''Crash Team Racing'' is a kart racer in which the player can select ''Crash Bandicoot'' characters to play as. In races, the player can control their character to accelerate, steer, reverse, brake, hop or use weapons and power-ups with the game controller's analog stick and buttons. Two distinct forms of [[crate]]s are scattered throughout the tracks and arenas of ''Crash Team Racing'':
''Crash Team Racing'' is a [[kart racing game]] in which the player controls characters from the ''Crash Bandicoot'' universe, most of whom compete in [[kart]]s. While racing, the player can accelerate, steer, reverse, brake, hop or use weapons and power-ups with the game controller's [[analog stick]] and buttons. Two distinct forms of [[crate]]s are scattered throughout the tracks and arenas of ''Crash Team Racing''. Crates with question marks on them hold power-ups and weapons, which can be obtained by driving through and breaking apart said crates. When the player collects a weapon or power-up, it will appear in a box at the top of the screen. The player can activate the weapon or power-up to wreak havoc on the other racers or supplement the player's own performance. "Fruit Crates" carry "Wumpa Fruit" that increase the speed of the player's kart and strengthen the player's weapons and power-ups if ten of them are obtained.

When the player collects a weapon or power-up, it will appear in a box at the top of the screen. The player can activate the weapon or power-up to wreak havoc on the other racers or supplement the player's own performance.
A crucial maneuver in ''Crash Team Racing'' is the power slide; the player executes the slide by holding down one of the shoulder buttons to perform a hop, and steering before the kart lands. While sliding, the "Turbo Boost Meter" on the lower-right corner of the screen fills up and goes from green to red. At the same time, the [[exhaust gas]] from the player's kart turns black. To get a speed boost, the player quickly presses the opposite shoulder button while the Turbo Boost Meter is red. The player can execute three speed boosts in a row during a power slide, with the third speed boost being more powerful than the previous two. If the player waits too long into the power slide for a boost, the kart [[back-fire]]s and the chance for a speed boost is lost; power sliding for too long causes a spin-out. Aside from power slides, speed boosts can be obtained by gathering [[wikt:hang time|hang time]] when leaping over gaps in the track. The longer the player is in the air, the bigger the speed boost will be when the kart lands.

After every race, an awards ceremony is shown. Each of the characters have two unique poses, depending on whether they have won or lost.

''Crash Team Racing'' features 5 racing modes: "Adventure, "Time Trial", "Arcade", "Versus" and "Battle". Before starting a mode, the player must select their racer. A PlayStation multitap can be installed to allow three or four-player games.
''Crash Team Racing'' features 5 racing modes: Adventure, Time Trial, Arcade, Versus and Battle. In each mode, the player selects 1 from 8 characters to control. A PlayStation [[multitap]] can be installed to allow three or four-player games. The "Adventure Mode" is a one-player game where the player must race through all of the tracks and arenas in the game and collect as many trophies, Relics, Boss Keys, CTR Tokens and Gems as possible. The objective of the Adventure Mode is to save the world from the story's antagonist, Nitros Oxide, by winning races on 16 different tracks. In the beginning of the game, the player only has access to two levels. As the player wins more races, more tracks on multiple worlds become available. In each level, the player must win a trophy by coming in first place. When the player receives all four trophies in a world, the "Boss Garage" of that world can be accessed. In the Boss Garage, the player competes in a one-on-one race against a boss. If the boss loses, the character will relinquish a Boss Key, which the player uses to access new worlds and ultimately to face Oxide inside his spaceship.
 
====Adventure====
"Adventure" is a single-player mode in which the player's racer must race through tracks and arenas and collect [[trophy|trophies]], [[Relic]]s, [[Boss Key]]s, [[CTR Token]]s and [[Gem]]s along the way. At first, the racer can only access two levels, but as more races are won, more tracks on multiple worlds become available. There are four worlds, each with four race courses and a Crystal Bonus Round. In each level, the player's racer must win a trophy by coming in first place. In doing so, the Relic Race and CTR Challenge are unlocked for that course. When the player receives all four trophies in a world, that world's [[Boss Garage]] is unlocked. In the Boss Garage, the player's racer has to race against the world boss. If the boss loses, they relinquish a Boss Key to the player's racer, allowing them to unlock the next world.
 
In a Relic Race, the player's racer must race on a course and complete it in the fastest time possible. They can drive through [[Time Crate]]s scattered around the course to freeze the timer for either 1, 2, or 3 seconds (depending on which number is shown on the crate). If all of the Time Crates are destroyed, the player's final time is reduced by ten seconds. If the racer beats the time indicated on the screen, they win a Relic.
 
A CTR Challenge is played like a normal race, except that the player's racer must also collect the letters C, T and R around the course. If the racer collects all three letters and wins in first place, they earn a [[CTR Token]]. These tokens come in five different colors: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow and Purple. The Purple CTR Tokens are awarded for beating the Crystal Bonus Round by collecting 20 [[crystal]]s with a time limit. If the player's racer collects four tokens of the same color, they can participate in the [[Gem Cup]] of the corresponding color. Gem Cups are racing tournaments held against other racers, and are accessed in a secret area in [[Gemstone Valley]]. A Gem Cup consists of four tracks in a row, in which the player must race for points. If the player's racer wins a Gem Cup, they are awarded a Gem.


====Time Trial====
After beating levels, new modes become available, such as the Relic Race, in which the player races through the track alone and completes three laps in the fastest time possible. "Time Crates" scattered throughout the level freeze the game timer when a player drives through them. If all of the Time Crates are destroyed, the player's final time is reduced by ten seconds. The player wins a Relic by beating the time indicated on the screen. Another mode, the CTR Challenge, is played like a normal race, except that the player must also collect the letters C, T and R scattered throughout the track. If the player manages to collect all three letters and come in first place, a "CTR Token" is awarded. These tokens come in five different colors: Red, Green, Blue, Yellow and Purple. The Purple CTR Tokens are awarded for beating the Crystal Bonus Round by collecting 20 crystals under a certain time limit. If the player collects four tokens of the same color, the player will be able to access the Gem Cup of the corresponding color. Gem Cups are racing tournaments held against computer-controlled opponents and are accessible in a secret area in the "Gemstone Valley" world. A Gem Cup consists of four tracks in a row, in which the player must race for points. If one of these cups is won, a Gem is awarded. To win the game, the player must collect all trophies, Boss Keys, Relics, CTR Tokens and Gems before defeating Nitros Oxide in a one-on-one race.
The "Time Trial" mode is a single-player mode where the player's racer attempts to set the best time on any of the tracks. There are no other racers to hinder the player and no power-ups. When the Time Trial is finished, the player has the option to save a [[ghost]], which serves as a replay of that race, so the next time the player accesses the track, they can race against the ghost. They can also race against N. Tropy and Nitros Oxide. Winning against them earns the player gold and platinum stars respectively.


====Arcade====

When the Time Trial is finished, the player has the option to save a "ghost", a replay of that race; the next time that track is accessed in this mode, the player can race against the ghost. They can also race against N. Tropy and Nitros Oxide. Winning against them earns the player gold and platinum stars respectively.
In the "Arcade" mode, the player can quickly scroll through and race on a selection of tracks. The player can choose to select a Single Race or enter a Cup, in which the player races on four tracks in a row for points. In the Single Race and the Cup Race, one or two players race with the remaining computer-controlled drivers. The difficulty of the race and number of laps can be customized.


====Versus====
In the "Arcade" mode, the player can quickly scroll through and race on a selection of tracks. The player can choose to select a Single Race or enter a Cup, in which the player races on four tracks in a row for points. In the Single Race and the Cup Race, one or two players race with the remaining computer-controlled drivers. The difficulty of the race and number of laps can be customized. The "Versus" mode is similar to that of the Arcade mode, with the exception that two or more human players must be involved.

====Battle====
In the "Battle" mode, up to four players can fight customized battles, launching weapons during combat in one of seven special battle arenas. The type and length (the latter modifies how many hit points or minutes the battle will have) of the battle can be adjusted beforehand, allowing for three types of battles. In a "Point Limit Mode" battle, the first player to achieve 5, 10 or 15 points wins. In the "Time Limit Mode" battle, the player with the highest points after 3, 6 or 9 minutes wins. In the "Life Limit Mode", each player has a set number of lives (3, 6 or 9) and the battle has a time limit (3, 6 minutes or forever). The player with the most lives at the end of the time limit wins. If "forever" is chosen as the length, the battle lasts until only one player is standing. Three and four players can team up for 2-vs.-1, 2-vs.-2, 3-vs.-1 or 1-vs.-1-vs.-2 battles.
