Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fuelled - 8 Ways To Blow The Original Out The Water

4. Spyro As A Playable Character

Just prior to Crash Team Racing trailer, the official Spyro Twitter uploaded a strange image. It showed the purple dragon soaring over some icy mountains with something blurry in the background. On its own, this wouldn’t be too suspicious; the recent Reignited Trilogy has plenty of ice themed levels for Spyro to glide through. However, the caption caused most of the fuss. ‘Made it to Glacier Park...’ Spyro tweeted.

Glacier Park is nowhere to be found in the Reignited Trilogy, because it’s actually a hub world in Crash Team Racing. And that blurry image in the background? Squint real hard and it could be Crash in his racing kart.

Considering this came just hours before the trailer, the two things are obviously linked. But that doesn’t necessarily mean Spyro will be playable. Was it just part of a joint marketing promotion? A lot of Crash fans are Spyro players too, after all. Or has Spyro literally made it to Glacial Park? Will the purple dragon be a playable character when Crash Team Racing launches next summer? The desperate wishes of a thousand 90s gamers say yes.
