*fails the shortcut on this stage and goes from being first to last despite being able to win perfectly without using the shortcut* good times

I always thought this was pretty mellow for Cortex but it's actually pretty fast tempo

Was this the same sample that ended up in game? I can't tell if the on-console version is strings or super lo-fi.

Sounds a million times better than the remastered version.

the time trials for this track is a bloody nightmare, thanks to certain box placements

CTR - Crash Team Racing OST (Pre-Console)

Wall Street Worries is a cinematic orchestral exploration of high-stakes capitalism, trading psychology, and the emotional undercurrent of financial warfare. Projecting emotions from haunting compositions, this suite traverses marimba-infused ambition, melancholic piano reflections, and grand orchestral climaxes. Each track is a chapter in the volatile symphony of market timing, missed signals, and the echo of every decision made too late—or too soon. From intimate piano notes to soaring brass declarations, the album embodies the mental tension behind chasing profits in a world ruled by volatility and value.
