Darkaiser | Crash Team Racing (Demos) - Debug Menus @Darkaiser | Uploaded October 2024 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
Hidden debugging features have recently been found in the demo versions of Crash Team Racing, thanks to Niko. Four menus were found in total, featuring a level selector, a game mode changer, character selector, and ghost data selector. These menus are not present in any retail or prototype build of the game.

Note that despite listing all tracks and arenas, attempting to access anything other than Papu's Pyramid, Dingo Canyon or Blizzard Bluff will freeze the game, as there are no files on the disc. As for the characters, you are also limited to Crash in most cases due to the game loading the drivers in a pack, rather than individually.

Also note that the game will take some time to load the maps when using these menus (~20 seconds), which has been edited in the video for obvious reasons.

Lastly, there is also leftover data from a partially removed menu that would give a row of 8 preset configurations, each with a fixed character and track. The race presets match those seen in footage of the E3 demo.
