Luigi's Casa Della Tires is a recurring location in the Cars Series.
Appearance[]
Luigi's Casa Della Tires is a shop selling tires in Radiator Springs owned by Luigi and his assistant Guido. Out front there is a large stack of tires Luigi calls "The Leaning Tower of Tires".
Roles[]
Cars: The Video Game[]
Customization and using Monster McQueen in Exploration was yet to be integrated, but Luigi's still plays a role by being the location of the event dot for Luigi to the Rescue and Monster Truck Mayhem. Also, in Luigi to the Rescue, Luigi's Casa Della Tires is where Luigi must return to before time runs out once all the tires are collected.
Cars: Mater-National Championship[]
Luigi's is where Lightning can change his tires if he has found any of the eight hidden wheel sets spread across the explorable areas, but he can only wear them in Story Mode. The event "Big and Strong Again" also takes place here, where once completed, the player can go to Luigi's to change between normal Lightning and Monster McQueen in exploration mode at any time. "i Wanna Be A Monster Too" also partially takes place here, where Mater smashes through the wall after having been turned into a Monster Truck. In the final end scene, Koji can be seen receiving a tire change at Luigi's in the background.
Cars: Race-O-Rama[]
When changing tires, the player's Lightning will be shown inside of Luigi's, like in the prior game.
Trivia[]
- Even though Monster McQueen is depicted in all three pre-Cars 2 games, he can only be used in exploration in Cars: Mater-National Championship.
- Portraits of various characters such as Otto, Emma, and Vince appear in the building in Cars: Race-O-Rama.
- In Cars 2: The Video Game, holograms will appear of Luigi and Guido in their "Lightning Fan" alts in the store when no racer is using them.
