In "The Return of the Mammoth, Part One," Racer X tracks Block to the Milwaukee Auto Show, where Speed Racer is showcasing the Mach 5. Suspicious of Block’s sudden change of heart, Speed returns to the car only to find Block and his ninjas in the middle of a high-stakes heist.
In "The Return of the Mammoth Car Part II," Racer X stumbles upon Speed caught in a high-stakes showdown with Block and his ninjas during a daring heist.

In the high-stakes world of the Atlanta Grand Prix, Speed Racer is pulled into a mystery when Inspector Detector enlists his help to uncover a hidden smuggler among the racers—someone using the race to transport a chemical key to cocaine processing. With speed and suspicion on the track, Speed must stay sharp as he races through the field, one wrong move away from exposing a secret that could end more than just a race.
In "Chicago Challenge," Speed Racer races through the city’s neon-lit streets, still hunting the unknown driver in league with the smugglers.

In "Showdown in San Diego," Speed Racer and his friends—Trixie and Sparky—head to the San Diego Comic-Con after a hard-fought victory, only to find themselves caught in a strange dream where they’re all superheroes. As Speed drifts off to sleep, his mind conjures a wild alternate reality, but outside, Mr. Dillin’s men are closing in, ready to strike.
