In addition to these parts, the player can buy up to four pit droids, which are robots that keep parts maintained. Parts normally wear out from racing (except the least expensive parts in each category), causing their stats to degrade (potentially performing worse than a lesser part or even the base-level part). Each pit droid can keep one part in new condition, meaning that the player can keep at most four statistics maximized without another degrading.

Star Wars: Episode I Racer is a racing game based on the film Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace. It was originally released for the Nintendo 64 and Windows PCs in 1999, then it was ported to the Sega Dreamcast in 2000. It is unrelated to the similarly themed Star Wars Racer Arcade.

Story

A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away...

EPISODE I RACER

For generations, the GALACTIC PODRACING CIRCUIT has thrilled citizens of the Outer Rim Territories with its fast and dangerous contests of repulsor and turbine-driven land vehicles.

Amid the ruffian and racing elite, one champion stands above the rest. His name is Sebulba, a cunning and ruthless pilot who wins by any means necessary.

To challenge him, all the best Podrace pilots gather on the desert planet Tatooine for the legendary BOONTA CLASSIC determined to claim the title of fastest podracer in the Galaxy...

— Opening crawl [8]


Gameplay

The game is a science fiction racing game based on the podracing sequence in Star Wars: Episode I: The Phantom Menace. It features a variety of tracks spanning several different planets, including a version of the Tatooine course seen in the film. Racers pilot "podracers," which are nimble, high-speed hovercraft consisting of a cockpit connected to two large, rocket-like engines. The game includes all of the racers from the movie, who all have their own unique podracers, plus some exclusive competitors.

The podracer is steered by moving the analogue stick left or right. Holding the analogue stick up increases the speed at the cost of some steering control, while holding the analogue stick down decreases the speed but increases the steering control. It accelerates with A or brakes with X. Holding R while steering causes the podracer to slide around corners, similar to drifting using a handbrake. The podracer can roll onto its left side by holding Y or roll onto its right side by holding B, which can be used to make tight turns or to fit through tight passages. Podracers can taunt their opponents by double-tapping L. Using the D-Pad, pressing Up switches between four camera views, holding Down shows a view from the front of the podracer looking back, and pressing Left and Right switches between different layouts for the on-screen elements showing the course map and the positions of the racers.

When airborne (such as after launching off a ramp or when entering an anti-gravity section), the podracer can move vertically using the analogue stick with inverted flight controls. Pushing down on the analogue stick pulls the nose of the podracer up, which increases the distance the podracer can clear from a jump. This is sometimes necessary to make it over gaps in the terrain.

A semicircular "thrust meter" in the bottom-right of the screen shows the speed of the podracer. Podracers are equipped with afterburners that the pilot can engage for a boost of speed. When the podracer is at top speed, holding up on the analogue stick charges the boosters. This fills the thrust meter with red until it reaches the top, at which point the yellow light at the top of the meter turns on. When the yellow light is on, the player can release A, then press and hold A to activate the boost. While engaged, the thrust meter changes to black and fill with blue, and the podracer becomes more difficult to steer. Its engine temperatures rise as the thrust meter reaches its maximum.

If pushed for too long, the engines catch fire and explode, destroying the podracer and costing the player several seconds to respawn and continue racing. The podracer can also be destroyed if one or both engines sustain severe damage from colliding into walls or obstacles, requiring the player to steer carefully to avoid falling behind. Collisions while boosting always result in the destruction of the podracer. The status of the engines appears in an overlay whenever they take damage, with green showing a fully repaired engine and red indicating a severely damaged engine. The player can actively repair the podracer during a race by holding L, though doing so slows the podracer and impairs its maneuverability until repairs are either complete or stopped.

Modes

Star Wars Episode I Racer DC, Split Screen.png

Two-player split screen

There are several game modes available:

  • Tournament: The player chooses a racer and competes in a championship. Each race contains 12 racers (including the player) and lasts for 3 laps. Finishing in first, second, or third place awards truguts (the game's currency), with higher positions having larger payouts. The player can also choose "Winner Takes All," which creates a bigger payout for the first place winner but awards nothing for any lower standing. Truguts can be used to buy improved parts from Watto's shop. Races can be replayed, but truguts are only awarded when the race is finished for the first time (though the player can restart the race at any time through the pause menu with  START  to avoid a bad standing). Winning races unlocks additional racers and courses. The player can change to a different racer at any time (with winnings and parts carrying over between them). Progress is saved to a VMU.
  • Free Race: The player can play any previously unlocked course using any unlocked racer against one or more computer-controlled opponents. Winning races in this mode does not earn money or unlock tracks and racers. The player can set the number of laps (between 1 and 5), the number of racers (2, 4, 8, or 12, including the player), and the speed of the opponents (Slow, Average, or Fast).
  • Time Attack: The player races against the clock, with no opponents, to try to achieve the fastest time on any unlocked course using any unlocked racer. The player can set the number of laps (between 1 and 5).
  • 2 Player: This is a two-player split-screen mode where players can choose any unlocked racer and course. Players can set the number of laps (between 1 and 5), the number of racers (2, 4, or 6, including the players), and the speed of the opponents (Slow, Average, or Fast)
  • Internet: The game supported uploading the player's best race times to its official web site.

Racers

Each racer is rated in seven categories:

  • Traction: Determines the stability and handling of the podracer at high speed.
  • Turning: Determines the sensitivity of the podracer's steering control.
  • Acceleration: Determines the acceleration of the podracer.
  • Top Speed: Determines the maximum speed of the podracer.
  • Air Brake: Determines the effectiveness of the podracer's brakes (which helps with braking around turns).
  • Cooling: Determines the effectiveness of the the podracer's engine cooling (which affects how quickly its engines cool off and recover after boosting, increasing how often the podracer can boost).
  • Repair: Determines the effectiveness of the podracer's repair functionality (which allows it to repair more quickly and without losing as much speed or maneuverability).

Starting

These racers are initially available.

Parts

Star Wars Episode I Racer DC, Watto's Shop.png

Watto's shop

In the Tournament mode, new parts can be bought in Watto's shop before a race in exchange for truguts. The player starts the game with 400 truguts and earns more from winning races. When buying a new part, the game subtracts the value of the player's current part from the price of the part that is replacing it. More parts are unlocked as the player wins races. Purchased parts are shared between racers (if the player decides to switch to another racer).

Used parts can be bought in the junkyard. The parts and their condition are randomized. Parts can become available in the junkyard before they can be purchased in Watto's shop.

In addition to these parts, the player can buy up to four pit droids, which are robots that keep parts maintained, for 1,000 truguts each. Parts normally wear out from racing (except the least expensive parts in each category), causing their stats to degrade (potentially performing worse than a lesser part or even the base-level part). Each pit droid can keep one part in new condition, meaning that the player can keep at most four statistics maximized without another degrading.

Courses

The Amateur, Semi-Pro, and Galactic circuits are initially available and can be played in any order (though they increase in difficulty). Each consists of seven courses. The first course can be played immediately, and successive courses become available after completing the previous course in fourth place or better.

Each course has a "track favorite," a racer who is particularly formidable on that course and favored to win. Most of the courses unlock the track favorite as a new playable racer if the player finishes in first place (with the exceptions being courses where the favorite is already initially available and Sebulba, who is unlocked after the third time facing him).

All modes except the Tournament mode have a "Mirror Mode" option that allows players to race the track but flipped (meaning that left turns become right turns and vice versa).
