Hot Wheels World Race is a racing video game developed by Climax Group and published by THQ. The game is based on the movie 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 movie to coincide with the 35th anniversary of the creation of the franchise. The game was released in 2003.
The gameplay of World Race is similar to many other racing games. Players can do special tricks when in the air, which adds on to the players' 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.
The game received "mixed" reviews on all platforms except the Game Boy Advance version, which received "generally unfavorable reviews", according to video game review aggregator Metacritic.
