Single Player

Winning is everything

In single player mode, there are two options; play a quick race, or enter tournament play. In tournament mode, information about your player is kept, and you can upgrade your vehicle with prize money from races. You decide how to distribute the money: winner takes all, fair, or weighted. If you're good, then, you can really clean up, and buy parts to make your ship faster so you can win more races so you can buy more parts so you can make your ship fas. . .

As you progress through the tournaments, you earn the ability to pick from a larger assortment of ships, including Anakin's nemesis Sebulba. The different ships handle very differently, so there's a large enough variety to accommodate most racing styles.

Checking out the pods with Qui-Gon

Ah, Noobian. Yess, we got lots of those!

There are a few different ways to determine how to upgrade your ship - you can examine your craft in a 3D flyby, and see how all of your current parts match up. If you're ready to upgrade, feel free to visit Watto's shop and splurge with your tournament winnings. If you can't find what you need, there's always the junkyard, but don't expect everything there to be on budget!

That's a sweet ride

You can upgrade your pod's acceleration, top speed, brakes, repair capabilities, and so forth. Of course, as you continue to race and face higher level opponents, you'll want to keep upgrading your craft depending on your racing style and strengths.
