I have been playing Hot Wheels lately and I get so excited I come to Pinside to keep the rush going. But I can't find the love for this game. There is the Challenge Accepted thread which is good but that is not enough. This game deserves much more.

This game is awesome, built like a tank, beautiful art, amazing light show, great sounds, call outs, fun rule set, family friendly theme beautifully executed. Hot Wheels comes loaded with skins (it even has a skin on the apron, has this happened on other games?) shaker motor etc...

I love this game and I can't believe this thing isn't the best selling game of the year, except for GnR & R&M. I believe that once the pandemic is gone and people get out and play this game they are gonna freak. This is truly the game that no one knows about, I hope they are still making them when it catches fire.

Now I'm not saying there isn't room for improvement (stock topper, silly spinning car, youtube videos come to mind) but these are a non-issue and you can't beat the value for the $ anywhere.

Can I get some love for this amazing pinball?

I think it is a great theme. Race cars, tachometers, tires burning rubber.

Growing up I played with Hot Wheels making tracks and loops and seeing how high you could start it without it falling off the track.
My parents also liked the track as it was easier to grab then a belt It hurts believe me.

Not to mention dream machines, cars that only exist imagination.

Hot Wheels are great.

How is this going to happen if they don't sell a ton of them?

I'm not comparing it to POTC but I bet a lot of people were planning on buying Pirates when the price came down.

Remember the whoosh of cars whizzing through the flexing track? It would be great to get this sound to play when you make that left orbit shot onto the ramp that feeds the right lane.

You can hear it in this video at 2:49

Just saying it is a visual cue that will help the player if they are interested in using it but if not they shouldn't worry that it will detract from the enjoyment of the game because it doesn't.

There are some great mods for this game too. Check these out.

This anti-rattle mod is almost a necessity especially at this price.

Hi Michael,
Thanks for a great game and for looking in on us out here. Having Company support in the forums is HUGE!

Here is a picture of the pinblades on the Hot Wheels Apron. Is this a first?

Has anyone tried using a Subwoofer on Hot Wheels?
Any suggestions on how to go about it. I am considering tapping the leads to the speaker in the cabinet with alligator clips.

There is a cool amp in the back box with a separate crossover and volume for the sub. I think you could unplug the in box sub and connect your external right there at the amp.
