Die-O-Rama

thumb|right|300px|All of the Die-O-Ramasthumb|right|300px|All of the NTSC-J Die-O-RamasDie-O-Ramas are clips in Crash Tag Team Racing featuring Crash getting killed in various ways due to the dangerous MotorWorld theme park. While some are caused by Crash's own foolishness, others are accidental. They are not to be confused with the gags that appear in this game as while some gags do result in death, Crash is not the one being killed.
