| The '''Nitro Squad''' is a group of characters that appear in ''[[Crash Team Racing]]'' and its remake, ''[[Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled]]''. The group is formed by [[Ami]], [[Liz]], [[Isabella]], and [[Megumi]], with [[Tawna Bandicoot]] being associated with, but not a part of, the group in ''Nitro-Fueled''.<ref group=note>Even though the Nitro Squad is always shown with her, Tawna is mentioned separately from the Nitro Squad in official Activision blog entries for ''Nitro-Fueled'', with the Nitro Squad likewise only being mentioned to be composed by Ami, Liz, Isabella, and Megumi.</ref>

| The Nitro Squad first appears, with no official name, in ''Crash Team Racing'' as non-playable characters in the game, being [[wikipedia:Promotional model#Motorsports model|motorsports models]] present at award ceremonies often seen whenever a player gets a trophy; Thomas Wilson, the creative director of ''Nitro-Fueled'', mentions in an official Activision blog entry for the game that these characters used to be called the '''Trophy Girls''',<ref name=trophygirls>{{cite web |url= https://blog.activision.com/crash-bandicoot/2019-06/Get-Ready-for-the-Grand-Prix |title= Get Ready for the Grand Prix: Beenox Introduces Post-Launch Content for Crash™ Team Racing Nitro-Fueled |date= June 12, 2019 |first= Thomas |last= Wilson |website= Activision |archive-url= http://web.archive.org/web/20190720113405/https://blog.activision.com/crash-bandicoot/2019-06/Get-Ready-for-the-Grand-Prix |archive-date= June 20, 2019 |accessdate= zam}} "Together, they are now known as the Nitro Squad (formerly known as the Trophy Girls in the original CTR) and are now characters that you can race with!"</ref> with this being a term that had never appeared in official ''Crash Bandicoot'' media. The Nitro Squad name was created for the group in ''Nitro-Fueled''; the name is derived from ''Nitro-Fueled''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s "Nitro" theme, which references the [[Nitro Crate|Nitro Crate]]s seen throughout the [[Crash Bandicoot (series)|''Crash Bandicoot'' series]] as well as [[wikipedia:Nitrous oxide|nitrous oxide]].
