MAIN POWER switch (Located on the back of unit)
Star Wars® Racer Revenge™ supports the PlayStation®2 DUALSHOCK®2 analog controller and the Memory Card (8 MB) (for PlayStation®2) for saving progress.
To experience the two-player Versus mode, a second controller must be plugged into a controller port.
PREPARING To Race
Upon starting Star Wars Racer Revenge, the Main Menu screen is displayed. If a memory card is not inserted, a warning screen will appear, indicating that progress cannot be saved. While not required, a memory card is strongly recommended, especially for Tournament mode.
Main Menu Options
Once at the Main Menu, use the directional buttons to scroll between options. Press the X button to select an option.

Versus mode (requires two controllers)
Most players should attempt Tournament mode first, as it is the only way to unlock additional tracks and Podracers. Single Play and Versus modes initially have four tracks and eight Podracers available. Additional tracks and characters become available as they are unlocked in Tournament mode.
SINGLE PLAY
Single Play mode is for one-time races against opponents, open-ended practice runs, and Time Trials. In Time Trials, you attempt to beat your best time on a track.
•
Press the X button when "Single Play" is highlighted on the Main Menu to select it.
•
You will then be brought to the Podracer Selection screen.
VERSUS MODE
If two controllers are plugged into the PlayStation®2, you can select this option for head-to-head split-screen racing combat.
•
Press the X button when "Versus mode" is highlighted on the Main Menu to select it.
•
You will then be brought to the Podracer Selection screen.
You can toggle between horizontal and vertical split-screen play on the Options Menu.
TOURNAMENT
Star Wars Racer Revenge Tournament mode pits you against the best Podracers in the galaxy. Your goal is to win the Boonta Eve Classic. Before entering that race, you must prove yourself on three circuits against various opponents.
You must place third or better in every race to keep progressing. Your final placement in each circuit is determined in the last race of the circuit, which is a Title Race. You can re-race the final race to improve your placement.
Tournament Rewards
Placing well in races earns valuable truguts, which can be used to upgrade your Podracer. Truguts are also earned by knocking out (KOing) opponents while racing.
Tournament mode allows you to unlock new tracks and Podracers for Single Player and Versus mode. Tracks are unlocked as you reach them in Tournament mode. Podracers are unlocked if you beat them or take them out on the course where they are identified as the Track Favorite.
You begin with the four Track Favorites from the first circuit already unlocked as playable characters. Initially, you can start a Tournament career with the first eight available Podracers. As you unlock additional Podracers, you can start their careers too, but you will begin their careers back at the first race.
Each Podracer in the game has a separate career; your Tournament progress with one character cannot be transferred to another. To finish the Tournament, you must play through every race with the same character.
•
If you are interested in Tournament mode, highlight it and press the X button.
Podracer Selection
