Unlike the film's main tie-in game (which is an open world racing game), ''Radiator Springs Adventures'' does not feature a main storyline and is instead a minigame compilation featuring the various residents of Radiator Springs.

After completing every minigame, the player will unlock "Legends Races", in which they will face a given character. Unlocked in a linear progression, the 10 Legends Races conclude with McQueen facing his arch-rival, Chick Hicks. 

The player can unlock liveries for McQueen by surpassing their fastest time on a given activity. Clips from the film are also unlockable by meeting specific criteria.
