The character model for Crash Bandicoot in the game.
Status: Lost
Crash Tag Team Racing (by Radical Entertainment and produced by Sierra) was a racer that was released on October 19th, 2005, on PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Xbox and GameCube. A Nintendo DS port was also going to be released by Sensory Sweep and was to be released with the other versions. Unfortunately, it was soon cancelled.
Development/Availability
The DS port of Crash Tag Team Racing was not going to be a direct port like on other versions that were to be released (due to the technical limitations of the system), rather it would be as similar as possible to the other releases. For example, Sensory Sweep gave the character artists at Radical Entertainment character models from the console versions and entrusted them with scaling down the models so that they could fit in the DS version. The character artists instead made entirely new character models (the character models that Sensory Sweep gave them, when toned down, made them lack detail and look boxy). The race tracks and the layouts of the tracks were to be based on the other versions of Crash Tag Team Racing as well.
The port was in development for 9-10 months before it was cancelled. The game was only 1 to 2 months away from being completed. It was stated that the reason for the cancellation was that another racer, Mario Kart DS was going to be released during the same period of time that Crash Tag Team Racing would be on the market and Sierra thought the game wasn't going to sell well. There are also rumors that the game was cancelled because of management issues between Sensory Sweep and Sierra Entertainment.[1][2]
Even though that the DS port was the first port announced for Crash Tag Team Racing (At that time, it was still being called Crash Clash Racing), no images were ever released until late 2014, when an anonymous Crash Bandicoot fan released some images of character models, hubs, and tracks that were present inside the DS version. As of the time of this writing, these are the only images of this port online.
