The additional irony of “going for the record” is that there probably *is* no record for that course, and winning in a more careful manner would gave given him the course record anyway. Also, I just thought of the irony for Kadeem. It might be a reach, but the Dune Ratz motto was "ride the wind." And he is captured after falling to his doom in the storm realm.

Shirako driving on the right side of his car probably implies it's an in-universe Japanese tuner of some sort, that or he is Japanese and he specifically wanted his car to be that way.

Seeing the toy from comic con sold me on this theory. I wish we got to see a finale for this so bad

Esmeralda was a silencer too

Acceleracers nunca morirá!

Kadeem deserved better than that.

I played Hot Wheels Beat That, also released in 2007. That game had like 15-16 vehicles from the Acceleracers franchise. The game was your typical Hot Wheels racing game, taking place as toy cars in a house, but among the background in some tracks, there were packages of Hot Wheels Acceleracers lying around. Hot Wheels Unleashed, recently started adding the Acceleracers cars to their DLCs.

The fourth movies script was definitely finished after the fifth movie was cancelled; such is the lifespans of straight to video movies. Think about it. Without the drones, the fifth movie would be just exposition and no racing. No, the fourth movie was written to be the final one.

Mommy gelorum

Funnily enough, I've always seen Torque as raceless until many years after watching the movies (I was like 4 or 3 when first watching them) when my father told me he was probably jamaican or some "mulat". Probably the only reason I really didn't noticed everyone was supposed to have a race was because of the city sector I would grow up in. Since it kinda matched the diversity there. (Primarily white but with many mestizos and some east asians and "pardos".) Didn't helped I watched it in Spanish either and that the first race happened in a place that literally exists on the Lima old pan American highway. It was only after watching World Race that I was like "ohhhh, they're from other parts of the world".

How do we know that the silencerz are previous highway 35 drivers??? Where is the proof/information??

Bro see Kaddem after the acceleracers is soo sad :(

There's also a scene that shows the bent highway 35 sign still bent from way back in highway 35 when Vert spun out and hit the sign in the beginning of the movie

Everyone was wondering why Vert's car suddenly took him to the Silencerz HQ at the end of the series and my guess is Gig and Commander Wheeler added some upgrades to ensure he'd go there, or it just defaulted to the only remaining human portal after the Acceledrome exploded

Man I so miss this series. Was a big part of my childhood and actually taught me how to become a better racer in racing games. We need a proper ending to the series :(

I remember playing this on my psp for years 😂

Yeah I’ll never forgive the cancellation of accelaracers

Not really any easter egg but im pretty sure in between Tezla’s accident and the swamp realm in Ignition, he could’ve gone to the Silencerz HQ and thats why he thinks they stole technology from him or something like that (theres also a brief clip of him in ignition watching the drivers at the meeting)

I always imagined that the drone car he sent into Highway 35 looked like a Video-Racer which is basically a hot-wheels car with a camera in it. Also, what happened to the wreckage of the vehicle after it crashed? Shouldn't it still have been there when the World Race drivers were on the track later.

Taros look drastically changed from highway 35 to acceleracers.

I would love to see remakes of these with modern standards of representation. Apparently Tam is a popular last name for Chinese people but it's actually not that common in China which makes a lot of sense if Lani's family are Chinese immigrants to Hawaii. I think that's really cool.

Omg I forgot about the old guy who talks to Kadeem! That was so weird and stereotypical I wonder if there were plans to bring him back

5:24 emagine if every video of his ended w commentary 😂

Where did you get the song fromt he outro? is it a cover?

Masterpiece of my childhood. Such a good vid, shame I found it so many years late.

The art style change was so utterly dogshit that it stopped me from watching it altogether.

Do you have any idea why taro looks so different?

a couple I noticed you missed in both videos: - drone HQ is hotwheels city remodeled, which is why monkey asks if the roads seem similar (eventho it makes no sense for monkey to say it since he never went on highway 35, would make more sense for kurt or taro to say it tbh) - swamp realm showed banjo's streetbeasts car in the swampy area surrounding the waters porkchop avoided (thus insinuating the easier route is misleading) - nalas wave ripper car got repurposed as the medical car in the acceledrome

This is why after end of highway 35 vert dad knew where he was and why vert got invitation to world race

I know that the Taro effect is basically a bad thing but, It's one of the COLDEST one liners I've ever heard and I use it on a day to day basis.

7:07 that was so right! the theories were right!

TL;DR Krakatoa has W Rizz

Esmeralda: *Just walks by.* Krakatoa: “Forget the money! I want dat ass!” Esmeralda: “Catch it then, big boy.”

Kurt and Banjee racing at the beginning of the second realm mirrors Kurt battling the silencer who is likely Banjee. However, like in the 3rd realm Taro rams him and it puts him off the track in acceleracers.

I always love going back to this series, as well as the old videos about it. In fact, i just got into playing the CCG on Tabletop Sim. One thing to note, the Silencerz are the ones who won the Cliffside realm, as we can see an accelecharger when the drones take the runner from Major Wheeler in 4.0 that matches the color of the Cliffside symbol in the MiniSodes

It would fit if, in the canceled 5th movie, the sand realm opens and Kadeem, as a racing drone, suffer from the leader course, maybe he become good again from that point, maybe he is destroyed or get lost in the realm

One thing I've noticed from watching multiple theories is with Ballistic being in the swamp realm. In the storm realm, Dr. Tezla and Lonnie both tell the drivers that there is no way to open the realms again. The wheel decides when a realm will open... But, in Highway 35, Banjee was caught opening old tracks to practice with his team. His overall knowledge of driving and the realms themselves lead Banjee to be one of the strongest forces with the Silencerz. Considering Dr. Tezla had Silencer tech as well it may be possible that Dr. Tezla had to break some of Banjee's rules

Clickbait!!!!!!!

I love the irony of him being lost in the storm realm due to him mentioning in hw35 wr when he was racing banjee that driving in the middle of a sandstorm in the sahara was nothing (yes I wrote the same comment to a diff video, I m just tryna save my find before someone else copies it)

I know I m late but since no one talkin abt it, Kadeem being lost in the storm realm is ironic, since in the world race, when he was racing Banjee he said something along the lines of "driving in the middle of a sandstorm in the savannah, this is nothing"

I'm so glad I found this channel, I loved these movies growing up!! Still do!!!

Now that i was watching world race for the 109th time, i saw that Dresden became a leader of the street breed some time later, and you can see his sky eye in a drone theme in metro realm, btw he is also lost in the realms so we can think dresden got captured by drones and probably became one 😢

The Silencerz - The Heroes Good Guys Major Wheeler - Iridium Banned Castillo - Technetium Alec Wood - Accelium Dan Dresden - Covelight Jack Wheeler - Anthracite

6:53 Karma? Human Gelorum?

I wouldn't be surprised if the creators made it a point that every time Taro says "I'm gonna pass you" something bad happens, like a bad luck charm. Things like this keep the saga alive for us fans

Guarantee the feet redesign happened because they had plans to incorporate mechsuit type stuff and make toys, they even have proof from an old toy fair picture where the characters were wearing mechs

Tezla always reminded me of Dumbledore. Pulling all the strings, not telling anyone everything he knows, and has zero qualms with throwing lives away for the greater good

Its a shame Acceleracers didn't get a continuation

Where are ya bro? We need more

Even as a kid i knew what Taro was doing on the lava realm made no sense
