Play 2 in 1 - Hot Wheels - Velocity X & Hot Wheels - World Race (U)(Trashman) Online

I picked up this 2 in 1 Hot Wheels cartridge for the Game Boy Advance, a double feature that packs both Velocity X and World Race into one release. It came out in the early 2000s, a time when handheld racers were everywhere, and this one was published by THQ. The cart doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel; it just gives you two distinct ways to burn rubber on the go.

In World Race, you control a selection of Hot Wheels cars across straightforward arcade tracks, weaving through traffic and trying to hit first place before time runs out. Velocity X mixes things up with mission based objectives; you might need to magnetically tow cargo, perform precise jumps, or hunt down specific targets. The controls are simple, the cars respawn quickly after crashes, and the pace stays brisk even on the small screen. It feels like playing with toy cars come to life, fast and forgiving enough to keep you racing without too much frustration.
