This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2022-12-01
Hot Wheels: Extreme Racing is a 2001 racing game for the Sony Playstation, based on the popular race car toy series. Within each race, the vehicles have the ability to transform into different types of engines, either useful for land, water, air, or all-terrain.
Using the Rollcage vehicle, and maxed-out speed options, somyeol ( tasvideos.org/... ) races though (or rather zips though) all possible cups in record time.

Always good to see racing game TASes. Or, rather, "making vehicles do things they were never meant to be able to do."

thanks to whomever tagged all the load times as intermissions on SponsorBlock! it's really tedious to do that, but these are so much better to watch without loading :)

This game is such a throwback for me, one of the first games I ever played on the PlayStation

[@NASCARFAN160]

Well hot damn, I was not expecting to see a task of one of my favorite racing games ever, and one of my favorite games from childhood!
Holy crap, built up explosions of speed a la Mario 64! Awesome!

[@perdu6603]

Level at 14:38 is non-stop craziness

[@spartanretro]

He’s just straight up bhopping through the level

[@BlazingDiancie]

Holy shit, didnt expect there to be a TAS of this.

Geez! I had no idea the PSX was capable of making sounds with a very high pitch.
Still, that was impresive how you were zipping.

[@thegoodA373]

Wow it's sooo fast, wait did they just got overlap??!!

[@josephjennings3146]

[@jeromerobinson4725]

This isn't actually a tas. Just some kids imagination we're seeing while he's playing with his hot wheels cars

[@jeromerobinson4725]

A true hot wheels car

[@edward9487]

This one's new.
*removes several seconds of driving*

[@edward9487]

Za Hando? Nah.
*snaps through existence*

[@PrettzL]

Neat.

[@AlmightyRager95]

Okay, I expect a bit of janky weirdness for the sake of speed with TASs, but this is a new one. What trickery did the programmer use here?

[@dantestriker7020]

I think if you use a Turbo Power Up while in the air, you carry momentum to the tyres, and then when the tyres touch the ground again it goes at speed of light

[@stevenpavelish6017]

Did the announcer just say the n word?

[@metallsnubben]

what even
