About LEGO Racers
LEGO Racers is an action-packed, racing game, filled with thrills, spills and exciting challenges. You will be up against the all-time greatest LEGO Racers, each one with a unique brand of clever driving skills and tricks to outwit you. You will have to master lots of driving maneuvers, and find out just when and how to use them. Then you can win races and become a LEGO Racers champion yourself. Turbo Start
The Turbo Start is all about timing. Watch the 3-2-1 countdown. As soon as the word Go comes up, hit the acceleration button. If you time it just right, you can start the race at full speed!
Super Sliding
Super sliding is a bit more tricky. Hold down the accelerator, brake and power slide buttons and turn left or right. This will make a very tight turn.
When you let go of either the brake or power slide button, the car will zoom off in the direction you are facing. Super slides are not easy and you will really need to practice to get them right. You can try them out on the test track until you become a super sliding ace.
Power Ups
If you want to be a winner, you will have to use power ups. Power ups range from basic shields or projectiles to ultra-powerful enhancements such as the awesome Guided Rockets or the mysterious Mummy's Curse. You will need to know how to use them all.
There are four basic power ups: Hazard (yellow), Turbo (green), Projectile (red), and Shield (blue). To collect a power up, drive through one of the colored spinning bricks on the track.
To increase the level of a power up, you can collect power plus bricks. Power plus bricks are the white bricks.
