You're about to enter a new and even more crazy world of racing using cheat codes — but before you start your engines, here's a warning to consider:
Any Grand Prix challenges, Adventure Rewards, Trophies and Achievements, High Scores and Wumpa Coins will not be earned as long as a Cheat is active. However, Character Skins that you have won via Race wins will remain available.
Also, your save file is safe — when you enter Adventure Mode or Online Mode, it will reset the game back to its original state (i.e. no cheats active).
How do you activate Cheats in Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled?
Cheat codes can be activated from the Main Menu — they can only be used in the different Local Arcade modes:
- Single Race
- Cup Race
- Battle (includes Limit Battle, Capture the Flag, Crystal Grab, Last Kart Driving and Steal the Beacon)
- Time Trial
- Relic Race
- CTR Challenge
- Crystal Challenge
Once you are on the main menu, simply hold down the two shoulder buttons:
- PS4: L1 + R1
- Xbox: LB + RB
- Switch: L + R
While holding these buttons, enter the different cheat codes as detailed below.
A sound will play to validate a correct entry, and a message will also appear to warn you that the cheat code has been enabled.
Unlock Penta Penguin
Unlike other codes, this one will not impact your progress when it comes to the restrictions listed above.
- PS4: Down, Right, Triangle, Down, Left, Triangle, Up
- Xbox: Down, Right, Y, Down, Left, Y, Up
- Switch: Down, Right, X, Down, Left, X, Up
Infinite Wumpa Fruit
The more Fruit you have, the higher your speed. Having Fruit locked at 99 means your Pickups are Juiced Up (boosted) and you will always be at your top speed.
- PS4, Xbox, Switch: Down, Right, Right, Down, Down
Infinite Turbos
This one is pretty self-explanatory, really!
- PS4: Triangle, X, Right, Left, Left, Triangle, X

- Switch: X, B, Right, Left, Left, X, B
Infinite Bowling Bombs
As above, this one does as it says on the tin.

Always Invisible
This one means all human players are permanently unseen — which also has the perk of making them untargetable by Tracking Missiles.
- PS4, Xbox, Switch: Up, Up, Down, Right, Right, Up
Unlock Super Turbo Pads
This one ramps up the power of the Turbo Pads, putting them on par with those on Turbo Track. Be careful, they may just make you misjudge your jumps!
- PS4: Triangle, Right, Right, O, Left
- Xbox: Y, Right, Right, B, Left
- Switch: X, Right, Right, A, Left
Infinite Super Engine
This one means you have the Super Engine Power-Up from Battle Mode ALL THE TIME. Simply tap Accelerate, and off you go — and when Juiced Up, holding Accelerate means you'll shoot off at rocket-like speeds!
- PS4: Up, Up, Left, Right, Triangle, Down, Right, Down
- Xbox: Up, Up, Left, Right, Y, Down, Right, Down
- Switch: Up, Up, Left, Right, X, Down, Right, Down
One-Lap Races
Simple — make all races a single lap shootout!
- PS4: Down, Up, Down, Down, Right, Up, Down, Right, Triangle, Down
- Xbox: Down, Up, Down, Down, Right, Up, Down, Right, Y, Down
- Switch: Down, Up, Down, Down, Right, Up, Down, Right, X, Down
Icy Tracks
This one makes all tracks seem like ice rinks, causing you to slip and slide all over the place!
- PS4: Down, Left, Right, Down, Right, O, Triangle, Down
- Xbox: Down, Left, Right, Down, Right, B, Y, Down
- Switch: Down, Left, Right, Down, Right, A, X, Down
How do you disable cheat codes?
All you have to do is launch a game in Online Mode or Adventure Mode, and the codes will be deactivated.
NOTE: Some combinations of codes will not work.
