Hot Wheels Mario Kart Rainbow Road Raceway 8-Foot Track Set with Lights & Sounds & 2 1:64 Scale Vehicles

Hot Wheels is an American brand of scale model cars and slot car racing kits introduced by American toymaker Mattel in 1968. It was the primary competitor of Matchbox until 1997, when Mattel bought Tyco Toys, former owner of Matchbox.

Racing track set: In addition to the cars themselves, Mattel produced a racing track set. Though it would be updated throughout the years, the original track consisted of a series of bright orange road sections (pieced together to form an oblong, circular race track), with one (or sometimes two) "superchargers" (faux service stations through which cars passed on the tracks, featuring battery-powered spinning wheels, which would propel the cars along the tracks). An important feature here was Hot Wheel's use of wide, hard-plastic tires that created much less friction and tracked more smoothly than the narrow metal or plastic wheels used on contemporary Matchboxes; Hot Wheels cars were designed to roll easily and at high speeds, which was a great innovation at the time
