S T A R W A R S EPISODE I - RACER Anakin Skywalker is no ordinary nine-year-old boy. And now, he must face the ultimate test of his young life - a Podracer challenge. It's a test of courage, fast reflexes, and quick thinking, as the opponents maneuver their nine-meter-long (30- foot-long) Podracers at speeds over 600 mph - flying just a few feet above the ground. Keeping a firm grip on the "reins", Anakin must fight to control his Podracer's screaming jet engines, while keeping a constant eye out for hazards and obstacles - and the dirty tricks of his fellow racers. For Anakin and his opponents, winning the race - at all costs - is all that matters... ***************** TABLE OF CONTENTS ***************** 0) UPDATES 1) GAME INFO 2) SECRETS & CODES 3) COMMON QUESTIONS 4) CREDITS 5) COPYRIGHTS 6) END ========== 0) UPDATES ========== NO UPDATES MADE * THIS IS VERSION 1.0 Version 1.0 This first version of this FAQ it's only a Secrets Guide, and because of the game's difficulty - I have finished all tracks with 1st place, but I want to make right the text - version 1.0 is only a secrets guide.

NOTE for cheats marked with "#": See section 4. NOTE for "Unlock all Cheats": The cheat also activates Jinn Reeso and Cy Yunga like the RRJINNRE and RRCYYUN cheats. * CONTROLS FOR DEBUG MODE * When the Debug Mode is activated, you can do the following with the control pad (the digital cross-pad on the left of your controller): Left + Z = See through walls Up = Fast-forward level Down = Re-wind level Left = Invisible Podracer Right = Destroy your Podracer * CHEAT CODES MENU * To activate the cheat codes marked with "@" (see above), type-in one of those cheats (see section 6 to see how) and, when you're racing, go to the PAUSE screen and introduce the following sequence in your control pad (the digital cross, not the stick): LEFT, DOWN, RIGHT, UP. Then, the "Cheat Codes" option will appear and the cheat/cheats you activated will be displayed, and you can activate or change the cheat options by pressing C-Left and/or C- Right. * TURBO START * The turbo start is a big impulse at the beggining of the race. To make a turbo start, press A and Up at the same time when you see the "one" signal about to disappear. * MIRROR MODE * It's a mode that allows you to invert the track horizontally. It can be activated in two ways: 1) The first is with the cheat code RRTHEBEAST activated from the "Game Cheats" menu in Pause. 2) The other is finishing every track with 1st place, including the invitational ones. Then, the main screen will be inverted and the option "Mirror: On/Off" will appear in the Track Details Screen. * AUTO-PILOT * First, activate the "unlock all cheats" code and while playing press R and Z to enable auto pilot, where you control only the speed of the Podracer. Press R and Z again to disable auto pilot. * PLAYER TAUNTS * To see your player and the track favorite player trash-talking, keep pressed Z when you select START RACE in your menu. This only works in the Tournament mode. * PLAYER TAUNTS 2 * Double-tap R and your pilot will talk (Sebulba will activate his flamejet, but he will talk too). * UNLOCK CHARACTERS * These are the characters that you can unlock and the tracks where you unlock them.

The truguts are the money to buy things. To win truguts, place 4th or better in the race. You can distribute the amount of truguts you win in the Track Details Screen in fair, by your place or winner takes all. HOW CAN I KEEP MY PODRACER IN GOOD CONDITION? You can buy pit droids to keep it in good shape, 'cause when the parts are damaged, they are less powerful. HOW CAN I UPGRADE MY PODRACER? When you finish the race, you can buy better parts to your podracer with truguts in Watto's shop. If you can't afford his prices, go to Watto's junkyard. In the junkyard he has the same things, but because they're used and slightly damaged, their price is significantly less. WHAT ARE THE CHEAT CODES? The cheat codes are secret codes to enhance the game, add characters, etc. To activate them, go to an empty file; to type it, keep pressed Z and select the letters using L instead of A, and when you're finished, select END with L. HOW CAN I PLAY AS JINN REESO? To play as Jinn Reeso, you must have Mars Guo unlocked. Jinn Reeso will take the place of Mars Guo. HOW CAN I PLAY AS CY YUNGA? To play as Cy Yunga, you must unlock 'Bullseye' Navior and have entered the Jinn Reeso code. Cy Yunga will take the place of 'Bullseye' Navior. HOW CAN I USE THE DUAL CONTROL MODE? To use the dual control mode, use both controllers 1 and 3 to move your podracer. Press up in both controllers to accelerate and back to steer. ========== 4) CREDITS ========== FAQ by.............Alberto Moreno ASCII logo by......Alberto Moreno Secrets by.........Nintendo 64 Code Central Alberto Moreno ============= 5) COPYRIGHTS ============= The Star Wars FAQs Collection Episode I: Racer N64 Secrets Guide ver1.0 (C)1999 Alberto Moreno.
