Cars is a cross platform video game based on the film of the same name, and a sequel to a Disney/Pixar film.
Plot
In this video-game-exclusive sequel to the Disney/Pixar movie Cars, Lightning McQueen prepares himself for the next Piston Cup season, though current champion Chick Hicks isn't going to give up the title easily. Lightning must brush up on his driving skills with help from Doc Hudson, Mater, Sally Carrera, and the rest of the folks of Radiator Springs, as well as meet some new faces if he wants to win for real this time!
Story Mode levels
Chapter 1
* Radiator Springs Grand Prix: In what is later revealed to be a dream, Lightning races against Doc, Sally, Ramone, and a British car named Fletcher. Mater does commentary for the race.
* Lizzie's Postcard Hunt: McQueen accidentally turns on a fan in Lizzie's shop, sending her 60-year-old postcard collection flying out the window. Throughout the rest of the game, McQueen can find and retrieve the cards, of which there are are 20 total.
* Radiator Cap Circuit: Fletcher and Gerald, racers from Britain, and El Guapo and Papo, racers from Mexico, all challenge McQueen to a race around Radiator Springs. Interestingly, this appears to be Fletcher and McQueen's first meeting, despite McQueen's having dreamed of Fletcher the previous night.
* Tractor Tipping: A mini-game in which Lightning and Mater go out tractor tipping, despite risk of being caught by Frank.
* Sally's Sunshine Circuit: The groupie twins, Mia and Tia, want to drive with Lightning. Sally challenges them to a race; the winner will drive with Lightning. Flo also races. The level is played as Sally.
* Doc's Lesson: Powerslide: Doc trains McQueen to powerslide (i.e. turn right to go left) around Willy's Butte.
* Doc's Challenge: Doc and McQueen race around a track which is considerably more challenging than a circle around Willy's Butte. After the race, McQueen noticed Chick Hicks spying on him, which Doc guesses is so that he can pick up a few strategies from McQueen.
* Palm Mile Speedway: The first Piston Cup race.
Chapter 2
* Luigi to the Rescue: McQueen informs Luigi that there are some tires lying around all over town. Luigi sets out to collect them.
* Boostin' with Fillmore: McQueen tastes some of Fillmore's Super-Octane Boost Juice and inquires if it could help him go faster. To test it, they race around town. Ramone, Tia, and Mia also participate in the race. When the race is over, McQueen gets permanently equipped with a boost tank, which can speed him up to a limited extent.
* North Desert Dash: El Guapo and Papo boast about their new gold rims. The taunting soon inspires Fletcher and Gerald to race them. McQueen also participates.
* Sarge's Boot Camp: McQueen runs an obstacle course designed to make him more agile off-road.
* Sarge's Off-Road Challenge: Sarge forces a tired and overheated McQueen into a long off-road race. Ramone, Fillmore, and Sheriff also race.
* Motor Speedway of the South: The second Piston Cup Race (also known as the Dinoco 400)
Chapter 3
* Mater's Backwards Lesson: Mater teaches McQueen to drive backwards.
* Sheriff's Chase: McQueen and Sheriff reminisce about their chase scene from the movie. McQueen notes that he was only caught because of he got tangled in barbed wire and telephone wires. Sheriff asks him if he'd like a rematch, and McQueen accepts. The two of them do a single-lap, one-on-one race.
* Sheriff's Hot Pursuit: Sheriff chases speeders. The mini-game has five levels: Speeders (Fletcher, Gerald, and Mia), Hooligans (El Guapo, Tia, and Barry), Road Hazards (Snot Rod, Papo, and Lenny), Delinquents (DJ, Wingo, and Sonny), and Hot Rodders (Vince, Boost, and Chick Hicks).
* Rustbucket Race-O-Rama: In Ornament Valley, a previously broken-down racing arena called Rustbucket is the site of a demolition derby known as the Rustbucket Race-O-Rama. Mater races, along with six cars who are just as rusty and beaten-up as he is: Zeke, Lewis, Buford, Cletus, Judd, and his long-lost cousin Tommy Joe. When Mater wins the race, he is awarded with a boost tank, which he gives as a present to McQueen. The boost now lasts longer.
* Ornament Valley Circuit: Four racecars from New York (Vince, Barry, Sonny, and Lenny) challenge Lightning to a race around Ornament Valley.
* Sun Valley International Speedway: The third Piston Cup race.
Chapter 4
* Sally's Wheel Well Sprint: Sally and McQueen race from town, through Tailfin Pass, to the Wheel Well Motel.
* Doc's Check-Up: Doc gives McQueen a check-up, which is concluded by the two of them, as well as Ramone, Fillmore, and Sheriff, racing around town.
* Tailfin Pass Circuit: McQueen, Fletcher, El Guapo, Vince, and Sonny race around Tailfin Pass.
* Delinquent Road Hazards: Boost, Wingo, DJ, and Snot Rod, the tuner cars who appeared briefly in the movie, refuse to let McQueen pass, stating that the road is closed to him specifically. McQueen challenges them to a race, saying that when he wins, he will be allowed to pass. When Lightning demands that one of Boost's tanks be thrown into the deal, they become determined to win. When McQueen wins, Boost gives him a tank, says "This isn't over, McQueen!", and drives away with the rest of the gang close behind.
* Monster Truck Mayhem: Luigi outfits McQueen with monster truck suspension so that he can race with three ugly-looking monster trucks, Count Spatula, Ginormous, and The Crippler.
* Chick's Challenge: Chick Hicks appears in Ornament Valley and challenges McQueen to a race, in which Vince, Barry, and Sonny also participate. When Lightning wins, he says that he'll be seeing Chick on the track for the upcoming Piston Cup race. Chick replies "Yeah, I'll see ya, if you ever make it there." and speeds away, leaving McQueen puzzled.
* High Speed Heist: When Mack is on the Interstate, the Delinquent Road Hazards rob him of McQueen's gear. First, DJ locates him and plays soothing music to get him to sleep. Then, Boost follows, jumping onto the roof of Mack's trailer via a movable ramp that is towed by Snot Rod. Boost opens Mack's trailer, and Wingo collects all of Lightning's supplies.
* Lightning Strikes Back: Mack calls and tells Sheriff about the robbery. Lightning goes onto the Interstate and collects his gear back from the DRH, heavily denting them in the process. They get locked in the impound and confess that Chick hired them.
* Smasherville International Speedway: The fourth Piston Cup race. When Lightning wins, Chick is outraged. Lightning offers a rematch, which Chick gladly accepts. Darrell Cartrip suggests that they have a televised grudge match. Lightning recalls his dream from the beginning of the game and suggests that there be a Radiator Springs Grand Prix: three races, each in a different part of Ornament Valley.
Chapter 5
* Radiator Springs Grand Prix: Mater and Darrell commentate a longer, harder version of the race in Lightning's dream, which Lightning races against Chick, Fletcher, Gerald, and El Guapo.
* Tailfin Pass Grand Prix: A complicated, dangerous race around Tailfin Pass. Vince replaces Fletcher as the fifth racer.
* Ornament Valley Grand Prix: After a boring interview with Vince, the final race of the Grand Prix takes place. Vince, Barry, and Sonny race along with McQueen and Chick.
* Los Angeles International Speedway: The final Piston Cup race, in which Lightning wins his Piston Cup. To celebrate, he, Mater, and Sally go on a cross-county road trip. McQueen places his Piston Cup in the window of Doc's clinic, alongside Doc's three Piston Cups.
