- It's back! After 14 years I'm able to play my most favorite racing game out there:
Star Wars Episode 1: Racer
The track you see here is one of the hardest tracks out there. Fall down at the beginning and your race is almost over...Almost....

The nostalgia with this game. I remember being around 7, getting to this stage was the bane of my existence. It took me forever to beat it but when I did I screamed around my house with my mom and sister confused on what happened. That was one of the best feelings in my childhood and I’m excited to relive that again.
I can completely agree with you. I played it when I around 6 years and was only able to beat this stage once in my life....it took me one whole year 😅. I just love this game and I'm glad I'm not the only one🤗👍🏼
Epic!!!!!!!!! This level was beyond challenging bro
I played this when I was really young. I was born in 2004 but I had older cousins who had an n64 and I still have it to this day. It’s so great
YEEES! I was seven when me and my brother tried to get through this stage. We both were screaming and jumping when we finally did it. So epic moment 😂
Exactly the same for me. Good times
Imagine trying to play through this stage as a 9 year old using a N64 controller.
As someone that did it back in the day on a Nintendo 64 controller it drove me up the damn wall but after countless tries, I finally did it. Now I’m excited to do it again on my PS five with a much better controller.
@@jonathanj.3695 I still do it...
I love how the game in general is just so unapologetically difficult. It plays exactly how I feel a real pod race would be like, insanely fast and extremely fatal
Weird... I find this game to be easy, at least in regards to beating the AI. Then again I play the PC version which runs and controls more smoothly than the N64 version. What I find difficult, though, is pushing the limits of how freakin' fast you can get around a track. Once you're up to full upgrades you can beat the AI without even boosting once you get the hang of things, just play things safe and keep your speed up whenever possible. But when you're cutting as close to the inside of each corner as possible, boosting at the most optimal points and holding that boost for as long as possible, while simultaneously threading the needle between obstacles... that's when this game becomes truly hard, and when the sense of speed is at its peak.
@@VestedUTuber The game is easy. I remember playing this game as a kid and having problems with this sky planet. I did not beat it as a kid (when I rented it). Played on the Switch and beat it quite easily... I think the AI is the problem. Because in some levels I did crash a lot, but I was so ahead it didn't matter... The tracks are challening, but the AI is too slow.
@@gundamzerostrike
At one point I actually got curious about why the AI is so bad and decided to sandbag in order to observe it, turns out that at the start of the race they tend to bunch up off the starting grid and that really slows all of them down until they unbunch, which can take a good 30 seconds in some cases (like on Baroo Coast, Grabvine Gateway and Fire Mountain Rally). This is on top of their already typically slow pace, though I have had situations where if I ran faster than a certain time the AI would somehow finish within a couple seconds of me even though they were nowhere to be seen on the radar, but if I were to have finished only a couple seconds slower they'd be as far back as a minute behind.
Honestly, the AI is really weird in this game. It seems like they had to compensate for people playing with different upgrade configurations and ended up going a bit too far in the opposite direction.
The reason I mentioned the N64 version being a bit harder, though, is because that version has a nasty amount of controller lag due to the game often suffering from framerate drops and the fact that it was developed in an era back when framerate and game ticks couldn't be isolated easily.
@@VestedUTuber Yeah. This game needs a true remaster. They just need to add a few new tracks, new game modes (elimination mode or something like that) and remaster de visuals. I'm not even asking for a full remake, just add some new textures and few more polygons here and htere and we would have a new classic in our hands.
You are the first person I know that wins this track even after falling to the bottom path. Respect.
Thanks man 🤗
this really allows u to fall once in 3 laps
The best I've managed to salvage is 3rd place tho I fell off on the 3rd lap.
I hated falling down the pit, I would rage reset u til I got a perfect run lol
I just beat it and fell off it twice, stayed on top once. idk how, but it happened. I did well for the rest of the track with no wrecking, so that'd probably do it
I remember playing through this on my keyboard at 10 years old. I must have had the reflexes of a cat.
I remember being so happy finally seeing that pit droid guiding Bozzie Baranta’s racer into my garage as a kid 😂. Dude wasn’t even in the movie and yet unlocking him felt like a bigger accomplishment than Sebulba.
Hahaha, a seriously memorable moment. I remember almost losing my mind trying to win this race as a kid
And Baranta's podracer model name (Shelba Razor) is a pun on Carroll Shelby who was a famous racer. It's strange that wookiepedia does NOT confirm this. But it's such a dead-giveaway pun. Pfft.
I didn’t realize that the top level went to a different path. So I had wtf moment when I was suddenly in 7th place lol
Haha yeah. I had that same wtf moment when I was a young boy 15 years ago 😅
@@jamie_michelson same me and my sibs had no answer to this stage or any others after this so we gave up only 25 plus years later i only managed with niva kee and the near maxed out speed to 940 decent turning accle and something else breaks i guess was a nice touch on making niva the most broken att now its less likely but wouldnt you know it i lost anyway to this blasted stage
This track as a kid felt absolutely impossible, I remember on the N64 the fps + CRT visibility made this track a nightmare, coupled with insane ai, 1 crash meant pretty much the end.
This was one of my first star wars games. I was really young when i played it. Ahh memories.
This was the only track I could not get a 1st place on as a kid. It's tough and the AI is insane.
Same here. Wasn´t able to beat it as a kid 😅
That only happened when you ended up taking the bottom path, I just saw that as a bug tbh
@@Anonymys43 problem with the bottom path here is that you have to take that insanely long detour
Seeing that it IS possible to reclaim the 1st place spot after falling off the top gives me the incentive to boot up the game & try it again! The only racer that I came close to finishing this race with when it first came out was Bullseye, but I still ended up in 4th place.
this was the best racing game for the n64! im so glad they remade it :D the reflexes needed on some of those tracks was insane!
One of my favorite Star Wars games when i was a kid. No joke this track is insane. It took me at least 20 tries to beat it on my Switch the other day. Even the next hardest track, Fire Mountain Rally or Boonta Classic imo, are cake compared to Abyss.
That's our childhood...yes.
I have to admit that I did it first try....I'm sorry for that 😅
@@jamie_michelson I gotta say that's impressive. I just couldn't stay on the top track.
@@AxelOwnz That's the hardest part. As you saw in my video I fell down once but I still made it. If your pod is fast enough you can fall down but not in the first lap. Then it's game over
@@jamie_michelson Eh, you can fall down in the first lap and still win, you just need to stay up 2/3 times really (though if you fall down in the first you might as well restart to save time as it's right at the beginning).
@@GoldenSunAlex Indeed. A restart is the easiest option 😅
I finally got first on this track, after 20 years of trying.
Nice 😎👍🏼
Played this game a lot as a child. This brought me back to remembering failing on this track many times.
That death at 4:04...
My whole soul felt it, I hate this track and will always hate it lol
Yep, one of the most annoying bugs on this track...
"Gyabuu hahahahahaha"
I always hated taking the bottom route.
Yeah mate....I didn't want to take the bottom route....but had no choice
Me too
I couldn’t beat this race as a kid. I got this game for free on Xbox the other day. Tonight I made it to this race and beat it! Such a happy feeling. For the last 23 years or so I was always kind of bummed that I couldn’t finish this as a kid now I can say I conquered it.
You are remarkably quick! Nice work! I could barely contain myself when I beat this track today 🤣
Now THIS is podracing
Amazing level design & aesthetics, awesome music, and the SPEED!!! And this track was so hard as a kid, I tried going slowly but then the other racers would blast through me or I'd miss that tiny jump (or that accursed curve glitch spot)! Thanks for the upload! I might get this on Steam...
And its like the shop keeper says “you break you buy!” XD
😂👌
The hardest part for me was avoiding the netting on the sides of the track. Those death snags when trying to stay on top were brutal!!!
Damn, when I was a kid I could only beat this once or twice but I recently played it (11 years later) and easily beat it on the second try.
Also, I had kept the notion that there was no way to do a comeback from hitting the bottom route.
Badass.
I never made it as a kid tbh and nowadays this track became way easier. I guess because of my age and the controls being better in this new version.
Furthermor it is possible to make a comeback even with non-upgraded pods. You just have to be quick as f*** otherwise you won´t catch 1st 😂
Last night after 20 years of playing this game, I finally beat this track.
Oh my god the nostalgia gives me goosebumps. What a great game that was, one of the last good arcade games.
And well done btw, to see this track rips old scars of despair open.
Damn dude... You were very much worthy of that triumphant soundtrack.
Thanks but everyone can be worthy! Even you 🤗
Got this on my pc recently and I managed to win this on the first attempt because recalling the horrors of falling to the bottom track, I applied my brakes heavily and managed to stay on the top track for all 3 laps. Yet I still barely won 1st place because of the crash glitch at 4:04. What happened was I fell to the bottom and crashed when I slammed into the wall, then spawned on top of the glitch spot immobile and unable to move. Seconds later I spontaneously exploded despite not moving an inch. After respawning from the spontaneous combustion, I was able to move again and had to regain the lead because my double death dropped me somewhere between 3rd and 5th place
Oh yeah, I know that problem too well. Cost me some races and yeah it´s a old game. Glitches are kinda common but of course it would have been nice if they had fixed some of the glitches in the game
This is one of those tracks where having mad top speed upgrades and cooling doesn't really help, because it's all long sweeping corners where accuracy is critical, so you almost never get to boost and are air braking constantly. Coupled with the frequent random collisions with scenery and physics glitches, it was one of about 3 tracks that really tested my patience on a recent replay. I never even found the two skips you use, despite seeing AI use them sometimes!
20 years ago on N64, my friends and I used to call this race, "Hell in the clouds".
Playing it again on Xbox One now, it's much easier than I remember. That late stage jungle one though.... horrific.
I can completely agree man. This stage her got so easy on the new consoles but that jungle stage with Anakin as your Main opponent is damn hard
@@jamie_michelson I think the N64 version only ran at 20-30fps. Playing it on xbox has been like playing a completely different game. Also I wouldn't be surprised if they've tightened up the input lag significantly - it's so quick it makes other racing games feel sluggish. I played another old racing game (Hydro Thunder Hurricane) right after playing this and compared to how it usually feels, it felt like wading through treacle in comparison 😂
@@MakeMagic That would explain these immense differences, good point 👍
Wow! I was thinking about this game the other day.. Such good memories with this one! :)
Ebe Endecott was always my favorite for Endgame. He reaches Boost So fast!
Nostalgic and insane.
Ladies, gentlemen and friends beyond the binary. As your announcer I give you Greg Proops of Whose Line is it Anyway fame.
Neva Kee was my go-to since he has far sharper turning, and this track was a real PITA. Think it took me 15 tries. Falling on bottom was a guaranteed restart, and I had to restart once because oncoming podracer nuked me and wham! I spawn on the bottom.
I remember dropping neva kee and anakin for this level. Super twitchy turning
this is such a great game i played it as a kid in a local store everday
i would love it if they remake this
Perfect music for it.
Just beat the race myself today. I definitely had to keep to the top path
Awesome!! Yeah the "half lap down" if you fall off is a real pain in the ass... but once you get the technique for staying on top down, i think the track is actually kinda fun!
(Dethro's Revenge is still my personal favorite Ord Ibanna track)
Man... It seems easy when watching you, but this race is f*cking hard. That first part where you have to stay on the high route is ridiculous, I didn't count how many tries I did before success. Beautiful race btw
Thanks man. I´d say it was a pretty successful race. It may look easy (with Pod upgrades it get´s sorta easy) but in reality it isn´t really. I was sweating on this run hard (was my first try after 16 years) and didn´t think I could beat this track so fast 😅
when i was a kid i always hated falling to the bottom route. I felt if you were at the top you were elite lol. My imagination used to run wild with this game
and i swear they designed it so if you were taking the top route, you're inherently faster
@@absentjade883 Same, as a kid I never completed this track. Hard as hell.
But it is possible to get onto the top again after you've fallen down! (Atleast in the PS4 version 😅)
Legit
Hands down the most broken and frustrating stage in the game. I gave up trying as a kid, because I couldn’t for the life of me stay on the top track. I only won by using cheat codes to drop all of the opponent racers speeds to 100, so even if I fell down to the bottom, I could still win.
Fast forward to 2015. After 3 hrs of resetting the level, screaming and cussing every time I fell down to the second level on the last lap, and nearly giving up a few times, I managed to beat it legitimately, without cheating. Still to this day one of my proudest accomplishments as a gamer, second only to beating Rascal on the PS1 after 13 years. 😁
Glad to see everyone’s mutual childhood trauma with this track lol
Nintendo wanted F-Zero X to be "The racing game" on n64, but this sold 3x as many copies and I think had a lot bigger impact.
Merci! thanks to your video I was able to win this race.
GG Nice! Love to hear you made it 😎👍
I commend you for using ebe e endicott. He was too hard for me so I used bullseye navior for his turning lol
Bullseye absolutely carried me through the entire game recently, his turning is absurd, it's like tracing the racing line freehand with a pencil. Can't get some of the tighter tracks perfect with any other racer, personally.
i remember this track being a nightmare for me as a kid
This track gave me such a headache when I was a kid. I played it over and over, and couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong, why I kept coming next to last before I figured out you had to take the top track to even stand a chance.
Genius in action.
Thank you very much 🤗
Du hast es mit Bravour geschafft!
Gut gemacht!
Vielen Dank :-D
OH MY GODDDDD THE FUCKING NOSTALGIA
First , this dude takes those turns like a chad. Second, there is a left secret part to the thin shortcut?!
Yes, yes there is a shortcut there on the left 😊
Man I never got a chance to play this game but it looks hella fun
It really is fun man. If you have a PS, you can buy it from the store ;-)
This track gave me an appreciation for having a very high traction rating just to stay on the high road lol
The only way I could beat this track was to build up Bullseye Navior a bit and get his stats up. His smaller pod helped me to not fall off as easily and take my time with staying on the upper path. I eventually just completed it perfectly.
this star wars themed racing game feels like an arcade racer.
I literally did this one today and was in first on my 4th try. Unfortunately, for some reason my podracer decided to blow up right near the end of the 3rd lap. I came in 3rd 😥
Damn, your pod is fast!!! Lmao I'd never pull that off!
Edit: I main Mars Guo and I still sometimes have problems with those HUGE ENGINES. He almost doesn't fit in the courses sometimes.
Use bulleye navuar small engine and best stats in game
I main Mars too!
I tried this map with Mars Hip without any upgrades. Was hard but I made it coming first. 😅
I can only recommend using smaller pods like Anakins or bullseye like Jonathan M recommended
@@Hell-yeah420.69 bullseye navuar mains woo, but in all seriousness having lots of stats doesn't mean it's actually good for a map. The massive amount of turning and lack of traction can be brutal for trying to be super careful at the beginning.
@@link3hyrule Neva Kee for me. Great steering, and a very long boost with quick cooldown.
And the final level and race
I would always be in last place.... 20 years later... I won first place... I cried inside so my 9 year old self can finally rest
Funny how I still get a little nervous when I hear that soundtrack even after 20 years; this circuit had me by the balls back in the day. I even remember the sense of anticlimax after finishing the final race in the game. Beating Sebulba was so much easier than whatever the fuck was going on on this track.
Now do it without hitting any walls. lol that would be so hard! You are epic at this game! 💪💪💪
Thx dude 🤗
I'll give it a try when I have the time 😅👌🏼
Years….. decades even….. I didn’t know you had to pull up to make the jumps on the upper level. I finally beat it after 20 years…..
Atleast you made it now. Congrats 💪
It's mandatory to boost across the finish line especially on the last lap 😅😅😅😂 gotta make sure nobody tries to speed up and get in front of you lol
Indeed. It's a necessary safety measure 😂
protip , just BRAKE on the upper floor and play it slowly
Yeah, I know. But as a diehard racer, I love to use the break as little as possible 😅
The most broken track in the game more like
Maybe it is but nowadays it's a bit easier
Omg this damned track
I have it for n64
This fucking track bro....
Probably the hardest thing I’ve ever had to deal with in a game...
Quick question, does gliding up from before the jump down to the arenaside back up into the fast lane count as a skip?
I’ve got to be honest. I only beat this level once in 2005. It took my 3 months to beat and haven’t come close since.
something to note here is if you have upgrades and you constantly break your rid your upgrades will diminish over time
Didn't know about that. Thank you for the information 👌🏼
Anytime the only reason i found out lol os cuz i die alot and thats cuz my other comment when i mentioned how i used niva kee i had a ton of speed and any extras were to help him with repaiers and such breaks too but when i started to realize that issue and why i was suddenly not as fast as i used to be was do to me constantly crashing and dieing mid course im sure you can guess where xD totaly not intentional but yeah went from 700s in speed to 500s which niva is around 600s when you first unlock him hes not a bad pick imo
@@munchielitten5961 Yeah, Neva Kee is a flipping beast, even without any upgrades. Has some crazy handling and traction stats 😅
When I played this game I just tried my best to not crash as in the reality of Star Wars, you don´t want to crash your pod or you´ll just die or get wounded pretty bad 😂
The next-hardest tracks were Grabvine Gateway and Fire Mountain Rally (at least for me)...
You're really good
Thank you man 🤗👍
I did this after about 6 tries but I really had to get the right mix of top speed and turning to pull this off. It was not easy.
Das is purer Stress 😂
This vs. Cosmo Terminal: Trident from F-Zero GX?
Which is the hardest?
I swear these happen everytime you're on 1st place and final lap! 4:03 LuL like the game trying to cheese you.....
it took me 3 minutes to realize the text was in german.
I’d love to have piano tutorials for all the Star Wars racer soundtracks except executioner and all ovoo iv levels and the inferno in baroonda as you could modify the popular piano tutorial of the duel of the fates
Yeah, would be cool but I can't play the piano so sadly I won't be able to make such videos. Perhaps someone else out there can do those piano tutorials 😊👍🏼
@@jamie_michelson true!
Three words. Fuck. This. Track!
I hate this track so much, but Anakin's is even worse for me. There's just too much going on, I can't tell where I'm going half the time.
I have to admit that I didn´t make Anakin´s track first try, well I can´t remember so. That one is very hard too, especially with a pod that doesn´t turn well but with good upgrades you should be able to make it 🤗
@@jamie_michelson niva kee is good in most tracks when it comes to cornering
This track really wasn't that bad on PS4.
On PC it was difficult trying to steer with the keys. The N64 had bad framerates that made judging the corners very difficult.
Analog steering and framerate as smooth as butter made this track significantly easier on PS4
The Dreamcast was easy I was able to succeed that compared to pc
I can agree with you on that. Felt definitely easier than on the Dreamcast but to be honest: I still was a small kid back in those days 🙄
I actually found the track before this the hardest the big version of the first track in the last sets I'm pretty sure before this (this is last stage ??) I struggled with that one bad !! !! Lol you can't skip credits tho not too say this one wasn't a pain having to go so slow I wasn't sure what I was doing wrong at first then I noticed don't fall of at the start !! (THE BOONTA CLASSIC)
I hated this track!!! As a kid i was so pissed off. i had the fastes pod in the game, got first place, fall off the main track and the race was over! I´ve played on the ps4, same shit... but than i thought "okay... the track is an asshole... so, i too!" and i used cheats, only for this track. I was in shame, but... fuck off! after 20 years that´s okay for me^^
Haha, atleast you´ve managed to beat the track 😂💪
How the hell you turning so good, mine sucks even if I max out the upgrade.
Which pod did you use? Every pod still has different stats, even when maxed out, Ebe Endecott being one of the best when it comes to handling
This game was hard as fuck to beat
OMG
The trick is to stay on the top floor and it’s easy due to being a shortcut
Yep, that way it's almost always a safe win. Only problem is: Do it too slow and you won't win which is the reason why I still try to push hard on that section 😊
I don't even remember HOW I won this, I somehow beat this as a kid and for the life of me I CAN'T win it today as an adult.
Is there some game like this or like wipe out in xbox 360 ?
Dang, this game is FAST.
Dang. I watched this vid 10 months ago.
I don't give a F for the Star wars lore, but this is The most demanding race game ever made, I would like to c the best on NFS, FORZA n GT playing this, if they r up for a whoop ass.
the ps4 port is so broken to the point that not only did they revert the post-release racer sounds (other pods) alongside using n64 sounds for the player, but they also somehow fucked up the player engine exhausts? even with them only needing to forward port the pc port onto last gen consoles and they instead complicated everything?
what the fuck?
Replaying this game for the first time in years and there’s a reason why I stopped playing it as a kid; this garbage track.
It’s so broken, it’s actually hilarious.
Haha, yes. Still has some bugs where it makes you go through the floor down to the second floor. That one is nasty as hell 😅
Go slow on highroad
Took me 4 years to beat this track
Congrats on beating it tho 😎😉
I got up to this stage but never won it
So it is possible all this time I thought it was glitched.
It just got put on Xbox gold may 2023
I only managed to win this race as an adult, after 15 years or so... :D You must turn the engine off+use the break at the hardest turns + use the shortcuts.
Same man. Back then when I was a child, I didn´t beat it either. Now that I´m older I actually understood how the game/track/upgrades etc. all worked. So you´re not alone with that 😂💪
This game need remake. It's be very fast on ssd
This track is absolutely miserable with any of the larger pods.
1:32 ??????
You mean to tell me this entire time that shortcut existed????
