I agree with some of your favorite moments! Also, I'm a girl that likes these movies and grew up with these movies and I like to say that you inspired me to make my own top 10 list! So thank you kindly for that! ^^ I'm disappointed that BF5 is a thing. I mean I know I wanted the series to continue but BF5 is nothing like Highway 35 and Acceleracers. Tbh, the only characters I liked were Vert and Sage. But again. BF5 was a terrible way to bring back the series. And I'm sure those who watched it before probably don't remember it now. I miss Highway 35 and Acceleracers...so very much.
1- You're welcome, it's great to inspire people. 2- Highway 35/ Acceleracers is so GREAT, that's one of the main reasons that I bacame a Car Enthusiast, I mean, I love cars, and this series was the starting point. Also, it's the story of this series (So good and complex for an animated series) that made me interested in creating something like that one day. 3- I try to forget that BF5 even existed, it's like the opposite of Highway 35/ Acceleracers. BF5 is as bad as Highway 35/ Accelerecers is good (known what I mean?). 4- Maybe one day, when every director and whatever boss of Warner Bros and Mattel have changed, we get a propper ending to our series with the unfinished 5th and 6th movies, but until there I'll miss too.
Kaz Wheeler bf5 was not continuing acceleracers because on the back of the one pack hw boxes Vert had a different name while in bf5 the main character actual name was Vert
Wow thats great. Its extremely hard to find a girl that like *things with 4 wheels rolling with 2 of them on fire* (ya know what i mean). Also i agree with you about BF5, Mattel just made that to win money, like various others. The only thing i liked on BF5 was the new Red Power Rage that appears on the first episode and that muscle car that Verts dad uses on the BF5 movie. Also, good luck with your UA-cam channel! :D
Karma had the prefect line and strategy planned out, plus Taro is definitely one of the best drivers there; he was in the front almost all the time in world race, he was the only one to avoid the slam ram in the water relam, and he never loses a car until the ultimate race, (At least that what I think, as he just switched to Riveted instead of repairing his road runner.
@@lulu82o i think it’s so cool how they made every realm into a skill that must be mastered because they’re both skills for driving and metaphors for life. Nolo didnt just learn about staying in the groove of the track for optimal traction, rather the groove represents the state of flow or pocket of focus you find when pushing yourself to the limit without exceeding it like vert did in the water realm.
See that was amazing but then Vert Wheelers Deora ll gets chopped in half is my worst moment. Deora ll is my favorite car design as a kid and still is. I will love all three shows even though battle force v should of had a different leader. There should of been a continuation of accelerAcers.
Taro making it through the water realm a 2nd time had me at my edge waiting to see what happens. Showed how good of a racer he is and what happens with teamwork between Teku and Metal Maniacs. But for me, Vert being an acceleracer is No 1 because he felt like he fell after the world race. Then, his words to Tesla, “I used to be the best, maybe I can be again.” The acceleron calling vert a true racer was awesome. But what nailed Vert for it was when Kurt said Vert couldn’t handle it and Taro countered with that Vert could. Vert had truly earned Taro’s respect, moreso than what happened in World Race
My dad bought me all of these films in 2005. I was 4 years old at the time and had a mad hot wheels collection (I still got it) I am 16 years old now and the nostalgia this brings me makes me sad. when I was sick about a week ago I watched highway 35 all the way to acceleracers ultimate race. I love these films and go back to watch them quite a lot. It's nice to see there is still a pretty big fan base. A few things you may not have known about these films is that there was supposed to be 6 but the animation company was bought by sony and they cancelled it. Highway 35 is called highway 35 because 2003 was when Hot wheels became 35 years old.
Yeah man, I have a story that look likes yours with Acceleracers too. I guess everybody in this comment section has one. The reason for the highway be called "35" I didn't know, but the Acceleracers 6 and the reason for why it was cancelled yes. Anyways, cool story, It's always nice to talk to people that like this franchise like us
one of my favorite scenes that i never see people talk about is the first scene of acceleracers with tesla crashing nitrium, does a great job setting up the stakes of the series aswell as showing us that the cars arent just indestructable anymore
To be fair I would argue that the cars are still up to world race standards. In acceleracers they still beat up the cars with out taking damage. In highway 35 the cars don’t take nearly the same amount of punishment as they do in acceleracers.
if a 16 year old happened to beat the best racers in the world in getting and later returning the wheel of power, then it wouldn't be surprising that vert would get an ego. his character arc was painfully long at times, but worth it in the final battle with gelorum
Exactly, neither the kids that started watching from BF5 remember it anymore. I am not sure, but if I remember well they have cancelled because they have changed the director of the movies/television sector and the 1st thing he did was cancel Acceleracers because it was "too dark" (originally it was supposed to be 6 movies)
That was just plain bad directing. He cancelled Acceleracers, to bring in Battle Force 5, without any ties in the timeline at all. It even made for the perfect TMNT ripoff by adding pizza to the end of every episode, and nothing about the Wheel of Power was mentioned, nor how Vert even became involved with the Battle Zones.
I entirely agree with Taro redoing the Water Realm again as Number One. It's almost as if even the Writers knew it was meant to be super awesome, because EVERY other character was watching that run. Shirako even took his Headphones off! However, I would have to say that Vert vs. Gelorum would be 2nd to me. It IS the last race of the series, and has credit for that alone. My 3rd would honestly end up going to the sequence after Vert returns to Earth. The big Brawl between the Drivers and the RDs was good, and him escaping the Area amidst the chaos, with assistance from the Silencers is golden. It is Perfect Chaos.
Nice list. About the Vert VS Gelorum race, personaly, I think that would have been cooler if the race was "closer", for example: Gelorum stayed in 1st place almost all the race, my favorite part was the end of the Cosmic Realm, because you really don't know who is going to win (that's what I mean by "closer"). And personaly, I think that races like that are much more exciting. But good points anyway.
Well watching thru this a 3rd time, I've noticed I've commented twice, each with inconsistent answers. My OCD is telling me to make a definitive top 10 list here, and set it straight lol 10. Vert vs. Kurt, World Race Final Race 9. Nolo Wins the Swamp Realm 8. Escaping the Acceledrome, Begins Ultimate Race 7. The World Race Begins 6. The Battle for the Fake Wheel, World Race Race 3 5. Drone Kadeem fights Wylde 4. The Beginning of Race 4, World Race 3. Vert vs. Gelorum, Ultimate Race 2. Kurt vs. Markie, World Race Final Race 1. Taro Escapes the Water Realm
Vert was always my favorite character when I first watched as a kid. I have grown to appreciate Taro now that I'm older. He's such a badass but he's a good guy at heart. The character arcs in this series are so good, way better than most modern action movies lol.
Taro reminds me of Kimi Räikkönen. They don't talk much and often appear cold and unapproachable, they basically shut up and drive. But deep down inside, they have big hearts. They are also hella good at driving and didn't have the best luck. While Vert reminds me of Lando Norris. Young and talented, but can be overconfident at times. Vert not listening to Karma in water realm is similar to Norris refusing to pit for inters in Russia.
Was so pissed when BF5 became a thing these movies were my childhood i could tell you how many times iv seen highway 35 and all the acceleracers movies
Taro going through the water realm a second time never ceases to give me chills. I always got the feeling that was the only time he ever really pushed behind the wheel; certainly the best driver in the series by a long shot when he wants to be in my opinion, just prone to bad luck like in the Storm and Pipeline realms.
i like when shirako falls accidentally of the track of the cliffside realm and land at a lower point, further along in the track. vert does the same thing during the ultamate race to catch up with gelorum at the cliffside section.
These movies are a big reason why I'm a car guy now! This isn't about robots who happen to turn into cars, or people with guns doing heists who happen to use cars, or even cars just doing human things but as cars, but this is unabashedly about people driving cars, relying on them as vital parts of themselves. Without their cars, they are nothing but fragile humans, but with their cars, they are invincible. That's what I love about cars so much! I'm just a nerdy dude but in my Honda S2000 or Focus ST, I'm an unstoppable force of nature! That's how cars should make you feel and that's what I still strive to go after even to this day
Foreshadowing: Lani Tam in H35 says "This is an Interesting Problem" when Taro shows up. Taro says "Interesting Problem" during the Kurt thing in the Junk Realm
I wanted to see some closure between Taro and Lani because clearly Lani still has feelings for him. And then there's also Karma who seems to be attracted to him.
here's my favourites: World Race: -When tezla recruited the drivers from all over the world -Kadeem and Taro battle in the 2nd leg -Banjee and Taro battle in the 3rd leg -The start of the 4th leg, when Kurt steal the start and the other drivers chasing him -When all team working together in the 4th leg -Markie and Kurt battle in the 4th leg -Vert and Kurt battle in the 4th leg -When the others drivers join Vert to return the WoP, then battle against the CLYP AcceleRacers: -Nolo and Tork first race -The introduction of Shirako and Porkchop, when Shirako rocking up the rocks with light and music, and Porkchop enter the AcceleDrome with Old Smokey -Nolo wins the Swamp Realm -Lava Realm: When Vert save Taro, then Monkey and Porckhop arrive and kicking the drones -Taro's badass scene in the water realm -When Tork and Karma save Monkey and Nolo in the Metro Realm -When Metal Maniacs not accepet Wild as a leader -The conversation between Teku and Maniacs to save Wild -Teku and Maniacs working together and take over the drones -Vert and Gelorum battle in the Final Realm -When everybody start fighting the drones I'm sorry about my english and too much words.. Your lists also great
By the end of the series you realize that under all that muscles, skulls and rage, the Metal Maniacs are good guys (Maybe more than some Tekus), except for Wylde. He had to be tortured, lose an arm and saved by his brother to become a better persson...
Pedro 580 both the members of the Teku and Metal Maniacs consider their teammate's to be like siblings. Metal Maniacs - Porkchop telling Monkey that he has hydrophobia and Monkey comforts him. - Porkchop morning the lose of his big rig and Monkey morning with him. - Taro helping Monkey in the pipeline realm. - Tork feeling guilty for killing Nolo's brother even though he didn't do it. - The whole team rejecting Wylde as leader. - The whole team agreeing to follow Kurt to save Wylde. Teku - Karma trying to stop Nolo from making a big mistake. - Vert being reassured and encouraged by Nolo - Karma saying Nolo's starting to sound like his brother. - Kurt trying to save Shirako's life in the cliffside Realm. - Vert offering to help Kurt with his injury after storm realm. - The whole team agreeing to help Kurt save his brother. - Vert rejecting Accelarons offer to save his friends.
I just had an interesting idea for a realm. Its one with basically no time limit. The acccelrons loved to race so it could make sense that there could be a realm that they could drive to max with out worry
I find it so interesting that once we actually meet one, the Accelerons turn out to be these beings with godlike powers... Being able to effortlessly levitate massive objects at will, transmutation of matter (turning Vert's clothes into the racing suit), being able to just create powerful artifacts from nothing (the Wheel segment) and just as easily creating the technology of the portal, exactly on the track to take Vert home, also from nothing, and at a moment's notice. And yet even with all these phenomenal cosmic powers, they STILL just love racing silly little cars on their silly little tracks. Like that acceleron was CLEARLY decked out in racing gear. They don't even care that humans are so powerless in comparison, and drive relatively simple machines that run on Dino juice; Vert absolutely had gained the respect of the accelerons.
blame the newest Mettel marketing team at the time acceleracers came out, they thought it would've overshadowed the main brand and become more popular that Hot Wheels itself
People have mentioned some pretty good scenes, but one that I think also should be mentioned is when Tesla himself drives into the Pipeline realm to expose the Silencerz. Like.. he just goes in and does it! Shows he isn't a slouch.
Well, these are my picks for Top Ten (WatchMojo style) 1: Vert vs Gelorum Ultimate Race 2: Taro's 2nd Water Realm trip 3: Nolo's Swamp Realm win 4: Karma learns the skills for the realms 5: Kurt rescues Markie 6: Old Smokey's Last Run 7: Sweeper in the Pipeline 8: Porkchops fear of Water(?) 9: Rumble in Hot Wheels City/final battle (WR) 10: Vert conquers the mega loop (world race) Honorable mentions(?): Tezlas nightmare(AR); Vert "surfs" a lava wave(WR); Kadeem vs Kurt (WR); Vert gives Kadeem his winning check (WR); Taro in the Ice Realm (AR); Torks nightmare (?)(AR); Kurts redemption (WR); Ruins Realm (AR)
The chills I get years later says it all ❤️ not like I haven’t seen all of it a million times lol, today’s shows could never compare. Miss this show so much 😢 gotta say one of my all time favorites tho is Vert an Kirt taking on the drones at the end of the storm realm 💯 many more that could be mentioned but we all know the show speaks for itself 😂
Oh yeah the deal... I never thought too much about it. But thinking now, as Kurt and Mark have awesome driving skills, I thing they would be "hired" because of this, what makes me thing that they would be getaway drivers or something like that. But for a heist or what? I don't know. Great point this one that you mentioned, I liked it.
probably not drugs, i don't think hot wheels and matel would go that dark, even then for how dark the threat of the drones was, it was probably street racing or some form of cheating in legal racing. world race (highway 35) mention kurt being a professional racer.
Holden Mac’n’Cheese yeah and if it was some sorta drug deal we wouldn’t know either way and also half the Sonic shows turn things into robots its nothing new and unheard of
Well... why someone would ignore Porkchop and Monkey to drive a lorry down the throat of a sweeper at high velocity is beyond me. If anything was badass this was!
One of the scenes that always stuck w me was when kadeem got turned into one of the drones. It was pretty disturbing seeing the machine turn on knowing it was about to tear him apart.
Nice selection! My favorite scenes were both versions of the Drone invasion of the Acceledrome. The one in Tezla's dream and the one that took place in the Ultimate Race. GIG's betrayal is also a rather awesome scene.
Although i feel like the recruitment's in HW35 should have been an honorable mention, along with the reunite with kadeem in ignition. it made me so happy seeing those two scenes, the recruitment especially because we get out first look at the cars, and what tezla is capable of.
Here's my list 1. Nolo wins Swamp Realm (Acceleracers) 2. Taro redos Water Realm (Acceleracers) 3. Vert vs. Gelorum (Acceleracers) 4. Vert vs. Kurt (Highway 35) 5. Hot Wheel City (Highway 35) 6. Nolo hangs Tone's Necklace on Highway 35 sign (Acceleracers) 7. Tork saves Nolo (Acceleracers) 8. Kadeem & Vert Talk (Highway 35) 9. Vert and Taro save Lani (Highway 35) 10. Vert's Lament (Acceleracers) Cool video bro. :) This series was my childhood.
Haven't finished World Race yet, so here are my favourites from AcceleRacers : 10. Old Smokey vs The Sweeper 9. Shirako's arrival 8. Nolo finally admitting that Tork was innocent in Tone's death 7. Pork Chop winning Cavern Realm 6. Taro and Kurt at Junk Realm 5. Kurt saving Mark Wylde 4. Mark Wylde in the beginning 3. Nolo winning Swamp Realm 2. Tork vs Olivia Wilde 1. Taro at Water Realm *Edit : my favourite World Race moments* 10. Wylde brothers dueling at the last track 9. Banjee breaking the rules 8. Kadeem vs Taro 7. "Hey Taro!! Guess what, I'm gonna pass YOU!!" 6. Vert giving his prize money to Kadeem, who needed it more 5. Tezla selecting all the drivers 4. Taro and Vert saving Lani from the lava 3. Kadeem vs Zed-36 2. Vert vs Kurt 1. Highway 35 vs Gelorum and friends
im really glad with the direction the writers took acceleracers making it a much more serious and darker series. i wish this series continued and we got to see other drivers come ups like taro’s.
i 100% AGREE with your #1 choice, its suspenseful, the music is perfect, and ite makes me wish that they continued with the story after the ultimate race.
I found it interesting how the Silencerz treat Taro. Pretty much everyone else is just passed or even helped. Taro got rammed aside in Ice Realm and Metro Realm, and disabled in Tunnel Realm.
Fun little fact about the Nitrox after burner. Vert somehow breaks the sound barrier not once but twice nearly simultaneously. Even though he is in space.
It is obvious the Accelerons made it friendly to vehicles and drivers while did something to the Track to make that possible, like there is air around the Track.
I haven't even bothered to think about my fav moments because I just enjoy it all too much, but god damn ur fav one is def one I haven't remembered for a long time its one I enjoyed very much. You know sht is serious when Shirako takes out his music: 19:43
The fact that Taro tied for first two legs in a row with two different drivers in the world race and then finished a racing realm in under 20 minutes out of 60 simply proves that he’s the ace of the whole series. Tell me I’m wrong.
I honestly can’t chose my favourite or make list of favourites, because it’s hard to chose just a few when I just love the entire series as a whole. However I can chose my favourite movie. I would say highway 35 is by far my favourite out all 5 movies, so much so that I watched so many times I ended up memorizing the entire movie, music, sound effects, everything. Ultimate race comes as my second favourite out of the 5. P. S. I always love to see hot wheels content especially since there’s not much out there. I’ve been a huge fan since I was little. I’m sure that’s the case for most people too. Also if anyone did read all of my comment I truly thank you. I can tell that you’re a huge fan of the franchise and love to see other people’s opinions regardless if you agree with them or not. Sorry it’s so long, I just wanted to say everything I wanted to. P. P. S. I really wish they continued the series with the movies.
Brilliant list, however, highly disappointed to not see Porkchop and Monkey bringing Ole Smokey into the Junk Realm make the list. Watching the Sweeper explode is soooo bad assssss.
What a Legendary series. So sad that it wasn't finished. I still have all 5 DVD's and will never get rid of them. One thing that bothered me tho is how they never showed and just talked about some of the realms they raced in.
Honestly, for me #1 is when Mark Wylde fought Kadeem that scene was cool as hell."Alright Kadeem lets see what ya got". "Still human after all". I keep playing the fight scene as its so cool and btw how did markie survive not turning into a drone
I believe that they simply reached Markie before the next stage of the transformation (in that stage he was still human, only with a Drone arm). As simple as that sounds, I think that’s the way it is.
Flathead Fury was one of the coolest cars and I could never find it! Really wanted the Drone one, too. Kinda shows ya how things coulda played out for Markie ;P
bro im pretty sure everyone here has always wanted to fly through the water realm like taro did, they need to make something like this in real life i cannot stress this enough
the first part is basically the accelerons teaching them that what they see in the desert is not what it always seems, also jumping to conclusions can lead to unnecessary fighting.
My favorite moment would have be either be when vert looses half of the deora II when he barely makes it out of the storm realm or when gig blows up the acelledrome
I agree with some of your favorite moments! Also, I'm a girl that likes these movies and grew up with these movies and I like to say that you inspired me to make my own top 10 list! So thank you kindly for that! ^^

Candy-07 Wait you’re a girl that likes the hotwheels movies? Are.. are you a car goddess??

Vert was so happy because he was about to do it in 30 minutes, and then taro just goes ahead and does it in 20.
Hahaha exactly! That's so funny and also a reason why Taro is my favourite character. He's freaking badass
Karma had the prefect line and strategy planned out, plus Taro is definitely one of the best drivers there; he was in the front almost all the time in world race, he was the only one to avoid the slam ram in the water relam, and he never loses a car until the ultimate race, (At least that what I think, as he just switched to Riveted instead of repairing his road runner.
Without a hyper pod might I add
Im gonna pass ya
But Vert Can Compeleted all the realm Xd
Taro and the water realm is the hardest clip all time and it’s not up for debate
Bro Kurt doing that burnout and hitting that jump after has gotta be up there tho
Nolo starting up synkro to race torc in the beginning of ignition is my personal favorite
Taro finishing the water realm is tied for me with Nolo finishing the swamp realm
@@lulu82o i think it’s so cool how they made every realm into a skill that must be mastered because they’re both skills for driving and metaphors for life. Nolo didnt just learn about staying in the groove of the track for optimal traction, rather the groove represents the state of flow or pocket of focus you find when pushing yourself to the limit without exceeding it like vert did in the water realm.
@@nitroxdanarwhal9908 holy crap I never noticed that before!
19:43 such a suspenseful and overly awesome moment that Shirako actually took off his headphones to listen.
yeah, he even wears them in his sleep
Fun fact: that is one of the only 2 times he takes off his headphones, the first is in the cavern realm
@@devajaecheatham425 cavern realm he tossed them away only for boosting all of speakers on Bassline to maximum.
Something I’ll always love is how Taro kept the Scorcher car abilities in Acceleracers with the metal wheel plating and the battering ram.
And passed them to the other maniacs if I'm not mistaken, just like Vert passed the jet boosters under the car to the Teku
See that was amazing but then Vert Wheelers Deora ll gets chopped in half is my worst moment. Deora ll is my favorite car design as a kid and still is. I will love all three shows even though battle force v should of had a different leader. There should of been a continuation of accelerAcers.
@@dest3821the same people should have continued work on the world race and acelleracers.

Vert keeping pace with a mechanically perfect driver with hacks through every single realm is absurd and awesome. Thank you Vert
Vert really let the victory from highway 35 get to his head.
Dude won the biggest race they nerfed him
To be fair at the end he smashed all the realms without the accelechargers and still won the race
@@emissaryrnd1692 it took him the whole series to get to that point though. I suppose it was to let the other guys shine.

Joseph Stratemeier Absolutely right! Pretty much every character in this series act in a way, but deep down are different.
Taro reminds me of Kimi Räikkönen. They don't talk much and often appear cold and unapproachable, they basically shut up and drive. But deep down inside, they have big hearts. They are also hella good at driving and didn't have the best luck.
While Vert reminds me of Lando Norris. Young and talented, but can be overconfident at times. Vert not listening to Karma in water realm is similar to Norris refusing to pit for inters in Russia.
Agree with you for number 1 when taro have to begin the race from the starts
Yeah. He's my favourite character, but even if he wasn't this part of the movie is incredible
Martinus Gusto ye, bf5 really disappointing. I would be so hyped for more acceleracers
Do u think Dom Torreto can do that?
Shawn Tan Wai Kit totally
Tekku = tuners
Metal Maniacs = muscle
Drones = euro
Silencerz = exotics
I can hear the NFS Carbon Intro LMAO
The dialogue from highway 35 and the cinematics still give me chills to this day
Was so pissed when BF5 became a thing these movies were my childhood i could tell you how many times iv seen highway 35 and all the acceleracers movies
Me too
Nate I agree these were the reason I love cars, collected the toys, and even played Forza Horizon
Same
Benji and taro were having so much fun against each other lol
I gotta give Taro a round of applause for getting out of the water realm while time was running out
Taro going through the water realm a second time never ceases to give me chills. I always got the feeling that was the only time he ever really pushed behind the wheel; certainly the best driver in the series by a long shot when he wants to be in my opinion, just prone to bad luck like in the Storm and Pipeline realms.
love seeing other people’s hotwheels content :]
keep it up!
Soon I'll release the next video ;)
noloaf, dude do you think you can make a list like this? I love your channel!
Kadeem: I found the wheel of power, and now I'm going to win the race!
Kurt: NO
i like when shirako falls accidentally of the track of the cliffside realm and land at a lower point, further along in the track. vert does the same thing during the ultamate race to catch up with gelorum at the cliffside section.
Yeah, using their indestructible cars
These movies are a big reason why I'm a car guy now! This isn't about robots who happen to turn into cars, or people with guns doing heists who happen to use cars, or even cars just doing human things but as cars, but this is unabashedly about people driving cars, relying on them as vital parts of themselves. Without their cars, they are nothing but fragile humans, but with their cars, they are invincible. That's what I love about cars so much! I'm just a nerdy dude but in my Honda S2000 or Focus ST, I'm an unstoppable force of nature! That's how cars should make you feel and that's what I still strive to go after even to this day
"remember when we fought before? I WON"
Foreshadowing: Lani Tam in H35 says "This is an Interesting Problem" when Taro shows up. Taro says "Interesting Problem" during the Kurt thing in the Junk Realm
Now that's an interesting comment (This was suposed to be a joke).
I wanted to see some closure between Taro and Lani because clearly Lani still has feelings for him. And then there's also Karma who seems to be attracted to him.
here's my favourites:
World Race:
-When tezla recruited the drivers from all over the world
-Kadeem and Taro battle in the 2nd leg
-Banjee and Taro battle in the 3rd leg
-The start of the 4th leg, when Kurt steal the start and the other drivers chasing him
-When all team working together in the 4th leg
-Markie and Kurt battle in the 4th leg
-Vert and Kurt battle in the 4th leg
-When the others drivers join Vert to return the WoP, then battle against the CLYP
AcceleRacers:
-Nolo and Tork first race
-The introduction of Shirako and Porkchop, when Shirako rocking up the rocks with light and music, and Porkchop enter the AcceleDrome with Old Smokey
-Nolo wins the Swamp Realm
-Lava Realm: When Vert save Taro, then Monkey and Porckhop arrive and kicking the drones
-Taro's badass scene in the water realm
-When Tork and Karma save Monkey and Nolo in the Metro Realm
-When Metal Maniacs not accepet Wild as a leader
-The conversation between Teku and Maniacs to save Wild
-Teku and Maniacs working together and take over the drones
-Vert and Gelorum battle in the Final Realm
-When everybody start fighting the drones
I'm sorry about my english and too much words.. Your lists also great
"When Metal Maniacs not accept Wylde as a leader" - Epic!
By the end of the series you realize that under all that muscles, skulls and rage, the Metal Maniacs are good guys (Maybe more than some Tekus), except for Wylde. He had to be tortured, lose an arm and saved by his brother to become a better persson...
Pedro 580 both the members of the Teku and Metal Maniacs consider their teammate's to be like siblings.
Metal Maniacs
- Porkchop telling Monkey that he has hydrophobia and Monkey comforts him.
- Porkchop morning the lose of his big rig and Monkey morning with him.
- Taro helping Monkey in the pipeline realm.
- Tork feeling guilty for killing Nolo's brother even though he didn't do it.
- The whole team rejecting Wylde as leader.
- The whole team agreeing to follow Kurt to save Wylde.
Teku
- Karma trying to stop Nolo from making a big mistake.
- Vert being reassured and encouraged by Nolo
- Karma saying Nolo's starting to sound like his brother.
- Kurt trying to save Shirako's life in the cliffside Realm.
- Vert offering to help Kurt with his injury after storm realm.
- The whole team agreeing to help Kurt save his brother.
- Vert rejecting Accelarons offer to save his friends.
I just had an interesting idea for a realm. Its one with basically no time limit. The acccelrons loved to race so it could make sense that there could be a realm that they could drive to max with out worry
I find it so interesting that once we actually meet one, the Accelerons turn out to be these beings with godlike powers... Being able to effortlessly levitate massive objects at will, transmutation of matter (turning Vert's clothes into the racing suit), being able to just create powerful artifacts from nothing (the Wheel segment) and just as easily creating the technology of the portal, exactly on the track to take Vert home, also from nothing, and at a moment's notice.
And yet even with all these phenomenal cosmic powers, they STILL just love racing silly little cars on their silly little tracks. Like that acceleron was CLEARLY decked out in racing gear. They don't even care that humans are so powerless in comparison, and drive relatively simple machines that run on Dino juice; Vert absolutely had gained the respect of the accelerons.

I really wish this series didn't end on a cliffhanger and that we got that final episode before they cancelled it all. Such a shame really 😕
blame the newest Mettel marketing team at the time acceleracers came out, they thought it would've overshadowed the main brand and become more popular that Hot Wheels itself
It’s a bitch dude I was waiting on it too
People have mentioned some pretty good scenes, but one that I think also should be mentioned is when Tesla himself drives into the Pipeline realm to expose the Silencerz. Like.. he just goes in and does it! Shows he isn't a slouch.
Well, these are my picks for Top Ten (WatchMojo style)
1: Vert vs Gelorum Ultimate Race
2: Taro's 2nd Water Realm trip
3: Nolo's Swamp Realm win
4: Karma learns the skills for the realms
5: Kurt rescues Markie
6: Old Smokey's Last Run
7: Sweeper in the Pipeline
8: Porkchops fear of Water(?)
9: Rumble in Hot Wheels City/final battle (WR)
10: Vert conquers the mega loop (world race)
Honorable mentions(?):
Tezlas nightmare(AR); Vert "surfs" a lava wave(WR); Kadeem vs Kurt (WR); Vert gives Kadeem his winning check (WR); Taro in the Ice Realm (AR); Torks nightmare (?)(AR); Kurts redemption (WR); Ruins Realm (AR)
The chills I get years later says it all ❤️ not like I haven’t seen all of it a million times lol, today’s shows could never compare. Miss this show so much 😢 gotta say one of my all time favorites tho is Vert an Kirt taking on the drones at the end of the storm realm 💯 many more that could be mentioned but we all know the show speaks for itself 😂
That has to be number one. No other scene is better.
Let’s do it... GO!
When Shirako takes off headphones, you know some serious shit is going on
do any of you think the "deal" between markie and kurt was some kind of drug deal or something...
Oh yeah the deal... I never thought too much about it. But thinking now, as Kurt and Mark have awesome driving skills, I thing they would be "hired" because of this, what makes me thing that they would be getaway drivers or something like that. But for a heist or what? I don't know. Great point this one that you mentioned, I liked it.
probably not drugs, i don't think hot wheels and matel would go that dark, even then for how dark the threat of the drones was, it was probably street racing or some form of cheating in legal racing. world race (highway 35) mention kurt being a professional racer.
Brick_M13 you don’t think they would go that dark? They killed a character to turn him into a robot.
Holden Mac’n’Cheese yeah and if it was some sorta drug deal we wouldn’t know either way and also half the Sonic shows turn things into robots its nothing new and unheard of
My guess is a Nitrox Fuel Deal gone wrong , i real life Nitrous is illegal and i think the same rule would apply in the cartoon.
Taro having to redo the water realm is EASILY the best moment in the whole series
Well... why someone would ignore Porkchop and Monkey to drive a lorry down the throat of a sweeper at high velocity is beyond me.
If anything was badass this was!
One of the scenes that always stuck w me was when kadeem got turned into one of the drones. It was pretty disturbing seeing the machine turn on knowing it was about to tear him apart.
Great list, would've loved to have seen vert and kurt vs the drones at the end of the storm realm make it on here but hey maybe next time.
Nice one. I think the entire Acceleracers is good after all ;)
Nice selection! My favorite scenes were both versions of the Drone invasion of the Acceledrome. The one in Tezla's dream and the one that took place in the Ultimate Race. GIG's betrayal is also a rather awesome scene.
Agreed. Cool scenes. But my favourite ones are the racing ones.
To each his/her own. :)
Although i feel like the recruitment's in HW35 should have been an honorable mention, along with the reunite with kadeem in ignition. it made me so happy seeing those two scenes, the recruitment especially because we get out first look at the cars, and what tezla is capable of.
Cudos for including Nolo, bc that swamp moment defines the whole series for me
I agree 100% with number 1. When that music kicks in I get so hype!
Here's my list
1. Nolo wins Swamp Realm (Acceleracers)
2. Taro redos Water Realm (Acceleracers)
3. Vert vs. Gelorum (Acceleracers)
4. Vert vs. Kurt (Highway 35)
5. Hot Wheel City (Highway 35)
6. Nolo hangs Tone's Necklace on Highway 35 sign (Acceleracers)
7. Tork saves Nolo (Acceleracers)
8. Kadeem & Vert Talk (Highway 35)
9. Vert and Taro save Lani (Highway 35)
10. Vert's Lament (Acceleracers)
Cool video bro. :) This series was my childhood.
Thanks bro
The best moment of Taro being in the Water Realm twice!
Great video, appreciate you!!! I love watching these movies once a year, gives me the craziest nostalgia and sense of euphoria every time
One of my favorites is the short kurt vs banshee moment
Haven't finished World Race yet, so here are my favourites from AcceleRacers :
10. Old Smokey vs The Sweeper
9. Shirako's arrival
8. Nolo finally admitting that Tork was innocent in Tone's death
7. Pork Chop winning Cavern Realm
6. Taro and Kurt at Junk Realm
5. Kurt saving Mark Wylde
4. Mark Wylde in the beginning
3. Nolo winning Swamp Realm
2. Tork vs Olivia Wilde
1. Taro at Water Realm
*Edit : my favourite World Race moments*
10. Wylde brothers dueling at the last track
9. Banjee breaking the rules
8. Kadeem vs Taro
7. "Hey Taro!! Guess what, I'm gonna pass YOU!!"
6. Vert giving his prize money to Kadeem, who needed it more
5. Tezla selecting all the drivers
4. Taro and Vert saving Lani from the lava
3. Kadeem vs Zed-36
2. Vert vs Kurt
1. Highway 35 vs Gelorum and friends
im really glad with the direction the writers took acceleracers making it a much more serious and darker series. i wish this series continued and we got to see other drivers come ups like taro’s.
i 100% AGREE with your #1 choice, its suspenseful, the music is perfect, and ite makes me wish that they continued with the story after the ultimate race.
Cars in World Race
(crash into a cliff) "tis but a scratch"
Cars in acceleracers
(explode when a rock hits them)
It seems like that sometimes.
I found it interesting how the Silencerz treat Taro. Pretty much everyone else is just passed or even helped. Taro got rammed aside in Ice Realm and Metro Realm, and disabled in Tunnel Realm.
Fun little fact about the Nitrox after burner. Vert somehow breaks the sound barrier not once but twice nearly simultaneously. Even though he is in space.
It is obvious the Accelerons made it friendly to vehicles and drivers while did something to the Track to make that possible, like there is air around the Track.
my favorite was when vert started to drive with the silencerz in the 5th movie
So you are from 2021 as well? Hahahahahaha
actually I'm from 2099
Them you might know my grandson right? hahahahahahaha
yeah he's a great guy he loves that movie
@@o58-x3q I’m from 2021
I haven't even bothered to think about my fav moments because I just enjoy it all too much, but god damn ur fav one is def one I haven't remembered for a long time its one I enjoyed very much.
You know sht is serious when Shirako takes out his music: 19:43
The fact that Taro tied for first two legs in a row with two different drivers in the world race and then finished a racing realm in under 20 minutes out of 60 simply proves that he’s the ace of the whole series. Tell me I’m wrong.
Nice to see that we agree on the best scene
my favorite scene ever was when nolo beat the swamp realm on his own
When vert finally wins the wheel and when he finds what this dad's what to all this time
Who doesn't like taro completing the water realm again, that like my all time favorite.
19:45 you know shit is serious, when Shirako takes off his headphones..
Fantastic choice for #1. Taro going through the water realm is a core memory for me!
Omg I remember all these clips😭 i was soo young omg now that im 18 i wanna watch everything again!!
Tesla must've forgot to pay the light bill *eyebrow raise*
I think the music really complimented the intensity of #1
I honestly can’t chose my favourite or make list of favourites, because it’s hard to chose just a few when I just love the entire series as a whole. However I can chose my favourite movie. I would say highway 35 is by far my favourite out all 5 movies, so much so that I watched so many times I ended up memorizing the entire movie, music, sound effects, everything. Ultimate race comes as my second favourite out of the 5.
P. S. I always love to see hot wheels content especially since there’s not much out there. I’ve been a huge fan since I was little. I’m sure that’s the case for most people too. Also if anyone did read all of my comment I truly thank you. I can tell that you’re a huge fan of the franchise and love to see other people’s opinions regardless if you agree with them or not. Sorry it’s so long, I just wanted to say everything I wanted to.
P. P. S. I really wish they continued the series with the movies.
i think the end to the storm realm should be here. I just loved kurt’s slingshot and i loved the re design of it
This hurts my heart. Fuck battle force 5. Nothing will fill the void that these movies did.
This list is totally arranged in my personal favourites too! Man, we need Acceleracers 5.0.
Thanks bro, and I agree: We need it!
This whole series was a top moment....
taro usually had the most impressive drives/battles of both series
I miss this & I want to watch again :)
My favourite characters are racing drones (if you doesn't whatch this). And my favoutite moment is the end of breaking point, when Wilde saw rd-Kadeem
I see, I would ask WHY but your profile answers every question...
Hey HyperBeast same number 1
The Kedeem fight was actually pretty badass to be completely honest. I've been reminiscing about my childhood a bit so in gonna rewatch all of these!
The World Race one or the Ultimate Race one? Actually I like both, I put both in this video anyways...
Pedro 580 Most likely the world race, but eventually all of then to be honest. I can't say there's aovie that I really dislike
Agreed
Acceleracers 2 the speed of silence was the first I watched and that scean was amazing but the best song was verts go song and I listen to that weekly
Totally agree with #1 ....good job!!
Brilliant list, however, highly disappointed to not see Porkchop and Monkey bringing Ole Smokey into the Junk Realm make the list. Watching the Sweeper explode is soooo bad assssss.
yooo thaat first acceleracers clips was fire
First time seeing someone finish a race last looks badass
What a Legendary series. So sad that it wasn't finished. I still have all 5 DVD's and will never get rid of them. One thing that bothered me tho is how they never showed and just talked about some of the realms they raced in.
Yeah only in the cards we can see them...
0:28 when I was a kid I thought this guy had 3 feet, now that I drive I understand
9:53
"Nice shot, slingshot"
Josef 'Vert' Wheeler - 2003
Taro is a savage ass driver man
Banjee was always one of my fav characters but he is way to wholesome for Acceleracers xD
Honestly, for me #1 is when Mark Wylde fought Kadeem that scene was cool as hell."Alright Kadeem lets see what ya got". "Still human after all". I keep playing the fight scene as its so cool and btw how did markie survive not turning into a drone
I believe that they simply reached Markie before the next stage of the transformation (in that stage he was still human, only with a Drone arm). As simple as that sounds, I think that’s the way it is.
Flathead Fury was one of the coolest cars and I could never find it! Really wanted the Drone one, too. Kinda shows ya how things coulda played out for Markie ;P
did anyone else love the race between nolo and tork in the metro realm?
my favorite is in the cliff side realm in the ultimate race when vert says i dont need accelechargers
Kadeem: I found the wheel, and I'M going to win the race!
Kurt: *NO!!!*
I always loved that part as a kid.
I used to love watching this on cassette 😅😅
all my favorite scenes are the ones with shirako in em I love his actions and his bass sounds and acts like me lol.
best scene in the whole series is when we first meet shirako when wylde says that’s no metal maniac
my favorite moment is when Nolo races against Tork in metro realm
bro im pretty sure everyone here has always wanted to fly through the water realm like taro did, they need to make something like this in real life i cannot stress this enough
#1 moment was Kadeem fighting Wylde
the first part is basically the accelerons teaching them that what they see in the desert is not what it always seems, also jumping to conclusions can lead to unnecessary fighting.
My favorite moment would have be either be when vert looses half of the deora II when he barely makes it out of the storm realm or when gig blows up the acelledrome
cool
