Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this LEGO-themed racing action game, players compete in the Galactic Racing Championship by challenging Rocket Racer and other alien drivers. The journey begins in Sandy Bay, where the player must defeat four local rivals to earn the right to represent their town. Progression involves traveling to diverse worlds like Dino Island and Mars to defeat boss characters and acquire vehicle upgrades for the final showdown.
Story
Introduction
After being defeated in the first LEGO® Racers game, Rocket Racer thought his racing days were over. While wandering through Sandy Bay, he discovered an advertisement for Xalax, the home of the race-crazy Ramas aliens. Impressed by his driving, the Ramas earned his respect and friendship, allowing him to rebuild his confidence and upgrade his car.
Rocket Racer now issues a fresh challenge to the LEGO worlds. Players must travel to Xalax to race against him and his alien friends for the title of Galactic Racing Champion.
You play as an inhabitant of Sandy Bay who decides to enter the championship. However, you must first defeat four other local inhabitants who also wish to represent the town. After proving you are the best candidate, you will travel to three other LEGO worlds to improve your skills and win new car parts.
Story Game
At the start of the Story Game, you select your LEGO® character. You begin in Brickton, where you will meet Sparky, the town mechanic, located in the bottom right corner. Use the Control Pad to navigate the town and the A Button to interact with markers to meet townspeople.
Visit the Town Hall to meet four local inhabitants. You must race each of them in turn to prove you are the best person to represent Sandy Bay at the Galactic Racing Championship.
Golden Bricks
After defeating the Brickton racers, you must travel to three other LEGO® worlds. These journeys allow you to improve your skills and win new parts for your car.
Traveling to these worlds requires Golden Bricks, which are awarded for winning races. The cost of tickets varies by destination; for example, reaching Dino Island requires fewer bricks than traveling to Xalax.
Bosses
There are three Boss drivers in LEGO® Racers 2. Defeating each one provides a car part that helps in the quest to beat Rocket Racer.
•
Dino Island: You will race Sam Sanister, who uses oil slicks to slow you down. Defeating him grants a better engine that increases your speed.
•
Mars: You will race Riegel, the head Martian, who drives a flying saucer with amazing shields. His Power-up can reverse your controls. Defeating him provides a Martian shield generator to make your car tougher.
•
Arctic: You will face The Berg, an ice-monster who does not need a car. He creates giant ice stalagmites behind him, requiring careful driving. Defeating him grants super-grip wheels.
You must defeat all three Bosses to receive an invitation from Rocket Racer to travel to Xalax.
Xalax
To reach Xalax, you must travel via the intergalactic portal in Sandy Bay. Once there, you will first race the best Ramas racers on their qualifying tracks. Completing these races proves you are worthy to challenge Rocket Racer, the greatest driver in the galaxy.
Map Screens
When you travel to a new race world, you will appear on a map screen. This functions similarly to the Brickton map: use the Control Pad to move and press the A Button to interact with markers.
Interacting with a marker may allow you to meet a local inhabitant, start a race, access another map, or begin a Bonus Game.
Story Game (Alternate Summary)
Rocket Racer never accepted his defeat in the first game and left the scene. After spotting an advertisement for Xalax, he earned the respect of the Ramas aliens through the intergalactic portal. He regained his confidence, built a super car, and launched a challenge to the LEGO worlds.
As an inhabitant of Sandy Bay, you hear about this challenge and decide to participate. You are not the only candidate; four other inhabitants also want to represent the city. Your first mission is to defeat them all. Afterward, you will visit three other LEGO worlds to improve your performance and upgrade your car, giving you the best chance to beat Rocket Racer.
