Hot Wheels World Race (2003)

[bunniefuu]

I don't know why
we keep failing.

I built a new kind of car,
the fastest in the world!

Maybe you should build
a new kind of driver.

A new kind of driver...

Bummer.

Next time you want to lose
to me Alec, try surfing.

Water's a lot softer.

We outta get up a team, Vert.

Surf or skateboards, either one,
we could get sponsored!

Haven't you heard?
I'm a team of one.

Later!

Uh, what's up dad?

My squadron's shipping out.
High alert.

But, you were gonna take me
to get my drivers license.

I can drop you off at the testing center, Vert,

but I don't have time to wait for you.

But, I've been waiting 16 years.

Anyway, what's the point of having
a license without a car?

Look, I'm sorry I have to go,

especially on your birthday,

But I've got a responsiblity
to my squadron.

We're a team,
And as a team-

You said as soon as I was 16,
I could drive the car.

Skateboard, surfing,
now cars.

Some day you'll find out
what's really important.

You mean more important
than what I want.

You can't always do what you want.

You have to think about other people.

I'm gonna be the best
driver in the world.

I don't have time for this now Vert.
Do you want me to drop you off, or not.

Wheeler?

You made a perfect score on the
written test and the driving test.

Your father must be very proud.

Yeah, thanks.

Woah...

Check it out...

Greetings!

Because of your extraordinary abilities,

you have been chosen to
take part in the World Race.

Drivers with unique skills have been
recruited from all over the world.

Some with experience at the highest
levels of professional racing.

And others whose full talents
have not yet been discovered.

I'm looking for the greatest
driver in the world!

If that's you, then follow
the map on the GPS screen.

Welcome to the handler proving ground.

I see that you've all found your
driving suits.

My name is Peter Tezla. I'm the
Founder and President of SCRIM Corporation.

I've invented the most advanced racing
technology the world has ever seen.

In the World Race, you will
take this technology to it's limits,

and beyond.

Cool.

The driver who wins will be
declared the fastest racer in the world.

and will recieve 5 million dollars.

Way cool.

What would you do if
you had that kind of money?

I do,
and I've done it.

The cars are equiped with
special Nitrox-2 boosters.

The Grand Prix wasn't this fast!

And each car has special equipment

to handle a different type of terrain.

Sweet.

The cars I call Desert Rats,

can operate in the deepest sand.

Magnificent!

While a Scorching Car, can
drive through the heart of a volcano.

Hey Vert, since we both
have Wave Ripper cars,

maybe we should be a team?

Forget it, Lani.
I'm a team of one.

Check it out!

Hey, you're uh,
you're Taro Kitano, right?

Somebody told me you skied down
Mount Everest once.

Twice. I'm gonna pass you.

That's what you think.

Ah man, wrong switch!

This isn't a game, kid.

You are now a driver
not a surf rat.

Who are you calling kid.

I call the track Highway 35,

because that's where it begins.

But it is older than our roads,
older than human history.

It was built eons ago by
technologically advanced beings,

perhaps from another world.

Beings whom I call,
the Accelerons.

The track exists in a different
dimension from our own,

a dimension you won't see,
until the race begins.

When you reach 300 miles per hour,

the portal between
the dimensions will open.

Another portal at the end of the track
will return you to this dimension.

Hey Taro, you think this guy Tezla knows
what he's talking about, or is he just loco?

It took a genius to
build these cars Banjee.

He could be a genius,
and still be insane.

Check it out!

Woah!

Where are we?

Tezla was right,

it is another dimension!

Check out these rocks!

Forget the rocks Banjee,

Check out that sky!

It's still a track,

that's my world.

Hey, watch it, Kurt!

A wipeout like that,

and I hardly got dinged.

Man, these cars can really
take punishment!

This is what I call a loop!

Oh yeah!

I'm gonna make it.

I'm gonna make it!

I'm-

Not gonna make it.

I'm goin' for it.

You don't have enough
speed for that jump!

You think you can take that loop?
You better think again!

What's the matter, Banjee?
Didn't you ever grind a half pipe.

He's doing it to pick up speed!

Nobody beats Kurt Wylde.

Come on! Come on!

Yes!

Eat my dust.

No skateboard tricks now kid.
Just driving.

Who are you calling kid?

Woah!

Kadeem, when you've ridden Motorcross

through the mountains of El Yonke like me,

this is nothing.

Woah!

Can't see!

When you have driven in a sandstorm
in the Sahara, Banjee,

this, is nothing.

Woah!

What?

Yeah! sh**t the curl!

Yeah!

Tezla said this car
can handle volcanos.

If he can do it, I can.

I'm losing it.

I can still win this race.

Can anyone hear me?
I need help!

If you hear me, I'm at th-

Lani, this is Taro.
I'm coming to help you.

Yeah, Taro will help her,

but... what if he can't?

This is an interesting problem.

Heads up, Lani!

This is too heavy.

Lani, grab the grappling line!

On the count of three,
Taro and I will unhook our lines.

The boulder goes over,
and I'll pull you up.

You're crazy, kid.

Do it Taro!

One two...

three!

That was good driving...for a kid.

Well you might make a pretty
good surf rat yourself.

There's the portal,

finish line!

But... How do I?

What happened? Did I win?

Welcome back.

This is not the
end of the World Race,

it's only the beginning.

From now on,
you will race as teams,

as the winner of the
first leg of the race,

Kurt Wylde will have first choice of

six new drivers for
his Street Breed team.

The other teams will be recruited
and led by Brian Kadeem,

Banjee Castillo,

Taro Kitano,

and Vert Wheeler.

Do you have the courage to
continue the World Race?

Into a world that's
totally unknown?

I'm in.

Yeah, me too.

Do we still win five million dollars?

Five million, for every member of
the winning team.

And the knowledge, that you're
the fastest racer in the world.

Yeah, I'll lead one of your teams.

If that's what it takes to
win the race.

Good.

Now that you have decided
to continue.

I can tell you what really waits
for you at the end of Highway 35.

Woah!

This Highway 35's insane!

That's why you need a
practice run Skeet.

Nothing's gonna stop the Road Beasts
from winning the World Race!

You said it, Banjee.

Hey Skeet, Esmerelda, last one to
the portal, buys the Guava Juice!

Hey Skeet...

I like my Guava Juice, imported.

In your dreams.

They're coming.

I know.

Yes! Better than Kurt Wylde's time!

Care to explain yourself, Banjee?

I was just getting my team some practice.

You mean you were risking your
cars on a section of Highway 35

thats already been explored.

The risk, is sending new drivers
into a race without practice.

No one enters Highway 35
unless I approve it.

Those are the rules.

Yeah, but doc, rules
are made to be broken.

Not my rules.

I take it this is one
of our new recruits?

Lani Tam, meet Alec Wood.

Wheels or waves,
I'm the best.

The humble type, huh?

I know this is basic math, Vert,
but we're still one driver short.

Hey, I just turned 16, okay?
Half the people I know can't drive yet.

Who's the tool?

Kurt Wylde.

He won the first
leg of the World Race.

Kurts a major chafe,
but that's not him driving.

Who's driving my car!

Whoever it is,
he's sure having fun.

Get out of my car, now!

You?

Hey bro, nice wheels.

Who is this guy?

My kid brother... Markie.

Hey, it's Mark.
And I'm not a kid.

He's a punk, like
some others around here.

So, Dan Dresden told me you were,

uh, recruiting drivers
for a race.

How do you get here?

Eh, that's not important,

but what is important is
I want to be on your team.

Forget it, Markie.

I'm a good driver, Kurt.

My teams full.

All I want is a chance,

let me prove what I can do!

You had some pretty
cool moves in that car.

And I still need one
more driver for my team.

Welcome to the
Wave Rippers!

The Accelerons built the track,
we call Highway 35,

because they loved racing.

I believe that only the challenge
and spirit of competition

can take a driver
through to the end.

But why is it important
to reach the end of the track?

This is the ancient inscription
describes a Wheel of Power,

that will be found, at the
end of Highway 35.

I believe it will be the greatest source
of energy the world has ever known.

Work with your teams,
and win the World Race.

Prove you're the best
drivers in the world.

And bring it to me,
the Wheel of Power.

Tezlas told the new drivers about the Wheel of Power,

we start racing again tomorrow.

Will it be at the end of the next track?

I do not know,
even Tezla doesn't know.

Perhaps, Z-36, he isn't
telling you all he knows.

I know you say
he can't be trusted...

No one can be trusted
with the Wheel of Power.

That's why I'm paying you to
drive in this race.

And to spy.

To follow orders.

If you can't get the Wheel for us,

we'll find someone, who can.

All drivers check safety harnesses.

Taro, check your dashcam,
there seems to be a malfunction.

Oh, that's got it,
activating starting drone.

Good luck, racers.

Whee pah!

I never get tired of this!

Watch that first turn amigos,
unless you've got wings!

Hey Markie. You ever drive a car
at 300 miles per hour?

Only in my dreams!

Excuse me, coming through.

Pardon me.

Yo, back up Jack!
We're on the same team.

The name is Mark Wylde,
and when I race, then I race.

Nice work, Markie.

Give me some room, Kurt.
You're not winning this race.

With my eyes closed, Banjee.

With your mouth closed would be better.

Actions speak louder than words.

Esto es uno makuha!

Easy for you to say!

Smooth move!
You did that on purpose!

Yeah, right! Like I'm trying
to come in last.

You won't have to try to do that.

Hey Road Beasts,
I got an idea.

What's up, Banjee?

I think I scoped a shortcut.

Eh, aren't we supposed to
stay on the track?

Were supposed
to win the race,

and that's what I'm gonna do.

Now, you can be with me, or be last.

We're with you, Banjee.

Hey, you see that Vert?

The Road Beasts are taking another route.

It could be a big mistake, Lani.

They could have been lost.

Yeah, or in first place!

You gotta take chances to win.

Come on,
what've we got to lose, Vert?

Guys, we're supposed to be a team.

We can still catch these guys, Vert.

You catch em' Alec.

Markie and Lani may need my help.

We have the lead, Taro,
the two of us.

One too many.

This shortcut's looking good, Es.

Better than good, Banjee,
it's beautiful in here.

Man, I thought we had some big trees
back home in Puerto Rico.

A shortcut, cut short.

It didn't fall?

Who's that?

I see the Road Beasts up ahead.

I can catch em'.

Careful, Markie,
there could be trouble ahead.

Ah!

Woah.

We've got this race in
the bag Road Beasts.

What's that up ahead, Banjee?

I do not know what it is,

but it looks, like we
just hit a red light.

What do we do now, Banjee?

I'm working on it.

Maybe we should turn around.

There is no going back Road Beasts!

Vert?

The bridge we crossed, it collapsed.

Why? Is there a problem
with going forward?

Yeah. A big problem.

Awesome!

Hey Taro, you think maybe one of us
is on the wrong track?

Taro! Can you hear me, Taro?

Are you gonna talk through
this entire race?

It's a challenge alright.

El de sanyo magnífico,
The greatest challenge.

You ever tried something like this?

Not since the last time
I played miniature golf.

I know how we can do it.

I've used my onboard computer the calculate
the timing configuration of the rotation,

and coordinate it with the distance of the jump!

Can you put that in English?

Or at least Spanish?

The computer gives you a green light,

and five seconds later you hit the
ramp at 163 miles per hour.

Do that and you make it through.

Is she loco, or what?

Are you ready, Es?

Ready as I'll ever be boss.

I'm starting the timer now,
good luck everybody.

Three, Two, One...

Go!

Made it!

You're next, Skeet.

Did anybody get the license
number of that truck?

We've got trouble, Vert.
It's turning at a different speed.

I can't time
the rotation.

I can't tell you when to start!

What do you think, Banjee?

I came here to race,
I say we go for it.

Let's do it!

Can they make it?

I don't know.

We've got a race to finish!

I hope Alec is making
better time than we are.

Hey, how about giving a new guy
a shot at first place?

I'm gonna pass you.

You're going to try.

There's the portal!

What was that you said, Taro?

"I'm going to pass you" or
"I'm going to tie you"?

Next time.

Hey, here's Mr. Shortcut,

you here to apologize for
putting us all in last place?

Hey, chill out, Markie.
Nobody made us follow the Road Beasts.

If Banjee owes an apology to anybody,
it's his own team.

I already squared it with em'.

They want me to tell you,
"We're gonna kick your bumper next time

but we will do it on the real track."

You're on!

You shouldn't have come here in person.
It's dangerous.

For you, perhaps.

Why did you want to see me?

What went wrong today?

It's not working for me...
Sabotaging other drivers.

CLYP went to a great
deal of trouble to

give you this car,
this disguise.

I'm a good driver... the best.

I don't have to cheat to
to win the race.

Keeping the Wheel of Power from Tezla,
is too important to leave to chance.

You will win the race,

even if you have to eliminate
the other drivers to do it.

Eliminate?

You know, what I mean.

The second leg of the World Race

ended in a tie between Taro Kitano,
and Brian Kadeem.

So tomorrow, they will share the pole position

for the next leg in the World Race.

Perhaps, the final leg.

Tomorrow, you may reach
the end of Highway 35,

and you will find it
the Wheel of Power,

and five million dollars,
for every member of your team.

Get some rest,
you'll need it.

Ah!

Lani? What are you doing?

Just, checking out my car.

You need some help?

No.

Why is that surf rat prowlin' around?

Will you let the city of your
fathers become a ruin?

For a hundred years the
desert has grown around it.

The people are leaving it.

The sand moves it.

Haziz?

What are you doing here,

when your city needs you?

I need to win this race
with, the prize money I can-

I see danger waiting for you
on the road you travel.

What danger, Haziz?

I speak of the greatest danger of all!

How will I recognize it?

How should I know? I'm blind.

Start the race.

This could be the day I finally
get the Wheel of Power.

This time, no tie.

No tie indeed.

When I win.

No traction.

Dune Rats,
switch to sand tires.

Get some spikes man!

Let's make tracks!

Mind if I tag along?

Feels kind of heavy.

How are we supposed to
drive through this!

Not drive it,
surf it!

Wave Rippers, transfer power from
your wheels to your turbo jets

and aim down at the sand.

The dune's nothing but
a big wave of sand.

We'll ride it out of here.

Wave Rippers,
steer with your turbos.

I'm going back to normal tires.

The old man was right.

The greatest danger lies
on the road I travel.

It's a statue,

built by the Accelerons.

Magnificent!

Hey!

Headlights, Chuvo.

Let's tame this beast.

Hang on to your helmet, Rakkas.

It may be tame, but
it's still got some teeth.

Too short!

Woah!

Did you make it, Chuvo?

I guess not.

There's only one way out of here.

Do you hear that, Chuvo?

Who's that?

Whoever it is, he's ahead of us!

Now what?

That thing, on top of the pyramid.

The Wheel of Power!

I can feel the energy.

It has to be the Wheel of Power.

Magnificent.

This should hold it.

That must be the Wheel.

Come on!

Back on the track!

Who are you?

You don't know what you're doing.

The Wheel!

What was that?

Look out!

That must be the Wheel of Power
Tezla told us about.

Hey Taro, do you think that's
the Wheel they're chasing?

I think they're fools.

I'm going after the Wheel, Vert.

Hold up, Wave Rippers.

Taro and Banjee aren't going after it.

That's not the Wheel.

Come on, we've got a
race to finish.

You lose.

Kurt Wylde?

You have to give me the Wheel of Power.

I found the Wheel,
and I'm going to win the race!

No!

Hey Taro, guess what,

I'm gonna pass, you.

Not today.

Huelga!

There's the portal!

Huh?

This isn't the end of the World Race.

Just another leg.

So it seems.

sh**t the curl!

Almost there!

It's gone!

It wasn't the Wheel.

I heard Kurt Wylde ran off.

Like he was some kind
of spy or something.

That's pretty wild, even for Kurt.

I was the one who turned him in.

Uh...

Hey, it looks like some
tasty waves down there.

You ever do any surfing
where you come from?

My home is far from the ocean,

sometimes it's hard
to find water just to drink.

Thirst, hunger.

And now my people fight each other.

Huh...

I guess five million dollars could
really make a difference.

This is why I drive.

Huh.

Funny, I never thought about what
winning means to other people,

just what it means to me.

Nobody following me, good.

What's going on?

We must talk, Z-36.

It's a little late for code names now.

They know what I've been doing.

I'm through working for you.

I decide when you're through.

You will work for us as long
as we have a use for you.

It's time to plan your next move, Z-36.

Did you find the danger that
was waiting for you, Kadeem?

I thought I'd found the wheel,

but I was wrong.

It was only that I wanted
so much to find it,

to win the race.

This is the greatest danger.

To see only what you want to see,

and not what is true.

I want to win, yes.

But not just for myself.

To get the money our people need-

Our people need not what is yours,
but you.

They need you
to lead them.

Is that why you're here?

To tell me that?

You're telling it to yourself.

World race drivers,

start your engines!

Come on, Alec, Markie,
let's catch this wave.

Hey, now that's Kurts
out of the race,

maybe you can get him
to help you win.

Hey, I don't have to cheat
to win!

Chill, Markie.

Hey, it was just a joke.

Because Kurt and Markie are brothers.

Hey, he's no brother to me!

Got it.

Give me your status, Z-36.

They've marked the track now, Gelorum,

I know where the next portal is,

if I can get through it
ahead of the other drivers-

You aren't going in, alone.

These two CLYP drivers will go
through the portal with you.

They will make sure you reach the end of Highway 35, first.

I don't need their help to win.

I decide
what do you need.

Remember, drivers,

this may be the last leg of the race.

If you reach the end of Highway 35

and find the Wheel of Power,

you and each member of your team,
will win five million dollars.

Good luck to you all.

Hey, who let them on the track?

It's Kurt Wylde.

He's going for the portal.

Nobody gets the jump on the Road Beasts.

Come on Wave Rippers.

Let's go, ballistic!

You need more speed to get
through the portal, Tono.

Use your Nitrox-2 booster.

There's something wrong, Side Draft.

The gauge says I'm out of Nitrox-2!

Guh!

Woah!

Lookout Road Beasts!

Scorchers,

deploy your volcano tires and lava plows.

Thank you for clearing the road, Taro.

Maybe we should all work together?

I'll think about it.

I've thought about it,
we'll work together.

Roadblock, Markie!

Not for me.

Hey, wait up!

Markie!

Deploy anti-vehicle mines!

Markie!

This is too dangerous
on your own, Markie.

We need to work together.

I don't need help to win,

I don't need anybody.

All mines are laid on
the track, and armed.

You have to detonate the mines
before the racers reach them,

so you just block the track.

I don't want anybody to get hurt.

What you want does not matter.

That's my brother in the lead!

Your brother does not matter either.

Markie, this is Kurt.

You've got to stop, now.

Ah, yeah right, like I'm
gonna do anything you say,

you just tryna keep me from winning!

Markie-

Markie!

Markie! Can you hear me?

Mines!

No!

All clear.

Hey, what was that?

Trouble.

Is everything okay, Markie? Markie?

The Stingrays not answering.

If Markies not running his mouth,

something must be wrong.

Why are you stopping?

Your orders are to reach the end of the track,
and get the Wheel of Power.

We have to find a way around this thing.

Man, I love going off-road.

But this place is like a maze!

Street Breed cars are designed
for driving in mazes,

they're called cities.

The Eye in the Sky can find an
alternate route around the traffic jam.

Got it!

Follow me.

The other racers are
driving onto the glacier,

we must stay ahead of them.

Get back in your car, Z-36.

You go get the Wheel of Power!

Our orders are to help
you win the race.

What difference does it make
if it's me or one of you!

Get back in your car now!

You're right,

getting the Wheel is the important thing.

But not the only thing.

I'll go after the Wheel of Power,

but I'm gonna help Markie first.

The Accelerons built this
track for human beings.

That is why YOU must
get the Wheel of Power.

Dune Rats,
use your spikes.

Kurt?

If you will not obey,

Then you must be destroyed.

Come on, start!

Markie!

That was close.

Hey, why was that robot thing after you,

I thought you were working together?

We had a disagreement,
about helping you.

I don't need any help from you!

Markie!

Listen, I have to keep Tezla

from getting the Wheel of Power.

You and I can work together.

I can help you win the race.

I've always looked up to you, Kurt.

That's why I wanted to be a driver,
to be like you.

But I'm not you.

I won't cheat to win!

I have to do what I think is right.

So do I.

You think you can beat me?

I'm not just your little brother now.

I am as good a driver as you are.

You're good, but I've got more experience.

Nobody beats Kurt Wylde.

You okay, Markie?

Win it for the Wave Rippers, Vert.

You should've stayed with
Street Breed, Kurt,

you could've had five million dollars.

Talk is cheap, Dresden.

Man, this ice track leaves me cold.

You can take him, Vert.

Yeah!

It's a robot!

You better give up, Vert.

These drone racers are
not gonna let you win.

Let's clip your wings.

It's just you and me now, Kurt.

I wouldn't have it any other way.

You're pretty good at cheating, Kurt.

How's your driving?

When you were hanging
around the skateboard park,

I was driving Grand Prix.

I wasn't just hanging around.

I was learning how to do that.

Oh, I've got something
you can learn, surf rat.

That I can do anything you can.

Nice shot, slingshot.

Gah!

What is that?

It's a city.

Situation critical.

Wheel of Power.

Wheel of Power.

It's like a city built for cars.

This must be it!

The Wheel of Power!

I didn't come this far to lose.

Wheel of Power.

Going vertical!

This was some ride.

Because he was the first to
reach the Wheel of Power,

Vert Wheeler has been declared
the winner of the World Race,

the fastest driver in the world.

Each member of his Wave Rippers team

receives a check for five million dollars

The only thing better
than catching a wave,

is catching five million big ones.

What are you gonna do with yours, Vert?

I'd like to buy a used car,

my Deora II.
Will Tezla sell it to me?

Dr. Tezla has decided that each driver may keep his or her car,

he has no use for them now.

We've got cars,
so how about another race?

To see if you're really the best,

or if you just got lucky.

I make my own luck.

Anyone else wanna race?

Street Breeds always ready to tear up the street,

how about the Dune Rats, Kadeem?

I'm going home,
I have things I must do.

You can race,

but not on Highway 35.

What are you talking about, Taro?

Hey, what gives?

The portal will no longer open,

now that the Wheel of Power
has been removed.

No more racing on Highway 35?

Security lock enforced

access denied.

Dr. Tezla is
examining the Wheel of Power.

He has given orders not to be disturbed.

The race is over, he doesn't
make the rules anymore.

There must be some way to get in there.

Even I can not open the door.

I can.

That door is the property
of the SCRIM Corporation!

No problems.
I can pay for the damages.

We've got a problem, Dr. Tezla.

Whatever it is, can wait until
I finish my work.

Gig says the portal to Highway 35
won't open anymore.

That is correct.

We wanna race on Highway 35 again.

Why?

We're drivers.

Woah!

Where are you going, Z-36?

It's over, Gelorum.

Tezla has the Wheel of Power now.

Only a human driver could
bring the wheel to this world.

But now, it belongs to anyone
with the power to take it.

You are no longer needed.

Gelorum!

Goodbye, Kurt Wylde.

It was a pleasure using you.

Highway 35 is more than
just a place to race,

it's like there's a fire inside you.

Highway 35 was a test.

That's why the Accelerons built it,

to see if we are ready, for this,

an unlimited source of clean energy.

The Wheel isn't just
powering this complex,

it's sending energy
all over the country,

and I've still only tapped
a fraction of its power.

What's happening?

Tezla must have forgot
to pay the light bill.

What happened?

I'm not positive,

but I think I just blew every
fuse in North America.

Gig!

What have I done?

The power spike must
have destroyed Gig's circuits.

Oh, is my fault.

You know more about the wheel than anyone,

but you can't control its power.

Maybe no one can.

I want to use the wheel
to benefit humanity.

It's too dangerous to have that
much power in one person's hands,

even when they're your hands.

Too dangerous.

I'm going to restore power to the complex.

I don't like to make
decisions in the dark.

Perhaps I will go home later.

You have 3 minutes to
hand over the Wheel of Power.

If you do not surrended the Wheel,

this entire complex will be destroyed.

I should never have brought
the Wheel out of Highway 35.

And now it's too late.

Unless...

Unless what?

There was something about the ancient inscriptions.

"Wisdom is a circle.

what you receive, you must give back."

Are you saying we can put back the Wheel of Power?

That's one possible meaning.

I'll take it back.

No.

I brought it here.
It's my responsibility.

Do it.

Two minutes.

I've got your back, Vert.

Lani, after we're gone-

Uh uh, I'm going with you.

One minute.

We're with you too, Vert.

Look, those machine outside
are after the Wheel of Power,

you would be safe
if you stay here.

No way, Vert.
We're Wave Rippers.

We're all on the same team now.

Right, Kadeem?

Ride the wind!

Your time is up.

All CLYP vehicles,
prepare to attack!

Short race.

They have the Wheel of Power.
Stop them!

Serpentine, Vert.

Switch, now!

Amateurs.

I'm outta here.

Woah, who turned on the light?

The portal!

Follow them through.

Follow them through the portal.

Get the Wheel.

Even if you have to destroy them all!

Gelorum, order those robots
not to hurt the drivers!

There are human beings
in those cars!

You do not understand,
do you?

I do now.

They don't give up, do they?

Split up.

We are easy targets in a group.

Some people just can't drive in traffic.

Dude!

Close.

Look out, Banjee!

Look out, Vert!

Kurt?

Pop the clutch, surf rat,
and we'll get you going.

But I thought you were
on their side, Kurt?

I just took the wrong road for a while.

Let's get this wheel
back where it belongs.

Man, this is better than a skatepark.

Good luck, surf rat.

They cut the ramp!

Ah, no way!

I'm gonna have to try it again.

I'm almost out of Nitrox-2.

Maybe one more boost.

Let's see how well you drive,

in half a car.

Gelorum!

Ride it!

Like a day at the beach.

Kurt!

A-Are you alright?

Look!

They run away.

This is not the end of the race.

It's beautiful.

Pretty cool.

Cool nothing,

it's hot!

Hot Wheels city!

I wish I could stay.

Hey Kadeem,
wait up.

Listen, Kadeem.

I know money can't solve all the problems
back where you're from,

but it probably wouldn't hurt.

But, this is your money for winning.

The people in your city, I figured they need this more than I do.

My people, will not forget this.

I will not forget.

I have to go too.
I need to get in touch with my dad.

Hey Surf Rat!

Come back sometime,
and we'll race.

Just for fun this time.

Yeah, sure. Just for fun.

Fun for me,
when I win.

Dad!

What are you doing here?

When my squadron stood down,

I came home and found
a message from my son,

something about, driving in a race.

I know, I should have asked you first dad,

but this race was very important.

There was this Wheel of Power right-

I know all about it.

These two told me everything.

Gig! I thought you were, shorted out.

I was able to restore
his operating system.

I'm proud of you, son.

Not because you won the race.

But because of what happened afterwards.

Because you had courage
to do the right thing.

I told you you'd learn
what's really important.

Dad..

But you're still grounded for a month.

You mean I got the hottest car ever,

and I can't drive for a month?

Grounded is grounded.

But, how about taking me for a spin first?

The Deora II is ready to go.

It looks pretty complicated.

What's this button do?

Dad!

Vert?

Ride the wave, Dad!

Vert!
