How to unlock N. Tropy in Crash Team Racing

To unlock N. Tropy as a playable character in Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled, you'll have to go into Time Trial mode, found under Local Arcade, and beat the top time on every single course which will unlock N. Tropy's ghost. Race again against N. Tropy's ghost and you'll unlock N. Oxide's ghost. Thankfully, you don't need to beat N. Oxide, but he's there if you fancy an even harder challenge.

Do this for every single original Crash Team Racing course - you'll know which you've done because a gold star will appear next to the course name in the list - and when you've beaten every single one of N. Tropy's times (good luck on Cortex Castle), you'll unlock the master of time himself.

If you're wondering who Doctor Nefarious Tropy is, he's an old friend of Uka-Uka, the evil version of Aku-Aku. He's pals with N. Trance, another unlockable character in Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled through the Pit Stop, and his goal is to take over the world. Friendly chap, right?

Give me a game and I will write every "how to" I possibly can or die trying. When I'm not knee-deep in a game to write guides on, you'll find me hurtling round the track in F1, flinging balls on my phone in Pokemon Go, pretending to know what I'm doing in Football Manager, or clicking on heads in Valorant.
