Cars Mater-National features an all-new international group of racers vying for their chance to compete against Lightning McQueen in the First Annual Mater-National Race Festival, hosted by Lightning's best friend, Mater. Explore the new and improved open world of Radiator Springs, play in the all-new Monster Mode, jump into the fast lane with six new International racing competitors, burn rubber on new tracks, and twist and turn your way through new mini-games like Ramone's Rhythmic Rumble and Fillmore's Fuel Frenzy.
Problems
Ghosting Mater minigame is impossible to win
In the minigame Ghosting Mater, the boosts from driving through the scare points are much weaker than they are supposed to be, which makes it impossible to win.
The reason is that the strength of the boost is dependent on the frame rate, and Dolphin runs the game at a higher frame rate (60 FPS) than on actual hardware (30 FPS).
To work around this, set VBI Frequency Override to 50% during the minigame.
