Crash Team Racing PS1: Ranking EVERY Racer From Worst To Best

15. Pinstripe Potaroo

Pinstripe Potaroo is a good idea done very badly, which is a surprise, given that Crash Bandicoot tended to do fairly weird ideas exceedingly well. A gangster Potaroo with his ratlike appearance makes for a good first impression, but after that he's all downhill.

Pinstripe is one of the last characters you unlocked in the original version of the game, and as such by the time he was a playable character, you already had settled into you favourite. Of course, some characters higher up the list made you want to change over and see what you'd been missing out on... not Pinstripe.

He's irritating in the extreme, and quite clearly isn't designed to be. He's just not particularly enjoyable to race as or with. He brings with him a great track, but it doesn't feel all that representative of him. It feels like it was picked with a boss race in mind, but not necessarily Pinstripe.

Somebody has to come last, basically. Crash Team Racing is an amazing game with some great characters, but Pinstripe just isn't one of them. Any easy choice for last, although 14th place tried their best to finish bottom too.
