Putt-Putt 3: De Autostad 500

About Putt-Putt 3: De Autostad 500

The game uses most of the same mechanics as its predecessors, except the ignition key shown on Putt-Putt's dashboard, which had previously been used to quit the game, now opens up a menu, where the player can save or load a game, along with quitting it.

While playing with Pep, Putt-Putt receives an invitation from Redline Rick to enter the Cartown 500 race. Excited, Putt-Putt goes to the Speedway to sign up. At the speedway, Redline Rick tells Putt-Putt that he needs a special kind of fuel, more durable tires, a safety helmet for Pep to wear, and a racing flag. Determined to enter the race, Putt-Putt decides to collect those items around Cartown.

After collecting all four items, Putt-Putt returns to the Speedway and prepares for the race. The game's ending depends on the outcome of the race: Putt-Putt receives a trophy from Redline Rick and is announced to the audience if he finishes in the top 3 but is given a ribbon for his good sportsmanship if he finishes the race 4th to 7th. Regardless, Putt-Putt thanks everyone in Cartown for their part in getting the items he needed to participate and declares, "It's not if you win or lose. It's how you race around the track!"
