A draconic streak of purple could be joining the race tracks of the upcoming Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled game.

As part of a previous tip-off from one of GoNintendo’s sources, Spyro will apparently join the racing title as a playable racer! Sadly, the tip did not mention further details about how to obtain him as a racer – only that he makes an appearance in-game.

This addition would not be completely unprecedented. After all, Spyro was already an unlockable character in the Game Boy Advance version of Crash Nitro Kart (2003) – so his inclusion would just be further icing on the cake!

As usual, we would like to remind all NintendoSoup readers to take such unconfirmed information with a grain of salt. We’ll report back if this rumor comes true during next week’s E3 announcements!
