Crash Team Racing was developed by Naughty Dog and released for the original PlayStation in 1999 as a kart-racing spin-off of the Crash Bandicoot platformers, starring Crash, Doctor Neo Cortex and friends. It became one of the console's best-loved multiplayer games, famous for its adventure mode, power-slide boosting and colourful tracks. The game returned in 2019 with the Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled remake by Beenox. Short clips from its music and sound effects now circulate on soundboards, where fans replay them as quick nostalgia hits for race memes, countdowns and retro gaming edits.
