Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled: 10 Racers Who MUST Be Unlockable In A Grand Prix

4. Komodo Moe

Crash Team Racing brings us both Zem and Zam, Big Norm and Small Norm, but only one of the Komodo Bros. made the cut. As in the original, it’s the leaner of the pair, Joe, who gets the nod.

It makes sense that of the pair of them, it’s the slimmest Komodo Bro doing the racing. Then again, Papu Papu is much bigger than Moe and is down as a speedster character, so there wasn’t necessarily logic behind the decisions.

Still, in the original game, places were limited. Moe was one of the ones who missed out, and admittedly both brothers as separate bosses would’ve seemed a bit uninspired.

A Wacky Races style Gruesome Twosome machine might have been brilliant, but probably too difficult to implement in 1999.

Whatever the justifiable reasons might be for Moe’s absence, with Beenox promising to add more characters post launch, he’s surely near the head of the queue.

With the Komodo Bros having one of the most unique original trilogy boss battles only to subsequently vanish, they’ve gained some cult popularity. Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled can only help their cause, and may see them feature in future instalments too.
