Cars: Mater-National for Game Boy Advance continues the lighthearted racing introduced in the first Cars video game on the handheld. Mater-National features 18 hazard-filled tracks in and around Radiator Springs, and a total of eight playable vehicles. Lightning McQueen has entered the first annual Mater-National Race Festival along with such familiar characters as Emma, Otto, Koji, Sheriff, and Gudmund. The heart of the game is the single-player Story Mode, where players will compete in a series of races to win the Mater-National. By achieving certain milestones, players can unlock additional modes and mini-games.
