That number 6 rank transition almost made me spit out my drink of laughing at a random fart joke from Riko lol

My friends hated playing Polar Pass against me back in the day because the skill gap was super apparent, lol. I was the only one who was able to perfectly execute the narrow stretch with water on both sides every time without fail.

The color scheme of polar pass is SO GOOD too. Very pleasant to the eyes. It's amazing how they managed to make 2 snow tracks very distinct visually

I have like over 300 hours in Nitro Fueled and have played plenty of the original CTR on Duckstation and I kid you not I forgot Slide Colosseum even existed until you mentioned it, insanity

14:03 I agree with you, and I think part of it may have to do with the fact the spiral in Papu's Pyramid is fully made up of 90 degree angles, which makes it a lot easier to do mini-turbos. As a result, it's pretty hard to get through at first but once you get better the drifting system, it becomes pretty fun to steer through. Meanwhile the spiral in Komodo Mines is just one long and sharp curve so it's basically impossible to just drift through it without braking or hopping or just bouncing into the wall. Also great ranking video. Polar Pass and Hot Air Skyway are my favorites so it's nice to see them so high up here. Can't wait for the Nitro Kart and Nitro Fueled rankings

*_Cortex Castle is my favorite. It never gets old for me, and it looks stunning in the remake._*

Polar Pass is my fav too. Track is GOATED. Love the transitions, they were funny.

They’re high key my favorite parts of these ranking videos to make 😂

15:05 Princess Peach's reward to Mario for letting her get kidnapped so much.

You got me in to Crash speedrunning and Crash as a whole.

Dingo Canyon truly is one of the tracks of all time.

Alright alright I'll sub. Every video I've been seeing from you has been pretty consistently fire

The Wonder Showzen slaves built the pyramids song made me laugh my ass off, wasn't expecting that at all

I generally agree with this - nice list! Personally, my top would probably be Sewer Speedway. Coco park is definitely the easiest track - I've introduced the game to my sons theough Nitro fueled and Coco park was the first track my 5 year old was able to win on his own.

🎉 yaayy another Riko vid! Amazing work as always. I completely agree with turbo track, I used to get so proud with myself about unlocking it but playing again as and playing it in NF I felt like why is this your end game gift track

great video, never finished this game but all these tracks look hella fun

Great video Riko! Glad you are a fellow Sewer Speedway lover. :) Looking forward to the next vids in the series!

another banger video, unexpected theme and im excited for the next rankings

Papu's Pyramid spiral is definitely easier than Dragon Mine's. It takes longer to get through, but it doesn't bend as much.

This is a really good video. Good job.

Another great video Riko! My personal top 3: 1st Sewer Speedway 2nd Polar Pass 3rd N Gin Labs Still remember as a Kid when I first unlocked the time trail Ghost for Tropy and Oxide on Polar Pass and how awesome it was as a reveil since I had no idea it was a thing and just wanted to practice. Still like Sewer more as I always look forward to it on a fresh playthrough in the first hub. Btw a future video should be ranking all Crash characters so I can confirm you are a real one by ranking Pura above Polar xD

Pura is a cat so he wins by default

Personal turbo track and that 90° turn end of race is vety skill doing good. Need multiple break jump combo in short time very cool.

Predicted 3 of the top 4 correctly; and in order, too! Everybody knows Polar Pass is the business. Especially the mega cut over the river. Honestly didn't know about Oxide Station not being playable in multiplayer either (no friends havin ass lmao), but it makes sense! PS1 would probably burst into flames trying to render 4 parts of the level at once lol

The one I really disagree with is Dingo Canyon. Dingo Canyon imo is a really great one, specifically because of the Froggying and Speed Ghost mechanic. Going down that big hill just to try your best to get huge speed ghosts and jumps to mitigate the water is awesome, and right after you have up-hills again and again that are a prime area to fit a few more in. But you don't want to lose your reserves, so you can't do it too much either without just going slower. Lastly, the second turn after the giant hill that leads to the second pair or armadillos is also a little bit of a tricky turn, which can be very easy to take a bad line on with a Speed character specifically. Overall it's a track that you can optimize a lot on, but is not the easiest to do so either. When you pull it off though it's so satisfying. Coco Park actually has a similar appeal, as an aside, and its straight-forwardness just makes it all the more interesting to see how you lost or gained time. And the fact that Mystery Cave really doesn't have have any great opportunities for this kind of thing is part of why I'm not huge on it, because it feels like it ought to. Final thoughts: Tiny Arena would be one of my favourites if not for its S-turn in the middle, Roo's Tubes's speedghosts are sick, and I absolutely agree that Polar Pass is one of the highest peaks of this game, and is my personal favourite as well. I feel like most people would probably walk away happy enough with your list.

Hey bro welcome back

hell yeah!! i'd put n gin labs at the top personally, but i agree with most rankings here 👍love the transition gags as well lawl

The community made the original ctr into a online game for free and suprisingly is better then nitro fueled online. Also besides of that i highly reccomend Dr. Robotnik Ring Racers,is the best kart racing fangame of all time. 151 race tracks,almost 50 characters to unlock,so many mechanics then is one of the most complex kart racing ever and the visuals are gorgeous like wow,they nailed the Saturn era style. P.d. i love Sewer Speedway A LOT.

lol... I would put Coco Park at the bottom.

Honestly a very fair ranking

Papu Pyramid's Spiral isn't as tedious as Dragon Mines' so I'm not surprised the later is ranked lower. Hot Air Skyway is my personal favorite because when you know how to drive, it go pretty fast and the satisfaction is huge. But I do agree on Polar Pass being one of the best because it has everything right about CTR as a whole =)

Good list. HAS is my favorite from OG but we matched on the Sewer Speedway placement, though in transition to NF Sewer is the worst in terms of decrease in quality. Very excited for the rest of the trilogy!

Cant wait for CNK and Nitro Fueled rankings!

Sees him play as Pura...Yay Pura!

Babe wake up new Riko video just dropped

I low kea feal like crash bash lvls would make for fun ctr maps

baby wake up riko just uploaded

We have the same bottom 3 and same top 1 tracks!

Ah, Pete Holmes Badman reference, I see.

It's my favourite Kart racer, I dunno I just get a better sense of speed out of it. Although I do remember really enjoying Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed.

Hey man take your time

CTR is my favorite kart racer of all time. Scratch that. It's my favorite racing game of all time. The only track I don't like really like is Dragon Mines. Every other track is either good og great IMO. And that mini turbo mechanic is so good. Nitro Fueled just don't hit the same spot for me as the original. If only Brio and Tawna was available in the original as well.

15:04 I think I lost a lung by laughing

I like the asthetic of using Eaxh character fke their own home track. But I would argue that N trophy should be used in turbo track/slide coliseum

Was definitely just a case of throwing him somewhere lol

I would also argue that n trophy would never be caught dead in a sewer lol

I can’t think of something I strongly disagree with, thank you for putting respect on Coco Park. Man I love N Gin Labs. I just noticed a coincidence, aren’t those two acceleration characters?

I slightly prefer CTRNF as well as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but that’s just my opinion. I think it’s completely valid to like the original CTR over both. :3

CTRNF has fucked up physics if you have played a lot of the original. I hate the game. There's an online mod for the original.

Ps hope life has bin treating you well

17:49 I'll say more: hot air skyway is the rainbow road equivalent of CTR. That's why it's so good

I simply find the holes in your logic amusing. I’m sorry if my absurdly long 1.5 minute intro and finding humor in the critical misstep in watching a video 2x the length of your allotted time has deeply offended you, but in my defense you sounded incredibly annoyed that I dared to take 90 seconds to introduce the video. 😂

I always love when transitional piece have little fitting gags or memes to them Also in my heart I knew Polar Pass would be atop of the list, I love it to pieces but its also just baller on its own merits About the Pyramid spiral, if you really wanted and have the skills, you CAN power slide through it, Dragon Mines' is way too crammed for that
