If you thought the Ultimate Garage
couldn't get any more ultimate...

Mac's trying a 720 daredevil twist.

No one's ever landed this stunt.

Will Mac be the first? Let's watch.

'Cause things are about to get epic.

Can I go yet?

My butt's starting to
fall asleep in this seat.

[epic music playing]

-[engine revving]
-[tire squealing]

Yeah!

[cheering]

[Spark] Congratulations!

Let's see how I did on the stunt board.

Whoa, the score has
never gone this high before.

Nothin' scares this dude.

[Spark] What's happening?

[electricity crackling]

[high-pitch scream]

Uh, that was a victory scream.

For landing that sweet stunt.

Yes, Squeakers, you were right.

Installing a power generator
in the Ultimate Garage was very smart.

Everything okay?

[Speedy Getaway] Breaking news:
Things are not okay.

The powers off across the city

and my phone is at 10% battery.

Oh, and every traffic light is out.

If the power isn't turned back on soon,

Hot Wheels City could become
a parking lot forever.

Ahhh! Now I'm at five-percent.

We can't let the city become
an oversized parking lot.

Dash, how can we help?

[beeping]

In order to restart the power,
you'll need to turn on a generator

in the tunnels underneath the city.

You can do this by driving your
cars onto the parking pads.

But all six of you need to activate
one of these pads if you're gonna succeed.

All right racers, you heard Dash.

It looks like we're all heading to
the tunnels to turn that generator on.

Wait. Tunnels? Like, in the dark?

[gulping]

[creepy music playing]

What's going on, Mac?

Okay, okay. The truth is...

I'm...

[sighs] ...afraid of the dark.

I didn't wanna tell you since
all of you look at me

like this totally brave
daredevil dude, but...

I understand if you think I'm a wimp.

[sighs] It's okay to be scared.
We're all afraid of something.

Brights is correct.

I'm afraid of getting a bad grade.

And I'm scared of small spaces.

I'm afraid of those inflatable
dancing things at car dealerships.

They're always waving. Uhhh!

And I have a crippling fear
that I'll disappoint my family

by not living up to my father's
championship legacy.

[crickets chirping]

[clears throat] But, um, less
talking, more racing.

We got a city to save.

I wanna help, but I don't know

if I can face my fear of the dark.

It's why I use my yellow duck
night light when I go to bed.

Hold the motor oil.

The Ultimate Garage has a yellow duck car.

What if we turn it into a night light?

Ooh, let me ask.

-Squeakers!
-[Squeakers chirps, revs]

Beep. Boop, oop.

Beep, beep, ooooop.

That's robot speak for

"Can we make our cars glow in the dark?"

[chirping affirmatively]

Dude! I can totally be
part of the challenge

if I'm driving a racer
that glows in the dark.

Ooh, a Glow Racer.

That's gonna stick.

Let's gear up for real this time.

[all] Challenge accepted!

[upbeat music playing]

We need cars that can
light up the dark tunnels.

I want a car that'll help
me face my fear of the dark

and look like my night light.

I choose the Duck N' Roll Glow Racer.

I choose the Shark Bite Glow Racer.

I choose the Rodger Dodger Glow Racer.

I choose the Rocket Fire Glow Racer.

I choose the Hi-Roller Glow Racer.

I choose the Rip Rod Glow Racer.

[engines roaring]

The tunnels are up ahead.

Whoo!

This Glow Racer actually makes
racing in the dark really fun.

Racers, we need you to hurry.

This gridlock keeps getting worse.

The traffic lights are still out
and the cars have nowhere to go.

-You have to get that generator back on.
-We're on it, Dash.

Yes, the generator.

Quick, onto the parking pads.

We need to rev our engines
and restart that generator.

[engine revving]

[electricity crackling]

Whoo! We did it.

Ah, yeah! That was awesome.

Whoo, nice.

Yeah, We had it in the bag.

What is the deal? We drove on the pads,

so, why isn't the generator on?

It looks like there's one
last switch on the very top.

But no one can get up there.
It's impossible.

According to my calculations,
there's one way to get on top

By performing a 720 Daredevil Twist.

Don't look at me.

I did it once, and that was in the light.

But in the history of Hot Wheels City,

you're the only one
who's ever landed that stunt.

[sighs] Okay.

Let's light it up.

-[upbeat music playing]
-[car squeaking]

Quack Light... activate!

Go, Hot Wheels!

[gasping]

[clicking]

[electricity crackling]

[engine revving]

-Yeah.
-Yeah!

Way to go.

Hot Wheels City is back to normal.

And creating those Glow Racers?

Fantastic idea.

It was all Mac.

He gave us the idea for the Glow Racers.

And nailed a 720 Daredevil Twist.
In the dark.

A 720 Daredevil Twist?

Whoo! Epic.

I was always too afraid to attempt
that stunt back in my day.

Mac, because of your bravery,
I think you deserve...

Your boy got a Flame Badge.

Yeah!

[racers cheering, exclaiming]

Hot Wheels City is lit.

For real.

Thanks, guys.

I would have never faced
my fears without your help.

And, in the end, I learned there was
nothing to be afraid of.

[Sidecar] Ahh, an inflatable
car dealership thingy!

[announcer] Coming up next,
this sweet street racer

drifts like a champ.

[all] I choose the Mad Manga.

♪ Hot wheels, let's race ♪

[epic music playing]

[Dash] Okay, campers, today's challenge

puts a Hot Wheels twist on a
classic camp activity.

S'mores! I knew it.

Don't worry, dudes,
I always come prepared.

Tasty as that sounds, Mac,
this challenge is even sweeter.

Get pumped for a scavenger stunt hunt.

Today, you and your partner
will perform stunts around the city.

When you complete the stunt,
you'll get a flag.

That flag will tell you where
to go for your next stunt.

Whoever gets three flags first, wins.

Then, can we have s'mores?

This is your last chance to earn
a Flame Badge before the next race.

And trust me, you'll want the advantage

that comes with being on
top of the leaderboard.

I gotta get this Flame Badge.

Since today is a partner challenge,

you must trust
your teammate if you wanna win.

Squeakers, assemble the groups, please.

-[revving]
-Woo-hoo!

[chirping, beeping]

Sidecar? You gotta be kidding.

Hey, Coop, I know
I'm usually Axle's best bud

but today I'm your best bud.

You got nothing to worry about. Up top!

I wasn't worried until
you told me not to be worried.

Get revved up.

Stunt hunters,
today's challenge starts now.

[all] Challenge accepted!

I choose the GT-Scorcher.

I choose the Bad to the Blade.

I choose the Shark Bite.

I choose the RocketFire.

I choose the Baja Jump Truck.

I choose the Mad Manga.

[engines roaring]

What was that? Some kind of signal?

I won't let Sidecar help Axle
stop me from winning that badge.

Axle, follow my lead
and we'll have a 94% chance of success.

[chiming]

[cheering]

Who got the flag? We got the flag.

Way to go, partner.

The flag says the next stunt spot
is at the carwash.

If I had a partner like Spark,
I would be winning right now.

Hey, you wanna be the base or the flyer?

I think I should grab the flag.

Let's go on three... two...

Coop!

Coop, I didn't say "one."

He's not gonna make it.

Don't worry, Coop, I got you, partner.

Whoa!

[chiming]

[thudding]

You bumped me on purpose.

I was trying to help you.

Hey! Wait for...

me.

-[Mac] Best partner ever.
-[Brights] We're the best team.

[chiming]

-[Spark] Yes!
-[Axle] Whoo!

Let's go!

Pfft! I don't need
Sidecar's help getting that flag.

Don't worry, Coop,
your partner is coming in hot.

Not this time, Sidecar.

Whoa!

[chiming]

Ahh! You made me wipe out.

No, it... it was an accident.

Yeah, right. I'm not buying it.

Sidecar, I know you're helping Axle.

You're supposed to be helping me.

Ah, you're talking cuckoo, Coop.
I got us a flag.

How does that help him?

And where are you even goin'?

You do realize I'm the one holding

the flag with the location to
the last stunt spot, right?

[cheering]

[Brights] We're doing it!

Now we're in last.

Well, we wouldn't be losing if we stopped
arguing about why we're losing.

Ah, that made my brain hurt.

If we wanna win the challenge,
you have to trust me.

But that decision is ultimately up to you.

Whoa. That last flag
is being guarded by that giant bug.

Actually, Mac, spiders aren't bugs.
They're part of the...

No time for a science lesson, Spark.
Each team has two flags.

Whoever grabs that third flag
wins the challenge.

Let's go!

[mechanical whirring]

[gasping]

Ah!

[Axle groaning]

It's our turn, Mac.

Where are you, Coop?

I guess I'll just do this alone.

Coop! You came back.

I didn't doubt you for a second.

Well, o-okay, maybe a few seconds.

W-Well, three seconds, max.

I'm sorry I doubted you, Sidecar.
I know you were just trying to help me.

Now, what's the plan, partner?

[Mac] Whoa!

[mechanical hissing]

This stunt is impossible.

Not really. The spider's head takes
three seconds to reload the web.

You just have to be quick enough
to avoid the next blast.

Well, if it's speed we need
the GT-Scorcher can do the job.

Hmm, speed could work,
but drifting could work even better.

The only question is...

do you trust me?

I do, partner.

I'll distract the spider
while you grab the flag.

Ah, yeah. It's driftin' time, y'all.

Manga Drift, activate. Go, Hot Wheels!

[engine charging]

[tires squealing]

Hey, Mr. Spider, over here.

Get 'em, Sidecar.

[chiming]

Oh, yeah!

Yeah! Woo-hoo!

-Awesome.
-[cheering]

[Spark] Way to go, guys. Good job.

Great work, campers.

Coop, Sidecar,
this was an exercise in trust

and you two nailed it.

Congratulations, you both
earned yourselves a Flame Badge.

-[Coop] Oh, yeah.
-[cheering]

[Spark] Nice going, Coop.

You're all tied up with Axle now.

The credit all goes to this guy.

No way I could've won without him.

Yeah, great job, Sidecar.

Thanks for trusting me today, Coop.
It really meant a lot.

But at the next race...

y'all are gonna get toasted. Ha!

[laughs] Whoo!

Hmm... that reminds me,

a hot car hood is a perfect way
to sizzle up some s'mores.

[squishing]

Guess they got smushed on the drive back.

[laughing]

Oh, well.

Mm.

[announcer] It smashes, it bashes,
and its coming up next.

[all] I choose the Skull Crusher!
