There's two small things I've discovered. 1. When in a time trial, if you mess up a boost start don't press anything after the countdown ends, your boost will fill to max for a second or so before you press accelerate. 2. There is a slipstream mechanic when in races, it doesn't make you drive faster but you will recharge your boost faster when driving close behind another vehicle.
I'm so not used to having such competitive AI 100% thru the race that I literally had to start the game on Easy till I got myself some proper cars, just so that I can have a chance against Normal xD I ain't even thinking about going above that, ain't got the time to "git gud" and I got myself the game so I can enjoy in it, not for it to make me a sweaty nutcase.
Something that's really overlooked in this game and it's a hidden stat is the weight on the cars .... some cars flip over so easy and that shit will cost you the race
Thank you! For showing off those short cuts, cause I have been STRUGGLING with these time trials, I mean most of the ones I’ve gotten so far by just powering through and being as precise as possible in my turns going around and around the tracks making faster and faster times, and it’s been a grind. But having a short cut really would help me a lot.
Good tips! 2 of those shortcuts are track time trials Im having issues with. Somehow I did do one without the shortcut but you have to be flawless. Also on tip #2. When I got the Audi Quattro it made a lot of the time trials much more manageable. That car is well balanced in drift and has 5-6 boots slots which you need. Has a tendency to flip if you hit walls but its a 50/50 gamble when that happens at least with me anyway. The 422 which unlocks for free after getting all secrets unlocked I believe is a great car for drifting but will flip more often if you slam it into walls. But again that's just my experience.
Another great car is Synkro. The speed may not be good, but the handling. Oh boy, the handling. It's really steery. It's from a free Christmas DLC, really worth a shot.
I didn't knew about the boost off! Now everything makes sense, tysm. The rest is perfectly fine, a thing i would consider is that weight matters, for example, the snoopy car sucks because it's top heavy.
Yeah, I’m at that point I’m struggling with time trials!! I will look up for shortcuts to reduce time, I thought I had to get a super treasure car to complete those trials. Great tips 👍🏻
Very helpful thank you. Just got this game for PC 2 days ago. It’s a lot of fun. But it is not !, Dirt 2 rally or Formula 1!!. At the very beginning thinking I could use my accelerator to run round the track, just using boost to overtake was a complete failure!!, lol !. It constantly needs, accelerator, boost , accelerator, boost all the time to keep your car up with the pack. And then having to contend with sliding round bends and jumping. It is a steep learning curve I have to say. But if you can master the techniques it’s a whole lot of fun!.
Exactly it’s been a while since I’ve had a game challenge me like this. Reminds me of the old days when things were just difficult and you had to figure it out.
I started on hard and oh boy does it make it feel like a 90’s game . It’s nice yet so hard too xD . I’m managing though that Gucci beginning car is nice
@@iamMisterBo why do ganes do this? 🤦🏻♂️. I have this traffic driving game I had to delete and play from scratch. Now this. Thanks for the advice and the great video
I struggled with that particular one with the table too, I did eventually notice that I could drive on the table, on the same lap I beat the unleashed time without it lol
English is not my main language so I got confused at the wording. And there're 2 boosting methods: the one in the video and another one where you mashed boost button to fill the gauge.
@Trololol Trololol 'Welcome to Hot Wheels Unleashed! We know you're anxious to get going, but we still need to give you a few pointers. Press and hold the Accelerator just before the number 2 appears on the screen to get a Boost. If in doubt, check out the other cars on the track for perfect timing!'
In all honesty , I can easily say that ive never won a race offline contingent with me boosting off the line. I havent done multiplayer tho. Waiting to finish the campaign.
Upgrading certain cars lowers boost?? And why can you not see the stats when buying a car in the store? I just bought a car that I loved the look of but it has terrible stats and I won’t use it
Does anyone else have as much issue as I do keep in the damn car going straight I mean my car is always weaving left and right because I can't get it to go straight and always having to correct myself. I actually ended up having to quit the game when they started taking away the guardrails and making you drive on narrow pieces of wood because of all the racing games I play this is the only one I can't keep the car straight
It's better to boost just before you land as sometimes if you boost before the jump the speed and trajectory will propel you over well beyond the track you're supposed to land on. If you boost as you land your car is already nose down so will boost straight into the landing rather then get launched off the track.
i've always played racing games, i used to be really good at them... then i tried this game.. the tutorial race seems too easy, then first real race, i already had a fast car, i tought it was a kid game so i would have been easy.. so i set the difficulty to normal which seems ok to me, BUT, I HAD TO SET IT BACK TO EASY AND I STILL CAN'T GET OVER 5th IN THE 2nd RACE?!?! HOW IN THE HELL?!
This game is literally too fucking hard. Like seriously, they baited us on the first 2 races and EVERY race after that you need to play perfectly to even get 2nd
Someone knows something about magnetic floors? I have to boost on them? I can’t understand what is different and why they exist, there should be a reason!!
@@iamMisterBo Bro any would be nice. For example: "The Best: with special appearance by Buns of Steel." - I've won a couple Quick races with that car. Still locked. Are you suppose to finish the whole campaign with it or something?! "Mission: Top Secret" - even better. Confusing as fuck
@@RanOvaT There should be a race somewhere on the map called 'The Best' do that with Buns and come first. As for Top Secret that will unlock after all other secret nodes have been completed.
@@iamMisterBo tbh it's best to leave the secrets till after you beat all 5 bosses, then you're certain you'll be able to knock all 9 out without any issues Oh, and make sure you get to the "end points" as you're exploring the map(where you get a loot box and 1-2 rewards marked "?", those often give you the cars you need for the secrets)
This game is unnecessarily difficult for no reason. Completely takes the fun and joy out of it. I've been playing racing games all my life and I struggle with just about every race. Definitely don't see children playing this game. Hot Wheels fucked up with this one...yeah it looks good, but that's about it. SOOOO glad I ddnt buy it when it came out like I wanted to.

this game is literally mixed with Trackmania and Dark soul because the AI are so ridicously fast
ikr I haven't even tried the extreme AI yet...

Time attack are so difficult
The ai is so good lol using a car with max speed and they still stay glued to you
Back to forza horizon kids lol
Something that's really overlooked in this game and it's a hidden stat is the weight on the cars .... some cars flip over so easy and that shit will cost you the race
I quit over that asssspect until the monster trucks came.no more problems
especially the Koenigsegg Jesko
@@vynxibedd
Koenisegg jesko haves lots of downforce but it's light, so i barely ever flipped with it.

Tip 6: Keep your controller charged.

Makes sense. I mean, it does have the "Quattro" AWD System.
Time attack missions are ruthless
This video is the PERFECT amount of time to eat a French toast from ihop.
Now that’s a time measurement I can agree with!
Reminds me of the 1991 era especially Battletoads bike race . I still have that 16 bit unfinished nightmare.

Take my advice if you have to respawn just restart the race
or finish the lap with a too-long time so you start the next lap faster
Agreed I hate if you make one slip up you’re in 12th Place almost immediately🤬.
@@Dominickudo and it seem like they make you flip over or go off course dam near at the end 🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️🤦🏾♂️

Exactly it’s been a while since I’ve had a game challenge me like this. Reminds me of the old days when things were just difficult and you had to figure it out.
Wow you yourself found those shortcuts that's awesome.. I was wondering who found them as I seen them in other videos. Cool stuff man
Yeah these one I managed to find before the game came out but since then better and more crazies shortcuts have been found.
I started on hard and oh boy does it make it feel like a 90’s game . It’s nice yet so hard too xD . I’m managing though that Gucci beginning car is nice
Omg that funny car looked soooooooo cool.
Got this on pc … it is tons of fun and charming .
Thank you! :D I just got the game free for PS5 from the basic PS Plus subscription monthly games and I think your tips will help. Thanks! c:
trackmania and modnation racers vibes
How to beat time attack? Its so difficult lol
Great video! Thanks for uploading
Thanks for watching!. :)
@@iamMisterBo can u unupgrade? As in go back to previous version before you upgraded? 🤔
@@misterpacha1 Don't believe so.
@@iamMisterBo why do ganes do this? 🤦🏻♂️. I have this traffic driving game I had to delete and play from scratch. Now this. Thanks for the advice and the great video
@@misterpacha1 You can get the same car again though which will come unupgraded.
Thanks bro i got 1:03 instead of like 1:21 best shortcut ever 😁🤘🏻
Can u list the 3 track names that those 3 shortcuts are from?
Applied Gravity, Bridge Overtakes and Stunt Parking.
@@iamMisterBo thanks
I struggled with that particular one with the table too, I did eventually notice that I could drive on the table, on the same lap I beat the unleashed time without it lol
Thank you!
First game i got onto there was a hacker flying around lol
To be honest shortcuts ruins the game especially time trials but overall a extreme fun game for sure.
the drift in this game reminds me the drift physics in Ridge racer unbounded
Yess, which was hot garbage
thank you so much bro
It's very clear how to get the boosts at the beginning considering it's literally the first thing the game tells you to do when you start it.
English is not my main language so I got confused at the wording. And there're 2 boosting methods: the one in the video and another one where you mashed boost button to fill the gauge.
@Trololol Trololol it does, it's the first thing it tells you

4:19 perfect landing

On PS, you press the triangle button while on the car in the shop and it shows the stats.
Very useful thankyou very much 🙏🏽
Glad I could help.
I don’t know why but I’ve had great luck with total disposal, winning races on medium difficulty. Time attack it doesn’t do very well.
One slight crash and your screwed,fall guys like frustration
I just started an hour ago and have two legendaries, absolutely no idea how to play though
Good point about the upgrading. I've ruined 2 of my fav cars because of upgrading.
Yeah I ruined the car I was using as well.
Pro tip: turn on easy mode
I just want to know what the difference between acceleration 1 and 2 are
Any tips for driving the Camino in Extreme difficulty? I am having a time.
The tip would be don't do either of those things. :D
Good video thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
THX!
I'm having troubles with my drift ;-;
Do you have a tip for this?
Find a car that you feel more comfortable with maybe?
Thanks for the attention, but i discovered that i was holding the L2 and stopping my car, but i only had to "click" and release lol
Does anyone else have as much issue as I do keep in the damn car going straight I mean my car is always weaving left and right because I can't get it to go straight and always having to correct myself.

There’s something higher then purple flames full boost
Man, I needed that first tip a lot. Had no idea how everyone was getting boost starts.
glad I could help.
That is the only thing that the game actually tells you
Why tf do I just magically get glued to the wall on a turn? These physics are weird af 🥴
Yeah it takes some getting used to.
Always boost just before u do a jump it'll propel u further
It's better to boost just before you land as sometimes if you boost before the jump the speed and trajectory will propel you over well beyond the track you're supposed to land on. If you boost as you land your car is already nose down so will boost straight into the landing rather then get launched off the track.
what maps are the shortcuts on
I’m having hard time with time attacks near the end of game
Just done a guide on the final 5. :)

I dont know how but there has been 2 times where i get a full boost start it’s possible. Dont know if its a glitch or part of the game
I believe it’s a glitch it’s happened to me too.
Can someone help me I’m on ps4 and the game loves to stutter frames and it keeps on freezing for a second or 2 and it’s so annoying after just 2 races
In PS4 you can't update
Someone knows something about magnetic floors? I have to boost on them? I can’t understand what is different and why they exist, there should be a reason!!
You don’t slide as easy so can drift faster thru corners
How do u drift on ps4? Please someone let me know
I literally cant get past the second race
petty game why do i have to be in the game for it to reset the limited offers?
Yeah that is a weird feature.
i can't play online or use community liveries anymore? anyone know a fix?
not sure sorry. :(
Saale turn kaise lein???
I have that hot wheel in real life
I think I spend coins in limited time shop
I wined you always
Does anybody know how to complete the secrets?
They tell you what to do. Which one are you struggling to unlock?
@@iamMisterBo Bro any would be nice.

The game officially releases Sept 30th, however you can play early if you have the ultimate edition.
@@iamMisterBo OK thanks 🙏
the drifting is so buggy imo. any tips on that?
Not really, I dont have a problem with it. Maybe its the car your using.
Get used to one car first… find one that drifts good for you
Also look all the way around the corner before you get to it. Your car will follow your eyes.
I need coins ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
exactly, why aren't the developers create a proper guides on the game. :D
dude the first 20 seconds was a little rough idk if you should be giving us tips
XD I was just getting footage of a shortcut.
Skill =/= knowledge. Don't talk down to him
Your controller batteries are low
Tip 6 get batteries.
Useless.
It's the typical milestone game. Unbalanced ai and physics are weird.
