The game Star Wars Episode I Racer is based on the pod racing scenes from Star Wars: Episode I. The game features 5 different planets with 4 tracks each, offering a total of 20 tracks. At the start, only the first track from each planet and Anakin Skywalker's pod racer are available to play.
Winning races unlocks further tracks on each planet, allowing the player to choose the racers of beaten opponents. This adds variety to the gameplay, as all racers differ in top speed, acceleration, turning rate, and body strength. The racing mode is viewed from a top-down perspective, with one-on-one matches that do not include laps.
The game also features a turbo boost system, which allows the player's pod racer to reach its real top speed when the flashing light appears. However, overusing the turbo can cause damage to the racer. Crashing into opponents or track obstacles also causes damage, and repairing it during the race comes at the cost of speed and acceleration.
The game offers a two-player mode via link cable, making it suitable for local multiplayer sessions. The cartridge also features a rumble feature, providing an immersive gaming experience.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a sci-fi action-adventure game where players take on the role of a young Obi-Wan Kenobi. As a Jedi Padawan, you'll embark on a diplomatic mission to Naboo, which may escalate into combat against battle droids, testing your lightsaber, blaster, and Force abilities.
Story
Introduction
Young Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're an outstanding Padawan apprentice. Your skills are already quite impressive, and I'm proud of your quick thinking and resourcefulness. You are not yet a Jedi Knight, but your training is almost complete.
The Trade Federation has blockaded the world of Naboo. You and I are being sent by the Jedi Council to negotiate with the leaders of the Trade Federation.
Senator Palpatine and the Senate are depending on us to solve the situation for the Republic. If negotiations fail, we'll have to handle the situation.
Bring your lightsaber and blaster, and be ready to use the ways of the Force that I've taught you. If we have to fight, we'll be up against battle droids. This will be a true test of your Jedi abilities.
How to Play
Getting Started
•
Turn OFF the power switch on your Nintendo Game Boy Color.
•
Never insert or remove a Game Pak when the power is on.
•
Insert the Star Wars®: Episode 1 - Obi-Wan's Adventures™ Game Pak into the slot on the Game Boy Color. To lock the Game Pak in place, press firmly.
•
Turn ON the power switch. The Nintendo logo should appear. (If you don't see it, begin again at step 1.)
Main Menu
When you first turn on the game, a menu will appear after the logos. Move around the menu by pressing the Control Pad UP/DOWN. Press the A Button to make your selection.
Start Game
To begin a new game from Level 1, highlight START GAME and press the A Button. This will start your first mission.
Playing The Game
Lightsaber
Use your lightsaber to attack enemies with slashing moves, block and reflect enemy blaster attacks, and to open doors, turn switches, and destroy things.
To properly deflect shots from enemies, you will need to be facing the correct direction and will need to swing at the correct time (by pressing the A Button). Deflected shots can be used to hit the enemies with their own blasters.
The Force
Use the Force to move objects blocking your path, knock down enemies, and knock out shields. Knowing when to use the Force is something every Jedi masters.
Puzzles
Occasionally, you will have to figure out a puzzle to continue to the next part of a level. Use your lightsaber to deactivate each lever to open a door. If you are hitting the levers in the wrong order, you will take damage.
Picking Up Items
You will be able to find items that will help you on each mission.
•
Health-If you're running low on health, pick up one of these to get a boost of 3 blue health bubbles.
•
Ammunition-Pick this item up to get 10 shots of ammunition for your blaster.
•
Force Power-up-Pick up this item to get 1 additional red energy bubble from the Force.
Jump Pads
In certain levels you will see a small arrow surrounded by a circle lying on the ground. Stepping on an arrow will cause Obi-Wan to fly through the air in the direction of the arrow. Use these jump pads to get around levels, and jump over dangerous areas.
Menu Navigation
Highlight an option by pressing the Control Pad UP/DOWN, then Press the A Button to make your selection. Press the B Button to return to the Main Menu. You can also select BACK from the menu and press the A Button to return to the Main Menu.
Music
Press the A Button to change the music volume between HIGH, LOW, or OFF.
Difficulty
Change the difficulty between HARD and EASY by pressing the A Button.

Tips & Maps
Passwords
Passwords are used to start a game from where you left off or to restart from the same level after a game over.
Receiving a Password
At the beginning of each level (starting with Level 2), you'll be given a password to write down.
Using a Password
To enter a password, highlight letters using the Control Pad, confirm with the A Button, and select OK when finished to start the game at the chosen level.
Deadly Terrain
Levels can be dangerous, with electrified ground or deadly waters, requiring good timing and jumping to navigate safely.
Darth Maul
Obi-Wan must confront Darth Maul, a tough enemy, after freeing the Queen; find his weakness and attack when he is least prepared.
Enemies & Characters
Bounty Hunter
These are mercenaries paid to keep you from reaching your goals. Bounty hunters are best handled from a distance.
STAP
STAPS, or Single Trooper Aerial Platforms, are repulsorlift combat vehicles flown by battle droids and capable of firing a highly dangerous volley of blaster fire.
Destroyer Droid
These are perhaps the deadliest enemies. They are the fastest attack droids, they fire multiple shots at once, and they generate their own deflector shields.
Gun Turrets
These automated weapons are deadly. If they hit you with a stream of shots, you're going to lose 5 or 6 health bubbles.
