Star Wars: Episode I Racer

Star Wars: Episode I Racer is a racing game released by LucasArts for the PC, Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, Macintosh, and Dreamcast platforms.

It is a racing game, putting you in the cockpit of 20+ different podracers on 25 different tracks on 8 unique worlds. The game features Jake Lloyd as the voice of Anakin Skywalker.

Tournament structure
Players can enter the tournament with a character and race for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, which earns the player prize winnings (if chosen) and unlocks the champion of the track. Not all tracks feature unlockable racers, however winning a race also unlocks new tracks. With the prize money, players can buy upgrades for their podracer.

PC version
The PC version of the game appears to be nearly identical to the Nintendo 64 one, except that Toy Dampner races on a track called Executioner instead of Malevolent. The cheat codes are also different, as well as additional cut scenes for the racetracks introductions as well as an opening cinematic (scenes of which were re-created with in-game models and tracks in the N64 version). It should be noted that in the PC's opening movie, Gasgano is seen being knocked out of the Boonta Eve Classic by Sebulba, though other sources list Gasgano as having finished the race. The music is vastly superior in the PC version (it plays from the CD and is in WAV format), and the speedometer uses vector graphics instead of raster graphics in the N64 version, for a superior effect. Also, the title screen is different, and the PC version supports multiplayer over IPX, instead of multiplayer on the same platform.
