Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled - 10 Best Tracks
5. Blizzard Buff
Blizzard Buff is massively popular online, providing a blend of hazards around a relatively short track which will punish any mistake extremely harshly.
It’s very speedy and needs you to keep your eye constantly on the ball, all while lining up the perfect line for your shortcuts. While little tricks to cut bends are nothing new in Crash Team Racing, the fact Blizzard Buff’s happens as you’re skidding over the ice makes things harder.
If you’re not in the right spot, you can end up helplessly crashing between the three gaps with no real control over how it happens. Yes, that’s three gaps, as Blizzard Buff offers you an extreme shortcut, an easier, smaller one, as well as the typical path around the bend.
Add to that the rolling boulder and sheer drops and you get one of the most varied tracks in the game, despite its fairly standard shape.
Polar Pass could have been here too, but the fact it typically just flings you over the wall on its shortcut while Blizzard Buff makes you work for it edges it out, even if Polar Pass takes more skill overall.
