- Oh yeah, Sharers!
This video was paid for by Mattel,
who helped us create it,
so you know its going to be epic.
And today, sharers, we are in Washington D.C..
And we're about to go upstairs to Hot Wheels'
top secret penthouse, where we're going to unveil
a top secret, brand new, exclusive
Hot Wheels product for you.
So if you haven't already, get ready,
because today is gonna be so epic!
Isn't that right, Grace?
- Oh yeah, Sharers!
I am so excited.
Hot Wheels has never came out
with a product like this before
and we're the first ones to see it!
Let's get inside and see what it looks like,
I can't wait.
- [Stephen] Okay Grace, hold on,
you gotta type into the passcode right here.
- [Grace] Okay
- [Stephen] Type in the secret number.
Pound, yup there, hit this right here.
Right, now door opens, perfect, unlocked.
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
Straight to the elevator, we're going
to the top floor, Grace, come in.
This is the secret elevator door.
All right, 17.
- [Grace] 17?
- [Stephen] Oh wait.
Its not working.
- [Elevator] Chip required to access elevator door.
You can find the chip hiding outside.
- Where is it?
- [Elevator] Hiding outside.
- [Grace] Someone's talking through that speaker.
- [Elevator] You can find the chip hiding outside.
- All right, we gotta go back outside.
It must be outside somewhere.
Go back outside we gotta find this chip.
Out here, Grace, this way.
Okay, its in the flower pot outside.
Let's see.
- [Grace] Are you sure its in the flower pot?
- Yeah, Hold on.
Check, check, check, oh wait, here!
- [Grace] Oh, there it is!
- Bingo! We found the chip.
Okay, let's take the elevator up,
come on, let's go.
(elevator ding)
- [Grace] Let's hop in.
- Let's see if this chip works.
Let's slide it right here.
Oh, turned green, and 17, top floor.
To the penthouse, let's do this, Sharers, oh yeah!
(beeping)
Let's go, Grace, to the penthouse, this way.
(gasps)
Let's go.
You ready for this?
This is gonna be awesome.
All right, you ready, Grace?
- [Grace] Yeah!
- Come on, let's go, let's go, come on!
- Whoa! - Oh yeah, this is
what I'm talking about.
Hot Wheels' top secret penthouse.
Oh my goodness, Grace, this is awesome.
- This is amazing, look at all this stuff!
- Yeah, this is what I'm talkin' about!
- And Sharers, come check this out, look,
you can see D.C.
from here.
- [Grace] There's the Washington Monument,
and the Capitol!
- And, Sharers, check this out, oh yeah!
- That looks awesome, I can't wait to play with it!
- Yeah, this is Hot Wheels id,
Hot Wheels' newest invention.
How awesome is this, Grace?
- Let's open it up.
- Yeah, so Sharers, this comes with
a bunch of new Hot Wheels products
never ever seen before.
Like this, the Hot Wheels Race Portal,
two awesome Hot Wheels cars,
and a bunch of Smart Track.
That's right, Smart Track,
this is way different than
any Hot Wheels you have ever played with before.
Grace, let's open it up and show the Sharers.
- Yeah
- This is going to be absolutely awesome.
Oh yeah, and check out all these cars.
Hot Wheels also sent us all these cars,
Like this Viper car.
And inside this car is different
than any Hot Wheels car you've ever had.
Because this, you can start tracking
your car's speed, lap times, all this awesome stuff,
with all the id that's inside the car.
- Yeah Sharers, and each one of these cars
are uniquely identifiable vehicles.
What does that mean?
Come check this out, and you'll figure it out,
its so cool. - Yeah let's start unboxing.
We'll unbox this huge set right here.
- Yeah, unbox it!
- Oh yes.
- So first things first,
let's go ahead and download the free app
in the Apple app store so we can get started.
All right, downloading it now, Grace.
Boom!
Got it, we're ready to go!
Okay, I'll open this one right here.
Check it out, a jump.
- I have a loop.
- I have an end piece.
- I have a jump J2.
- I have a gate G1.
- Oh yeah, and I have the booster, check that out.
Its even lighting up!
This is so cool! - Oh yeah,
and that's exactly why its called a Smart Track, Sharers.
We're gonna get into this,
this is probably my favorite part of
the entire Hot Wheels Smart Track set.
And within this booster, contains the portal
that we're gonna sync up to our smartphones
so we can play with the track.
- And now we're gonna take the two cars
that came inside the kit, and since they have
an NFC chip, all you have to do is
put it on top of the portal,
and it scans right into your phone.
- Got it, green car is in, ready to go.
- And now we'll do the same thing with the blue car.
Put it on top of the portal, and now its in the phone.
- And it's scanned in.
This one's called the Super Blitzen.
And now that we have our cars scanned in
we're going to do a little Smart Track.
So what we're gonna do is do a campaign mode,
and we're gonna use the Boost It,
and we're gonna do challenge number one.
And the first challenge trains you
to getting used to this booster
because its a little different.
So what we're gonna do, Grace,
is we're gonna hit race on the app,
and we're gonna get used to using the booster.
So the way you do this,
is, this is how you pump it, just like this.
Its all about getting the right RPM's.
- Yeah Sharers, you don't wanna go too fast
or too slow, you just want the right speed.
- All right, Grace, you ready?
- Yeah.
- Let's start challenge one, here we go.
- Challenge one - Three, two, one, go.
- I gotta do five pumps
all within the right rev range,
so far so good, and woo!
Challenge complete.
- Nice - That was easy,
so its all about doing the right amount of pumps.
- For the next challenge we gotta clear some room
because we're gonna use some Smart Track.
- Oh yeah, the Smart Track is right underneath here.
- [Grace] Bring that out.
- And this challenge is the oval circuit challenge.
Check this out, Grace, let's get ready to build it.
So for the oval circuit we're going to need to
connect this piece first.
- [Grace] Straight track, got it.
- [Stephen] Next we need the curve piece
- Got it
- [Stephen] Another straight,
and we also need the gate here.
And we gotta connect it all together
by adding the other curved piece.
- [Grace] Okay, you get that side, I'll get this side.
- [Stephen] And connect.
- [Grace] Perfect.
- [Stephen] There we go.
Oh, Sharers, hang on.
This next challenge on the oval circuit
is a little bit harder.
We had to have two Hot Wheels cars do 6 laps
with only 30 seconds.
Grace, this might be a little bit more difficult.
- 30 seconds and two cars?
- [Stephen] Yeah, so you pump
and I'll put the cars on and launch them okay?
- Okay, you launch I'll pump.
- [Stephen] You ready?
- Yep
- [Stephen] Here we go, in three, two, one, go!
- Pumpin' - And we got 30 seconds
starting now, and go.
One, woo!
And put this one in, Ah!
There we go, okay.
There we go, Grace, there we go.
We're getting it - Oh my, look at them go!
- [Stephen] Okay, they're almost done, and...
Six laps, challenge complete. - Oh yeah!
- Oh, and sharers, we unlocked a new car,
The Hot Wheels original Scorpedo.
- Okay, so now that we've done some
Smart Track campaign races,
let's do some Smart Track free play.
- Oh yeah, Sharers, so Smart Track free play
is we can build any track you want
out of the Smart Track.
And we can compete against each other
and do some awesome stuff.
So we haven't used the jumps or anything yet,
let's go ahead and use some of those.
- Let's use the jumps!
- [Stephen] Oh yeah, we'll do some curves,
some straight pieces.
Okay, let's build something really, really cool.
- Okay, let's build.
- [Stephen] Start off with the straight track.
- Straight track.
- [Stephen] Let's do straight
and then maybe after the straight, no let's do a loop.
Let's put a loop in, yeah.
- Okay, what's next?
- [Stephen] So then after the loop I'm thinking
let's do, like, a jump.
'Cause its gonna have speed coming down the hill.
- And then woo!
- [Stephen] Jump there, landing ramp here,
curved piece here, connect that there.
Straight piece here, connect that there.
And then another straight piece here.
And then for the final part
we're not gonna have this track connect,
but we're gonna go like this.
And have it go around the curve just like that.
- And the finish line.
- [Stephen] Into the gate right here, just like that.
- [Grace] Perfect.
And we'll put the end cap on
at the very very end.
Just like that. - Just like that.
Oh yeah.
- This is gonna be awesome.
- Oh yeah, so Sharers, this is our free play track.
Let's grab some cars.
I'm gonna do this awesome one, the Shark Hammer 2.0,
and I'm gonna try it.
You ready Grace?
- [Grace] Yup!
- Here we go.
All right, let's pump it.
Wait til' its in the blue.
And, will it work?
Will it not?
I have no idea, only one way to find out.
Here we go, ready Grace? - Yup
- Launching.
Three, two, one, go!
Whoa, whoa! - Whoa!
- That had a little too much speed!
- Yeah, it shot right off the loop.
- We might have to do a little modification.
I'm thinking, Grace, let's disconnect real quick,
and let's add this straight piece in right here.
Just like this,
it needs a little more room, I think, from launch.
So it has time to slow down a little bit
to go up the loop.
I think that was way too much speed.
- Yeah, let's try that again with this car.
- You ready, Grace?
- [Grace] Ready.
- Here we go.
Pumping.
Not gonna go as fast, I'm gonna keep it in the blue,
and we're ready to launch
in three, two, one, here we go!
There we go-- - Oh!
- It went right off the curve!
- Steve, let me give it a try,
I think I might be a little bit better.
- You've had a little more practice today,
so let's see.
Grab that car real quick.
Okay, I'll give you the same one, the green one.
Try this okay?
- Put it right here.
- [Stephen] All right, you ready?
- Uh huh.
Okay Sharers, let me show you how its done.
Pump steady, and go!
- [Stephen] Same spot, it went off.
- Yeah.
Let's try that again.
- Yeah, Sharers, since this is free play mode,
we may have built the track a little bit off,
so it might not actually work.
You know what I'm thinking, let's try something.
Let's go ahead and disconnect the jumps right there.
- Okay, yeah we can't have a loop and a jump,
that's a little tricky.
- [Stephen] I'm thinking its a little complicated,
so let's take the jump completely out
and let's just connect it like this.
So its, like, a super loopy, curvy course,
and then let's try this and see
if the cars can make it 100% around.
- Yeah, and hey look, its like an 'S' for Sharers!
- [Stephen] Oh yeah, Share Fam!
- Okay, let's try this one.
- [Stephen] And Grace, for good luck,
I'm gonna give you the blue Hot Wheels.
- Perfect, because blue is my favorite color.
- All right, you ready? - Yup
- [Stephen] Let's try 1400 RPM's for this
and see if it works.
- Okay, got it, let me see.
- [Stephen] All right, a little too fast,
slow it down, you wanna get it to 1400.
A little less.
There we go, right around 1400
and three, two, one, go.
Oh yeah!
Oh yeah, Sharers,
now that we've done some Smart Track free play,
I don't know if you noticed,
but this Hot Wheels penthouse has a bunch,
and I mean a bunch of Hot Wheels products
all laying around.
I mean look at the table, here.
There's Hot Wheels products all over.
- Yeah, are you thinking what I'm thinking?
- Sharers, I'm thinking we make one
giant, massive, awesome Hot Wheels course
all around the entire penthouse.
And the coolest part is
we can connect any Hot Wheels Track
to the smart track
with these awesome adapters right here.
So, Grace, we have the ultimate space
to build the coolest Hot Wheels track.
I say let's get building.
- Yeah, let's get building!
- And to connect the regular track
all we have to do is
take this end piece off right here,
take this piece,
stick it on just like that.
And then, Grace, can you hand me another
piece of Hot Wheels track?
- [Grace] Coming right up, Steve.
- Perfect, we'll take a regular Hot Wheels Track,
connect it just like this,
- Perfect! - and now we're compatible
with the Smart Track as well.
So here we go, the car would come just like this,
onto the other Hot Wheels track,
and let's build the rest.
Let's do this, Sharers, oh yeah!
(upbeat music)
- And Sharers, while Grace and I are setting up
this Smart Track free play,
I also wanna show you the digital side
of the Hot Wheels app.
It's so cool.
To access this, all you have to do
from the main screen
is hit the city mode, and then you can pick
digital courses to race on.
The first one I'm gonna do is the 'Learning Curve'.
So you can click race,
you can select the cars you have.
I'm gonna choose the Dodge Charger.
Oh and from playing before,
I have enough id to upgrade the car.
So before I race, I'm gonna upgrade a little bit.
Oh yeah, adding more acceleration,
some speed, some boost, some handling.
All right, let's go ahead and race it
now that we got some upgrades.
here we go, here we go, here we go!
And go!
So what you do is you use the keys
on the left and the right
to keep you in the center of the track.
So as you go around the curve
it gets a little bit harder.
But if you can keep in, that's good.
And if you hold down you can boost through.
Oh yeah, go, go, go, go, go.
Come on!
I'm in first place right now, let's keep it up!
I'm at 140 mph.
Come on, come on, come on.
And finish line!
Oh yeah, finished first place,
that is what I'm talking about.
And before I do any more digital races,
let's jump back in to our Smart Track free play,
and let's see if this track even works.
Oh yeah, check this out, Sharers!
We just built an awesome Hot Wheels track
around the Hot Wheels penthouse.
- Yeah this is looking really good,
but the question is, will it work?
- I have no idea.
So Sharers, the way this works,
is we're gonna start here at the Boost It stage
by pumping this.
Once it turns blue, we'll go.
It'll go just like the track we had before,
over the loop, around the curve,
through the straight, around the curve.
And then here is where
its going to get a little bit different.
This is what we haven't tested yet.
We have one booster right here.
We gotta turn that on,
Grace go ahead and turn it on.
- [Grace] Turn it on?
- Yeah.
So that's revving up,
its gotta get boosted through here,
the Hot Wheels car has got to come
down the track here,
around this curved piece here,
come over here,
make it to this booster.
Grace, go ahead and turn that on.
- [Grace] On.
- [Stephen] That one's on.
Its gotta go through this booster,
travel up and through the loop de loop here,
go through here,
through this 90 degree turn here,
do this straight away,
90 degree turn here,
and back through the Portal, and the finish line.
- Yeah, and the best part, we can race each other!
- Yeah, Sharers, so the track connects
back to the original portal,
we should be able to time each other
and see who has the fastest lap time.
- Yeah, through the phone.
- That is, though, of course,
if we're able to complete the track,
or if our car just falls off the track somewhere through.
- Yeah, its all about the cars.
- [Stephen] All right, so Grace, pick your car.
- Oh, that's tough, Steve.
I think I'm gonna go with the blue,
because its my favorite color.
- [Stephen] All right, put that one on the track
and let's get going.
Will this work?
I have no idea
- Hopefully I get a faster time than you.
- [Stephen] You ready, Grace?
Here we go, pump it.
So its in the blue already.
You ready?
Launching, ready Grace?
- Yep!
- [Stephen] In three, two, one, go.
Around the loop,
there we go, there we go, there we go.
Make it through the booster!
Oh, a little slow.
You gotta pump a little faster.
- Let's try that one more time.
- [Stephen] Okay, you ready?
Here we go, and... - Faster.
- [Stephen] Faster, and go!
There we go, there we go,
there we go, there we go.
And boost it!
Oh yeah!
Around the turn,
through the booster,
over the loop,
yeah, yeah, yeah, go, go, go!
And turn!
- Oh yeah!
15.89 seconds.
Steve, do you think you can beat it?
- I have no idea, its all about in the pump power.
Hopefully I can do it right, Sharers.
(screams) Let's do this, Grace.
One way to find out, let's go!
- Steve, you gotta pick your car.
- Well since Grace did the blue car,
I'm gonna do the green car.
- Okay, just like your shirt. - You ready for this, Grace?
- Yep.
- [Stephen] You know what,
let's start the boosters back up again.
Turn the boosters on, one booster here
- [Grace] Two right there.
- [Stephen] And we're ready to go, Grace,
we are ready to go.
- Okay, load it up.
- Okay, Grace, you ready?
- [Grace] Ready.
- RPM's, waiting for them to be right, and...
Here we go, launching in three, two, one, and go.
- [Grace] Whoa!
Whoa, whoa, turn turn!
Booster!
And the turn, and the booster,
whoa!
- Oh yeah, that's what I'm talking about,
14.56 seconds, Grace,
I am the winner of that challenge.
Oh yeah!
- Wow, Steve, I actually thought
I was going to win that challenge.
It must be the green car.
It must be the lucky one - Yeah this green car must be
the lucky winner.
Oh yeah, Sharers, well this is Hot Wheels id.
It was super top-secret, until today,
and you all are the first to know about it!
- Which is also available in the Apple store.
- Oh yeah!
