Near perfection: slick driving; creative tracks; hidden nuance; practically a remake of two games; hilarious skins; and a fun character selection that's clearly the result of the some super deep dives into the recesses of the Crash Wiki.

My main problem is how the unlocks are handled - only cosmetic things being unlockable is very good, and the special unlocks are all fair but challenging, but the Pit Stop system is tedious and there's no gaurantee that future players will be able to legitimately access the DLC characters. Some other minor complains are some iffy 90s stereotyping that only got semi-addressed, kart engine balancing being non-existant, and a small few dud tracks.
