Nice thread. But, why noone mentions Mickey's speedway USA. Well, If we go back in 2000, I would probably choose Crash Team Racing, because it introduced some enjoyable mechanics, like the triple drift boost, the boost while landing and of course the feeling of the jump, which clearly MK adopted very lately in the series. I also can say that the whole courses in CTR where built that way to help you stucking boosts. The only thing that I didint like in CTR is that it felt to me a very easy and not really challenging game after you get used to it. MK controls were clearly more difficult and that's something I really liked. It was like MK was for true players but CTRwas somehow for "casuals".

But, nowadays I can say that MK has made a huge improvements in whole levels. Courses, weapons, mechanics, character variet and stands very well in the position of the best kart game.

Of course, I play both and I really enjoy them. One more thing I would like to add is the battle mode. It was very dissapointing to have 3 balloons and few weapons, while CTR had 3 different modes and you could choose how many hits you could do, reaching even 15 and the weapons you liked. In this sector, yeah CTR was clearly the winner back in the day.
