He proves to be determined and laser-focused, completing the Water Realm in record time after exiting through the Racing Drones’ portal in their headquarters. As calm as Taro is, he is actually a bit arrogant. During the Storm Realm race, When Kadeem responded they could take on the Racing Drones together, Taro just said "I'm gonna pass you." And proceeded to just drive past Kadeem without questioning. Occasionally, Taro does have a sense of respect and is willing to help others, as he helped Monkey get through the Neon-Pipeline Realm, and when he helped the other drivers rescue Wylde.

Their attraction to each other becomes a rivalry on the road." - Meet the Drivers v2 “Formerly a loner, Taro Kitano found himself a home when he joined the Metal Maniacs. In this rough-and-tumble group, Taro has ironically discovered a place to relax. A cool and arrogant perfectionist, Taro is drawn to Teku driver Karma Eiss as a kindred spirit. But because they are on different teams, their mutual attraction is expressed in a special form of rivalry on the road.” - Meet the Drivers v1 ”Strong and silent, Taro Kitano’s samurai code of ethics gives him the focus he needs to excel.” - World Race Interactive Garage “Taro Kitano is a racing driver who has already won several international events. His code of ethics worthy of the samurai allows him to achieve excellence. When offered to lead the Scorchers for the World Race, Taro took a look at the '70 Road Runner and he made his choice without difficulty.” Affiliation: Good Vehicles:

Two years after the events Highway 35, Brian decides to assist Dr. Tezla in the Acceledrome, Age: 24 Appearance: Kadeem is an African man with short, black hair. Personality: Kadeem is kind and compassionate and is quite fond of Vert since they became good friends during the World Race. He also seems to be very introspective. Kadeem cares so deeply for his home that he is willing to put himself at risk fighting the drones to protect them. Bio: Brian Kadeem, recruited by Dr. Tezla, is a former World Race driver noted for his heroics and honesty on and off the track. Born in Africa, educated in England, Brian Kadeem is a young man of two worlds. After graduating, Kadeem returned to the Sahara Desert, where he drove dune buggies, trucks, cars--anything to save lives. Now in the race car Krazy 8s, he leads the Dune Ratz team in the World Race, both to put his amazing driving skills to the ultimate test, and for a prize that would bring relief to his childhood home. Affiliation: Good formerly until forced into Drones Vehicles: Kadeem's car of choice. Krazy 8's are powered by dual straight inline 8 engines, providing 850 HP alongside an AWD drivetrain as well as a paddle shifter. It's also equipped with spiked tires, Kurt Wylde is male and is Mark Wylde's older brother, a former spy for Gelorum, a former World Race driver, and currently a member of the Teku. Age: 30 Personality: Kurt has a black, spiketop hair, thick eyebrows and blue eyes. He wears orange goggles and a blue jumpsuit with various orange highlights and designs. In World Race his hair was higher, his goggles were yellow and he wore a purple jumpsuit. His eyes were a deep hazel color. He is a stern driver but can be wise-cracking at times. He has shown some remorse for his past actions. Bio: Despite a checkered past, Kurt Wylde has proven himself to be the bravest of the Teku. Kurt and Teku leader Nolo are very close, a relationship forged out of the one he never had with his own brother and now rival, Markie Wylde. Serious, aggressive and secretive, Kurt wants to prove that he is the greatest driver in the world - no matter the cost! The World Race is Kurt Wylde's shot at redemption, Once celebrated as one of the best race car drivers in the world. Kurt was recently accused of pushing his car off-spec at the Grand Prix and was disqualified. but Kurt's skills still put him at the head of Street Breed team, and many are betting that Kurt's Sling Shot race car will be the first across Highway 35's finish line. Affiliation: Good Vehicles: Sling Shot Chicane Battle Spec Mark "Wylde" Wylde is male and is a former Wave Rippers driver and is a member of the Metal Maniacs in Acceleracers. He is Kurt Wylde's younger brother. Age: 21 Appearance: He is a scruffy man with spiked black hair with sideburns. He has a five-o-clock shadow and wears dark round sunglasses. Furthermore, he wears a black tanktop and jeans, plastered with various belts and Metal Maniacs branding. Likewise, he has a dark blue tribal tattoo on his right arm, his left arm is replaced with Racing Drones technology eventually. Personality: In World Race, he is friendlier, however, similar to Vert, he's just as cocky, but he's also not as experienced. When Mark hit Alec Wood and Vert during the 2nd leg, he took the consequence of shame when Lani commented. He's disappointed to know that his brother Kurt was the spy for Gelorum, who had been trying to harm other drivers in order to win and ultimately get the Wheel of Power. He is also a bit of a hypocrite when it was shown in the Ice Leg that he said that "I don't need help to win, I don't need anybody!" although when the whole team comes back to where he was in the race he says: "win it for the Wave Rippers, Vert", and also when he is facing Kurt in the race he says: "I won't cheat to win!" despite minutes ago he had jumped through the ice-blocked path instead of helping. Acceleracers Mark got into prison for 2 years after he and his brother got involved in a shady "business deal". He became hostile towards almost everyone, especially his brother Kurt. He interfered the race involving Nolo and Tork, badly wrecking their cars, and took absolutely no consequence of shame. During the race to the old HQ, he knocked Chicane out of balance. He constantly tries to get into problems with his brother during the races in the Realms, vowing to settle everything with him. In the Ultimate Race, Kurt finally admitted that it was actually his fault, he didn't say anything when being confronted to protect his own ego, and ultimately pushing his little brother into prison. Luckily for Kurt, Markie wasn't turned into a Drone like Kadeem, and able to save him at last. Mark Wylde, now more levelheaded than before, with a calmer voice, thanking his brother for saving and finally reaching out, declared them even.

Personality: Banjee is wise-cracking and courageous, his expert sense of direction in the Puerto Rican forests made him the perfect leader for the Roadbeasts. Notably, he can be seen several times throughout the World Race shouting "Weppa!" Which is Puerto Rican slang used as a general exclamation. Bio: Nothing pleased Banjee Castillo more than racing through the rain forests of his native Puerto Rico. His incredible driving skills, sense of direction, and ability to navigate through maze-like conditions make him the perfect leader for the Road beasts team.

He wears Tone Pasaro's golden T Necklace, which has a piece broken off. Personality: He is confident and has a passion for driving. He has a fierce hatred for Tork Maddox of the Metal Maniacs, blaming him for his older brother's death. Bio: Early Life Nolo was orphaned at an early age, and was taken care of by his older brother Tone Pasaro. He grew up on the streets, learning the skills needed to drive. Tone Pasaro vs. Tork Maddox In the events leading up to the race between Tone Pasaro and Tork Maddox, Nolo requested to Tone that he would race instead. Tone jokingly remarked, "You want to be the leader now, little bro?" Tone departed Nolo with a piece of advice, comparing being a leader to taking a curve in a race. As the race continued, Nolo witnessed as Tone Pasaro oversteered too much into a turn and Synkro crashing into a building, exploding upon impact. Ever since then, Nolo Pasaro brew a hatred for Tork Maddox, blaming Tone's death on Tork, instead of a mistake caused by his brother. Nolo then presumably rebuilt Synkro, and took the mantle of Teku leader. Clash on the Coast Acceledrome In need of help, Kurt Wylde calls Shirako Takamoto and Nolo Pasaro to the Acceledrome. At the end of the Ultimate Race, he took off Tone's necklace and put it on the Highway 35 sign, serving as a memorial to Tone.

His left eyebrow has a small scar, and he wears golden earrings. He has the Metal Maniacs logo tattooed to his left arm. Personality: While aggressive and loud much like the other Metal Maniacs, he is also stern and level-headed, keeping the Metal Maniacs in check when they go out of line. He has a fierce rivalry with Nolo Pasaro, leader of the rival team the Teku. Nolo blames Tork for his brother Tone's death, but Tork often suffers from nightmares about Tone Pasaro's crash and shows remorse. Because of this, Tork didn't cause the crash and it was Tone's fault, not Tork. Bio: Tork Maddox is the tough, competitive and unapologetic leader of the Metal Maniacs. He constantly challenges himself whether it’s racing, fighting or playing sports. Tork first appears at the coast alongside Taro Kitano to race new Teku leader, Nolo Pasaro. What he does not know is that the race is actually a revenge scheme set up by Nolo to kill Tork who he blames for killing his brother. Apparently, Tork never told Wylde of his race with Nolo. Perhaps he knew Wylde would mess things up, which is ultimately what ends up being true. At the starting line, Tork has a flashback where he expresses that Tone "won't even make it to the finish." Taro says that Tone's a good driver to which Tork brags, "Oh yeah? I'm better." When the race starts, Tork quickly takes the lead while his opponent struggles. Tork smirks about this. When Nolo finally gets into the groove, he rams Tork from behind and Tork tells him to back off. Then Nolo pulls up even and yells, "This is for Tone!" and proceeds to try and push Tork over the cliff. Tork retaliates with a flame attack from his engine, forcing Nolo away. The fight is quickly stopped when Wylde squeezes between the and causes a massive wipe out that wrecks both vehicles. Tork expresses a lot of frustration at the destruction of his car when he is later seen punching it. Speed of Silence Tork is in the same meeting as all the other drivers before the intro scene where everybody is getting their cars ready for the next realm. Dr. Tezla wants to try out the accelechargers that were won in the Cavern Realm and the Swamp Realm. Tork finds that the Cavern Accele-charger iluminates dark areas and eliminates the need for headlights. Tork was then hit by Nolo and wiped out, leaving Nolo to take over the training track. Tork blew his engine on the track after trying to use Monkey's Nitrox 3 and a half. After the Water Realm, everyone is found sleeping. Tork has a nightmare of him racing Nolo's brother and crashes him which leads to Tone dying on the race. Tork wakes up to see a silhouette under his door and leaves to investigate. Tork heads to the cars area and finds Karma and Nolo talking to each other. Tork confronts Nolo since they are in the Metal Maniacs garage bay. Nolo had previously intended to sabotage the vehicles so the Teku can only fight the drones. Nolo throws a wrench but it misses Tork. Affiliation: Good Vehicle; Tork's only car is Hollowback. This gives the best track record for the Metal Maniacs and ties with Karma for best track record over all with cars, each only using one. Karma Eiss is a member of the Teku and their sole female driver. Age: 19 Appearance: She has dark, brown hair tied into a ponytail, icy blue eyes, and wears red lipstick. She wears a blue Teku jacket with orange shoulder pads with a white shirt under it, and blue pants, gloves and heel wedged boots. Personality: She is very calm and level-headed. She is quick learner, studying how the Racing Drones work and the purpose of the Racing Realms. Karma is more focused on winning races and beating the Racing Drones than the drama between the Teku and the Metal Maniacs. Bio: Karma Eiss is a raven-haired beauty with a cool, unapproachable air who constantly strives for perfection. She pushes herself and her car to the limit. Before Acceleracers Karma was a member of the Teku, knowing Tone Pasaro, leader, personally. After telling him to ease on the oversteer, he died in a crash in a race against Tork Maddox. She shows some remorse of this event. Ignition Karma Eiss debuts at the coast race between Teku leader, Nolo Pasaro and Tork Maddox, leader of the Metal Maniacs. After the race, GIG appears and tells the world race drivers that Dr. Tezla needs their help. Karma asks what the drones are and is intrigued when she hears that they are the perfect driving machines. She follows the Vert and later, Kadeem, to the Acceledrome where they a briefed by a holographic Dr. Tezla. Karma interrogates GIG in the briefing room when he explains how the Wheel of Power works. Perhaps she was skeptical of the legitimacy of the Dr. Tezla and the Wheel. The Storm Realm is the first realm Karma enters. Even though this is her first time in a different dimension, she is not phased, unlike fellow newcomer, Monkey. Kurt tries to give her some instruction on driving around loops, but she brushes off his help since she already knows what to do. During her first encounter with a drone, Karma expresses eagerness to test her skills against one by grinning. The RD-S1 unit uses proximity mines to stop Karma, but she quickly adapts and avoids them. The drone then pushes a button that detonates a mine near Karma's car and causes her to spin out. Kurt asks if she is alright, and she tells him to win the race. At this point, Karma truly understands how dangerous the drones are. Near the end of the Storm Realm, she offers Vert a ride out of the realm, but Vert decides to look for Kadeem. She takes Kurt out instead. Vert exits the realm with a drone and Karma does not hesitate to crush it with her car, saving Vert. Later, when the rest of the Teku and Metal Maniacs arrive, she helps them get their cars ready for the next realm. Shirako Takamoto stirs up trouble by playing his music loudly, but Karma turns it off when she hears the alarms that announce the opening of a realm go off. Karma tries to get on the track that leads to the portal, but Metal Maniac, Pork Chop, side swipes her car and sends her spinning into a stack of tires. One of the tires smashes her window, forcing her to sit out the race. She spends the realm meditating and hoping for the safety of her team. The Cavern Realm Karma races in the Cavern Realm. About halfway through the realm she passes Shirako and takes the lead. After clearing a loop, a giant bat smashes into her window, startling her. After Kurt figures out how to lure the bats away with Shirako's music, Karma safely exits the realm after Pork Chop and Shirako. The Speed of Silence In the second movie, Karma goes to examine the drone that came through the portal with Vert. As she approaches it, the bound drone "stands" at attention and asks her for orders. This startles Karma until Kurt appears and explains that the drone thinks she is Gelorum. Karma asks him what he is doing there, but Kurt answers with a vague "Just curious." Kurt then brings the subject back to Karma and states that she greatly resembles Gelorum, at least on one side of her face. Karma mentions that Kurt used to be a spy for Gelorum. Kurt claims to have not known Gelorum's true nature, and that he did not trust Dr. Tezla. Karma deducts that Kurt has trust issues because he thinks everyone is like him. Kurt reverts the conversation back to Karma's appearance and leaves, which seems to annoy her. A little while later, Karma hooks the drone up to a computer and test car that is suspended on hydraulics. GIG tells her that the drone's brain is ready to be studied, but Karma is only interested in the drone's driving abilities. She uses a virtual reality headset to simulate a track where she mimics the drone's driving style. When the simulation is complete she receives a percentage to rate her performance. The drone cheers when she finishes, which annoys her. Karma immediately goes to the control room to inform Dr. Tezla of her discovery. She explains that the drones master specific skills for each realm, allowing them to win. She elaborates by recalling the skills needed for the previous four realms the drivers entered. She states the Storm Realm was about ignoring distractions, the Swamp Realm was about driving the line with the best grip, the Cavern Realm was about driving in the dark, and the Lava Realm required the knowledge of how the track affects a car's tires. She finishes by suggesting that the realms were created as a test for drivers. Karma insists on letting her help the drivers currently in the Water Realm. Karma takes over Lani's position and contacts Vert first since he is in the lead. She begins giving Vert instructs on how to handle hydroplaning, but Vert is more concerned about how fast he can finish the realm. He asks how long he has been inside and Karma tells him "Almost 30 minutes." Vert says he is going for the fastest time and Karma advises him to slow down and listen, but Vert ignores her, resulting in him flying of the track and having to use the E.D.R. When the rest of the drivers reach the sea level portion of the track and fight the drones, Karma informs Dr. Tezla that everyone is alright after Kurt, Wylde, and Shirako get launched by the ram hyperpod. Dr. Tezla is only concerned about them winning though. Karma breaks a hard truth Tezla and says the drones deserve to win because they mastered driving over water. Taro Kitano attempts to take on the drones but ends up in their headquarters for a brief moment. When he escapes back through the Wheel of Power, Karma exclaims that he is back. Taro asks if he can make it to the portal. Karma confirms, but says he needs to stay focused. Karma guides him through the Water Realm in record time. In the middle of the night, before the Metro Realm opens, Karma spends her time practicing her driving while everyone else sleeps. She expresses annoyance at her 99% score and claims that it is "not good enough." She spots Nolo lurking around in the Metal Maniac garage with the intent of sabotaging Tork's car. Karma tells him to go to bed, but he doesn't listen. She deduces that Nolo doesn't care about beating the Drones but rather getting revenge for Tone. Unlike Nolo, Karma has accepted that Tone crashed because he drifted too far in a turn. Nolo claims that Tone did not make mistakes, but Karma mentions how he liked to show off while driving. Karma shows some remorse over Tone's death likely because she feels partially responsible. As the team strategist, Karma was responsible for her team's driving techniques. Immediately after, Tork's appearance angers Nolo into challenging Tork to a fight which Karma sees as pointless. The Metro Realm opens and Karma is one of the drivers called to race. The Metro Realm The Metro Realm immediately drops the drivers off in oncoming where they must quickly dodge the unmanned cars. Karma quickly finds the pattern needed to navigate them. A moment later she coins the name of the realm. After driving through the city blocks for a few minutes, Lani states that there's something wrong with the realm. Karma agrees, saying that it's too easy and that she's just driving on city streets. An 18-wheeler suddenly rams the side of her vehicle and tries to plow her into a skyscraper. Karma reverses to save herself and sends the rampaging trunk exploding into the building. When Tork chases after the Sweeper, Karma offers to help him by distracting the Drones. Tork tosses her the Cavern Realm Accelecharger which she uses to get the Drone's attention. She pulls up in front of the sweeper and uses the Nitrox 2 to push back sweeper drones. Four more drones, including RD-L1 charge Karma from the front, but end up driving into the mouth of Sweeper. After Tork rescues Monkey and Nolo, she tries to lose the sweeper by hopping over the median with the turbo jets, but is surprised when the Sweeper breaks through it. She gets a better idea and uses her turbo to leap over the sweeper and send it over the edge of the track. She carpools Nolo out of the realm. After she exist the realm, Kurt is accused of hiding an accelecharger that Taro thinks he saw him win. Karma attempts to comfort Kurt by implying that Taro would not lie about him winning, but it only angers Kurt. Affiliation: Good Vehicle: Karma's sole car is Chicane, giving her the best track record out of all the Teku racers for cars used, and ties her for first place, with Tork Maddox, for best track record overall. Dr. Peter Tezla is a former member of the Silencerz, the founder of SCRIM Corporation and the organizer of the World Race. He has a robot companion named GIG who assists him. Age: 51 Appearance: Dr. Tezla is an older man with silver side-swept hair, a goatee, and purple sunglasses. He wears a purple suit and purple pants. In Acceleracers, he wears a metal exoskeleton over his suit. Personality: World Race He is level-headed and intelligent, though he can also be short-sighted, not realizing the consequences of keeping the Wheel of Power in his possession until GIG was damaged. Acceleracers In Acceleracers, he would become very mysterious and secretive, often lying to the drivers for his own gain. He only gives out information if he feels someone needs to know it. Because of this, Kurt Wylde is very distrustful of him. He is borderline obsessive over the world of the Accelerons. Bio: World Race Ring of Fire Tezla is first seen lamenting his inability to get past the loop and jump section in the first leg using an unknown remote-controlled car, to which Gig suggests what is lacking is a "new kind of driver." He is later seen on the Deora II's screen after he recruits Vert Wheeler to the World Race. Tezla explains the car's equipment to handle different terrains and Highway 35's founding history. When ten cars started to begin the first leg Tezla states that any car reaching 300mph will open a portal. After Kurt Wylde wins the first leg, Tezla reminds him that it's just the beginning of Highway 35. Tezla tells Kurt that he can choose five new drivers to race for Street Breed. He states that the other drivers would be recruited and be led by Brian Kadeem, Banjee Castillo, Taro Kitano, and Vert Wheeler. The Greatest Challenge Tezla is seen disappointed when he finds out that Banjee brought unrecruited drivers to the first leg. Tezla explains more facts about Acelerons, the ancient inscription that's waiting for the drivers at the end of Highway 35, and the Wheel of Power's powerful source of energy. He later assigns drivers to race in teams to bring him the Wheel of Power. Tezla starts a race of twenty-two drivers and activates the starting drone. Desert Heat After Taro Kitano and Brian Kadeem tie in the second leg, Tezla tells drivers that they will share the pole position for the third leg. He also believes that the third leg can possibly be the final leg. The next day, Tezla prepares thirty-three drivers for the next leg and tells GIG to start the race. Wheel of Power Tezla later starts the final race, with thirty-four cars competing. He reminds all drivers that the fourth leg will be the final leg. After Vert wins the leg and gives Tezla the wheel of power, GIG reminds Vert that whenever a car reaches 300mph, a portal will no longer open since the Wheel of Power has been removed, which makes Vert furious. Taro and Vert break into Tezla's lab. Tezla uses the Wheel of Power's unlimited source of clean energy. The Wheel's power's energy proved too powerful, and it destroyed many electric circuits in the complex, even GIG. He believes that it probably blacked out North America. He states that he needed the Wheel's energy to benefit humanity, but Lani Tam and Vert tell him that it's too dangerous to have too much power of one person's hands. Tesla later restores power to the complex. Brian Kadeem was heading home when he notices CLYP Robots waiting outside the complex. Gelorum tells all drivers to surrender the Wheel of Power. Tezla tells Vert a writing on the ancient inscriptions "Wisdom is a circle. What you receive, you must give back." Before Acceleracers After the World Race, Dr. Tezla continued to study the Wheel of Power until Gelorum and the Racing Drones took it out of Highway 35. Dr. Tezla pursued them and nearly got himself killed in the process when a Racing Drone jet shut down his car, making him fall down the track and onto the ground. RD-L1 is given the order to destroy Dr. Tezla and promptly tracks him down, finding him and starting to rip Nitrium to pieces. Barely conscious, he presses the E.D.R. and returns to Highway 35 before falling unconscious and getting found by GIG. Failing to protect the Wheel and now with his spine permanently injured, Dr. Tezla feared for his life and built the AcceleDrome, far away from the Drones. He then wears a exoskeleton to get around. Affiliation: Good Vehicles: Nitrium GIG was a floating X-88 robot who was Dr. Tezla's assistant during the World Race and during the fight against the Racing Drones Age: Unknown due to being a robot Appearance: Gig is a floating computer with an egg shaped body and two gray fins. He has a shell-like head with two orange eyes and a gray fin on the back of his head. An orange screen on his torso displays the audio waveform of his voice. Personality: He is loyal and intelligent, yet often sarcastic towards the drivers in the Acceledrome. He assists Dr. Peter Tezla in monitoring the racers and helping put on the Exoskeleton. Bio: A self-contained floating computer, GIG is Tezla’s loyal and trustworthy robotic assistant. He is a very complex and intelligent machine. Unfortunately, his brain is vulnerable to tampering. Built by Tezla, Gig is an automotive super computer with a biting sense of humor who sometimes exudes more personality than his creator. World Race Gig was Dr. Tezla's helpful companion in World Race. He even made the suggestion to "find a new driver" which started the World Race, and the search for the best driver. Gig mainly stayed by Tezla's side for the majority of the World Race, activating the starting lights for the race, and updating Tezla and the drivers about various things. He even printed the checks for the winning team after Vert won the Wheel of Power. But after Dr. Tezla went to study the Wheel, it caused a power surge, shorting out any electronic devices within a few miles of the cube. Including Gig. Gig was eventually fixed during or after Gelorum's attack. Gig's shorting out also convinced the Doctor that the Wheel held too much power for one person. AcceleRacers Gig was a part of the Silencerz until Dr. Tezla reprogrammed him or so he thought. Gig was actually a spy working still for the Silencerz. Throughout the series, whenever Gig asked the drivers for the AcceleChargers so he can analyze them. He was actually switching them out for a cheap copy. So he can later give the AcceleChargers to the Silencerz. This is revealed in Ultimate Race, when he goes into X-88 robot form to get the AcceleChargers from Lani. Despite this he stayed behind when the Drones were attacking, and personally detonated the Nitrox 2 tanks, destroying the AcceleDrome and himself in the process.
