==Story==
==Gameplay==
[[Cruz Ramirez]] is dreaming of a street race in [[Radiator Springs]] while sleeping in the [[Cozy Cone Motel]], when she is woken by [[Sally Carrera]], who informs her that [[Lightning McQueen]] is waiting for her at [[Willy's Butte]], while a group of visitors have arrived in Radiator Springs, who are interested in racing Ramirez. Additionally, [[Tony (Cars 3)|Tony]] lectures Ramirez about getting practice for the upcoming [[Piston Cup Racing Series|Piston Cup]] season.

At the [[Willy's Butte]] oval, Lightning teaches Cruz how to [[Powerslide|powerslide]], and challenges her to a race immediately afterwards. Following their competition, the two spot [[Jackson Storm]] watching them from a distance, and he quickly drives away after capturing their attention, making Cruz and McQueen suspicious. The first Piston Cup race of the season takes place in Texas with the rivalry of Cruz and Jackson growing even stronger than ever before, due to Lightning's retirement.

==Gameplay==
===New game modes===
''Cars 3: The Video Game'' is a racing game, like many of the [[Cars (series)|''Cars'']] games that precede it. There is a vast array of playable characters from the film, in addition to many tracks and locations. Like in ''[[Cars: The Video Game]]'', players will be able to play in a story mode. There are five chapters of the story, each one containing 5-8 events. There are three types of events - road races, minigames, and Piston Cup races. In road races, players proceed through short races, each race open to a small number of contestants. There are three Piston Cup races, one at the end of each chapter. These races feature twelve laps, and a larger number of opponents. Halfway into the race, players must take a "pit stop" and a play a minigame in order to move on in the race. Completing and winning events will reward the player with [[Piston Cup (trophy)|trophies]], and there are a total of 250 to collect within the campaign.<ref>[https://venturebeat.com/2017/04/05/cars-3-the-video-game-is-bringing-lightning-and-friends-to-consoles-on-june-13/ Cars 3: The Video Game is bringing Lightning and friends to consoles on June 13]</ref>
*Stunt Showcase
*Best Lap Challenge


In between events, players can drive around a hub world that consists of three different areas; [[Radiator Springs]], [[Ornament Valley]], and [[Tailfin Pass]]. Players can explore the worlds while earning Skill Checks and driving past tourists and many of [[Cruz Ramirez]]'s friends. New areas are unlocked as the story progresses. Unlocking criteria is as follows:

Additionally, Cruz's appearance can be changed at Ramone's House of Body Art. While a small selection of paint schemes are available from the start of the game, the remainder must be unlocked by purchasing them with Bonus Points in the Bonus Content menu section.
===Sponsored Team Play===
Sponsored Team Play is an option you can access via the main menu, where you and a few friends pick between four sponsors to race for, [[Dinoco]], [[Rust-eze]], [[Gasprin]] and [[Shiny Wax]], you can pick the same sponsor to race against an equal amount of NPCs, or pick different sponsors to race each other, whoever gets the most points for their sponsor in a single play session or cup series wins.


===Arcade===
===Thomasville Playground===
Arcade mode allows players to use any character they have unlocked so far on any event unlocked through story mode. Unlike story mode, each race's opponents are random.
The Thomasville Playground is a small open-world area that you could access from the main menu, it has tons of challenges that you could play by yourself or with a friend, it has shared elements with and is overall very similar to the arenas from [[Cars 2: The Video Game]].


===VS===
===Cosmetic options===
Two players can play together with any characters they have unlocked so far, but the number of playable events are limited. There is also the [[Pit Stop Challenge]] minigame from story mode, which is only playable in VS mode. The frame rate will drop while playing this mode.

Trivia

  • In the final lap of each track in the game, the speed and pitch of the music increases by x1.10.
  • Instead of using the original music for the Cars 2 tracks, the team created all-new remixes of the songs that retain some elements of the originals, although, sped-up versions of the original music can still be heard in the final lap of each track (excluding Airport Runway Rally).
  • This game marks the first time Luigi is not playable in a Cars video game, the second time Fillmore is not playable, first being Cars: The Videogame, the third time Sarge is not playable, with the first being Cars: The Videogame and second being Cars: Fast as Lightning, and the second time Sheriff is not playable, first being Cars: Mater-National Championship.
    • In addition, this is the first time Luigi doesn't appear in a Cars video game.
  • This is the first Cars video game where Guido appears but does not speak.
  • The Oil Rig is the only location from Cars 2: The Video Game that does not have a track represented.
    • However, left over music in the game's files suggest that an Oil Rig Track was likely planned to be added, as the Oil Rig music from the Cars 2 Video Game is still present in the files.
  • This is the first (and probably only) time Mater is not voiced by Larry the Cable Guy.
  • Smokey, Junior Moon and River Scott only appear in their Heyday paint jobs in this game.
  • It is unknown why Cal Weathers did not appear in this game, considering he is one of Lightning McQueen's friends, along with Bobby and Brick. Even more so, it is also unknown why Cam Spinner and Rich Mixon are the only Next-Gen racers to appear in this game, as they have very minor roles who had little to no screen time in the film.
    • That said, it can be argued that the reason that Cal doesn't appear is the fact that there's already a Dinoco racer in the game, being Cruz Ramirez.
  • In several tracks, there's a freight train appeared pulling heavy freight train. The Livery was Similar to CSX Livery.

Bugs

  • If one were to pause the game and let the final lap music for Italy's Grand Tour loop twice, after looping for the second time, a sped-up version of the Italy Hunter music from Cars 2: The Video Game will instead start playing (Nintendo Switch).
  • Sometimes, in the Dinoco All-Star Cup, the game will spawn in the same character you’re currently playing as, which is not something it usually does (Nintendo Switch).
  • At seemingly random times, the face of the character you’re playing as will get stuck and won’t move until you either use your turbo, jump, perform a stunt, tow an object or do anything in general that’ll trigger an animation (Nintendo Switch).
  • If you place a Road Mine/Magnetic Mine on specific places in certain tracks, it’ll look like it’s floating in the air (Nintendo Switch).
  • Sometimes, the camera at the start of a race will be placed too high, it’ll adjust itself as soon as the race starts, though (Nintendo Switch).
  • There are several points in certain tracks where you can take advantage of the spawn points to skip parts of the track, you can do this in Midnight Run, Thunder Hollow Destruction Derby, Radiator Springs Wheel Well Loop and Florida International Concourse to name a few.
