Check Out This Awesome Footage From The Canceled Sequel To ‘Crash Team Racing’

The crew over at Crash Mania silently released a video of footage from a reportedly canceled (in 2010) sequel to the PS1 kart racing game Crash Team Racing. What they have released shows off huge graphical increase, new characters and a slew of new karts to bomb around in. Check out the footage they’ve released below.

The game was slated to be released on Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii. The cancellation of a new Crash Bandicoot platformer, which was originally planned to be released along side the kart racer,  was the inevitable downfall for this racing game.

Some of the noted new features were the inclusion of a series of kart mods:

Standard Tires: Regular tires with no special effects.

Crab Tires: At home on the asphalt or sand. These tires loose(sic) no traction on beaches and dunes.

Octopus Tires: The suctions(sic) cups on these tires allow for driving on smooth VERTICAL surfaces.
Blowfish Tires: These tires can be used to race on water.
Standard Engine: A regular engine with no special effects.
Pig Engine: An engine that belches out flames to boost your speed.
Electric Eel Engine: Surging with electricity this engine shocks enemies on contact.
Frog Engine: Hop to new heights with this engines(sic) powerful double jump feature.
Standard Bumper: A regular bumper with no special effects.
Crab Bumper: This greedy kart bumper snatches power-ups and wumpa fruit from other drivers.
Warthog Bumper: This heavy weight bumper easily rams aside all other karts with its tusks. (Also good for breaking rocks and other obstacles.)
Armadillo Bumper: This bumper rolls into a ball that’s immune to attacks when the brakes are applied.
