There’s only a handful of video game characters as identifiable and recognizable as Crash Bandicoot. Considering that Crash was the reply to Sonic the Hedgehog, and Mario, it’s always given immense competition to both games. However, since the creation of Nitro Kart and Mario Kart, players, critics and fans have always loved to debate which game is better and when Crash Team Racing came out to rival Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the debate was ignited once again.
It’s one of our most favorite topics to discuss and we haven’t officially written about it on the blog yet, so we thought we’d put arguments for both games here and leave it up to you guys to give an ultimate verdict about which game takes the cake, once and for all. Objectively speaking, both have some great characters with Mario getting a little more popular in recent years thanks to a variety of games to its credit as well as the upcoming movie which is going to be full of Hollywood voice actors. It’s definitely going to open up the Mario franchise to many new fans and people who didn’t know of it before. Crash loses out on some of that airtime because its characters aren’t that popular apart from Crash itself.
Both games are incredible, the tracks are amazing, the soundtrack is awesome and the controls and features are similar. However, many prefer the core gaming element of Crash as opposed to Mario Kart. On the other hand, many prefer Mario Kart and its online player mode as being miles ahead and much better than Crash’s version and its recent DLC has been said to prolong its life, whereas Crash Team Racing is starting to lose clout as it came out as a stand-alone game in 2019.
So, where do you stand on this great debate? Which do you like better and why? We’d love to hear your opinions and finally put to bed one of the most talked about video game comparison in the history of both games.
