CTR: Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled (Remaster / Remake) contains 12 Crystal Challenges. Completing all Crystal Challenges unlocks the “Oh, Shiny!” trophy or achievement.
The Crystal Challenges all have the same objective. There are 20 Crystals hidden around an arena and you must collect them all within a time limit. The key to success is to study the locations of the Crystals, then find a good route that connects between them quickly. The video guides below will show you a fast route for collecting them all.
4 of 12 Crystal Challenges are part of Adventure Mode (Skull Rock, Rampage Ruins, Rocky Road, Nitro Court). If you already did them during Adventure Mode you don’t have to do them again in Local Arcade. The remaining 8 Challenges can only be played from the Local Arcade. You can do them all on easy difficulty for the purpose of the trophy. Because there’s no way in Arcade to track what you’ve done it’s recommended to do them in one sitting one after the other.
They are all unlocked from the start. None of them are missable. You can repeat them as often as you like.

Is there maybe a glitch with this one? 100% on normal mode. Ran through on Hard. I’ve gone through the Crystal list at least once. Does Penta Penquin cheat code have anything to do with this?
Grüll Dániel says
I can’t get all the crystals in Adventure Mode in every arena (I still need Rampage Ruins, Rocky Road, Nitro Court). They can help?
