Cars Mater-National Championship

Cars Mater-National Championship, or Cars Mater-National for short, is a 2007 racing game published by THQ for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Microsoft Windows, Nintendo DS, Game Boy Advance, and Wii.

The game received mixed reviews from critics.

Taking place sometime after the events of the previous game, Cars Mater-National Championship is about the first ever Mater-National Tournament, held in Radiator Springs by Piston Cup Champion Lightning McQueen and his best friend Mater.

Just like the previous game, Mater-National features three hub-worlds: Radiator Springs, Ornament Valley, and Tailfin Pass - all of which have been redesigned, although certain areas are blocked off and can only be accessed in races.
