Naughty Dog began production on ''Crash Team Racing'' after the completion of ''[[Crash Bandicoot 2: Cortex Strikes Back]]'' (1997). The [[game engine]] for ''Crash Team Racing'' was created at the same time ''[[Crash Bandicoot 3: Warped]]'' (1998) was produced.<ref name="JRInterview">{{cite web |author=Douglass Perry |title=IGN: Interview with Jason Rubin |url=http://psx.ign.com/articles/071/071342p1.html |publisher=IGN |date=October 19, 1999 |accessdate=September 30, 2009 |authorlink=Doug Perry}}</ref> The characters of the game were [[design]]ed by Charles Zembillas and Joe Pearson, who designed the characters of the last three games of the ''Crash Bandicoot'' series.<ref name="Manual26"/> Nitros Oxide was originally a mad scientist who enjoys speed, and plotted to speed up the entire world until the end of time.<ref>{{cite web |author=Sam Kennedy |title=First Look at ''Crash Team Racing''&nbsp;– PlayStation News at GameSpot |url=http://www.gamespot.com/ps/driving/crashteamracing/news.html?sid=2451260&om_act=convert&om_clk=gsupdates&tag=updates;title;4 |publisher=[[GameSpot]] |date=May 6, 1999 |accessdate=September 30, 2009 |quote=Here's how the story goes...

Obsessed with speed, Nitrous claims that "fast just isn't fast enough," and plots a strategy to tear down the little island paradise in which Crash and his friends live. Nitrous cooks up an experiment to "speed up" the entire world until the end of time, a rather edgy theory that physicists would certainly counter. In a classic case of videogame (read: cartoon) logic, Crash and his friends must race to save the planet from a premature death. |authorlink=Doug Perry}}</ref> However, Zembillias and Pearson wanted the character to be an extrterrestrial, because there were already human, animal and machine bosses in the past.<ref>{{cite web |author= |title=<nowiki>[</nowiki> Crash Gallery&nbsp;– Character Sketches&nbsp;– ''Crash Team Racing'' <nowiki>]</nowiki> |url=http://www.naughtydog.com/crash/crash/ctr-character.htm |archiveurl=http://web.archive.org/web/20080822123401/www.naughtydog.com/crash/crash/ctr-character.htm |work= |publisher=Naughty Dog |archivedate=August 22, 2008 |accessdate=October 1, 2009}}</ref>
