          Hot Wheels World Race (known as Hot Wheels: Highway 35 World Race in Europe) is a racing video game released in 2003 by Climax Group and THQ. The game is based on the movie and TV series of the same name that was released by Hot Wheels and Mainframe Entertainment, and 35 Hot Wheels toy automobiles were released in conjunction with the TV series to coincide with the 35th anniversary of the creation of the franchise.

          Gameplay

          The gameplay of World Race is similar to many other racing games. You can do special tricks when in the air, which adds on to your car's boost. Collecting gold rings also increases the boost. The PC, GameCube, and PS2 versions each have multi-player, all of which are split-screen.
