The game was officially unveiled at the 1998 Electronic Entertainment Expo in Atlanta, May 28–30, at booth 5626. However, Redline Rick rewards Putt-Putt a ribbon if Putt-Putt does not win first place in the race. At the end of the race, Redline Rick announces Putt-Putt as the winner with the medal and trophy. When all of the objectives are completed, Putt-Putt is allowed to enter the race. Putt-Putt has to find the number of important objects before he qualifies for the race (High-powered, high octane gasoline, super speedy radial racing tires, a safety helmet for Pep, and a triangular flag with a specific number on it as his official number). But he needs some things before he enters, so he needs to drive around Cartown and look for them. Putt-Putt and Pep receive a letter from Redline Rick inviting him to enter the Cartown 500, and he's been waiting for this type of event all year, so he's definitely going to accept it. The game was re-released in 2014 for iOS, Android, and Steam.
