In ''[[Tokyo Mater]]'', Kabuto encounters [[ | In ''[[Tokyo Mater]]'', Kabuto encounters [[Mater]] when the latter accidentally touches his paint, upon his arrival, and challenges him to a drift race, that takes them all the way to the top of [[Tokyo Tower]]. The winner will be crowned king of all drifters, but the loser will be stripped of all modifications. During the race, Kabuto taunts Mater for not being able to drift so easily compared, and tries to lose him, by summoning [[Kabuto Ninja|his ninja]] to attack Mater. However, [[Lightning McQueen]] (who suddenly came into the story after Mater announced that he was there too) immediately takes out the ninjas, only for them to find out that Kabuto is nearly at the tower. Soon, Mater catches up to Kabuto through a pipe that McQueen sends him through with a fireball, and the two of them race up to the top of the tower. Furious and determined to win, Kabuto knocks Mater off the tower, but is shocked to find that Mater had got to the top with his hook, thus winning the race and costing Kabuto his modifications. Now having become "stock", Kabuto is left humiliated by his own ninja. | ||

In ''[[Cars: Race-O-Rama]]'', Mater must compete in a drift race that is very heavily based on the events of ''Tokyo Mater''. Kabuto appears as the only opponent during the race, with the exception of VS mode, where he is replaced by Dragon Lightning McQueen. The race goes around the streets, through a traffic jam, into a construction site, through a pipe, and finally up Tokyo Tower. | In ''[[Cars: Race-O-Rama]]'', Mater must compete in a drift race that is very heavily based on the events of ''Tokyo Mater''.
