The single-player campaign of Hot Wheels Unleashed cannot be beaten until you unlock all nine secrets hidden within the various races you compete in. Finding everything this game has to offer will help you reach the game's ending and earn a special reward for your efforts. While some goals are tied to individual races, others are discovered by following different events in the story.
Unveiling each secret in the game and completing every objective in the campaign will unlock a secret car in Hot Wheels Unleashed called the Oldsmobile 442. This vehicle is extremely versatile, with nearly maxed-out stats in every category that defines the cars you can drive. The Oldsmobile 442 boasts 4 bars of Braking Power, 5 bars of Acceleration, 3 bars of Handling, and 4 bars of Boost.
The speed of the Oldsmobile 442 outshines even some of the rarest cars in the game. To check out this ultra-rare vehicle in action, check out the video below by YouTube creator Throneful:
All City Rumble Secrets In Hot Wheels Unleashed
Follow Hints To Unlock Every Secret
Many of the hidden parts of Hot Wheels Unleashed can only be seen once you have finished certain prerequisites that lead into other aspects of the game. For example, one secret may only be available for you to discover once you have already finished a specific race with one type of car. Thankfully, every secret has a Hint that gives you a good idea of what to do next throughout the campaign.
Always try to use your best car for races that involve a secret. This gives you the best chance to win with the highest placement, rather than only giving a mediocre performance with a car you like that has worse stats.
The nine secrets and their hints include:

Most of these vehicles are incredibly unique, offering you the perfect spread of stats to use in pursuit of the next secret on your list.
Once you claim your rewards from each task, you should consider using them online against other players to show off how much time you've dedicated to the campaign. While unlocking all the secrets in City Rumble may not have only been accomplished by you, the skills you learned through your efforts can help you win more races against skilled competition in Hot Wheels Unleashed.
