Item Description

Rub a dusty race car clean with the stylus, sling Mater's tow hook, spin lug nuts off during a frantic pit stop: Cars on the Nintendo DS turns Radiator Springs into a box of touch-screen toys before it lets you anywhere near the Piston Cup. Developed by Helixe and published by THQ alongside Pixar's 2006 film, it is a very different game from the open-world console versions, built from the ground up around the DS.

The heart of it is a run of mini-games that pull straight from the movie's best moments. Fishin' Mater, World's Best Backwards Driver, That Blinkin' Light, Flo's Café, Luigi's Casa Della Tires and Hydraulic Jump Jam each give the stylus a new job, from tapping lights in sequence to tracing shapes and fueling up. Clear the first few and the Piston Cup opens, a series of ten progressively tougher rounds in which Lightning McQueen battles Chick Hicks for the championship, with familiar faces like Mater, Ramone, Guido and Snot Rod along for the ride. Races play out from an overhead view, and two players with their own cartridges can go head to head in the Piston Cup.

Critics were lukewarm on the racing depth, but the game's real audience was always younger players who wanted to spend more time with Lightning and Mater, and for them the variety of quick, movie-themed activities is the draw. The film's music and sharp, film-faithful visuals help the small screen feel like Radiator Springs.

Cars became one of Pixar's most enduring franchises, and this DS cartridge is a snapshot of where it started: the first film, the original Piston Cup chase and Mater's backwards driving lessons, playable on the handheld that a lot of young fans carried everywhere in 2006.
