Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueledhas earned a reputation as being a hard game, especially for a kart racer. However, there are ways thatCrash Team Racing Nitro-Fueledplayers can make things a lot easier on themselves, with one of the most important skills to learn being how to use drifts to power slide and get a speed boost.
For those wondering how to drift inCrash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, it’s a little different than how drifting works in other kart racers likeMario Kart. InCrash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled, players need to start the drift by holding in one of the bumpers and pulling the left analog stick. A meter in the bottom right-hand corner will start to fill up, and when that meter shows flames (players can also look for their wheels to light up or for black smoke to come from their vehicle’s exhaust), tap the opposite bumper. Players can do this up to three times to build a boost, and then after letting go of the bumpers, the racer will fly off with a speed boost.
These kinds of drifts inCrash Team Racing Nitro-Fueledare called Power Slides, and mastering them is key to doing better in the game. Learning how to pull these off is certainly integral for anyone who hopes to complete all of the Time Trials andunlock all of theCrash Team Racing Nitro-Fueledcharacters, so players should practice it as much as possible.
Of course, there are other waysCrash Team Racing Nitro-Fueledplayers can improve their performance in the game. Knowing the tracks and the hazards they have to avoid definitely helps, as does using items strategically to increase one’s odds of winning. Those who don’t care about unlocking achievements/trophies can even use theCrash Team Racing Nitro-Fueledcheatsto give themselves a significant advantage.
Using cheats inCrash Team Racing Nitro-Fueledalso makes it impossible to collect some rewards, likeWumpa Coins. This means that players who use cheats won’t truly be able to unlock everything in the game, and so we don’t recommend it except for some laughs.
