Mad Tracks

Mad Tracks, also known as Small Cars 3D in France, is a 2006 racing video game developed by Load Inc. and published by various publishers for several platforms. Inspired by toy cars produced by Darda, players control spring-powered toy cars and compete in racing competitions and minigames through various everyday environments.

Mad Tracks is the debut title for the Paris-based studio Load Inc. It was originally a licensed game based on the Darda toy cars but was reworked and retitled after the studio failed to secure the intellectual rights to use the brand. It was originally released for Microsoft Windows in 2006. It was later ported to the Xbox 360 via Xbox Live Arcade on May 30, 2007, and became backwards compatible with Xbox One in February 2017. It was also released on the Wii in Europe and Australia in 2009, followed by a mobile port on iOS in 2011 and Android a year later. In February 2019, it was announced that the game was delisted from Xbox Live Arcade because of a change in publishing rights from D3 Publisher to Plug In Digital. The latter released a reworked high-definition version of the game for Steam on March 10, 2020.

The game was a commercial and critical success, being praised by critics and journalists for its multiplayer elements.
