Hey, Spark!

What you doing with all that stuff?

Inventing!

I'm designing a high-tech car lift to get
any car off the ground in one second flat!

[Coop gasps]

[Spark] Plus, it will have
a slushy machine.

[slushy splashes]

Cool! Literally!

But I still have to build it, and fast.

Dash is expecting to see it tonight,
but I'll never get it done in time!

Not unless I grow
another pair of hands.

But you do have
another set of hands.

Mine! I can help!

-That would be incredible! Here!
-[Squeakers whirs]

-[exclaims]
-Take this to the lab,

and I'll go get the rest of my equipment.

Wait, there's more?

[objects clanking]

Whoa.

Whoa! [exclaims]

[Mac grunts]
I got you, Coop!

I was just getting the Baja Jump Truck
ready so I can practice

for the Hot Wheels City
Stunt Show Spectacular!

The stunt show?
Are you serious?

Not usually.
But in this case, yes!

And I could seriously use
some help practicing my new trick.

It has six flips! I've never done
the trick before,

and I don't wanna
mess up in front of everyone!

And you know you can
count on me to help out.

Yes! The stunt show is tonight,

so we gotta start
practicing right away.

Wait, right now?

[truck engine rumbles]

Uh, did I just promise
two friends I'd help them

at the same time?

You're gonna have to be
as fast as a rocket

if you're gonna help them both!

Just be honest with Mac and Spark.
They'll understand.

Wait!
Rockets! That's it!

I can blast back and forth between
Spark at the lab and Mac at the park.

Challenge accepted!

[radio static sounds]

[Coop] This is RocketFire.
Ready for launch in three, two...


one!

[energy warbles]

♪ Hot Wheels, let's race ♪

All right, here we go.

I gotta loop past the Firehouse.

[car engine whirs]

Fly over the pizza sign.

[engine revs]

And make it to Big Wheel Park!

[tires screech]

[energetic music resumes]

Whoo-hoo!

[truck whirs]

Go, Mac!

-Whoa!
-[truck warbles]

[tires screech]

[laughs] Way to go, Mac!
Five flips!

But I was going for six.
Any ideas?

Start with more speed.

Really go fast into the jump.

Speaking of going, I gotta go.

To the bathroom?

Yes, that one! I, um...

-Be right back!
-[car door thuds]

[car engine revs]

[exciting upbeat music]

[engine revs]

[tires screech]

Excellent timing, Coop. I'm just about
to test out the prototype!

[lift whirs]

[beeps trill]

[car whooshes]

[thudding]

Hmm! Settings must be off.

The jack should lift the Rodger Dodger,
not flip it six times!

[gasps] Six flips? I better go...

Uh, get you a socket wrench!

You know, to make adjustments?

[car engine whirs]

[exciting upbeat music]

See?

With the RocketFire,
I can be at two places at once!

I'm totally gonna pull this off.

[car screeches]

-[wrench clicks]
-[upbeat music slows]

-[banana squeaks]
-[Spark gasps]

Coop! Uh, you don't look too good.

Mm! Would pizza help?

Pizza.

Gotta jump over the pizza.

Coop, you're practically
asleep at the wheel!

It's time you tell
your friends the truth.

No need, Brights!
I got this!

I just wish the track
between them wasn't so...

[yawns] long.

[gasps] That's it!

I'll use the Track Builder
to design a faster track

between here and the stunt park!

[buttons click]

[machine whirs]

[phone rings]

Yo, dude, I'm at
five-and-a-half flips!


Almost there.
Need you ASAP!


Uh, on my way!

[Track Builder]
Warning, track not finished.

-[alarm sounds]
-Warning, track incomplete.

Warning, plan about to backfire.

[engine revs]

Boo-yah!

Now, this is faster!

-[engine whirs]
-[upbeat music]

Only, where's the rest of the loop?

[music intensifies]

[Coop yells]

Nice view, though!

Whoa!

[cheese sploshes]

Oh, you've gotta be kidding me!

[suspenseful music]

-[engines whir]
-Yo, Coop!

In a sticky situation?

We were both looking for you,
and we saw you fall from the sky!

Totally awesome stunt!
What happened?

About that, it's a long story.

You promised to help
both Mac and me today...

And then got in over your head.

Huh! Guess it wasn't that long.
I'm so sorry.

It's okay. You just should
have been honest.

We would have understood.

But since you helped us all day,
I think it's time we help you!

And I know just the thing!

[cheese sploshes]

[screen trills]

[car thuds]

I hate to break up this nice moment,

but I'm gonna be
late for the stunt show!

And I'm supposed
to meet with Dash!

[bright music]

I'll get you there!

[engine whirs]

Hold on tight!
Turbo launch, activate!

Go, Hot Wheels!

-[engine revs]
-[car warbles]

-[exciting upbeat music]
-[cars whoosh]

[announcer] And here comes
Mac in the Baja Jump Truck!


[truck whirs]

Whoa!
That was six flips, folks!


A new stunt record!

-[engine revs]
-[people cheer]

-[engine whirs]
-[exciting music continues]

Next stop, the Ultimate Garage!

[engine whooshes]

[tires screech]

There you are!

I hear you have a k*ller
new invention to show us!

Totally!

-[lift trills]
-It's a super powerful car lift,

and slushy machine!

[Squeakers warbles]

-[slushy sploshes]
-[Squeakers honks]

Incredible!

That's the fastest car lift
slushy machine I've ever seen!

-[bell dings]
-[Dash slurps]

-Mm, blueberry waffle flavor.
-[Squeakers warbles]

Your invention will be a perfect addition

to the Ultimate Garage!

Great work, Spark!

Thank you, Dash!

But Coop deserves a lot of credit too!

He really helped me and Mac today.

Then it sounds like Coop
deserves a Flame Badge,

because a Hot Wheels racer
always helps their friends.

Uh, where is Coop?

[Coop snoring]

[chuckles] Being a good friend is tiring.

Sleep well, Coop.
You earned it.

[snoring]

[announcer] Coming up next, this
Street Beast has fins and giant teeth!

[energetic music playing]

It's a beautiful morning
here in Hot Wheels City.

And, I tell ya, nothing can ruin
this grand opening

of the Hot Wheels
Ultimate Car Wash!

Except a giant
rampaging octopus!

[octopus sloshes]

-[Professor Rearview laughs]
-[car screeches]

[octopus sloshes]

[keys clank]

[laughs] Ooh, this is fun!

Fun for me,
scary for you! [laughs]

-[laughter continues]
-[octopus roars]

Ever get thirsty on a long race?

My new dashboard
water sh**t can solve that!

-First, you...
-[water whooshes]

-Whoa!
-[water sploshes]

Ah!

Phew! Sorry, Dash!
That wasn't right.

Looks like some
adjustments are in order.

-Like changing the angle.
-Ah, don't worry, Spark.

Every failure means
you're one step closer to success!

-Keep trying!
-[Squeakers whirs]

[Squeakers exclaims]

[thudding]

[Squeakers trills]

Uh, I'm still working on
my robot translations,

but did Squeakers just say
there's a giant octopus?!

The octopus is running...
uh, slithering wild!

And not even the police
can tame these tentacles.

The octopus!
It's destroying the city!

We have to do something!

[suspenseful music]

I'm destroying Hot Wheels City,
and all the cars in it!

What a glorious day!

You heard it here first, folks!

This pesky professor
is gonna destroy

-the car wash.
-[metal creaks]

[energetic upbeat music]

Hey, dude!

This is a no octopus loading area!

Race back to where
you came from, kids.

Because I, Professor Rearview,

am gonna make this city
pay for its love of cars!

I hate them so, so much!

They're loud and noisy,

and don't get me started
on parallel parking!

-[energetic music]
-[octopus thuds]

-This city, and all its cars...
-[car screeches]

...will be destroyed!

And I'll evilly laugh like this...
[clears throat]

[laughs maniacally]

Okay, I analyzed the octopus.
I think the best way to stop it

is to use its tentacles
against itself!

Let's all race really fast
at the tentacles

so they get tangled up like a pretzel!

-Come on!
-[engines rev]

[cars whoosh]

Octopus!

Get those racers!

[octopus whooshes]

[wind whooshes]

[racers yelling]

Ha! Nothing can distract me from my plan!

-[taco truck honks]
-Nothing...

-[jingle playing]
-Hey!

Is that a taco truck down there?

[engines revving]

Well, that didn't work,
like, at all!

It's like Dash said,

"Every failure means
we're one step closer to success!"

Hmm.

Let's try racing at the octopus
from different directions!

If we do that, it'll be a lot harder
for the octopus to catch us!


One extra-large order

-of calamari coming up!
-[truck revs]

[engines rev]

Mm!

Back for more, racers?

[suspenseful upbeat music]

[engines rev]

Yes! We're confusing it!
Keep it up.

-[tires screech]
-Whoa!

[laughs] We'll keep you up!

I don't remember reading about
this on the camp website.

[tires screech]

[gasps] Maybe it
was in the brochure!

[suspenseful music continues]

Don't worry, guys! This is why we raced
in different directions.

If some cars get caught, we still have
a chance to stop the octopus!

[Brights] Smart thinking, Spark!

[engines rev]

It's really working!

-[car thuds]
-[yells] Never mind!

Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no!

[octopus exclaims]

[gasps] There's still one more racer!

[suspenseful music continues]

[tentacle thuds]

[car thuds]

[octopus growls]

Ugh! You need a breath mint!

[octopus gulps]

[yells] Axle!

No!

-[octopus whooshes]
-[tires screech]

[octopus gags]

I think you might have
eaten too fast, octopus.

[hiccups] Kind of like
I did with those tacos.

-[stomach grumbles]
-[groans]

[octopus belches]

[tires screech]

Axle, are you okay?

Oh, I'm fine, Coop.

I love getting burped up
by giant sea monsters!

I know Dash thinks we could do this,
but all we've done is fail!

Failing doesn't mean quitting,
it means trying even harder!

I agree, Spark!

The way we win is to try,
fail, and repeat

until we get it right!

Then come up with a new plan, fast!

Yeah, those tentacles
are snatching up cars

like Professor Rearview
snatches up tacos!

Hey! [crunches]

Don't judge me,
it's my cheat day!

-[octopus roars]
-[upbeat music continues]

If the octopus can grab us
with its suction cups,

then we need to reduce
the friction on our cars!

[gear shift thuds]

[car whooshes]

Yeah!

I don't understand
anything Spark just said,

but I love the way she said it!

[engines rev]

What's this?!

It looks like the racers
from the Ultimate Garage Racing Camp

are taking their
cars for a spin!

A spin cycle, that is!

[suds splosh]

Now that we're slippery,
we can race in different directions

and the octopus can't catch us!

[groans] These kids don't quit!

Put an end to this madness, octopus!

[tires screech]

-[tentacles thudding]
-[engines whir]

[suspenseful upbeat music]

-[cars whoosh]
-We're giving this octopus the slip!

Let's tie this thing in knots!

[upbeat music continues]

[octopus groans]

[car squeaks]

See? When we put soap on our cars,

we're really slippery
and the octopus can't pick us up!

[octopus whooshes]

[tires screech]

[upbeat music continues]

-[octopus thuds]
-[Professor Rearview] Just wait a minute!

I'm, uh... I'm losing, aren't I?

Great.

Now it's time to send
the supersized sea creature

back where it belongs!

-[energy warbles]
-Mega Crunch, activate!

-[energy warbles]
-Go, Hot Wheels!

-[energy whirs]
-[flames whoosh]

[car warbles]

-[shark crunches]
-[water sploshes]

-[water whooshes]
-I'll get you and your cars for this!

[yells] I'll be back!

[uplifting music]

Epic aim, Spark!

Thanks, Mac!
I realized that hose

was like a bigger version
of my dashboard water sh**t!

This time, I got the angle right.

-[all laugh]
-You sure did!

But I don't think we've seen the last
of that pesky professor.

Well done, campers!

I'm so proud you never gave up.

Because of you,
the city is saved!

We just had to try,
fail, learn, and repeat,

until we succeeded!

Exactly!

And trying until you succeed is why
you earned a Flame Badge!

[Axle] Ooh, yeah! Go, Spark!

-Way to go!
-All right, Spark!

Thank you, Dash!
I'm honored!

You all did amazing
out there today.

But I do see one problem.

I think you need
another trip to the car wash.

I won't say no to that! [laughs]

-[engines whir]
-[racers laugh]

[racers cheer and laugh]

[uplifting upbeat music]

And the grand opening
of the car wash can continue,

thanks to the Ultimate Garage Racers!

[announcer] Up next,
it glows, it quacks,


it drives on orange tracks!

[racers] I choose the Duck N' Roll!
