A guide to all of Cortex's skins in Crash Team Racing
Want to know about Cortex’s skins in Crash Team Racing? The main villain has a range of unlockable items, including several skins to change his appearance. Neo Periwinkle Cortex can be a clown or a pirate, or anything in between.
Cortex’s main design in Crash Team Racing is a nod to his past appearances, with a modern yet cartoonish appearance. He still retains his signature eyebrows though, even in his blocky skin. The evil doctor has several skins to choose from, each with their own unique headwear, backpack, shadow icon, and special effects. These are shared by all characters you use Cortex with, so you can run around in a toy car even with Cortex the Clown.
