Trivia
- This is the first Cars game where the open world is not limited to Radiator Springs, Ornament Valley, and Tailfin Pass.
- This is the 2nd game that doesn't have the Radiator Springs Theme as the menu music. The first one is Cars: Radiator Springs Adventures.
- The PlayStation 2 version of the game has a lot of differences from the game on other consoles.
- On the PlayStation 2, each race has only 4 racers. On other consoles, each race has 8 racers, except the Monster Truck Races, which have 6.
- The PlayStation 2 has only 2 Point to Point Races, while other consoles have 5. Point to Point 2 and Point to Point 5 are Point to Point 1 and Point to Point 2 on the PlayStation 2 respectively.
- On the Wii, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360, all 4 of the students from both the Doc Hudson Racing Academy and Chick Hicks Racing Academy are playable characters. On the PlayStation 2, only the first student from each academy is playable.
- You don't have to wait for Ornament Valley and Tailfin Pass to load each time you go there from Radiator Springs, except on the PlayStation 2.
- On the PlayStation 2, Relay Races have 2 teams with 2 racers on each team. On other consoles, there are 4 teams each with 3 racers.
- Some of the paint jobs and kit-parts are missing on the PlayStation 2.
- Bubba, Tater, and Tater Jr. are playable in Circuit Races, Relay Races, Auto Cross, Missions, and Rustbucket Derby on the Wii, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, but not on the PlayStation 2. You can only play them in Rustbucket Derby on the PlayStation 2.
- The cars that drive around drive on a lot more roads in Radiator Springs, Ornament Valley, and Tailfin Pass outside the PlayStation 2. They even drive from one location to another.
- Although E.J. Holowicki and Lou Romano returned for the game, DJ and Snot Rod do not appear.
- This game is very different compared to its two prequels, Cars: The Video Game and Cars Mater-National.
- A race in Cars: The Video Game and Cars Mater-National would usually have 5 racers, but a race in Cars Race-O-Rama usually has 8 racers (except the PlayStation 2 version, which has 4 racers).
- The open world environment is limited to Radiator Springs, Ornament Valley, and Tailfin Pass in the first two games; but there are more locations to explore in Cars Race-O-Rama.
- Cars Race-O-Rama was never released on the PC or Gameboy Advance, while the first two games were.
- In the first two games, you would buy paint jobs and pictures with points; but on Race-O-Rama, you unlock the paint jobs and pictures by winning races.
- Characters like Lizzie, Fletcher, Gerald, Vince, Barry, Sonny, and Lenny from Cars: The Video Game return in Cars Mater-National; but not in Cars Race-O-Rama.
- None of the music from the first two games return in this game.
- Sarge's Boot Camp has opened up in Story Mode and can be freely explored in, unlike in the previous games.
- Unlike the previous games, you can now drift instead of powersliding.
- This is the first game to not have Mater on the cover.
- This game has a minigame called Tractor Stampede. Unlike the previous games, it takes place in the town of Radiator Springs instead of the field. In Story Mode, you play as Lightning McQueen instead of Mater. Also, Frank doesn't appear.
- In this game, there is now a Doc's Garage.
- Unlike Cars Mater-National, you can't play as Monster McQueen in exploration mode.
- The minigames of Luigi's Tire Find and Sheriff's Chase are similar to the Luigi to the Rescue and Sheriff's Hot Pursuit minigames in Cars: The Video Game.
- The areas of Radiator Springs, Ornament Valley and Tailfin Pass that were blocked off in Cars Mater-National have been put back in, as well as The World's Biggest Ball of... in each part of Carburetor County.
- Like the first film, Cars: The Video Game and Cars Mater-National, the game is dedicated in memory of Joe Ranft.
- Like the first film, the game title is on a starting line.
- If you go round the road back behind Radiator Cap (the giant rock behind the Courthouse with RS engraved in it), you will see a mountain with lots of back ends of cars sticking out (Cadillac Range). If you look to the right, you will see a big dark brown rock. You are looking at the top of Tailfin Pass. If you look closely in the bottom left corner of the rock, you can see Wheel Well Motel. This can also be reversed if you go up to Wheel Well Motel and go to the edge of the cliff, when you can see where you have just come from (behind Radiator Cap) and beyond that is Radiator Springs.
Goofs
- On the PlayStation 2 version of the game, Guido always looks left when he turns right, and looks right when he turns left.
- Also on the PlayStation 2, in the Tokyo Mater level, Mater says his winning phrase twice. This also makes Mia and Tia not say their phrases.
- The Ornament Valley Airport from the previous game does not appear at all in this game, but it appears in Cars 2. However, it's possible that the cars left in a different airport. Also, most of the rest of the new stuff in Cars Mater-National do not return in this game.
- Like Cars: Mater-National Championship, sometimes the characters' lines are not aligned with their mouths.
