I can confirm that Cars: Fast as Lighting is probably the best Cars game I've ever played other than Cars 2 on PS3 and 360. It's just SOOO FUN for a such a simple mobile game!
So a little info about the Cars Daredevil Garage app. The app shut down in 2017 cause it didn’t work, yes you can scan a car, but 70% of the time it will give you the wrong car. I scanned Lizzie and it gave me Guido. That’s basically the gist of it. Also you can’t customize tracks, your only given 3 tracks and have to pay for 2 more (there basically reskins). The community in 2016 hated the app and retaliated by starting off there video by wanting everyone to make a video deleting the app, which so many people did it. So eventually the app got taken down, and Mattel stopped promoting the app. Also what’s funny is the game was gonna add the Cars 3 diecast toys but never did.
Fr like I scanned Jeff gorvette and it always gave me the silver version of him lol It was so fun back in the day tho but it was always insanely broken and buggy. I actually still have it
This video brought back a lot of nostalgia for me. I used to see tons of ads for WGP Read & Race and the AppMATes, and I always wanted to play them. I used to play Fast as Lightning and Lightning League every weekend at my grandma's (may her tablet rest in peace), and I played a lot of Daredevil Garage on my aunt's phone. Hell, I even tried getting Fast as Lightning on my phone about a year ago, and it didn't work. As soon as we invent time travel, the first thing I'll do is attempt to preserve these mobile games.
Fast as lightning is my favorite not only because I played it a lot when I was younger but it was not bad, ok sure it is not as great as the 1st 3 Cars games and Cars 2 but all the content that was in the game like all the buildings, track parts and most importantly the paint jobs for all the characters went hard, it’s a shame it is no longer being supported
I'm really impressed by the first Java game! Also, it killed me seeing the kachiga meme in text. The toys to life stuff was pretty interesting, especially the one where you put the actual toy on your tablet (doesn't look *good*, but it's interesting), and I really want to know how on earth a Cars audio game is meant to work. And why it was even a thing 😂. Great video, as always!
I used to play the Appmates game on my old Ipad! I was lucky to own the Lightning McQueen toy but fun fact: if you didnt you could use an in-game paper cut-out of Lightning!
Cars: Fast as Lightning can still be played offline, you have to download cache files from...sources. The only problem is that you have to put the cache in the android/data folder, which is locked down on newer versions of android, so without adb or root it is more difficult to do. Another problem is that on android 14 and newer you have to modify the apk (or use the app "Install with options") to remove the minimum Android Sdk Requirement form the apk itself.
i have yet to understand everything you just said. ive tried the apk download for android but it never mainly because my phone was to up to date. could you help maybe? since you know more
man, seeing the cars 2 mobile game put a smile on my face. it's simple, looking back it may not be very good, but it's something i have nostalgia for. i haven't thought about it for probably a decade or longer, but i definitely recognize the gameplay when i see it. looks a lot worse than I remember though.
to me the footage looks kind of different from what I played? I remember some verticality in the gameplay, where you could get on different floors of under construction buildings, and the game shown seems linear, no path splits.
Man I played almost all of these. One of my favourites was the WGP Read Race one, since you could customize WGP cars. Plus if anyone again tries to get Cars Fast As Lighting even as APK, it’ll make you stuck on the downloading screen lol
Cars 2 Appmates was a massive part of my childhood, so there is someone in a rush to bring it back. That said, I dont know if I have the capability to do so. I DO have an ipad wit it installed, but I beleive the ipad is long dead.
The Cars 2 iOS app is so nostalgic to me because it was one of the 3 games loaded on the McDonald’s iPads (the other 2 were angry birds and angry birds rio)
I... Actually still play Fast As Lightning and Lightning League to this day. Don't ask me how I managed to make the games work, I don't remember anymore. But I downloaded it last year.
I dont remember exactly how i did it but a year or so ago i downloaden cars fast as lightning with someones playable server and i can now still play it
i remember good times playing cars lightning league, always tough it was really cool, nowdays i have personal gripe against the lightning mcqueen 3d model from that game
I Actually Have Both Read & Race and The AppMATes Apps Still Downloaded on my old ass Janky iPad, it’s nice to see that someone remember those even after such a long time
I've always been really interested in the Cars mobile games, especially Cars Fast As Lightning. I wish I actually played these games when they came out.
Gotta disagree with 4:02, Cars 2 java is one of my favorite mobile cars games, I played it for hours on my nokia during the childhood, I remember being so innocent that the gameplay of just going forward and defeating zundapp's henchmen would be fun as heck as well as using maters special abilities that would be unlocked in continuing levels, so much nostalgia I wish to download this game on my phone again, good times.
I actually have Cars Daredevil Garage still to this day on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I downloaded it 2016-2018 (I don't remember),on an iPhone 4,I had every singe character and tracks unlocked. And now that I recently reinstalled and found it. I can't even unlock the other 2 characters and tracks. MY GOD did this game age well!
@@CheeseManSonicFan Cool! I also have Cars Fast As Lightning on an old Spanish tablet (I don't the brand of the tablet,but what I do know is that it's an Android), You already know it gives the downloading content error but I still had fun doing the first few races. (This game isn't paywalling like the recent Gameloft games lol) This game is ICONIC.
Well their was mod cars: fast as lighting with unlimited coins and diamonds and don't have to worry about dealing download content loading screen so I suggest to try to get on modded one.
I wish i can play them i regret not getting them on my Apple ID because i created my Apple id after they been pulled out of the app store sometime i want to cry! 😢
i still play cars fast as lightning i downloaded a mod apk with an obb file and it was like a dream come true because when cars fast as lightning was avelable didnt know its even a thing but yeah its really fun to play
I hope Cars and Mater National on Java gets ported to Sega Genesis/Mega Drive Bootleg Cartridges. Also Cars Fast as Lightning was so peak back in the day, I sucked at it but I loved it and I remember when the main Cars 3 trailer came out in what? April 2017? That I wished they added Cruz and Jackson Storm to the game and I somehow didn’t notice it had long been delisted by that point.
