Episode 1 Racer Tips
Tip: As soon as you can, invest in a full complement of pit droids; this will ultimately save you the money you would spend replacing the worn-out parts that reduce your pod's performance.
Tip: Save your in-race repairs for twisting areas or hairpin turns where you have to slow down anyway.
Tip: For big money (and impossible odds), jump ahead to the Invitational races as soon as they're available.
Tip: Experiment with each Podracer to get a feel for the one that best fits your playing style.
Tip: Try to stay in the middle of the track and on the road. The road has less friction, so you'll be able to pick up speed if you stay on it.
Tip: Press the SPACEBAR while you're turning. This will skid your Podracer, and make it easier to maneuver around obstacles.
Tip: When going over a jump, pitch up for a longer jump, and pitch down for a faster jump.
Tip: To fit through tight spots, flip your
Podracer on its right or left side by pressing the D or A keys.
Tip: Don't be afraid to let go of the accelerator
(W key) at certain times during a race. Even though you'll slow down, it
may help you steer
better.
Tip: Keep a light touch on your game control
device when steering. It responds to even the slightest movements, so avoid
the temptation to pull
it all the way left or right.
Tip: Pitch down with your game control device
when you want a higher top speed. Pitch up with your game control device
when you want
tighter turns.
Tip: Try to get a turbo start at the beginning of the race. To do this, pitch down with your game control device and hit Thrust at the right time.
Tip: Use the boosters wisely. They can make up for lost time, but an engine fire will cost you more.
