Play Cars (U)(Trashman) Online

Cars for the Game Boy Advance came out in 2006, published by THQ. It was one of many licensed games from that era, built to tie in with the Pixar film, and it fit right in with the portable library of its time.

You control Lightning McQueen, racing on tracks that recreate locations from the movie. The main goal is to win cups by finishing first in a series of races. You use a turbo boost earned by drifting, and you also engage in simple minigames between races, like a tire change challenge. The racing feels a bit loose, and the difficulty can spike unexpectedly on later courses. It captures the straightforward, sometimes clunky fun of a portable movie adaptation.
