For those who are uninitiated in the world of Crash Bandicoot, this metal box is literally the object Crash activates to serve as a checkpoint in his original platforming titles remastered via the Crash Bandicoot N. Sane Trilogy. There has never been an indication that these crates are sentient, nor capable of operating a vehicle, yet players can now use it as a racer if they find and break the “Beenox crates” hidden in every track.

There’s plenty more new content in Crash Team Racing for players to get excited about including a skin pack based on the developer Beenox, new time trials, and three more characters now available via the Pit Stop, its in-game shop. Unique items that were only accessible during Grand Prix seasons are also circulating the Pit Stop.

However, no doubt those who have stuck with Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled since launch will want to go after that playable crate for the bizarre novelty alone. It should make for a fun distraction while fans wait on the possible announcement of a Wrath of Cortex remaster.

Crash Team Racing: Nitro Fueled is available on PS4, Xbox One, and Switch.
