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

25. Small Norm

We all want as many characters as possible to be in the game, but when it comes to the Norms, would it really have hurt to have had just one of them?

It makes more sense than not too, with Big and Little Norm (he’s called Little, not Small in Nitro Kart) two parts of the same character. He can separate himself into two forms, but the fact you can get one without the other feels weird.

With the Pit Stop storefront rotating, you might be forced to pick up Small Norm on your way to unlocking the rest of the characters. He’s just very strange, and with Big Norm he isn’t even unique.

His only sliver of uniqueness comes from being the only character in the Balanced class you can buy from the Pit Stop. However, considering you get Crash and Cortex in the same category right at the start of the game and can unlock Fake Crash too, Small Norm really isn’t going to get much traction.

You’d need a big draw to get players off the other Balanced racers, and Small Norm just doesn’t bring it. His Kabuki skin is cool, but that’s about it.
