Overview
Hot Wheels: World Race is a racing game developed by Climax Brighton and published by THQ. It is based on the television series Hot Wheels: World Race that was released by Hot Wheels and Mainframe Entertainment, and 35 Hot Wheels toy automobiles were released in conjunction with the television series to coincide with the 35th anniversary of the creation of the franchise.
The gameplay of World Race is similar to many other racing games. Players can do special tricks when in the air, which adds on to the players' car's Nitrox 2 booster fuel. Collecting gold rings also increases the boost. The PC and home console versions all have split-screen multiplayer.
The game received "mixed" reviews on all platforms except the Game Boy Advance version, which received "generally unfavorable reviews", as reported by video game review aggregator website Metacritic.
