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

Krunk is the most colourful character in the game, and that’s before you even get into any unlockable skins.

Unfortunately, you get into the unlockable skins quite early, and this somewhat diminishes Krunk’s appeal. His multicoloured visage is much less impressive when he’s lining up against Blue Hyena Crash, Electron Coco, Clownfish Nash and Ballerina N. Gin.

It’s not just that which hurts Krunk’s rankings. He feels a little out of place; where Crunch Bandicoot is too plain, Krunk is over stylised in the extreme.

That said, this a game so cartoonish that an alien wants to turn Earth into a car park unless a bandicoot beats him in a race. Being extreme here is much better than being bland.

The fact that he has no skins other than simple palette swaps feels like a huge cop out too, and can only hurt his ranking. After starting with such a great look, that’s definitely a let down.

His stats have been cut down from his debut in Nitro Kart for balance, and his Sticky Fruit power up has been stripped away, which makes him add up to a whole lot of nothing.
