Mattel's best-selling toy car series screeches onto Game Boy Advance with the release of Hot Wheels: Burnin' Rubber. Players can choose from a total of 25 genuine Hot Wheels models divided into five categories: street rods, super sport, super screamers, muscle cars, and sports gallery. Each vehicle is individually rated in top speed, acceleration, and handling, but players can further fine-tune their ride between races from within the in-game garage. Upgrades in the form of engines, mufflers, computers, suspension, wheels, rear ends, and brakes are available to improve each car's performance during a race. Yet in order to acquire an upgrade, players must first earn some cash during competition.
