When the meteor creates a super-cat with all of the pup’s powers, the Mighty Pups must harness their new charged up superpowers to take down the villainous Copycat. Now you can charge up your PAW Patrol adventures with brand new Charged Up Hero Pups and vehicles. Scalextric is the synonymous brand in the UK, but others, such as Carrera and Anki Overdrive (now owned by Digital Dream Labs), offer racing ecosystems to rival the popular Scalextric sets. It raises the question: is Scalextric still the best? The cars fared better in our durability tests, though rear spoilers did pop out and have to be reattached. The base set works straight out the box.

It does offer unique racing modes compared to the other systems: including Battle (race until you drain opponents of all their health points), King of the Hill (take out the leader to steal the crown and score points) and One Shot (one health point, last person standing).

As such, we can't recommend going for Overdrive over Carrera or Scalextric. Which Scalextric, Carrera or Overdrive set is best for you? The Overdrive cars didn't drive that fast in our tests. Unless you were using a boost there was no jeopardy of falling off.

Arc Air powerbase has wireless controllers, allows up to two cars and adds pit stops, fuel, tyre wear, changeable incident/weather conditions and pace car for single player racing The Carrera cars were more fragile, with windscreens and rear spoilers shearing off in our durability tests. While its price point and features make for an appealing alternative, it was less fun in practice than Carrera or Scalextric.
