And the sentence I posted, "The playable character roster of Nitro-Fueled includes every racer featured in Crash Team Racing" is supported by the cited source, which says "Featuring all the kooky characters from Crash Team Racing". 85.211.129.184 ( talk) 15:27, 7 June 2019 (UTC) Except that Wikipedia's rules say that information has to be verifiable. As of right now, he's not confirmed based on the rules of Wikipedia so we can't add him. Just wait until Penta is officially confirmed directly, and then we can add him.

Also articles kept saying Shao Kahn and Kintaro would be playable, but they weren't. You keep digging into this "everyone is playable" thing, but that really means little without actual evidence - for example, Mortal Kombat 2011 was stated to be based on the original Mortal Kombat trilogy, but Rain, one of the characters from that trilogy, was not playable until he was added as DLC. And not once did I say he was cut, what I said was he has not been confirmed. The fact of the matter is, Penta has not yet been confirmed as a playable character directly.

136.181.195.25 ( talk) 15:20, 7 June 2019 (UTC) That doesn't count and you know full well that doesn't count, as well as why it doesn't count. If they say everyone, that means everyone, including Penta.

Why would they go through the trouble of emphasizing him if he was cut? There's a difference between a marketing line on the box and a PR statement specifically saying "every character from these two games are playable". "Beginner characters have average speed, good ecceleration, and incredible turning abilities, like" "Intermediate characters have good speed, acceleration, and turning, such as" "Advanced characters have amazing speed, good acceleration, but limited turn and are for experts only! Examples include" And Penta's model IS different from the N-Sane Trilogy penguin (note the scarf), and he was barely visible originally, whereas he's front and center now. It's awkward enough when you say there are 26 characters when the current most up-to-date videos show a roster of 25. That's what we did before the Nitro Kart characters were confirmed. Just wait until he is officially confirmed and gameplay of him surfaces before adding him. Besides, Nitro Kart made the claim "Play as any character in the Crash universe", and we know for a fact that wasn't true. The model argument is poor because it's clearly a reused model from N-Sane Trilogy, he WAS in the cutscene originally and that doesn't automatically confirm him as playable. His name is clearly absent from the list and he has yet to show up in any gameplay videos.

Notice someone missing? That's right - Penta isn't there. You bring up that blog, but continue to read past that first paragraph and you'll see a list of characters - all the characters we know for a fact are in the game, as of the writing of that list. An official confirmation would be to call him out specifically. 136.181.195.25 ( talk) 15:05, 7 June 2019 (UTC) It is not an official confirmation of Penta's inclusion and you know full well that it isn't an official confirmation of Penta's inclusion. That's an official confirmation of Penta's inclusion, and to suggest otherwise would require a source beyond "he's not in this version of the character select screen". Setting aside the fact that they went to the trouble of creating a model for Penta and inserting him into a cutscene where he wasn't before, the Characters paragraph cites a blog post from Activision that says, to quote its very first sentence directly, "Featuring all the kooky characters from Crash Team Racing".

This honestly shouldn't even be a debate. Rebirth3k ( talk) 20:03, (UTC) Penta Penguin 136.181.195.25 ( talk) 13:46, (UTC) If it's that easy to find, how come you haven't found it? Please use the correct cover art, and not the outdated one. Rebirth3k ( talk) 12:28, (UTC) Then get a version without the giant rating, shrink it down to a size within wikipedia guidelines, and upload it as a new version of the same file, not as a totally new one. Is the official artwork now, it should be swapped unless updated without the region rating system 'G'. Official updated cover art for Crash Team Racing: Nitro-Fueled
