[1] The plot is that a boy named Charlie Rockit needs $50,000 to fix his aunt and uncle's tractor engine, so Chuck E. Cheese and his friends go to the Galaxy 5000 to win it in a race.

During a day at Pasqually's diner, Chuck E. is visited by his friend Charlie Rockit, whose aunt and uncle are in danger of losing their farm because they need $50,000 to replace their broken tractor.

Among the racers are the X-Pilots Peter and Ivan, the race's champions who want nothing to do with them and are suspected of cheating, and a woman named Astrid whom Chuck E. falls in love with, making Helen jealous and left out.

In the qualifying round, the X-Pilots inhale an energy-boosting substance called Zoom Gas before achieving a speed of Vega-2 which leaves the Songbird in the dust; when Chuck E. attempts at it, he loses control at the final stretch through Dead Man's Canyon, and the team ends up finishing last.

Through the encouragement of his teammates and what he learned from Harry, Chuck E. faces his fears and overcomes all his self-doubts, achieving the highest speed possible, Vega-3 and manages to overtake the X-Pilots at the final stretch and crosses the finish line.
