Here is a Crash Team Racing video showing the character Nitro Oxide playable only with an Action Replay/GameShark code. This code replace the graphics of the normal character you are playing in adventure mode with Nitro Oxide's graphics because when a jump is performed with Oxide, we can see the shadow of a regular kart. Also, with this code, the game will crash at several places in the game such as when the character selection screen appears (in all game modes) and also when you leave the castle square in adventure mode.
I play with the NTSC [U] version of the game and the code I used is 80086E84 000F. You must save your game in the castle area, otherwise the game will crash.

Voici une vidéo présentant le personnage Nitro Oxide du jeu Crash Team Racing pour Playstation jouable uniquement avec un code Action Replay/GameShark. Ce code permet de remplacer l'image du personnage avec lequel vous jouez en mode aventure par l'image de Nitro Oxide parce que lorsque l'on effectue un saut avec Oxide, l'on voit l'ombre d'un kart ordinaire. Aussi ce code fait planter le jeu à plusieurs endroits dans le jeu tel que lorsque l'écran de sélection du personnage apparaît (dans tous les modes de jeu) et aussi lorsque vous quittez la place du château en mode aventure.
Je joues avec la version NTSC [U] du jeu et le code que j'ai utilisé pour l'essayer est 80086E84 000F. Vous devez avoir sauvegardé votre partie dans la place du château, sinon le jeu va planter.

Note : The fist soundtrack you hear in this video, 00:10 - 03:12 is the final product. Other soundtracks are different versions of Hot Air Skyway, including original console prototype version and extracted RAW MIDI.
After ten years on this channel, here is a new Crash Bandicoot related video!
Hot Air Skyway from CTR, along with Rock it & Pack Attack from Crash Bandicoot 2 and Knight Time from Crash Bandicoot : The Wrath of Cortex are ones of my favorites soundtracks from the serie. Hot Air Skyway being my first favorite Crash Bandicoot sountrack I fell in love with mostly 20 years ago when I played CTR for the first time.
Recently, I found out that theres an extended version of Hot Air Skyway, called Pre-console that has been released by composer Josh Mancell. It includes an additional 28 seconds segment that consists mostly of the fist loop plus an instrument called the Cortexs Trumpet. Pre-Console music consists of music before instruments get stripped down, in this case, for the Playstation 1. CTR pre-console music sound great, but I always prefered original console music.
More recently, I joined the CTR-Tools (software used in this video) official Discord server and someone there told me that the original full length Hot Air Skyway is still here in one of some leaked CTR prototype builds. Okay, so I decided to take a look at this prototype build and I found out that the prototype Hot Air Skyway console version doesnt sounds like the release build console one. Some improvements have been made in the release version, especially in the first loop (compare 03:29 with 05:02). Also, the ripped version quality I found on The Cutting Room Floor is quite lower than what we can find in other video game music websites for the release version.
So, nothing really complicated for this video, we are trying to assemble the cut part of the prototype version while keeping the improvements made to the release one.
List of Hot Air Skyway versions you will hear in this video :
[ 00:10 - 03:12 ] Prototype & Release Mix
[ 03:12 - 04:44 ] Prototype
[ 04:45 - 05:50 ] Release
[ 05:50 - 07:22 ] Prototype, MIDI
[ 07:23 - 07:34 ] Cortexs Trumpet, cut part.")
