2.History
This is just how I became pro at this at this game which is not really that hard just requires more practice than anything.
It was about June when I signed up for a website called Neoseeker where i somehow found Spyro forums. I became obsessed
with Spyro and posted on Spyro forums which lead to Crash forums. One day I saw Crash Tag Team Racing and Spyro Shadow Legacy
on their way and I wanted them more than anything. I finally got them both and completed CTTR with about 50% by November 10th
and I was playing CTR and saw the competition so I played Fast Lap on CTTR and got times like 47 on Tiki Turbo. I thought
I was pretty good because of some of my times. Now sometime in July/August 2006 I met POKEMON BALL, a very good CTTR gamer
who I competed with and eventually he beat all my times. I got permanently banned off Neoseeker so for about 3 weeks I practiced
CTTR and got very good at it. My brother signed up for Neoseeker and told PB about my times. He still beat me but I caught
up and eventually became pro at it.
3a.Basic Techniques
The aim of the game is your techniques. Here is a list of basic techniques and how to use them, when to use them and
why to use them.
1.10 Point Powerslide
How to use: Press[] or L1

4. Turbo Wing Boost
How to use: In Fast Lap get 100 Boost Points then press B to use

5.Unclash max speed boost(race only)
How to use: Unclash with someone but you press /\ before they unclash with you
Where to use: Anywhere
Why to use: To go faster
When to use: Races only
3b.Advanved Techniques
1.Downhill Ghost
How to use: Go down a hill and don't powerslide
Where to use: On hills bigger is faster.
Why to use: Because of the gravity you go faster downhill but don't powerslide because you'll lose speed. When you come
off if you don't crash or powerslide for some time you can keep this high speed but it will go soon it helps bypass top speed.
When to use: When there's a hill it happens automatically but you have to try and keep it.
2.Uphill Ghost
How to use: Get a boost when going uphill
Where to use: On uphills
Why to use: You lose speed on uphills because of gravity with a boost going up it you should keep more speed going up
it
When to use: Best to save your boosts for uphills if your near one.
3.Air Ghost
How to use: Boost in midair(after a turbo pad)
Where to use: In midair after turbo pads)
Why to use: You get max speed from turbo pads but you'll lose it in midair, boost to keep max speed.
When to use: In midair
4.Speed Ghost
How to use: Just happens at some places
Where to use: In shortcuts it usually happens or at some places
Why to use: It just bypass's top speed
When to use: Not sure
5.Long-live Powerslide
How to use: Pretty hard but when you do a 10 or 20 point powerslide which spawns turbo wings quick boost and hold your
powerslide.
Where to use: Anywhere
Why to use: You'll still get boost points as long as your still on the original powerslide which spawned turbo wings
so you have more time with them.
When to use: When you get a boost from a 10 or 20 point powerslide.
6.Reverse Slide
How to use: Hold a 10 or 20 point powerslide around one corner and force in the opposite direction tapping L1 or [].
Where to use: When there's a corner leading to another one
Why to use: So you hold longer powerslides to get boosts quicker
When to use: Whenever you want as long you use it at the right place
4.Shortcuts
There are normal shortcuts on almost every course but there are 1 or 2 secret shortcuts which are very advanced. Here
is what I've discovered so far:
Tiki Turbo
1.When you come out of the forest ginnel go down and down until you see sewer entrance. Jump off the hill into the shortcut.
This gives you speedghost.
Alternate 1.Hold a turbo boost up the hill into this shortcut and glide across the ceiling to go much faster and gain
speed ghost.
