[edit] NTSC Cover

You think it would be better if we had the NTSC cover of CTR instead of the PAL cover? I feel that should be in the, you know, other-language parts of WikiPedia. Cat's Tuxedo 15:42, 14 July 2006 (UTC)

Yes but only for the sake of consistency, most video game articles use the NTSC covers. That said, don't forget that it's not just the U.S that speaks English, there are at least 5 countrys that speak English and use PAL systems. -- Doc711 23:53, 14 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Best in the Crash Bandicoot Series

[edit] Character Tracks

In the track listing on this page, most of the tracks have a character listed next to them. I was just wondering, since I've never encountered one, does racing as a character on "their track" have a special advantage? Does each character having their own track affect the game in any way? If so, then the effect should be added to the article to make it clearer. If not, then the idea of character tracks should be removed from the article, as it's purely a fan thing with no encyclopedic merit.

Of course it doesn't. And it's obvious why each character has their own track. Play Team Racing and you'll see. It's a cosmetic thing, and CERTAINLY isn't fan based. CBFan 19:07, 9 January 2007 (UTC) CBFan.

• It is a fan-based thing. Each character does not have their own track, as it has no actual effect on the game, and I don't think it's necessary to include that N. Gin Labs is named after N. Gin, for example. That's blindingly obvious.

• You are disgracing Naughty Dog. You're not a Crash fan and never can be.

• I think linking the character's pages within the track name is a good solution, as it recognises the track is named after that character, but doesn't make any assumptions about it being the 'character's track'.

• You are the only one making assumtions, and you're the only one who has EVER been making assumtions. It's OBVIOUS that, in all those cases, that those tracks belong to a character. Why else do they have those names?

• What I'm saying is, there's no in-game effect of the character "owning a track". They're named after the characters, sure, but it doesn't improve their stats if used on "their" track, or have any special effect. It's not a tangible feature of the game.

• That's not the point and you know it isn't. It's an in-game feature that Naughty Dog did.

• But there is no in-game feature of it. I think we should simply acknowledge the tracks are named after the characters, because that's all it is.

• Yes there is. In Adventure Mode, a character ALWAYS starts in first place on his/her personal track. Stop vandalising threads constantly because you don't agree with them.

• No they don't. I made a point to check for that when last I played CTR, and they don't. Ona side note, stop calling everything you disagree with vandalism.

• Excuse me, but I've played Team Racing virtually NON-STOP for the last two days. Every time I played Crash Cove in Adventure mode, Crash was in first position at the starting line (except when I was Crash, of course). Every time I played Coco Park, Coco was in first position. Every time I played Tiger Temple, Dingo Canyon, Polar Pass, Tiny Arena, N Gin Labs, Cortex Castle...and each time, their representative character was in first position at the starting line. It's obvious, therefore, that you haven't played Team Racing at all. Also, you have some cheek to tell me not to do the very same thing you've been doing since you first came here. You vandalised the Papu Papu page, you vandalised the Dingodile page, you're STILL vandalising the Wrath Of Cortex page and now you're vandalising this page. For heaven's sakes, cut it out.

• I've been playing it all week, and only on one occasion did the respective character start in first place. It is not a feature of the game. I did not vandalise any page. Stop calling everything you disagree with vandalism.

• You're the one doing it. You're the ONLY one who has EVER done that. Go back and worship Mario. You've been warned countless times now, and BOTH of us have gotten into trouble because you REFUSE to accept the truth.

• Mario? What the hell are you talking about? I have never called one of youe edits vandalism, except the ones you made no explanation for. You've also been warned countless times.

• I've made many an explanation, but you simply delete them. Also, the only reason I've been warned is due to your silly actions, being that you don't know when to accept the truth.

• I';ve never deleted anything you've said, which is more than can be said for you. I could say I've only been warned because of you. You don't know when to accept that something does not belong in an encylopedia.

• No, that's what you've been doing. It's trivia, it's worth noting. You're the only one saying "I haven't seen it, therefore it isn't true and isn't verifiable". You've flammed the Papu Papu, Dingodile and Wrath Of Cortex pages ALL with the same silly routine.

• Actually, I've only contested verifiability on the WoC page. It's worth noting that the tracks are named after the character, which is why I link them within the track name, but calling them the "character's track" implies some sort of feature within the game, of which there is none.

• No it doesn't. Have you NEVER played a racing game before? It's basic trivia, get over it. Besides, this was the way it was originally written, meaning you are the only one rebelling against it. OK, so they also tried giving Fake Crash, N Tropy and Penta a track of their own, of which they don't have an official one. But this is different. Besides, like I said before, in Adventure Mode, the character starts in first position on his/her home track, unless you are using that character. Believe me, I've been through it at least three times. We keep the article as it ORIGINALLY was, we suss out the argument, THEN we can edit it. At the moment, you're only vandalising by posting your opinions before the argument is over.

• Take your little slap-fight somewhere else, gentlemen. You've both been reported for 3RR. HalfShadow 23:37, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Epilogues

Should we maybe merge these with the character sections, to both save space and round out the character descriptions a little?

[edit] Main Series

I heard this game is part of the Crash Bandicoot main series from Crash O Pedia (The others are Crash Bandicoot, Cortex Strikes Back, Warped, Wrath of Cortex, and Twinsanity). is this true? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 63.3.2.129 (talk) 23:37, 19 March 2007 (UTC).
