Can’t wait for you to cover the cars leapfrog games!

Fun fact, today, even though the game is almost 13 years old, Cars 2’s DSI SPY CAMERA still works! Yes, 13 years later, the DSI’s cameras still are able to read the QR codes for the extra unlocks. I recently did this with my Mario 25th Anniversary Edition DSI XL with my copy of Cars 2 so I could finish my Character/Paintjob collection. Only thing that doesn’t work is the “World Of Cars” online feature as the servers have long since been shut down. (June 21st is Cars 2 DS’ release date for those wondering)

Fun fact: The ds version of cars 2 was made using an early version of the movie. That's why there's tracks in France and Germany as they were planned for the movie.

Cars 2 on DS looks much more impressive than the PSP version...

In 2007 my dad was deployed over seas for a year. He knew I loved cars so he somehow managed to find cars matornational for ds and mailed it to me. Played that game so much and remember loving it. Glad to hear it wasn't actually a dumpster fire lol

Here's a story about the 1st Cars game;

When I was 7-8 (2011), I was in a K-mart with my aunt, and we were looking for a DS game to give me for Christmas. We found Cars, and it was marked below $10 on clearance, and since I didn't have too many DS games at the time I jumped at the opportunity, given that I grew up with Cars on the PS2 (which I still love to this day, despite the wonky controls and physics). So, you can probably imagine my disappointment when I found out it was just nothing but minigames. Needless to say, I never bought clearance games at K-mart ever again

I had Maternational as a kid and hearing that title screen music brought back childhood memories I had completely forgotten about

8:58 THUNDER!!!!!!! KA-CHICKA‼️ KA-CHICKA‼️

0:46 I was so disappointed as a kid when I found out the cars 1 game didn’t have racing 😭always thought I was doing something wrong when I couldn’t find a race type game

I forgot to mention this on your Cars 2 video, but the story of the Cars 2 video game on the home consoles does not follow the movie in any way. The game has one of those weird stories that happens after the film. Despite where the film ends, it makes no sense for what is happening.

Cars 2 DS was my favorite DS game growing up. I always wanted to unlock all of the paint schemes and characters, so I would search the 2011 internet for any leads I could find. I never could get everything unlocked.

As someone who've played the Cars 2 DS Game as a kid, you got most of the points right. The missions were so hard that I was unable to complete it when I was young. The special moves were... something, and the races were probably the "best" part of the game.

I got hit with a massive wave of nostalgia when you went onto cars maternational because that was the first game i ever played

I grew up with the Cars 2 Videogame on DS, it was great when I played it

I don't know if the other cars games sold well but by the time cars 2 on DS came out, my local worten had an entire shelf unit covered in cars 2. Not a shelf. A shelf UNIT. Those 6-foot long metal stands with 4 whole shelves up and down, the entire thing covered with cars 2 for DS. I'm sure they sold it all.

I had Cars 2 and Race-O-Rama on the DS growing up, I can still hear the menu theme and the loud vroom noise whenever you press anything 😭

On the Race-O-Rama there is a shortcut on the track I found out years ago. Track is Santa Carburera 3, before that you can get inflatable tires, there is a corner on middle of track where you are supposed to take tight left turn, straight and the loop around. You can bypass that by taking tight right turn and just going straight.

EDIT: Huge nostalgia from this video, I had all the Cars games for DS.

Cars Maternational for the ds was actually the first video game I ever played.

I grew up with cars 2 on ds thanks for the nostalgia!

Mater National on DS was a gem. Challenge Mode was indeed challenging but it would boot you back to story mode
