Crash Tag Team Racing (クラッシュ・バンディクーがっちゃんこワールド, Kurasshu Bandikū Gatchanko Wārudo^?, Crash Bandicoot Gatchanko World) is the third racing game in the Crash Bandicoot series, following Crash Team Racing and Crash Nitro Kart. On a side note, the music is once again done by Spiralmouth, like the previous game Twinsanity, while Marc Baril composed the music heard in the racetracks.

[edit] Gameplay

This game combines the elements of a platformer with a racing game. Players can now "clash" with an opponent during a race, and fuse their cars together, so one player controls the car, and the AI controls the turret, somewhat similar to Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, but the turret is only active if two cars are clashed. If they are not, the game is played with one driver per car. You can also switch seats between the driver and the gunner at any time, and even switch weapons to the ones pertaining to the person you're clashed with. Unclashing can be done at any time as well. The first person to unclash gets ahead of the other. This can be good, but can also be bad. It's good because you can get ahead easily, but bad because you're now an easy target for the car behind you.

The sections out of the car occur in Ebeneezer Von Clutch's amusement park, and feature Crash as the selectable character. They're free-roaming styled, so the player has a large amount of land to explore. The player can also interact with the many people walking around the park, by talking to them, or just attack them in mischievous ways. Also present in these sections is the Die-O-Rama, in which instead of avoiding to get killed, the player will seek death, in order to unlock a humorous cutscene with Crash getting killed in a cartoon style. Asides from these two main genres, the game also includes various mini-games, such as bowling with penguin pins. There also some screens where Crash will treat the park drones badly, like giving them a poison apple, or dumping them in shark-infested waters.

[edit] Story

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The game opens with a Howard Cosell/George Foreman-esque pair of chicken sports commentators named Chick Gizzard-Lips and his hip co-worker Stew, welcoming us to the farewell race of Von Clutch's MotorWorld. Long ago, Ebeneezer Von Clutch, the deranged German cyborg genius fabricated the ultimate auto-racing theme park. For years, the park's racetracks have wreaked terror on its participants in ways too gruesome for them to describe over the air. But now the park's Power Gems, which have kept the park active, have been stolen, giving Von Clutch only a few hours to get them back, or he'll surely have to turn out the lights on his lifelong dream. In the process of finding more racers to help him, Crash Bandicoot, Coco Bandicoot, Crunch Bandicoot, Doctor Neo Cortex, Doctor N. Gin, and Nina Cortex literally crash in. Von Clutch recruits them for assistance. At first, Cortex is unwilling to help Von Clutch. But then he explains that whoever retrieves all the Power Gems will win the ownership of the park. Even Von Clutch's beloved Black Power Gem, which is his life source, is gone. Without it, Von Clutch will die in a matter of hours. N. Gin informs Cortex that this strange theme park is fertile grounds for them to "plant their new seed of evil", which means that if they win, they'll have a new evil base, all the churros they can eat, and rid themselves of the Bandicoots all at the same time. From there, we are introduced to Pasadena O'Possum, a professional racer hired by Von Clutch to ensure his continued ownership of the park, and Willie Wumpa Cheeks, the "jolly park mascot" of Von Clutch's MotorWorld and the producer of "Wumpa Whip", the parks most popular beverage. The game begins.

After Crash recovers all the Power Gems and officially wins himself the ownership of the park, Coco deduces that whoever stole the Power Gems in the first place had some connection to Wumpa Whip, because there's been a trail of Wumpa Whip at every crime scene of the park. Willie Wumpa Cheeks admits that he stole the Power Gems and the Black Power Gem (though without any given motive as to why he stole them). Von Clutch is struck with disbelief. With the Black Power Gem in his possession, Willie flees to Astro Land, saying that they can "look for him in the sky". He is planning to blast off into outer space through Astro Land's largest rocket. Crash Bandicoot decides to stop Willie Wumpa Cheeks, retrieve the Black Power Gem, and save the weakened Ebeneezer Von Clutch. In Astro Land, Crash sees Willie entering the rocket, preparing for liftoff. But when Crash pulls a nearby lever, the launch is aborted. Crunch opens up the rocket door and grabs Willie by the nose. Just when they're about to interrogate Willie about the location of the Black Power Gem, somebody shoots him from afar, resulting in a dead Willie, liquefied in a puddle on the ground. The culprit is Neo, N. Gin and Nina inside a battleship. Cortex is prepared to obliterate the Bandicoots for ruining his plans for using Von Clutch's amusement enterprise as the ideal strategic cover. After Cortex attempts to destroy the Bandicoots with an M2 machine gun mounted on his ship, Crash tosses a chicken into the ship's main rotor, causing the ship to behave erratically and unpredictably. Cortex promises Crash they'll meet again as he flies off in his malfunctioning ship.

As the Bandicoots are handed the deed to the park, Coco decides that the deed should be returned to where it belongs: with Ebeneezer Von Clutch. But Pasadena informs them that that's an impossibility. Because the Black Power Gem was never recovered, it is apparent that Von Clutch will remain deactivated. As everyone mourns the loss of their dear friend (all except Crash , who is attempting to find and consume more Wumpa Whip), Crash starts choking on something. He coughs up Von Clutch's Black Power Gem, which jettisons into the slot, reviving Von Clutch. He thanks Crash for all he's done, and gives free lifetime passes to Von Clutch's MotorWorld to all the Bandicoots. Unfortunately, Crash inadvertently ejects the Black Power Gem (thus deactivating Von Clutch) after giving V.C. a friendly slap on the back. Before anyone has a chance to react, Crash jumps into the orange car he was seen driving at the beginning and drives off, leaving Coco, Crunch and Pasadena behind. The three just stare for a second, realising too late what has just happened. Pasadena then silently groans and look at Crunch, who smiles weakly and shrugs his shoulders. Coco holds, and shakes, her head.

[edit] Plot holes

One of the games many criticisms is its plot hole-filled story. Below is a list of notable plot holes.

Crash and his friends have no apparent reason for collecting the Power Gems, let alone caring for Von Clutch's situation.

Von Clutch is shown being able to survive for a short period of time after his Black Power Gem is stolen for the first time, but he "breaks down" immediately after he loses it the second time (when Crash knocks it out by accident) the possibility for this is Von Clutch may have had a backup power reserve that had run out, but is still a plothole nonetheless.

Willie Wumpa Cheeks has absolutely no motive for stealing the Black Power Gem.

There is no official indication of how Chick, Stew, or Pasadena came into existence.

N. Gin

Main article: N. Gin

N. Gin is Cortex's Peter Lorre-esque right-hand man, and a former employee in the defense industry. Along with Cortex, N. Gin sees the ownership of the park as the answer to their dilemma, as the strange theme park is a great place for strategic cover. Voiced by Nolan North.

Nina Cortex

Main article: Nina Cortex

Nina is a Cortex with a few "cybernetic adjustments" and is Dr. Neo Cortex's Gothic niece. She happened to be with Neo when he was recruited to retrieve the Power Gems. She gets a part time job in food service for some extra pay midway into the game. Voiced by Amy Gross.

Pasadena O'Possum

Main article: Pasadena O'Possum

Pasadena is an opossum with a Texan accent. She is an expert racer, and because of this, Von Clutch hires her to race against Crash's and Cortex's team to ensure his continued ownership of the park. She ends up helping the Bandicoots in winning the race for the Power Gems against Neo Cortex, Nina and N. Gin, and in retrieving the Black Power Gem. It's more than obvious that she has a crush on Crash. Crash, however, may or may not have the same feelings for Pasadena. Either way, he doesn't like the idea of kissing her; He keeps making throw-up noises whenever Pasadena wants to kiss him. Voiced by Shanelle Workman.

Ebeneezer Von Clutch

Main article: Ebeneezer Von Clutch

Von Clutch is a green, deranged, German accented cyborg genius who owns Von Clutch's MotorWorld, the world-renowned auto-racing theme park. He's quite a fan of Crash, as he has all his games and he loves the video-heroes and video-villains (he even mentioned that whenever he saw them, his innards tingled with joy. He even reveals Cortex's full name of "Doctor Neo Periwinkle Cortex". However, someone had stolen the Power Gems that has kept the park up and running for years. Even the Black Power Gem, which keeps the cybernetic Von Clutch alive, is gone. He hosts a racing tournament to give away the deed of the park before his passing. Crash, of course, collects all the Power Gems, and Von Clutch survives. He rewards the Bandicoots by giving them free lifetime passes to Von Clutch's MotorWorld. Voiced by Danny Mann.

Willie Wumpa Cheeks

Main article: Willie Wumpa Cheeks

Willie is Ebeneezer's "jolly park mascot." He is the producer of Wumpa Whip, the park's most popular beverage. He speaks in riddles and rhymes, and freaks out other characters (mostly Cortex and Stew). After getting the last Power Gem, it is revealed that Willie stole the Power Gems, including the Black Power Gem that Von Clutch needs to live. He planned to escape into outer space with the Black Power Gem in his possession. After Crash cancels the launch, Crunch grabs him by the nose for the Black Power Gem, but Cortex blasts him, leaving only Willie's nose, which contained the Black Power Gem. Voiced by Roger L. Jackson.

Chick Gizzard Lips and Stew

Main articles: Chick Gizzard Lips, Stew (Crash Bandicoot)

Two anthropomorphic chickens who act as sportscasters in the events of the game. They're also your guides in the tutorial section of the game. Otherwise, they mainly serve as comic relief.

[edit] Reception

When the game arrived into stores, it was met with generally mixed reviews. One complaint about the game was that it somewhat mimicked Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'s dual kart system.[1] And though many critics praised the game's Voltron-esque "car-clashing" element, their main complaints were the game's framerate issues and overall lack of challenge (i.e. the inability to really die in the platforming sections of the game). The game is rather controversial among Crash fans due to the changes made to the characters' personalities and the plot hole-filled storyline.

[edit] Trivia

Although Aku Aku doesn't directly appear in this game, he is seen as the tiki-men's masks in the Tiki Turbo track, thus continuing his "perfect attendance" record.
Even though Uka Uka doesn't appear here either, he can be seen on the odd tiki curtains in Mystery Island (near Doctor Cortex).
A Nintendo DS version was also to be released but was eventually scrapped. It is unknown why this happened.
Whenever Dr. Cortex fails to hit someone with a weapon during a race, he might say "That would've hit you, but this game is rated E!" Strangely enough, the game is rated E10+.
This is the first Crash game to have a rating higher than E.
This is also the first Crash game where a curse word is used. If you bump into Crunch's car, he'll sometimes say, "Damn sucka! You crazy!"
Cortex's full name is revealed to be Neo Periwinkle Cortex.
This is the first Crash game to be released for the Playstation Portable.
This game marks the second time Jess Harnell has starred in a Crash Bandicoot game (he voices Crash in this game), he had previously voiced Lo-Lo the wind Element in Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex
This also mark the third time Quinton Flynn has starred in a Crash Bandicoot game (He voices Chick Gizzard Lips in this game), he had previously voiced The Evil Twins/Moritz and Victor and Dr. N. Gin in Crash Twinsanity, who he also voiced along with Nitros Oxide in Crash Nitro Kart.
Strangely, even though Quinton Flynn is one of the cast members of this game, he doesn't reprise his role as Dr. N. Gin. (He voices him in Crash Twinsanity and Crash Nitro Kart). Susan Silo also makes a second appearance (she was also in Twinsanity), but again doesn't reprise her role as Nina Cortex (who she 'voiced' in Crash Twinsanity).

[edit] Cultural references

[edit] Anime and manga

The cars clashing together is reminiscent of Voltron.

[edit] Film

When flying through the air, Coco might say "Top of the world, Ma!" which is a reference to the James Cagney film White Heat.

There is a Park Drone located in Astro Land that is a parody of actor W. C. Fields.

[edit] Music

Although no familiar songs are heard in the score for the Tiki Turbo track, the score itself seems to take inspiration from Klaus Badelt's score from the 2003 movie Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. There's even a racetrack called Pirates of the Carbureator, which is an obvious play on the Disney ride Pirates of the Caribbean.

Part of the score for the Evilocity track is "Night on Bald Mountain" by Modest Mussorgsky.

The score for the La Brea Car Pits track is an instrumental a capella remix of "Rite of Spring" by Igor Stravinsky.

Part of the score for the Tire and Ice track is "Hungarian Dance no. 5" by Johannes Brahms. Also, the final lap music (if you're in 1st or 2nd place) is the classic Tetris music remixed.

When destroying an opponent, Cortex might say "Burn baby burn!" and then say "Disco Inferno!".

After winning a race, Cortex might say "Who let the canines out? Woof! Woof Woof!", which is based on the chorus line of the Baha Men song Who Let the Dogs Out?.

When a Grand Prix is won, the Pomp and Circumstance Marches can be heard in the background.

The ending credits music is a remix of the Crash Twinsanity theme.

[edit] Other

Chick 'n' Stew, the chicken sports commentators that appear in the game, are a parody of Howard Cosell and George Foreman.

Crunch's voice and personality in this game is obviously based on Mr. T.

When Coco's car is destroyed, she sometimes mutters "Aww, derryberries!", which is a reference to Coco's voice actress Debi Derryberry.

When Pasadena's car is destroyed, she sometimes proclaims "I knew I shoulda got a job at Dollywood instead." Dollywood is a Tennessee theme park owned by country music singer Dolly Parton.

In the opening cinematic when Cortex is hit by a chicken in the face. This is probably a reference to Fabio being hit by a goose in the face riding a rollercoaster in Busch Gardens.
