[edit] Plot
Dr. Peter Tezla uncovers the technology of an ancient race called Accelerons during his excavation. He discovers that Gelorum has taken The Wheel of Power and he needs his old drivers back to stop her and the evil racing drones, working for her, the drivers must see if they have the courage to win the ultimate race and the ultimate power that comes with it. Instead of Highway 35, the drivers race on tracks called Racing Realms which are tests for the drivers. At the end of the race the winner rechieves an Accelecharger which give the car great powers based on the realem it was from. The reason the tagline is called "Drive to survive!" is because you have only one hour to win the race or you are trapped forever!
[edit] Characters
[edit] Metal Maniacs
The Metal Maniacs are one of the two racing team in the Hot Wheels AcceleRacers series. They are a group of muscular, wrestler-like drivers whose vehicles are a mixture of scrap metal and racing car components reminiscent of old-style muscle cars. They have a raucous and reckless driving style with the cars to match. They have a fierce rivalry with the Teku.
The members of the Metal Maniacs are:
- Tork Maddox (voiced by Adrian Holmes)
- The current leader of the Metal Maniacs. Tork has a rivalry with Nolo Pasaro, the current leader of the Teku, who blames Tork for the death of his older brother, Tone. In truth, Tork did not cause Tone's death, but allows Nolo to blame him because Tork believes himself to be responsible nevertheless. When Nolo comes to terms with the fact, they eventually become friends. Tork also loves sports, fighting, and racing. His first and only car in the Acceleracers series is "Hollowback".
- Taro Kitano (voiced by Kevan Ohtsji)
- A former racing champion, he is a millionaire that has climbed Mount Everest twice. A calm and collected racer who respects the Teku's Vert Wheeler and Karma Eiss. He used to date Lani Tam, but they broke up as she later commented, "They didn't talk much". He appears to be attracted to the equally calm and collected Karma, whom he admits is an extremely good driver. His first car in the series is a '70 Plymouth Road Runner. His second car is "Rivited".
- Deezel "Porkchop" Riggs (voiced by David Kaye)
- Undefeated in racing until he raced against Team Teku. He has a rivalry with Teku member Shirako Takamoto, mainly due to the fact that he doesn't like the music Shirako listens to. Porkchop has a strong relationship with Maniac mechanic Mitchell "Monkey" Mclurg. He initially drives the car "Jack Hammer" and motocycle "Jaw Jammer", but changes to the car "Piledriver" towards the end of the series. He has a childhood fear of water.
- Mark Wylde ("Markie", "Wylde") (voiced by Will Sanderson)
- A former member of Vert's old team, the Wave Rippers. Far from the innocent racer who reconciled with his older brother, Kurt Wylde, at the end of Highway 35, Mark is aggressive, short-tempered and easily riled by his older brother and Tork. Apparently before the Acceleracers saga began, Kurt talked Markie into joining a "business deal", but ended up arrested when things went wrong and he refused to give up. After two years in prison, Mark joined the Metal Maniacs and refused to acknowledge his brother for abandoning him. He is determined to prove himself, even if he means breaking the rules. After the Metro Realm, he gets extremely angry towards Monkey and Tork, at Monkey for losing his car to the Sweeper, and at Tork for letting Monkey take the car in the first place. After this, Tork doesn't let Mark drive in the Realms because of his determination to get back at Kurt, other than winning. This doesn't really matter, because Mark doesn't finish Flathead Fury until Breaking Point. His first car is "Spinebuster", his second is "Flathead Fury".
- Mitchell "Monkey" Mclurg (voiced by Andrew Duncan)
- The jumpy (both figuratively and literally) mechanic of the Metal Maniacs, who has a bit of a crush on Lani Tam; his feelings are unreciprocated and Lani shows no interest in him aside from disgust at times. Monkey would rather be in the garage than on the race track, but is a capable racer nonetheless. He formulates the more powerful "Nitrox-3 1/2" fuel and constructs Sparky the Robot from recovered Racing Drone parts. He dislikes his real name and prefers to be called Monkey. Monkey's first car is "Rollin' Thunder"; his second car is the "Rat-ified". Together, he and Porkchop drove the truck "Old Smokey".
[edit] Teku
The members of the Teku are:
- Nolo Pasaro (voiced by Dexter Bell)
- After his brother Tone died, Nolo took over leadership of the Teku. Aggressive and stubborn, many of Nolo's early actions seemed to stem from his hatred of Tork, whom he blamed for his brother's death. A jealous leader, Nolo also doesn't seem to like any question of his judgment or abilities, which caused major strife between him and Vert (who was just itching for a chance to take over and prove himself).
- Nolo puts his hatred of Tork aside during the Metro Realm when Tork saved him from the Racing Drones. Interaction between Nolo and Tork was still strained in Breaking Point, most likely due to the vacuum left by Nolo's past hatred. But at least Nolo isn't foaming at the mouth any more, which leaves time for Nolo to become a better leader of the Teku.
- During the events in The Ultimate Race, Nolo had finally let go of his hatred for Tork; they are working together in the Cosmic Realm and in the Racing Drones Headquarters. Nolo finally admits that Tone's death was the result of Tone's careless driving and not Tork's fault. At the end of the movie, Nolo hangs up Tone's necklace on a Highway 35 sign and joins Tork to go look for Vert.
- He drives the car "Synkro", but later replaces it with "SpecTyte" and briefly drives "High Voltage".
- Vert Wheeler (voiced by Andrew Francis)
- The winner of the World Race. eighteen years old, Vert Wheeler is now a member of the Teku team helping Dr. Tezla. Vert, at one time believed he was the better driver and leader and was at constant odds with Nolo Passaro, the leader of the Teku. After repeated personal failures in both Ignition and Speed of Silence, Vert finally realized that he's not as good as he thinks he is. He gave up and left, disappearing before the teams went into the Metro Realm. After some time away for personal reflection, Vert returned in Breaking Point just in time to race in the Junk Realm. His time away seemed to mellow his relationship with Nolo.
- During The Ultimate Race, Vert was again feeling sorry for himself. Regretting his decision to not accompany the other drivers on the rescue mission to the Racing Drones' Headquarters, Vert stayed behind when the Cosmic realm opened. It worked out for the best though, as he was the only one to avoid capture and ended up following Gelorum into the Ultimate Race. During the race, Vert showed his maturity. Staying level-headed and using his driving skills flawlessly, he was able to keep up with Gelorum who had access to all the AcceleChargers. At the end of the Ultimate Race, Vert was granted the honor of being a true AcceleRacer by the Accelerons.
- Vert declined to follow the Acceleron to its home world, instead choosing to return to help his captured friends. He says wisdom is a circle, what you receive you must give back. He succeeded in helping them escape, but was subsequently caught by the Silencerz.
- He first drives "Deora II", a repaint of his car from Highway 35, but later switches to "Power Rage" and then "Reverb". He also drives motorcycle "Nightlife".
- Kurt Wylde (voiced by Brian Drummond)
- Mark Wylde's older brother. Now quiet and standoffish, it’s a much calmer Kurt that's attempting to prove himself in AcceleRacers. Kurt is still facing the consequences of his actions in the World Race, however, through suspicions from the other drivers and out-right hostility from his younger brother, Mark Wylde. It's been suggested on the AcceleRacers website (The Cartoon Network) that Kurt is substituting his relationship with Nolo in place of the failed one with Mark.
- A major sub-plot in AcceleRacers is the relationship between Kurt and Mark Wylde. Mark ended up in prison because of a shady business deal Kurt involved him in. Kurt, fearing personal ruin, failed to help Markie with the subsequent legal troubles.
- In The Ultimate Race, Kurt redeems himself by bringing together the Teku and Metal Maniacs in the rescue effort to get Markie from the Racing Drones. Markie seemed to forgive Kurt after that. Additionally, Kurt has been shown in a number of flashbacks opposing Mark's membership in the Metal Maniacs – after Mark’s prison sentence.
- He drives "Sling Shot", a repaint of his car from Highway 35, before changing to "Battle Spec".
- Shirako Takamoto (voiced by Kirby Morrow)
- Primarily concerned with other things besides being first to the finish line, Shirako almost always seems like he's back towards the rear of the pack. When he does take the lead, it’s during times when he can also look good doing it. Porkchop seems especially irritated by Shirako and his loud music (which Shirako listens to at almost all times).
- He drives the car "Bassline" and motorcycle "Nightlife".
- Karma Eiss (voiced by Lisa Ann Beley)
- Calm and collected, Karma is all about overcoming challenges - the harder the better. Additionally, it seems that overcoming challenges means overcoming them perfectly to her. Determined to find the best way to solve problems, she's usually the first one to figure things out. Karma also worked with the captured RD-S1 in Speed of Silence to discover a better understanding of the Racing Drones, how they drive and how to beat them.
- Karma seems to have a lingering distrust of Kurt because of his shadowy past with Gelorum. On the other hand, Karma may be developing a relationship with Taro, a result of their similar personalities. Karma's car is "Chicane".
- Tone Pasaro (voiced by Craig Veroni)
- Tone Pasaro was Nolo's older brother and founder of the Teku team. During a race with Tork Maddox, Tone lost control of his car, crashed and died in the explosion.
- For Nolo, Tone serves as a guide from the spirit world through various flashbacks. Though Tone taught his brother many useful social and driving concepts, Nolo's anger toward Tork over the accident colored many of Nolo's actions.
- In Speed of Silence, Karma Eiss expresses her opinion that Tone was not quite the driver that Nolo remembers. Later in the movie The Ultimate Race, Nolo finally admits that Tone's death was caused by Tone, not Tork.
- Tone was driving "Synkro" during the flashbacks of the fateful race where he lost his life.
Slife Wheeler
[edit] Racing Drones
- Gelorum
- She is a primary villain from World Race series and later became the main antagonist at AcceleRacers series. In Acceleracers, Gelorum is the member of her own team called the Racing Drones. Gelorum was voiced by Kathleen Barr. In World Race series, Gelorum was a chief mastermind at CLYP Corporation. Then, she hired Zed-36 to sabotage the track to harm the racers, so Gelorum can get the chance of getting the Wheel of Power. Then, she sent the Zed-36 and the other robots to get the Wheel of Power ahead of the other drivers. At Hot Wheels City, Gelorum got damaged by the wreck of her helicopter. Then, it was revealed that Gelorum is a robot. Then, she was able to prevent to return the Wheel of Power to the Hot Wheels city, but was stopped by Kurt Wylde who was formerly Zed-36. Gelorum was able to get to a portal, vowing that "the race is not yet over".
- In AcceleRacers, Gelorum's face and body bear the scars of her past battle in the end of World Race series. In Breaking Point, she was a racing drone constructed by the Accelerons. In Ruins Realm, the 3.3 mini episode in [1], Gelorum's origin was revealed that she was in her robot form to lead the drones exile on Earth. In The Ultimate Race, Gelorum shows her true form when discards her "human" shell to attack Vert. Then, the Acceleron makes the attack, sending Gelorum spinning off the road during her fight with Vert Wheeler.
- RD-L1 (Racing Drone, Lieutenant 1)
- RD-S1 (Racing Drone, Soldier 1)
- RD-W1 (Racing Drone, Worker 1)
- MD-01 (also known as RD-M1 [Racing Drone, Motorcycle 1])
- Brian "Zone" Kadeem (joins the team at some point after being mutilated and tortured by Gelorum)
- Also a special "Sweeper Drone driver"
[edit] Silencerz
- Major Jack "Rabbit" Wheeler, driver of the Iridium & (Vectra) Magnesium and is Vert's father (also drove Anthracite in Cosmic Realm).
- Various unknown drivers who never talk or show their faces which are hidden by helmets.
- Various unknown technicians in strange outfits that hide their faces who also never talk
- Several X-88 floating robots that have the same functions as Gelorum's recon drones.
[edit] Other
- Dr. Peter Tezla (voiced by Michael Donovan): Dr. Tezla abandoned his Cubes and went into hiding in the Acceledrome where he conducted research centered on the Wheel of Power. Once he discovered the nature of the Wheel of Power and the Racing Realms, Dr. Tezla recruited former World Race drivers to help him compete in the Racing Realms for the powerful AcceleChargers. Hunted by Gelorum and the Racing Drones, Dr. Tezla is a very secretive man sharing information only if he decides the person needs to know it. This generates some distrust amongst those he leads - especially Kurt Wylde who has never trusted Tezla. Despite his secretive nature, his most trusted companion is Gig, a floating computer/robot. Dr. Tezla was crippled in the attempt to keep the Drones from the Wheel of Power - he now walks and stands with the aid of motorized braces. Dr. Tezla also has some sort of connection with the Silencerz. When questioned about this apparent connection, he claims to be the victim of theft. Later we learn that Dr. Tezla used to work for the Silencers, but then left them taking some of their technologies.
- Lani Tam (voiced by Venus Terzo): A former World Race driver of the Wave Rippers team, she now works for Dr. Tezla in the Acceledrome as crew chief, medic and mechanic. At the end of the World Race, she became involved with Taro Kitano. Their relationship seems to have gone sour by the time AcceleRacers begins (Lani remarks that Taro was "hard to talk to"). Though Lani periodically shows that she may have feelings still for Taro, the actions are never reciprocated. Lani may be developing feelings for Nolo, however, as they are seen together quite often in the movies and have an easy-going relationship with each other.
- Gig (voiced by Kasper Michaels): A floating computer/robot, Gig is Dr. Tezla's seemingly loyal companion and side-kick. An X-88 robot, Gig was stolen from the Silencerz when Dr. Tezla left that team. Dr. Tezla thought he'd reporgrammed Gig, but it turned out that Gig was playing the part of the spy - feeding Dr. Tezla's information back to the Silencerz. Gig's deception was discovered by Lani in the movie The Ultimate Race. Shortly thereafter, Gig gave his life to destroy the Racing Drones army by personally detonating the Nitorx 2 storage tanks in the Acceledrome. The AcceleRacers website (Cartoon Network) hints that Gig's electronic brain is vulnerable to tampering.
- Brian Kadeem (voiced by Cusse Mankuma): Kadeem, a former World Race driver, led the drivers into the Storm Realm, but was lost when he fell from the track. Captured by the Racing Drones and taken to their headquarters. After interrogation, his body was integrated with robotic parts making him into a cyborg under Gelorum's control. Kadeem was last seen falling off a very high building in the Racing Drones HQ.
- Banjee Castillo, Alec "Hud" Wood, and Dan Dresden: Lost in the Racing Realms while driving for Dr. Tezla. We know Banjee Castillo that he was in the Swamp Realm some time before Ignition as his car is seen briefly - wrecked and half submerged in the water.
- Acceleron,: Alien racers who created Gelorum and the Racing Droons thousand years ago. They also created Hot Wheels cars, the Wheel of Power, the Realms and the AcceleChargers. In Hot Wheels Acceleracers Ultimate Race from the Sphere Gelorum used all the AcceleChargers to complete the realms and Vert Wheeler used racing skill for the test then the Acceleron used his powers to change Vert's outfit and helment into a new one. After Gelorum was defeted by the Acceleron he turns Vert's car back where it was and he open the portal to turn back. After Vert change his mind the Acceleron gave Vert Wheeler the Widoms Circle to recive you must get back and then the Acceleron open the portal so Vert can go back to the Acceledrome and save his friends from the drones.
[edit] Racing Realms
There are 16 major Racing Realms in AcceleRacers and 10 minor ones (26 in all). These tracks are more dangerous than the ones on Highway 35. This is another test for the drivers built by the Accelerons. Highway 35 was only the beginning. The Wheel of Power decides which Racing Realm to open and when.
[edit] Card Realms
- Canyon Realm: A Racing Realm that criss-crosses over a deep canyon with sheer drops. The skill for this realm could be landing jumps.
- Chrome Realm: A Racing Realm that has huge silver spheres. The skill for this realm could be telling what is a reflection and what is not.

- Micro Realm: A Racing Realm where all cars become toy size.
[edit] Movie Realms
- Fog Realm: Little is known about the except that it was completed prior to the events portrayed in AcceleRacers. It's skill could possibly be driving in the fog.
- Monument Realm: Little is know about the Monument Realm except that it was completed prior to the events portrayed in AcceleRacers.
- Warped Realm: A Racing realm where there are no laws of physics, not even gravity. It was completed prior to the events portrayed in AcceleRacers.
- Storm Realm: The Storm Realm is a Racing Realm with tracks that loop and curve around the sides of clouds, as if they were clinging to colossal mountainsides. The Storm Realm is an electrically charged world of flickering lightning and booming thunder. This realm tests a driver's ability to focus and avoid distraction.
- Swamp Realm: The Swamp Realm is a Racing Realm that features a winding track that curves through and around gigantic jungle trees growing from fetid swamp below. Giant worms, giant mosquitoes, and hungry creatures lurk in the shadows and are ready to take out the drivers. The track itself is alive and continuously growing, forcing drivers to constantly choose the best terrain at any given moment.
- Cavern Realm: The dark and daunting Cavern Realm features sudden turns and stops, unexpected drops and dips, and sections of track that veer into total darkness as well as falling boulders and giant bats. The Accelerons designed the Cavern Realm to test a driver's ability to drive in the dark while avoiding obstacles. As such, stalactites and stalagmites appear throughout the course.
- Lava Realm: Huge flaming boulders, lava eruptions and magma geysers are just some of the dangers that drivers face in the Lava Realm. With flowing lava a constant threat, drivers will need to master tire dexterity if they hope to stay off the sidelines and stay alive.
- Water Realm: The track in the Water Realm runs above, on and below the surface of the ocean. Sections of track that are completely submerged run through translucent tubes. Periods of breaks prevent flooding, but allow cars, sea creatures, and some water to pass through. Ravenous sea creatures wait for unsuspecting drivers in the darkness. The Water Realm will test a driver's ability to avoid hydroplaning and spinning out.
- Metro Realm: The Metro Realm offers a vast night-time cityscape to explore, eerily deserted and dotted with neon signage and streetlights. The interconnecting streets of this bizarre metropolis will force a driver to master the skills of braking, cornering and driving through traffic
- Cliffside Realm: Drivers will need to navigate hairpin turns while avoiding rockslides, falling trees and large flying vultures if they hope to make it to the end of the Cliffside Realm. Mastering the art of drifting (which means taking tight turns while minimizing loss of speed) will be essential.
- Ice Realm: With a track made of ice that can crack and collapse at any moment, the Ice Realm presents a chilling challenge for any driver with it being on a glacier. Competitors will need to be good at negotiating slick surfaces if the want to make it to the finish line.
- Neon Pipeline Realm: The Neon Pipeline Realm is a unique Racing Realm features a track running inside and around the outside of a huge pipeline. Drivers will have to race at all angles (and even upside-down) on their way to a win. Mastering drafting will take them one step closer to success.
- Junk Realm: The Junk Realm is a Racing Realm that will take drivers through a junkyard filled with scrap metal and rusty old cars. Piles of junk crash down on the track, threatening to crush drivers underneath. There's also problems with piles of debris on the road, magnetized lifters, compactors, wrecking balls, and a big metal fire-breathing dinosaur known as the Mechanized Destroyer. The Accelerons designed this realm to test a driver's ability to hit the apex of a turn.
- Ruins Realm: The Ruins Realm is a Racing Realm with an atmosphere that evokes Easter Island and Stonehenge. The Ruins Realm is peppered with colossal statues and stone buildings. With an ancient marble track that threatens to collapse at any time, drivers must hone their skills if they want to win.
- Cosmic Realm: The Cosmic Realm is a Racing Realm that features a track composed of colorful planetary rings that lie suspended in space. Meteor showers and black holes are just a few of the hazards that this realm contains. This realm is designed to test a driver's skill in high-speed control since the low-gravity environment requires the driver to produce as much downforce as possible in order to avoid floating off the track.
- Racing Drones HQ: The final stop in the ultimate race is the Racing Drones Headquarters: a vast, tangled ruin of what was once Hot Wheels City. Strange machines and mysterious deadly challenges lurk around every turn. Only the best and most skilled drivers will be able to compete here. There are many dangerous paths and every turn lies a new challenge for the racers. They have to choose the right line if they want to make it out alive.
- The Sphere
: In the race between Vert and Gelorum, after both racers have passed all the previously encountered realms, they entered a place where the track is surrounded by white light. The show gives little information about that place, except that the winner is supposed to win a chance to race against the Acceleron at the end of the track.
- Highway35

[edit] Trivia
- It is interesting to note that the realm cars and semi-trailers are almost identical to their human counterparts despite being Acceleron inventions. It is possible that Highway 35 and the racing realms were not the only secrets left by the Accelerons.
- In the speed of silence, Karma says that the captured racing drone has mastered the skills needed to win the storm, swamp,cavern and lava realms. But in Ignition, that racing drone was captured before it encountered the swamp, cavern, or lava realms. As seen in the Swamp Realm though, the realms have opened before.
As you can see through the Neon Pipeline Realm, you see all the team motorcycles. Also it seems like Kurt and Taro take the spotlight of the table, racing through 9 realms each out of 15 but 12 not including the Fog, Warped, and Monument. Taro didn't race in Cliffside, Ruins and Cavern. Kurt doesn't race in Ice, Neon Pipeline and Ruins. Also Dr. Tezla seems to hide jealousy of Karma, she only races in 6 or 7 realms. Vert doesn't race in them too much either, only racing in 6 realms. Monkey races through 7 realms, Porkchop races through 7 realms, Tork races through 7 or 8 realms, Nolo races through 5, 6,or 7, Shirako races through 7 or 8 realms, Wylde races through 6 realms.
[edit] Game Rumors
There have been rumors going around the Internet that Hot Wheels an EA plan to make an AcceleRacers video game to increase the popularity of the movies and merchandise. It will allow the player to go through all the realms as any of the characters, winning Accelechargers along the way.
These rumors have not yet been confirmed
However, the new Hot Wheels:Beat That! game does have AcceleRacers cars as playable vehicles.
