Crash Bandicoot Bakusou Nitro Cart on GBA is basically what happens when you take Crash, throw him in a kart, and crank the chaos up to 11. The tracks are wild—you’ll be boosting through jungles one second and dodging lava traps the next. And yeah, the controls feel a little slidey at first, but once you get the hang of drifting around tight corners, it’s stupidly satisfying.

Power-ups are everywhere, and some of them are just mean (looking at you, homing missiles). The roster’s packed with Crash’s usual crew—Cortex, Coco, even the weirdly fast Komodo Bros.—and they all handle differently. I stuck with Crash for most races, but Cortex’s heavier kart actually plows through obstacles better than you’d think.

Multiplayer’s where it really shines, though. Nothing like watching your friend eat a TNT crate because they missed a jump. It’s not Mario Kart, but if you’re into Crash’s brand of nonsense, this one’s a solid time-killer for your GBA.
