Story
Lightning McQueen is dreaming of a street race in Radiator Springs while sleeping in the Cozy Cone Motel, when he is woken by Sally Carrera, who informs him that Doc Hudson is waiting for him at Willy's Butte, while a group of visitors have arrived in Radiator Springs, who are interested in racing McQueen. Additionally, Mack lectures McQueen about getting practice for the upcoming Piston Cup season.
At the Willy's Butte oval, Doc teaches Lightning how to powerslide, and challenges him to a race immediately afterwards. Following their competition, the two spot Chick Hicks watching them from a distance, and he quickly drives away after capturing their attention, making McQueen and Doc suspicious. The first Piston Cup race of the season takes place at the Palm Mile Speedway, where Lightning and Chick's rivalry is more intense than ever before, due to the retirement of former champion Strip Weathers.
When Lightning returns to Radiator Springs, Fillmore provides him with a new organic fuel, which gives Lightning the ability to boost. After McQueen participates in off-road training with Sarge, he and Mack travel to the Motor Speedway of the South, where Lightning achieves another victory.
McQueen arrives back in town at night, where Mater teaches him how to drive backwards, and Sheriff challenges him to a race that introduces him to Ornament Valley, the area east of Radiator Springs. When Lightning travels there some time later, he finds Mater practicing for the Rustbucket Race-O-Rama, a derby race between Mater and his cousins. Mater wins the race and receives a boost tank as a prize, which he gives to Lightning.Soon after, Lightning meets a group of race cars from Queens, New York, who compete in practice races with McQueen, before he heads off to the Sun Valley International Raceway to acquire his next Piston Cup victory.
With the rivalry between McQueen and Hicks growing stronger, McQueen competes in more races with his friends, including a drive up to the Wheel Well Motel in Tailfin Pass with Sally. From this point forward, Lightning explores Tailfin Pass more, but runs into trouble when he finds the Delinquent Road Hazards blocking the road from him. The matter is settled with a race through the Abandoned Mine, and Lightning receives a third and final boost tank as a reward. However, when the four troublemakers flee the scene, they inform McQueen that their conflict has not been fully settled yet. Lightning also competes in more road races, including in a monster truck derby race against Count Spatula and his friends in the Rustbucket Stadium.

When Lightning meets up with the Queens gang again at the Ornament Valley Gas Station, he finds Chick alongside them, and after a road race, Lightning playfully teases him. When McQueen starts to leave and tells Chick he will see him at the stadium, Hicks angrily drives away, making a comment about how McQueen will only see him if he makes it to the speedway, leaving Lightning suspicious.
Shortly following this, the Delinquent Road Hazards work together to rob Mack of Lightning's gear while he is driving along Interstate 40. When Mack reports the incident to Sheriff, McQueen strikes back by driving out to the Interstate and stealing his possessions back. The four cars are brought to the Radiator Springs Municipal Impound, where they claim they were hired by Hicks.
At the Smasherville International Speedway, McQueen confronts Hicks on the incident, who denies any involvement. After defeating Chick, Lightning challenges him to a four-race competition, with road races in Radiator Springs, Tailfin Pass, and Ornament Valley, and the final round being the final race of the Piston Cup season. Chick accepts, and the event is covered by Darrell Cartrip and the Racing Sports Network.
Lightning defeats Chick in all three rounds, and manages to achieve another victory during the closing race at the Los Angeles International Speedway. McQueen wins the Piston Cup trophy, which he puts on the windowsill of Doc's Clinic, alongside the Fabulous Hudson Hornet's three trophies.
Gameplay
Story Mode
There are five chapters of the story, each one containing 5-8 events. There are three types of events - road races, minigames, and Piston Cup races. In road races, players proceed through short races, each race open to a small number of contestants. To complete minigames, players must complete a unique objective, such as collecting a given number of an object. There are five Piston Cup races, one at the end of each chapter. These races feature twelve laps, and a larger number of opponents. Halfway into the race, players must take a 'pit stop' and a play a minigame in order to move on in the race. Completing and winning events will reward the player with trophies, and there are a total of 250 to collect within the campaign.
In between events, players can drive around a hub world that consists of three different areas; Radiator Springs, Ornament Valley, and Tailfin Pass. Players can explore the worlds while searching for Bonus Points and driving past tourists and many of Lightning McQueen's friends. New areas are unlocked as the story progresses. Unlocking criteria is as follows:
Area | Unlocking criteria |
---|---|
Ornament Valley | Earn first place in Sheriff's Chase |
Tailfin Pass | Earn first place in Sally's Wheel Well Sprint |
Abandoned Mine and connecting roads | Earn third place or higher in Delinquent Road Hazards |
While players take control of Lightning in the hub world and throughout the majority of the game's events, players occasionally drive as other characters, such as Tow Mater, Sally Carrera, and Sheriff. Additionally, Lightning's appearance can be changed at Ramone's House of Body Art. While a small selection of paint schemes are available from the start of the game, the remainder must be unlocked by purchasing them with Bonus Points in the Bonus Content menu section.
Arcade
Arcade mode allows players to use any character they have unlocked so far on any event unlocked through story mode. Unlike story mode, each race's opponents are random. In the Xbox 360 and Wii versions of the game, there are three additional events only playable in arcade mode: Ghosting Mater (Cars: The Video Game), Mater's Speedy Circuit, and Mater's Countdown Cleanup.VS
Two players can play together with any characters they have unlocked so far, but the number of playable events are limited. There is also the Pit Stop Challenge minigame from story mode, which is only playable in VS mode. The frame rate will drop while playing this mode.

Events
Events serve as the main feature of the gameplay, and are categorized into three different groups: road races, minigames, and Piston Cup races. Road races let the player drive on tracks in Radiator Springs, Tailfin Pass and Ornament Valley, minigames allow the players to play fun games with specific objectives, and Piston Cup races are longer than road races, but with simpler tracks.
Road Races
Minigames
Piston Cup Races
Xbox 360 and Wii Bonus Games
These minigames are only available on the Xbox 360 and Wii versions, which were both released after the initial release of the game on other platforms. Except Ghosting Mater, the minigames are available in every other console except PSP and Nintendo DS by entering the code 'TRGTEXC'.
Opponents
Each story mode race features a different set of characters that compete in each race. In addition to the player, there are several CPU opponents, each one having a different speed level - there will be one very fast character, one fast character, one medium character, and one slow character. This system is very similar to the 'rival order' that is featured in the Mario Kart game series.

Development
Cars: The Video Game was developed and published by THQ to be released on several different platforms. The console versions were powered by Rainbow Studios' engine, with the handheld versions running off of Havok. In a behind the scenes feature included in the game's unlockable Bonus Content, the developers of the game reveal a variety of information regarding the game's design and development.
According to lead designer Jordan Itkowitz, the game was designed to provide additional story to those left wanting more after watching Cars. The game's prominent feature of exploration was implemented with the intention of allowing children to explore the vast world of Radiator Springs following their viewership of the film. Dan Scanlon also connects the exploration element to the morals of Cars, comparing how the film is about enjoying time in new locations, to how the game primarily takes place in Carburetor County.
For these reasons, the game also included a variety of new characters and new locations for players to familiarize themselves with. Scanlon and Steve Purcell confirmed that these new elements were based off of unimplemented ideas from the film.[2]

References to other media
- Cars: Several characters and locations return from this movie, with all of the characters keeping their original voice actors. The game's story also takes place shortly after the events of the film. However, it was meant to be considered as a continuation to the film rather than be canonical to it.
References in later media
- Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures: All of McQueen's alternate paint jobs are the same as in Cars: The Video Game.
- Cars: Mater-National Championship: Although there are many changes to the open world in this game, there are still several areas and roads that remain the same. All (but one) of Lightning's alternate paint jobs reappear alongside new collectible paint jobs.
- Cars: Race-O-Rama: All of the changes made in Cars: Mater-National Championship are no longer present, and the open world has returned to the way it was in this game, with the exception of a few new roads made specifically for Cars: Race-O-Rama. Lightning's alternate paintjobs reappear, but only in Monster Truck Races.
- Cars 3: One of the voice clips Docs says when overtaking another racer is, 'You might want to take notes on this one.' The same voice clip would be re-used in Cars 3 in the flashback where he is balancing a stack of objects on his hood.

Trivia
- The Piston Cup racers that appear in this game are different characters from the Piston Cup racers in the film, despite being nearly identical in appearance, with notable differences including their race numbers. In the Xbox 360 version of the game, however, all of the racers, excluding Hollister, Cortland, Joltsen, Aikens and Clarkson, have their numbers changed to match the characters that carry their sponsors in Cars.
- The DS version of the game is much different than the console versions. It has a variety of mini-games to choose from, as well as a few Piston Cup races.
- The GameBoy Advance version only has four playable characters: Lightning McQueen, Doc Hudson, The King, and Chick Hicks. There are also unlockable pictures from the movie that the player can unlock and collect.
- The PSP version has its own story mode involving Boost, DJ, Wingo and Snot Rod as the main antagonists, and their friendship with Chick Hicks is revealed. There are fifteen playable characters to choose from, with DJ, Snot Rod, Wingo, Boost and Chick Hicks as unlockable boss characters.
- If the player looks up in free drive mode, the clouds are tire treads, the same as in the movie.
- In the Xbox 360 version of the game, music doesn't play during the cutscenes and endscenes, while they do in other versions.
- The Xbox 360 and Wii versions use different 3D Models than other versions, for example, Gerald has smaller headlights and a more streamlined hood, and Tommy Joe has dents on his trunk.
- The last stripes at each end of the repaved road are shaped like lightning bolts.
- Like the film, the game is dedicated in memory of Joe Ranft.
- When the player visits Tailfin Pass in story mode, it will always be day time, even if the last event they played was at night time.
- By creating a new profile and making its name 'CHMPION', players can access a hidden hard mode.
Notes and references
- ↑Boost is often prone to setbacks in this race, and will sometimes finish in 4th as a result, behind Wingo and DJ.
