Note:
I do not own the Crash Bandicoot series. They are owned by Sony Computer Entertainment, Universal Interactive Studios, Konami, Vivendi Universal Games, Sierra Entertainment and Activision. I'm just a fan of the series.
All the playable Crash Bandicoot characters that appear in the console versions of Crash Team Racing and Crash Nitro Kart , and their player stats.

Notes: The alignments of the characters that are protected by Aku Aku are considered to be good and the alignments of the ones that are protected by Uka Uka are considered to be evil.
There is some debate as to whether or not Nitros Oxide is protected by a mask, since he is officially unplayable.
Papu Papu is officially a neutral character but he is considered an evil character in this game, because he is protected by Uka Uka.
Fake Crash is overall a neutral character but he is considered an evil character in this game, because he is protected by Uka Uka. Note that his alignment differs in some games.
Penta Penguin is officially a neutral character but he is considered a good character in this game, because he is protected by Aku Aku.

Notes: Fake Crash is overall a neutral character but he is considered a good character in this game, because he is protected by Aku Aku. Note that his alignment differs in some games.
Polar and Pura are officially good characters but they have been brainwashed into racing for an evil team.
Whether Polar and Pura should be considered neutral or evil characters in this game remains debatable, as their personalities don't seem to have changed much, aside from being more insane and psychotic, hence their respective dog and cat noises.
Also neither of them show any hostility towards the good characters - although Pura tends to make hissing sounds during races - which indicates that they have become neutral, rather than evil in this game.
Some information regarding the team-mates in "Crash Nitro Kart" team race mode. Some of you may have noticed that some characters tend to spawn as team-mates more than others. Here is an example of what I've experienced with the commonness of the spawned team-mates in team race mode - through personal game-play and watching other players on YouTube.
I know that most people don't know or care about the commonness of the spawned team-mates in team race mode - but if anyone has noticed this, and has encountered a different pattern (e.g. N. Cortex might be paired up with Tiny more than N. Gin) that otherwise contradicts mine, feel free to leave a message in the article comments below.
