Can’t wait for you to cover the cars leapfrog games!
I didn't even know that was a thing 😂😭
@@KLEJGaming And let's not forget the V. Smile and V. Flash games, too (both of these games were licensed by VTech)
@@Scrat-rs5ud Seems like I've got work to do!
@@KLEJGaming In fact, Cars 2 (released in 2011) was the final game for both Leapfrog's original Leapster (debuted in 2003) and VTech's V Smile (debuted in 2004)
BRO THAT WAS MY CHILDHOOD
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)
Okay that's actually really cool wtf, I saw it was DSI enhanced I didn't realise that's what it was!!!
I can back you up on that, my DSi XL that i’ve had for years still scans those QR Codes and they still work. Anyone can find them on wiki pages if you search it up
Yeah, I had the game since release and as a kid I never got to 100% the game cause of the qr codes. Fast-forward to current day and I found the codes on some random forum and finally unlocked the missing characters
Also, if you play the game on a ds or ds lite it will ask for a password instead. This method is probably better because the passwords are way easier to find
Yes unfortunately the only skins you can’t get are the country themed ones, which I don’t think it’s documented anywhere, but again I think they were to be obtained in World Of Cars Online, which no longer works now.
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.
OHHHHHH okay that's very cool
Wow, now that I know this im disappointed they never made it in, it probably would have been better due to more racing, which is what people wanted
I had Maternational as a kid and hearing that title screen music brought back childhood memories I had completely forgotten about
Mater-national music goes hard
Honestly that gave me chills when I heard it
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
you got the 2nd best version of cars.
bought sims 3 pets for the 360 at kmart on clearance and ended up profiting somehow
No keep buying them. There are some real treasures out there to get, and some of them might be worth something in the future.
Emulate them since it can run on a poor computer. Plus you can up the resolution and play the game at a higher quality.
Plus it's the only real way to preserve the experience since Nintendo won't bring it back in a convenient way
Cars 2 on DS looks much more impressive than the PSP version...
It was also on 3ds
@@edwardsaldana2534yeah, though it was a mildly better looking version, they didn’t do much different from the DS Version
I wonder why the DS/3DS version couldn't be ported to PSP.
I am so looking forward to playing all the PSP versions
@@Mandarin9900idk why
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
That's such a nice memory to have!!! And the game is pretty good!!
I think I still have my copy of maternational
i wish i had that 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.
Yeah that makes a lot of sense now, weird how games used to do that a lot
@@KLEJGaming it's done for two reasons: not spoil the movie and/or because it was made (and released, in case of Cars 1!) before the movie
12:18 The DS version of Cars 2 was made by Firebrand games who also made DS versions of Grid, Dirt 2, NFS Undercover and Nitro
They also made the 3DS version which is the same game but with better graphics
Thank you!!! I misread the pages when I was researching ❤️
Nitro was one of the first DS games i played, later i had a 3DS and got Cars 2, I always thought it reminded me of Nitro and now I know why!
@@maspunchnath7487same here, ended up playing both games on the Nintendo Ds and right away ended up noticing some similarities, what with the way both games handle, and some of the sound effects used.
@@swinelias Yes! I remember the minigames where you collect or break things were pretty much the same in both games
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.
That's insane hahaha
I grew up with the Cars 2 Videogame on DS, it was great when I played it
Me too. I don't know why he said it was weird to him.
Me three. Maybe it's just my nostalgia blinding me, but for what it's worth, I at least remember having fun playing this game (and the Wii version too), and to the point of almost unlocking everything in it (saying almost since thanks to some things either having to be unlocked through some cheat codes, or just straight up never knowing what I was actually supposed to do to unlock all of the other things. At least the Wii version did show how to unlock every character there). At the very least, I would say that I'm glad I didn't get the Ds version of the first movie game.
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 remember getting stuck in that one mall segment with Mater. I think it took place right before the London race?
"stroke the cars" no diddy🤨
😂😂😂
8:58 THUNDER!!!!!!! KA-CHICKA‼️ KA-CHICKA‼️
Cars Maternational for the ds was actually the first video game I ever played.
GOOD CHOICE
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.
Ooooo okay that's cool!!!
Mater National on DS was a gem. Challenge Mode was indeed challenging but it would boot you back to story mode
Agreed
I had cars and cars raceorama as a kid and I remember I hated playing cars but would spend hours trying to break raceorama out of bounds
That's very cool
Still have my 2 copies of MaterNational, Race-O-Rama, and Cars 2. MaterNational Championship is my favorite of the Cars “DS” lineup. I’ve 100%ed it four times. Still play it daily as well. Two of these games aren’t weird either, they are proper ds games. (Those being MaterNational and Cars 2).
I must say, Race-O-Rama’s physics are totally fucked, the AI are hilariously horrible (they will literally drive off the maps half the time) and the “postcard” challenges are horribly implemented in some of the maps.
EDIT: *FINALLY 100%ED RACE-O-RAMA FOR DS ON JUNE 22ND, TOOK ME 15 YEARS, FINALLY DONE!* 🤣🤣
Also for its time, MaterNational having a actual 3D cutscene with voices at the beginning and end was rather impressive for the DS back in 2007. I don’t know why they didn’t revisit this when they developed Race-O-Rama. But they did bring it back for Car 2 (albeit using the vanilla character designs).
I remember playing the original Cars game and Race o Rama on my R4 as a kid. I have since found a complete copy of Race-O-Rama for $4 on eBay (inc shipping) and have since replayed that to completion.
That's very cool!!
@@KLEJGaming i have played cars 2 on xbox 360 i haven't played any of the cars games on ds
I still contest that the handheld tie-ins of some movies are better than their console counterparts.
Not always, but usually.
Yeah agreed
I have good memories of the Cars 2 game on the DS
My dad literally found it on the road while at work, so for a game I got for free, it was fantastic
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.
Best cars classic Game design? Cars: MaterNational better than race o rama.
- Skins & new maps
- New Characters
- New Race Championship
- Many Variations of the shortcuts
- Level design
- Visual environment
- References to The film
- Handling & Brake system
- Different custom races
Who more?
I got cars 2 on ds new because at walmart i wanted to buy super mario maker for 3ds but it was too expensive so i settled for that and i didn't finish it for 4 years until i did and sold it for $2 credit at a game store and bought a togepi sticker with it. I dont even like togepi but i got more joy out of the sticker than i did the game
HAH that's an incredible story thank you
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 😭
The beloved VROOM 😂
YOOOOOOO I PLAYED THESE GRIMY OLD DS GAMES!!! Glad you’re mentioning them!!!
'Grimy old DS games', that's such a good description 😂👌🏼
Literally perfect way to summarise them
Back when I was a kid I wanted every version of all the Cars games because I knew how different they were so I owned the Wii, GBA, and DS versions of Cars 1, and Maternational. The DS and Xbox 360 version of Cars 2, and only the Wii version of Race o Rama. I also had the PC version of Cars 1 but I could never get it to work on my old Windows XP computer lmfao and I later got (and plan to get the rest) of the Xbox 360 ports of all the games since they're the HD versions. Even though Cars 1 on DS is only a minigame collection and not really that great, I still think the models and graphics have a lot of charm. Maternational was actually a fun time. I never played a ton of the DS version of Cars 2 but enjoyed what I played, and I've never played the DS version of Race o Rama
That's very cool that you had so many versions!! I do agree about cars 1 ds, graphics wise it looks really good!
I actually remember playing the first Card game for the DS. That was actually has some nostalgia for me.
I'm glad you've got nostalgia for it!
I absolutely loved maternational as a kid, 100%ed the game on my dsi multiple times, so i got some major nostalgia when this video hit my recommended
I also have the wii version of race-o-rama, which is darn good fun too.
Cars 2 on the DS is goated. It covers the two missing races from the WGP and more spy background stuff.
Overallz great game 10/10
I'm glad you like it!! I really like what it was going for
I grew up on the cars 2 3ds game and i will forever love it no matter what
Awesome!!!
You know the original ds cars 1 game had some crazy model work tho.
I have such a big nostalgic feeling about the two first ones!
The 3DS version of Cars 2 is a improved version of the DS version. The controls are better, the Graphics are a bit better as well, but overhaul, it's the same exact game.
One thing that I love about the DS/3DS version of Cars 2 is that it uses scraped races that would have been in the Movie. The Movie has 3 big races. Towkyo, Porto Corsa and England (yes, this is how they are called in the movie). Well, if you look at the Movie concepts and discarted scenes, the movie would actually have 2 more races. One in Germany, being a 24 hour long race, and one in France. The movie would also focus more in the races, even with the Spy stuff still there.
The DS version actually bring back the Germany and France races, and that makes me love this game way more than I'm supposed to. It kinda makes me wish that the Movie had them.
Yeah that's very cool! The 3DS didn't just have a dpad either so that's a win
dang, now I want to pull out my old ds and boot up mater-national, so many good memories of that game. I remember really loving playing as the police car, and trying to unlock more cars. also, busting through those cones never got old. great times all around
Get that ds out!!
why do I feel like memories are being unlocked
Damn that's cool
I’ll never forget playing cars on the DS and PS2 making characters into monster trucks.
The first cars game I grew up with was on the Nintendo GameCube A+ game for me that came out in the year 2006 and I still play that game to this day
Yoo, I always challanged myself to win the Cars 1 Piston Cup Races by killing Chick Hicks, which is actually a thing! :D Fun times!
HAH that's fantastic
Yoo I remember my dad buying me cars 2 when I was like 6 and it feels weird to see this game again and an actual review on it!
Woah that's cool!!!
I _distinctly_ remember having the OG Cars DS game. All I really remember though was staring at a stoplight and not knowing jack shit of how it worked. I should mention I was like 3 but still
cars mater national was kino cus i could make any racer i wanted to die permanently and pretty much never catch up
12:51 I had this game but I enjoyed it.
I couldn’t get the hang of it but it somehow got it good.
Cars 1 on PS2 and PC are still the best cars game ever made. Racing for the piston cup is so far amazing.
I bloody love it
Excepting racing in a Game about cars 2 and Being disappointed it's not there is like going to a pizza joint and asking for ramen
HAH true
The first game covered was a favorite for me in my DS since it was just fast and easy to play; something you’d want on mobile
Oh that's cool, yeah it'd be good on mobile
I played the OG cars DS game sooo much. I have dreams of the movie theatre puzzle game haha😊
Oh damn that's cool!!!
FINALLY A GOOD REVIEW ON DS, this video was needing to be made for 10 years bruh and you did it, maters ds game was so good with all the shortcuts n unlocks
THANK YOU!! ❤️ Yeah mater-national ds was unironically good
I spent way too many hours on the Cars 2 game as a kid lol
I really loved playing the GBA game. Other than that, I played all the DS games except the Race-o-rama one, because I literally didn´t know there was a handheld version of that game.
Oh that's so cool!!
Lowpoly, DS Snotrod lives rent free in my head
As he should
I’ve played the first 2 games as a kid and looking at the footage made me smile so much❤
I'm glad you enjoyed seeing these games again!!
I played cars 2 on the 3ds a lot, and one thing i hated was in the basic race mode, all of the cars would just explode, and go super slow mid race so your chance of winning was really bad rng
Ah okay that's very frustrating
@@KLEJGaming it was a while ago, but im pretty sure it being tied to some mechanic with the death camera like in the movies. There was a way to fix it in game but i wasnt good enough for that
you missed one for the first cars game, guido flipping tires to make a very tall tower of tires
MY FUCKIN CHILDHOOD RIGHT HERE, THE NOSTALGIA
WAHEY
Cars was my very first Nintendo DS game
Awesome!
I'm so glad youtube is recommending me this small creators with alot of potential you sir have a new sub keep up the great content
Woah thank you!!!!
Cars on gamecube had such a fun map to drive around
Race o Rama was my child hood
WOAH awesome
I remember playing cars 2 on my ds alllllll day and if I’m not mistaken they had a co-op mode
Yes they did
I never played the DS version of Cars but it seems like that I missed nothing important. I was really surprised that this game is just a mini game collection. I know that the home console versions of Cars also had that and they we're also pretty good but this wasn't the entire game. I thought that the GBA version isn't good but this video completely changed my mind.
Maternational DS was the first DS game I've ever played and for me it's also better than the home console (and GBA) versions. The home console versions are different from the DS version and also have some good things but the DS version is still better especially when you sometimes need to drive completely other routes to unlock other things which I love. Besides Diddy Kong Racing I never saw such a mechanic before and I absolutely love this. This game could really hold up with Mario Kart DS and also the next Mario Kart game could use some of the things in Maternational DS for their own game.
To come back to Cars and Race O Rama. I never played any of the versions. I saw the Wii Version of this game but I didn't like the cover on it and so Race O Rama is the only Cars game where I never played any version of it. But from what I've seen on the DS version it looks pretty good. Not as good as Maternational DS but still way better than Cars DS.
And last but definitely not least Cars 2. I'm one of the few people who likes the film Cars 2 more than 1 and 3 and also the DS version of this game which I've played is pretty good. Not as good as Maternational DS but it's not bad and I had a lot of fun. The story is almost identical to the movie but just almost. For some reasons in the story mode of this game you have to race in France and Germany which weren't race tracks in the World Grand Prix in the movie. And this was never the case in the home console versions which I think doesn't even have a story mode and when than it isn't like in Cars 2 for DS. I also played the Wii version and I liked it more because here it was possible to collect weapons during a race and shoot at opponents which reminds me pretty much on Mario Kart Wii. I wished that the DS version also had this but sadly no. The DS version also has a different boost mechanic where you can fully charge your boost and than you can get a long boost where there are three different types which is also important for shortcuts. The first one is where you just jump in the air. The second one is where your character just drive on two side wheels just like in the home console versions of Cars where it's possible with a certain button combination. And there's also the third one which just boost normal but can break walls for some reason. And there's only one shortcut for a specific boost type which is pretty much op.
To rank the Cars DS games I would say: Maternational > Cars 2 > Race O Rama > Cars
Damn count me in the 6 weirdos that prefers Cars 2 over the other two films
@@PeruvianPotato No problem. I liked it that the second film is a bit different because tbh I wouldn't like the film that much when it's just about the Piston Cup again. Nothing against Cars 1 (I also like the film a lot) but I prefer Cars 2 a little more.
Man this was my childhood, I loved the Wii cars games the most, since those are the ones I’m the most familiar with, plus the gba version of cars ^^
I'm glad you enjoyed the Wii versions!!!
2 stories about the cars games:
1. I grew up with mater national. Amazing memories of that game. Although I couldn’t get all the medals.
2. There was a cars game on IOS from my childhood where you scan toy cars to play and I can’t never find it someone help me here
I will look into that IOS game
Cars 2 DS's Legacy will forever be the fact that song tracks from the game are in Sonic Omens for some reason...
That's such a random but cool fact 😂
The song in the intro is the song that plays when you select the italy map in cars 2 the video i know this because i had the game for the wii when i was a kid i have hours in that game i even found glithes that you can t find on youtube like a out of bounds glitch thanks KLEJ Gaming for the memories
btw the way cars meter bational for wii is the best on of the best games for the wii
Yeah I absolutely love that Italy map music it's so good, you're welcome!!!!
I have both cars raceorama and cars 2 on my DSi, plus cars 2 for the wii
I remember Cars 1 on the DS being my very first video games.
... I never got passed the first 3 minigames.
Oh damn well at least you have that cool memory
Before watching:
I only played Race O Rama and quite liked it back then. It was fun for me as a Cars hardcore fan. As a kid of 2004, Cars just was my childhood and I would not want to miss the show ever again.
Yeah, it seems like the games aren’t that bad. The first one is… weird? And Cars 2 had a nice approach. Race O Rama looked quite refined actually which is pretty cool, but I feel like the games are all in all quite okay. Not bad, not extremely good.
That’s more than I thought it would be.
I agree with everything you've said there hah
Gotta prepare myself. This video was made in the post-covid era, so you know your screen will be flooded with memes and random sound effects.
😂😂😂
All those games were absolute peak. I can't count how many hours I spent on those games back then.
That's awesome
Let's Streetpass together sometime! ❤
I played Race-O-Rama and 2 both at Xbox 360, have good memories about them, until my Cars 2 CD got corrupted.
I grew up with both Race-O-Rama and Cars 2 for the DS. I still have them to this day
Awesome!!!
I had and still have Cars DS as a kid. I hated it then; I hate it now. Thank you for shedding light on my struggles as a kid.
You're so welcome I'm sorry you had to go through that game
I have a lot of nostalgia for cars 1 on the ds as it was one of the first games on the DS I had
i had fun with the ds versions of cars 1 and 2 but especialy with cars 2
i still could play it
i love the three different versions of this game
like toy story 3 and the simpsons game
Now let's do all Transformers games for the DS
It is coming I promise
I'm away this week and already finished the video for this Friday (sonic & sega all stars racing)
But when I get back I will start working on that and the remaining cars games
3:39 I fucking adored this mini game and I liked the music too, i have so many memories of replaying this one segment over and over a million times
That's really cool that you have good memories with it!!!
"Stroke the car." - KLEJ Gaming
This will haunt me I fear
I think the reason Race O Rama DS looks so bad is cause they probably had separate teams working on them and given these are both 2007 games one of them had to take a hit
Yeah that makes sense
I believe I still have mater national both on the WII and DS, though I don’t know my DS version is
Oh awesome
Maternational is a real banger
ITALY RACE THE FIRST THING I HEAR THIS IS GONNA BE GOOD
ABSOLUTELY BANGING SONG
I grew up playing Mater national. Put an un healthy amount of hours into it
Very respectable
I had cars 2 ds as a kid and even back then it felt like a fever dream
Sums it up hahaha
Maternational was an important part of my early childhood.
Awesome!!
11:23 i grew up on this game, i remember that turn for some reason
Awesome!
I love 3D ds graphics!
They are cool
was praying that NFS Carbon Own the City would not end up here
😂😂
Mater National is my favorite DS game.
You know, I actually own the race-o-rama ds game and the original cars game for the ds as well. Man the nostalgia I get from those games...
That's awesome
@@KLEJGaming Yeah, Nowadays I don't have an urge to ply them, but when I do, the nostalgia flows through my veins like coca- I mean like my blood. Yeah...That's what I meant...
as a person who played the first 2 games, maternational is my favourite racing game n 100% was fun
Good choice
I don't know why, but I prefer the DS version of Cars Mater-National over the Console version. Maybe I didn't play it as much on the X360, but who knows. And there is a way to make the game hard on the DS, and that's by trying to 100% the game (with Champion mode). xD
Bro I was a beast at Cars 2 and the orange muscle car is indeed Snot Rod, but I personally call him just Rod(even tho there’s a character in the second movie by that name too)
Yeah rod works better
@@KLEJGaming Fr
i remember clocking maternational as a kid, interesting game
Yeah it was cool
Im so happy you played DS Mater National I freaking adore this game even now.
It was so good!!!
raceorama on the ds was my shit as a kid
I actually had the Cars 2 game and I had the Planes game. I never played either of them that much though, unfortunately
Oooo okay, I never really got into Planes I must say but that's cool
Mater-National was 1 of my favourite racing game on nds when m small but i swear they look better when m smaller
That's nostalgia for you
