Booyah, Grandma!

Win a Cup Race in the Adventure Mode.

Relic Collector

Earn all the Relics in the Adventure Mode.

Race on a track you have already won once again and choose the Relic Race. This is a Time Trial Mode in which you will have to break crates in order to stop the time for a few seconds. Beat the time requirement to unlock the relic. You only need the lowest level Relic (Sapphire) on every track. The Gold / Platinum Relics are NOT needed! This means you only need to beat the easiest time requirement and get any relic on each of the 16 playable tracks.

Gem Collector

Earn all the Gems in the Adventure Mode.

First you must beat the story in Adventure Mode to open up the big gate in the Gem Stone Valley hub-world. Behind that gate is the entrance to 5 Gem Cups. Gem-Cups are unlocked by collecting all CTR-Tokens of a single color. Obtain all CTR Tokens in the game to unlock all Cups. A Gem-Cup is a series of multiple races which will award you points depending on your position. Win all of them to earn this trophy.

Token Collector

Earn all the CTR Tokens in the Adventure Mode.

In Adventure mode, after winning a race for the first time you can return to it and a new option “CTR Challenge” can now be selected. The CTR Challenges require you to find 3 hidden letters “C”, “T”, “R” on all 16 race tracks. In addition to this, you must also win the race while collecting the letters! It’s highly recommended to play Adventure Mode on easy difficulty for this. The reason being that some letters are in odd places that slow you down, which makes finishing races more difficult (and on hard difficulty it’s near impossible on some tracks to win while also going for those letters). See the below guide for all CTR Letter Locations on all Tracks. » Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled – All CTR Challenges Letter Locations

Photo Finish

Win a race with less than 0.3 seconds between you and the second place.

Most likely this will come naturally on your path to platinum, particularly while attempting the Adventure Mode on hard difficulty. But if you want to get it out of the way, play a short race track like Roo’s Tubes on easy. Let an opponent stay a bit in front of you and pass them just before the finish line. Or you can also slow down just before the finish line to let the 2nd place catch up.

BOOM!

Hit two opponents with a single Bowling Bomb.

Bowling Bombs are those black balls which you can roll behind or towards yourself. You can get them randomly from boxes during every race. There’s a bit of luck is involved to get this done – first you need to get a Bowling Bomb and then you need to get two opponents close together. Try shooting into crowded areas like sharp curves.

Super Boost!

Do a Super Boost.

While having 10 Wumpa Fruits hit a Turbo-Pad after performing a triple Slide-Boost. Should come naturally.

Expert Dodger

Win a boss challenge without getting hit by any of the boss’ Power-Ups.

Easiest way of doing it is beating any boss on Easy difficulty. They are fairly slow on easy and once you overtake them there should be no chance of them catching up to you and since they only throw their powerups behind them, they won’t be able to hit you.

Drifter

Drift 15 Times in a row during a race.

Press + , + and repeat 15 times. It can be very short drifts, you don’t necessarily have to wait for your tires to get a “burning” effect (but doing so is also fine). It’s best to do this on the race track “Coco Park”. Give the opponents 30 seconds headstart so nobody is in your way, then jump-drift left and right. Between each drift it’ll do a jump to trigger the next drift. Coco Park has very wide roads and is an easy circular track. Sometimes it won’t count a drift for some reason even though you do it correctly, but don’t worry. Just keep drifting the entire race and it will pop along the way. It may take 20 or 30 drifts.

Master Drifter

Successfully use all three Turbo Boost charges 5 times in a row during a race.

Turbo Boost is performed while drifting with + and then tapping when the smoke from your exhaust turns black, or when the boost bar in the bottom right corner turns red. You must do this 3 times in a single drift for a faster boost. Do the 3-boost-combo 5 times in a row without failing to unlock this trophy. In other words: do 15 Turbo Boost in a row during a race (5 x 3 Turbo Boosts). After each set of 3 Turbo Boost you need to press + again to start a new drift that lets you use another 3 Turbo Boosts. If you fail only one Turbo Boost (pressing too early or too late), it will reset the count for the trophy. All slides you start must result in a triple Turbo Boost, 5 times in a row! It’s easiest to do this while driving in a circle. The race track “Coco Park” works well. Let the opponents pass you at the start so you have free space. At the first left turn you can drift in a big circle on the road and grass. See the video for a demonstration. Note: Do it in Single Race mode through the Local Arcade (from Main Menu) if it doesn’t pop in other modes.

Burning Rubber!

Drift Boost a total of 500 times.

Turbo Boost is performed by pressing while drifting ( + or ). Once the boost bar turns red press and this will perform a Boost. Perform 500 times for the trophy. An alternative way is to watch out for the black smoke from your exhaust during a drift. When you see black smoke press to activate the boost.

Yeeee HAW!

Complete the Adventure Mode on the Hard difficulty.

In the CTR Nitro-Fueled Remake you can choose between the Classic Adventure Mode and the new Nitro-Fueled Adventure Mode. In Classic Mode you can’t select hard difficulty. But in Nitro-Fueled Adventure you can switch racers between tracks and choose the difficulty at the beginning of the Adventure Mode. So you’ll have to play the new Nitro-Fueled mode to even select hard difficulty and earn this trophy. For this trophy you only need to complete the 16 story races on hard and defeat Nitrous Oxide the first time. It is NOT needed to reach 100% completion on hard. This means you can skip all CTR Challenges, Relics, and Crystal Challenges. Only the 16 main story races are needed, which thankfully makes this a lot more doable. In hard mode the AI drives faster than you from the get-go and you will need to master the tracks to be able to beat them. On some tracks the AI is forgiving (Tiger Temple, Oxide Station) and on others they are driving insane times which are sometimes even faster than those of N.Tropy in his Time Trials (Cortex Castle, Tiny Arena). Attempting this on your first run will be troublesome and is not recommended. Only try hard after you’ve learned to beat all Oxide times in Time Trials.

Hyper Speed

Finish first when you were last on the final lap.

Self-explanatory. Being last gives you better Power-Ups so it is totally doable catching up the first placed opponent. The clock or the Aku-Mask should help you catch up quickly.

Rear-viewed

Block an incoming missile with all of the following Power-Ups: Beaker, Crate, Bowling Bomb.

When an opponent shoots a missile at you, you will see a red square and some arrows getting closer to each other, this is the distance between you and the missile. Throw all of the mentioned Power-Ups behind you to protect yourself from it.

The New Time-Master

Beat all of Nefarious Tropy’s times in Time Trial Mode.

Gasmoxian Slug

Beat all of Nitros Oxide’s times in Time Trial Mode.

In “Local Arcade” > “Time Trial” you can set a time for each track in the game. If your time is good enough you will unlock the N. Tropy Ghost. Beat N. Tropy to unlock N. Oxide Ghost. You will have to beat N.Tropy first and only then it will count your time for Oxide! Even if you beat the Oxide Time in a previous run it won’t count! It will only count when you race against Oxide’s ghost (after beating Tropy’s time). You will have to beat N.Tropy in ALL Time Trials except the one bonus track “Retro Stadium”. That’s 18 Trials from Crash Team Racing (CTR) + 13 from Crash Nitro Kart (CNK). Only the 18 Crash Team Racing tracks are NOT enough for this trophy, you need the CNK tracks too. It’s worth noting that this is harder than in the original PS1 version because the time requirements are more strict in the PS4 Remake.

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled – Boost Mechanic Explained (How to Drift-Boost & Use Sacred Fire)

Natural

Win a race without using any Power-Ups.

Self-explanatory. Play on easy and you should win even without Power-Ups. Using Shortcuts can make it easier.

Nitrostalgia

Finish first on all tracks. (CTR & CNK)

Simply win a race on all tracks in the game. This includes all Crash Team Racing (CTR) tracks as well as all Crash Nitro Kart (CNK) tracks. You can do this in Local Arcade against easy AI or second controller. There are 32 Tracks in total: 18 from Crash Team Racing (CTR) + 13 from Crash Nitro Kart (CNK) + 1 Bonus Track. However, the bonus track can be skipped for this trophy. The ones you already won in Adventure mode don’t have to be repeated. However, the two tracks from Gem Stone Valley need to be repeated because in Adventure they are only Relic Challenges and you must play single races for it to count. Other than this you only have to do the CNK tracks after having finished Adventure mode already. No need to replay CTR tracks in Arcade if you already won in Adventure.

Can’t Hide From Me

Successfully land all three missiles from a Triple Missile Power-Up.

While having 10 Wumpa Fruits a single missile will turn into three. Hit with each one of them for the trophy. You can find them during every race randomly from boxes.

Weapon Technician

Use every Power-Up once. (Race & Battle Arena)

You will have to use each Power-Up at least once. They are found randomly in boxes during every race. Some are exclusive to Battle Mode (can be selected from the Arcade in Main Menu). After doing a few races, get your missing Power-Ups in Battle > Limit Battle. In this mode you can even select what Power-Ups to enable or disable! So if you are missing only a certain one you can disable all others to guarantee what you need will drop. TNT Crate

Dungeon Vaulter

Use the shortcut in Cortex Castle.

Just before the second bridge jump (which is the last jump before the end of the lap), there’s a wooden bridge inside the building you drive through. This wooden bridge is a shortcut, but the first part of the bridge is broken off, so you’re supposed to jump to it. Without a Turbo Boost this can be tricky, so an easier workaround is to drive across the bridge from the back (which you can do by turning left immediately before the big bridge jump). By driving it backwards the jump is much easier to make and no power-ups are needed.

Arctic Hurdler

Use the shortcut in Polar Pass.

For this jump you should first collect 10 Wumpa Fruit, it increases your speed and lets you jump further! Immediately after driving across the small wooden bridge with water on both sides, you will come through a frozen cave with two seals at the end (the seals that move and hurt you). Behind the seals is a wall with a yellow street-banner and black arrows on it. For the shortcut you must jump over this wall! Doing so requires a boost. One way is to do a jump (hold ) just before the two seals at the cave exit to gain a jump-boost. If you miss the boost, simply drive back and repeat until you can make it successfully. Alternatively, you can also try getting a Turbo Boost power-up from a box and use that to gain enough speed.

Winter Time Off-Roading

Use all of Blizzard Bluff’s shortcuts in the same race.

There are 4 Shortcuts in Blizzard Bluff, you must use them in one race. It’s recommended to get 10 Wumpa Fruit for the last 3 shortcuts, as it allows you to gain more speed and jump further. You can simply backtrack until you get all shortcuts in the same lap: Left of Start: through the snow behind a Rock Jump Across River: after the rolling bolder you drive across some ice, here take a sharp left turn and you can jump across a frozen river. It’s recommended to use a Turbo power-up for this. There are 4 boxes on the ice before the river shortcut so you can farm them until you get the Turbo Boost power-up. Also get 10 Wumpa Fruit first. Jump Across back of Fence: Immediately after jumping across the frozen River Shortcut, you can see a wooden fence on your left. There are two parts of the fence, you must jump across both parts. The best power-up for this is the Mask, the reason being that the fence is behind some snow an the Mask blocks the slow-down effect from the Snow. This way you can maintain full speed. Also backtrack a little to make use of the green turbo pad on the ground, just before the fence. Jump Across front of Fence: See #3 (this time pick the other part of the fence to jump across).

Pyramid Parkour

Use all of Papu’s Pyramid’s shortcuts in the same race.

There are 2 Shortcuts in Papu’s Pyramid needed for this trophy. You must get both in one race. After passing the first 3 carnivorous plants, you’re supposed to follow the bridge. Instead of doing so, jump through the opening on the left of the bridge (just after third carnivorous plant). There’s a little platform to land on, which lets you skip the curve in the bridge. Immediately after the last shortcut, once you jumped down from that shortcut platform you can jump onto a high road on the left side. This is before you pass by the 4th carnivorous plant.

Puddle Hopper

Use the shortcut in Crash Cove.

After taking the first left turn (near start of race), there will be a small wooden ramp with a puddle of water behind it. Jump over the ramp for a jump-boost, drive through the puddle of water and in the last moment hold for a high jump onto the meadow behind the water puddle. Using a character with high acceleration (such as Coco) makes it a bit easier. Alternatively, get a Turbo Boost Power-Up if you have trouble with this jump.

Half-Pipe Karting

Use the shortcut in Sewer Speedway.

This is one of the trickiest shortcuts. From the start of Sewer Speedway, at the first two tunnels, take the right-side tunnel. After this there are 3 tunnels (you will only see two, because the right one is hidden on a lower level). Jump down to the tunnel on the right side. Then you come to a waterway with blue water. On the right-side wall there will be a white writing “2+2-5” and behind this is an opening at the top of the wall. You need to jump through this opening. Use the right side of the water street as a “ramp”. The timing is really tricky here, you need to jump off at the last moment. Take a look at the video (can also watch it at lower speed to see the timing). It’s easiest with an acceleration class character such as Coco. It’s not necessary to boost for this, just having proper timing with the jump will suffice.

Let me in!

Use the shortcut in Tiger Temple.

You should attempt this in Time Trial Mode because the shortcut will always be open. In other modes it will be closed by default. After the first two flame-breathing traps, the path will split up. Take the left path and this will be the shortcut. In time trial mode you’ll see it easily. In normal race the path won’t split up because the shortcut will be hidden behind a big gate. To open it, you’d have to hit the gate with a power-up such as missiles, bowling bomb, or mask. Doing it in Time Trial mode makes it much easier to see.

Minekarting

Use the shortcut in Dragon Mines without being crushed.

Shortly after the start of Dragon Mines, you come through a water-filled pirate cave. After this cave, drive down the path slowly and you’ll see mine karts moving from left to right. When you see such a moving mine kart, follow it on its tracks. The minecart tracks themselves are the shortcut. But you must reach the other end without getting crushed by a minecart behind you. Just wait until one of them has moved and drive behind it.

I know the way!

Earn all the shortcut trophies.

Earn the above 8 shortcut trophies to unlock this one: Dungeon Vaulter, Arctic Hurdler, Winter Time Off-Roading, Pyramid Parkour, Puddle Hopper, Half-Pipe Karting, Let me in!, Minekarting.

Juiced Up!

Use all Juiced Up Power-Ups once. (Race & Battle Arena)

You will have to have 10 Wumpa Fruits in your inventory for a Juiced-Up Power-Up. This will turn your Power-Up into a stronger version of itself. You get them randomly from boxes during races. Some are exclusive to Battle Mode (can be selected from the Arcade in Main Menu). After doing a few races, get your missing Power-Ups in Battle > Limit Battle. In this mode you can even select what Power-Ups to enable or disable! So if you are missing only a certain one you can disable all others to guarantee what you need will drop. TNT Crate turns into Nitro Crate

Green N.Brio Beaker turns into Red N.Brio Beaker

Aku Aku / Uka Uka lasts longer

Invisibility (Battle Mode only)

Super Turbo (Battle Mode only)

Unstoppable

Sustain your boost for a whole lap.

By combining Power-Slide Turbo, Turbo-Pads and Turbo-Power Ups you will have to keep your exhaust on fire for a whole lap. This might be tricky but considering you want to beat Oxide Time Trials, this should come naturally at some point. The easiest track for it is Coco Park since you have a lot of space for triple-boosts and some turbo pads in between. Most important is the Slide-Boost. You initiate a Slide-Boost by drifting ( + / ) and then press when you see black smoke coming from your exhaust, or when the boost bar in bottom right turns orange. You can string 3 slide-boosts together per drift, doing 3 in a row results in one big boost, which you must do repeatedly to maintain your boost. After 3 boosts, jump with to initiate a new slide and you can do 3 new boosts again.

The Dominator!

Win a match in every type of Battle Mode.

Go to Main Menu > Local Arcade > Battle and win in all 5 Battle Modes: Limit Battle

Capture the Flag

Crystal Grab

Last Kart Driving

Steal the Bacon Before each match you can adjust the battle settings. You should put the AI on easy every time. Instead of a time limit you can also select the lowest possible score limit (or the highest one if you find that easier). You can also reduce the number of AI opponents to only one.

Get off me!

Free yourself from a TNT crate.

While having a TNT crate on your head spam in quick succession to jump repeatedly until the TNT disappears.

Alchemist

Directly hit an opponent with a thrown Beaker Power-Up.

Hit an opponent by throwing a Beaker (green flask power-up) forward since throwing it backward will make you place it instead of throwing it. You can press + to throw it forward.

That’s How I Roll

Customize your ride.

Self-explanatory. Change your vehicle, pattern, wheels or whatever you like. You can change the appearance of your ride before any race. You can also press “randomize”.
