The Crash Bandicoot Racing Taikenban (クラッシュ・バンディクー レーシング 体験版, Crash Bandicoot Racing Trial Version) is a demo version of Crash Team Racing, available at Japanese retail stores in 1999. The entire game can be played from start to finish, but you cannot save any progress. It is dated October 6th, 1999, two weeks before the final European release version, and over a month before the final Japanese release version.
General Differences#
- The startup screen contains a warning: 警告 本ソフトは開発中の為、不具合が発生してもソフトの交換等は行いません (Warning: This software is under development and will not be replaced even if a problem occurs.)
- Since saving is disabled, it is impossible to insert your name when creating an Adventure profile or playing a time trial. The game automatically skips the Enter Name screen, so the character's name will be used instead. Options for saving/loading profiles, ghosts and cup progress are also disabled.
- You can skip the Naughty Dog box screen. This feature was disabled in the final Japanese version.
- The main menu theme is much shorter.
- The Adventure and Time Trial options were moved to the bottom. This menu order can also be seen in pre-release footage of the Japanese version.
- The Adventure character select menu does not use the international main theme of the game.
- It also does not fade out when starting Adventure mode.
- The High Score menu is disabled.
- The turbo counter is enabled by default only in Time Trial mode. It does not show up in Arcade and Adventure modes.
- The end of a race does not display the highest number of consecutive turbos achieved.
- In Adventure mode, attempting to save the game will show the following message under the player's profile: たいけんばん なので ロ-ドとセ-ブは できません (This is a demo version, loading and saving is disabled).
- Characters epilogues are not localized into Japanese yet.
- The Scrapbook is still the same as the North American version.
- The Scrapbook option will not unlock in the menu via a cheat code or after beating all of Oxide's ghosts.
- Penta Penguin's kart does not make any engine sounds in this build, meaning the developers had recently maxed out his kart stats, but had not yet given him the kart sound that the Balanced characters use.
- Fake Crash's model in Time Trial mode erroneously has his eyebrow textures covering his eyes. This mistake is still present in the European version, but got fixed in the final Japanese release.
