Four of the five members of the Nitro Squad, being Ami, Liz, Isabella, and Megumi, were created for the original Crash Team Racing as non-playable characters, being motorsports models present at award ceremonies in the game, most commonly seen when a player gets a trophy. Because of this, they were colloquially referred to as the Trophy Girls,[citation needed] prior to the creation of the Nitro Squad, which was officially recognized by the creative director of Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled.[1] With Ami, Liz, Isabella, and Megumi appearing in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled as playable characters unlockable during the Nitro Tour Grand Prix in-game event, the Nitro Squad group was created with the inclusion of Tawna Bandicoot from the first Crash Bandicoot game; owing to this, Tawna appears as the lead character in promotional images depicting the Nitro Squad.
