Story
COURSES AND ARENAS
There are nine race courses and four arenas in Super Bombad Racing. To access them all, see UNLOCKING COURSES AND ARENAS.
RACE COURSES
CIRCUIT 1
NABOO SWAMP
The misty swamps on the planet of Naboo are home to ancient temples and exotic plants such as the giant tassler tree. Watch out for the local critters such as the fambaa and the ever-hungry fanback.
DUNE SEA
This arid desert on the planet of Tatooine is populated by dewbacks and trigger-happy Jawas as well as the bones of those lost in the frequent sandstorms.
THEED CITY
The grand city of the Naboo people, home to Queen Amidala, has lovely waterways, statues and picturesque architecture. It has recently been occupied by Trade Federation tanks and battle droids. Enjoy the scenery, but watch your step!
CIRCUIT 2
PODRACE
The setting for this race is the site of the famous Boonta Eve Podrace. You and the other Bombad Racers have decided to give it a try during the off-season. Check out the narrow canyons and wild rock formations that make this race course famous throughout the galaxy. Keep your eyes peeled for rolling boulders.
OTOH GUNGA
The underwater bubble city of the Gungans, home to both Jar Jar Binks and Boss Nass, is situated near a twisty kelp forest and a rocky tunnel. Beware of the lurking opee sea killer that loves to snack on passing ships.
MOS ESPA
Anakin Skywalker's hometown has a bustling marketplace, as well as Watto the junk dealer's elaborate junkyard. Jira, a vendor in the market, starts this race and doesn't like it when people drive too close to her stand.
CIRCUIT 3
CORUSCANT
This planet is one giant city filled with massive skyscrapers and flying traffic. This race takes place high atop rooftops, so be careful. It is a long way down.
POWER STATION
Speed along narrow, treacherous catwalks and race down hallways in the Theed Palace. Beware of the generator core!
DROID CONTROL SHIP
This is a Neimoidian-controlled ship in orbit above the planet of Naboo. Make sure you don't stray too far out into deep space. It's cold out there!
ARENAS
NABOO BATTLEFIELD
A great battle took place between the Gungans and a droid army on the grassy plains and hills of Naboo. Catapults have been left behind that can send you flying.
JEDI TEMPLE
This austere building, home to the Jedi Council, has many ramps and jumps that make it a great place for flying around.
GREAT PIT OF CARKOON
The dreaded Sarlacc lives in the Great Pit of Carkoon and will try to eat anyone or anything that comes too close.
HOTH ASTEROID
This large asteroid is one of many in the dangerous Hoth asteroid belt. The gaseous clouds as well as the rising and setting moon almost make the desolate rock seem like a nice place for a picnic.
GADGETS
There are five classes of gadgets that racers will encounter:
•
BOOST GADGETS Increase boost energy and let you go faster.
•
FORCE FIELD GADGETS Help protect you from attacks and collisions.
•
FRONTAL GADGETS Allow you to hinder racers in front of you.

PLAYING THE GAME
NAVIGATING
Use your left analog stick or the directional buttons to move through all of the menu screens in the game. Pressing the button confirms your selection. Pressing the button cancels your selection or returns you to the previous screen.
QUICK START
Want to start racing right now? Here's all you need to do:
•
First make sure that your PlayStation®2 console is turned ON. Insert the game disc into the disc tray then close the tray.
•
At the Title Screen, keep pressing the button until you're at the starting line, where your race as Darth Maul in the Naboo swamp will begin!
MAIN MENU SCREEN
Once you start the game, you will see the Title Screen, followed by the Main Menu, which has these choices:
•
NUMBER OF PLAYERS: Select the number of people playing. (You must have additional DUALSHOCK™ 2 analog controllers plugged in to select anything other than 1 player.) Certain game types are only available with certain numbers of players. Selecting the number of players will activate the Game Type menu.
•
OPTIONS: Choose this to adjust game settings. Move your left analog stick up or down to highlight your choice, then move the left analog stick left or right to change a setting. Pressing the button will bring you back to the Main Menu screen.
•
CONTROLS: You can reconfigure the game controls to suit your taste.
•
CREDITS: Choose this to see a list of the fine people who made Super Bombad Racing.
GAME TYPE
•
RACE: The first racer to complete all the laps of the race wins. If you place first you are able to save your race as a "challenge race." Requires a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2).
•
TEAMS: Only available for 2 and 4 players. The racers are all in two person teams (team 1 = player 1 and player 2, team 2 = player 3 and player 4, etc.). Whichever team gets someone over the finish line first wins.
•
CHALLENGE: Requires a memory card (8MB) (for PlayStation®2). Load a previously saved Challenge Race and try to beat the opponent.
•
ARENA: Use gadgets and clever flying to wear down your opponents' force fields. When you crash, you're eliminated from the competition. The last player remaining wins.
•
RACE MIRROR: Similar to RACE, but the tracks are reversed. See "unlocking courses and arenas" to make this option available. Press the button to choose.
CHOOSING BOMBAD RACERS
At the next screen, you'll choose the racer(s) you want to play. Use the left analog stick to move the selector. When you've found the character you want to race with, press the button. All players must choose a racer to advance to the next screen.
CHOOSING RACE COURSES
If you chose a RACE or TEAM game, you'll now choose a single course or a series of race courses. There are three circuits of races, each made up of three unique tracks. GALAXY CIRCUIT offers all nine courses.
Move the left analog stick to select a circuit, any single unlocked course, or GALAXY CIRCUIT (if unlocked). Press the button to choose. To access locked courses, see UNLOCKING COURSES AND ARENAS below.

Items & Weapons
TRAINING DROID
This droid homes in and bonks the closest forward racer in sight. If you look back, frontal gadgets can be fired behind you.
PROBE DROID
This insidious droid seeks out the 1st place racer and bonks him. An exclamation point (!) will appear above your racer's head if targeted.
PHOTON BURST
Pressing the R1 button will cause up to twelve high-energy photon particles to fly out of your ship.
FORCE FIELD COUPLER
Drains an opponent's force field energy and transfers it to your power cells-very useful in arenas.
TRACTOR BEAM

INVERSION RAY
Spins targeted racer upside down.
JAMMER
Scrambles the target racer's screen for a few seconds.
ION NET
When this shimmering energy net is used, it floats horizontally above the track, waiting for a hapless driver to encounter it. At that point the vehicle spins out of control.
GOO
Drops a small blob of goo on the course. If a racer drives into it, the blob expands to temporarily surround the vehicle, causing the racer to drive slowly and bounce along the road for a few seconds.
MULTI-GOO
This gadget is almost identical to the goo above, but it drops three goo blobs onto the course, rather than one.
ENERGY BALL
Anyone who runs into a Gungan energy ball loses boost and force field energy.
MULTI-ENERGY BALL
Same as a single energy ball, but three energy balls are deposited on the course.
ANAKIN (ENERGY COUPLER)
He drains a nearby racer's force field and boost energy, which might increase Anakin's capacities as well.
JAR JAR (TONGUE)
His tongue can grapple another racer and slingshot Jar Jar forward. He'll also grab a gadget, if the target is carrying one.
QUEEN AMIDALA (REFLECTIVE BLAST)
Her ship can emit a blinding flash that will temporarily "white out" the screens of nearby racers.
DARTH MAUL (LIGHTSABER)
Maul tosses his double-bladed lightsaber, whacking the closest racer and causing the target's shields to drop.
BOSS NASS (SPIT SPRAY)
He waggles his head and spit goes flying, striking everyone nearby, which lowers their shields.
OBI-WAN (LEVITATE)
Obi-Wan levitates the closest racer upwards and backwards.
YODA (FORCE INVERSION)
The Jedi Master causes all the other racers to turn upside down!
SEBULBA (JUNK TOSS)
Tosses dangerous junk that homes in on the nearest racers.

Learn the strengths and weaknesses of each Bombad Racer
For example, Yoda's top speed might be lower than some, but if he picks up a SPECIAL gadget, everyone watch out!
Keep an eye on the race map
Know when racers are coming up behind you, as they may be about to use a gadget or bump you off course. Take evasive action (bombad turn) or zap them (drop some goo).
Look for shortcuts
Find shortcuts in the courses to shave a few seconds off your time and find cool, hidden gadgets.
Perform a sharp, bombad turn
Hold down the button and the button at the same time to make a sharp, bombad turn.
Evade homing gadgets
If a homing gadget is zeroing in on you, an exclamation mark will appear above your racer's head. Perform a bombad turn a moment before impact and the gadget may miss you.
Master the gadgets
Knowing when to use which gadget is one of the keys to success. For example, hold on to that multi-goo until you boost in front of a pack of racers and then let the goo fly!
