Drive through impossible loops and portals with childhood-favorite cars and trucks
AUSTIN – Jan. 4, 2024 – Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem, the toy car racing and track creation game from WIMO Games in collaboration with global branded entertainment leader Hasbro, swerves into VR and Mixed Reality headsets today for Meta Quest 2 & 3 and SteamVR.
Unbound by the laws of physics, create race tracks that defy gravity and allow Micro Machines cars to perform impossible loop-de-loops, flying jumps, and crash through setpieces for fun destruction…without any of the cleanup.
Engineer these tracks with simple-to-use VR controls either in an entirely virtual space, or bring the tracks into the real world with Mixed Reality on supported headsets. Race cars through tracks on the kitchen table, across the pool table, and around pets. Send cars flying through portals in the bedroom, and out through a portal in the living room!
Play through a campaign mode that combines both track building and racing. Each level presents a new mission: getting a fast time, getting enough stunt points, or causing the most impressive destruction possible.
Build a track that will satisfy these objectives, then pick the right car – that speedster might not be able to rack up destruction points like the monster truck, but it can set fast times. Each completed mission unlocks new cars and parts to upgrade vehicles for faster speeds, more stylish stunts, and even more destruction!
“We are excited to bring a new era of high-torque excitement to Hasbro’s Micro Machines community,” said Dave Rosen, CEO of WIMO Games. “We look forward to seeing the VR track designs that Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem will enable the passionate creators and engineers inspired by the storied franchise.”
“For over 35 years, Micro Machines have ignited the imaginations of kids, collectors and car enthusiasts which is a testament to the brand’s success and popularity,” said Eugene Evans, SVP Digital Strategy and Licensing at Wizards of the Coast and Hasbro. “As we continue to expand and enhance our digital gaming experiences, we’re thrilled to bring the beloved brand into the world of VR and Mixed Reality. We hope Micro Machines: Mini Challenge Mayhem inspires players to use their imagination and create dream racetracks to take ‘play’ to the next level.”
