<< List of race courses >>

Crash Cove is a race course in Crash Team Racing and its remake, Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled. It features Crash's name in its title, and has a beach setting. A large rock statue of Crash's face was added over the first turn in Nitro-Fueled. In Adventure Mode, Crash Cove is the first race course of N. Sanity Beach, and is also the first race course of the Red Gem Cup.

Course layout[edit]

The course begins with a small straightaway that splits between a large rock, with a left turn shortly after. The path goes around a section of ocean and under a dock with a wooden ramp just before it, offering racers a chance to get a hang-time boost and use a small ramp under the ocean's edge to get up to a grass patch, skipping driving under the dock entirely. A long wooden bridge over the water appears as a straightaway, which then transitions back to the sandy terrain. A left turn follows the bridge, with a shipwreck off to the right acting as another opportunity to get another hang-time boost. The course ends with a couple Turbo Pads just before the starting line.

CTR Challenge[edit]

C - In the air next to the shipwreck near the end of the course.

T - Located on the dock racers normally drive under.

Trivia[edit]

  • Crash Cove was inspired by Crescent Island from Diddy Kong Racing, as a way to prove that tracks in a similar size could work on the PlayStation.
  • The shipwreck in Nitro-Fueled switches the course's music to that of a pirate-themed version when driven on.
  • Inferno Island from Crash Nitro Kart has a couple similarities to this course, including the beach setting and a pirate ship appearing as a notable element. The pirate ship was changed to that of Oxide's spaceship in Nitro-Fueled.
