Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled - 15 Tips & Tricks The Game Doesn't Tell You

10. Jump Off As Many Surfaces As Possible (Height = Boost)

A meter that was in the original game, but has now been separated so it's far easier to see, look to the bottom right above the boost meter, and you'll see a "hang time" meter.

Aiming to give you a visualisation of the boosts you're building up, it ranges from blue to red depending on whether you can stay in the air for up to and beyond 1.5 seconds.

Keep this in mind when choosing to leap off the pirate ship in Crash Cove, or if you take the first shortcut on Hot Air Skyway, for example, as you'll immediately land into a sizeable jolt forward.

Also, tap hop when you go over ANY lip on the track to see this meter spike. All you need to do for the first tier of boost (green) is hang for 0.7 seconds - something you can do on the vast majority of humps and bumps every track.
