Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled: Ranking Every Character From Worst To Best

26. Zam

Someone has to be last, but Zam makes it pretty easy to choose who. All the post Naughty Dog characters struggle to get much traction with fans, but of those Zam has the blandest design.

Splashing out on the Nitrous Oxide Edition gets you Zam for free, although everyone else has get him from the Pit Stop. He won’t cost much, but still isn’t really worth it.

He comes in the easy to play Handling category, but by the time you’ve unlocked him, you’re probably decent enough at the game to play with more advanced categories. Some experts favour handlers to harvest blue flames, but for most part they’re too slow.

It’s tempting to say you should spend those coins on Zem instead, but let’s just say he’s not troubling the top ten here either.

The N. Sane Trilogy is essentially a hard reboot back to the beginning for Crash, so Zam doesn’t yet exist in the continuity. There’s a chance that Activision and Vicarious Visions (who’ll be handling main series games) will include him moving forward, but he hasn’t helped his chances here.

For now, he feels like a character you’ll grab just for completion, but rarely (if ever) actually use.
