(''chuckles'') Well I, Nitros Oxide, am the fastest racer in the galaxy! I travel the stars looking for creatures to test my skill. It's a little game I call "Survival of the Fastest". Here's the way we play. I challenge the best driver of your worlds will race for the planet. If your driver wins, I'll leave your miserable little rock alone. But if I win, I'll turn your entire globe into a concrete parking lot and make you my slaves. (''laughs'') Get ready to race for the fate of your planet.}}</ref> In response, the player character gathers all four Boss Keys needed to enter Oxide's [[spaceship]] and races him in a one-on-one match. Upon Oxide's [[wikt:defeat|defeat]] by the player character, he leaves Earth, but promises that he will return when all of the Time Relics have been gathered. Oxide faces the player again after all the Time Relics are gathered.<ref>{{cite video game |title=Crash Team Racing |developer=Naughty Dog |publisher=Sony Computer Entertainment America |date=September 30, 1999 |platform=PlayStation |level=Ending cutscene |quote='''Nitros Oxide:''' Aaaaargh! I can't believe you beat me! I never lose! How embarrassing. I'll be the laughingstock of all Gasmoxia. Fine! Your miserable planet stays gushy and green. At least you still haven't gathered all my Time Relics. Until you've collected all of those and raced me again, you'll never be able to claim you are the fastest. This won't be the last time you'll face Nitros Oxide. We ''will'' meet again!}}</ref> After losing once more, Oxide keeps his word and leaves Earth forever.<ref>{{cite video game |title=Crash Team Racing |developer=Naughty Dog |publisher=Sony Computer Entertainment America |date=September 30, 1999 |platform=PlayStation |level=Ending cutscene |quote='''Nitros Oxide:''' Aaaaargh! You beat me once again! Now I have to go back to the planet Gasmoxia a complete loser! I must be getting slow in my old age. That's it! I'm finished racing in these mushy backward worlds. Keep your miserable planet! I'm outta here for good!}}</ref> An [[wikt:epilogue|epilogue]] is played during the end credits. It explains what the characters of the game did after the events of the story. Nitros Oxide himself returns to his home planet of Gasmoxia and hides from society. After years of [[therapy]] to [[wikt:cope|cope]] with his loss, he tries to do unicycle-racing, only to get into a bad [[accident]].<ref>{{cite video game |title=Crash Team Racing |developer=Naughty Dog |publisher=Sony Computer Entertainment America |date=September 30, 1999 |platform=PlayStation |level=Epilogue |quote='''Text:''' Nitros Oxide went back to the planet Gasmoxia a broken alien. After years of therapy, Oxide emerged from seclusion to begin racing again. Unfortunately, the unicycle was a poor vehicle choice, and his resulting accident was too gruesome to detail here}}</ref>
