Although the game in question does not have a real storyline, and therefore the risk of spoilers is definitely contained, we do not recommend going ahead with the silver, 2 gold and the inevitable platinum trophy. What is most surprising is the absence of objectives related to the online which, we are sure, will make some players happy and others unhappy.
We would like to point out that obtaining all the objectives in the game will not be a walk in the park at all: despite the presence of an excellent learning curve, unlocking the platinum trophy will require a lot of patience and, above all, a lot of skill. Nothing surprising for those who have already played the original version of the game.
To make navigation easier, we have included an index in this article, so that you will immediately find the trophy you are looking for.
The platinum trophy could also be obtained with a single run, but we strongly advise you to make two runs: the first one with a simple difficulty and the second one with the highest degree of difficulty. The explanation is soon said: by choosing the difficult mode right away, getting the relics will become an almost impossible challenge even for the most experienced players.
After completing all the tracks in a single game world, you will unlock the relics and challenges. In the first case, you will be called to run without opponents and complete the track within a certain time limit, and the only help will be the tills that will stop the passage of time for 1, 2 or 3 seconds. For the purpose of platinum, you will simply get the relics of lower rank: there will be no need, fortunately, for gold and platinum relics.
In the CTR challenges, instead, you will be called to win races against rivals and, in addition, to collect the letters C, T and R, scattered in certain points of the track. Are you in trouble with CTR challenges? Read our CTR token guide so that you can find them all in a short time.
Crystal Challenges, Gem Valley, CNK slopes
As soon as you beat Oxide, you'll have to meet certain conditions to face the boss again, defeating him for good. Each hub in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled the game will present a Crystals challenge, in which you'll be called to collect 20 crystals, arranged in a small playing area, in a limited time. These challenges, once completed, will make you get purple CTR tokens.
Beyond the story mode, there will also be Crystal Challenges in other game maps, available in Arcade mode. In all, the challenges in question will be 12, and you'll have to complete them all, beyond those already made in the story mode.
If you wander around the various game hubs, you will surely have noticed the Valley of Gems. By collecting all the CTR tokens of a given area. By getting all the CTR tokens, you'll get all the cups, and you'll be rewarded with the Gems of the respective most complex obstacle for all platinum hunters. To achieve the objectives related to these two bosses, you'll have to complete their challenges in time in all the circuits available in the game which, it is good to remember, are 31!
First, you'll have to complete the circuit in a reasonable amount of time, so you can unlock the ghost of N. Tropy; second, you'll have to beat the ghost, so you can compete against the ghost of Oxide, who, of course, you'll have to make eat dust. That means, basically, you'll have to complete each track at least three times, but you'll need quite a few attempts to master the various circuits to perfection.
While N.Tropy won't be impossible to defeat, the ghost of Oxide will be a real tough guy. The ghost of the boss will have a driving style to say the least, taking advantage of every single advantage he has at his disposal, as well as the various shortcuts present. The only way to defeat him is to master the driving style and, of course, read our guide to the shortcuts in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled .
