- Now THIS is pod racing! What's better than flying around in sci fi environments, pushing 1,000 MPH while goofy characters yell at you? Not much really.
N64 footage was captured through an N64, PC footage was captured from my gaming PC.

Hey guys, as always thanks for watching! I appreciate it.
Let me know if you'd like to see a review of the sequel, Star Wars Racer Revenge and don't forget to let me know what your favorite racing game is in the comments!
This game was very hard at the end, as a child. I think that's the market. I beat it in 2 days the other day, but I remember the short cuts and I'm way older. This is one of my favorite racing games.
A classic for sure!
The sky level is hard even as an adult
i went first places in all the races, as a kid its hard as shit but as an adult i understood that i needed to take short cuts, i was smart on what to spend for upgrades and just knew that i had to slow down on crazy turns, fast isnt always better and knowing when to boost @@FourthFloorParkour
Ah, one of the most fun racer games ever made IMO! Can you imagine if they made a modern Podracer game with today’s hardware?
Oh I can definitely imagine it!
Yeah they would use blender sounds and put micro transactions in it
My only experience with this one when I was a kid was the arcade version. The one where they had Anakin's pod with individually controllable thrusters for each arm. Picked up the remaster on switch and it really has stood the test of time. It's fast and satisfying
DUDE! That sounds awesome!!! How have I never heard of this?
The arcade version of this was really fun
Great presentation and production value in this review; I didn't expect much from a small channel but was pleasantly surprised. Glad I clicked after seeing you in my YT recommendations for a few weeks!
Thank you for the kind comment and thank you for checking out the video!
I forget, I think it is the second invitational that takes place on an aerial track with multiple floors.
It was significantly harder with all the higher end parts because if you fell off the upper track you had to go the long way. The other racers had no difficulty sticking to that upper level. Downgrading to lower end parts makes the track easier while the other racers are downgraded accordingly. It would make sense why even without upgrades the difficulty does not fluctuate.
Great review. This game is such a classic. Your video brought me back some great memories. Earned yourself another sub. Keep up the great work. Look forward to the next review.
Thank you so much! I'll give you a hint, it's another racing game.
OBSESSED with this game as a kid.
the only reason i never beat it was becasue i had no idea how to use boost lol i remember hitting one button on my keyboard and i immediately went faster. i was like "HOW DID I DO THAT?! I COULDVE DONE THAT THIS WHOLE TIME?!?!" was gettign my butt kicked
HA! I bet you thought it was the hardest game you ever played.
Assetto Corsa has become my favorite racing game of all time with all the mods and possibility of that game and throw in online it is amazing!! But yeah would love to see you review the sequel of the game. Also Yeah what misfit said you should do the midnight club series in the same vain you did the Viewtiful Joe games!
Fantastic video as usual, I think you pace your videos perfectly. And I would love to see you cover Star Wars Racer Revenge, I had no idea that game existed so I'd love to know your thoughts on it. I do own Star Wars Episode 1 Pod Racer for the N64, but those frames just made it hard for me to get into it, as someone who didn't grow up with the game.
My favorite racer is probably F-Zero GX, I got it earlier this year and I don't think I've ever had so much fun with a racing game, as much as it destroys me haha.
Thanks for the kind comments! Yeahhhh, I've had about six different requests to play Racer Revenge now, so I guess it's happening haha.
F-Zero GX is incredible, I definitely need to check that out again too! I'd like to do a comprehensive F-Zero video in the style of my Viewtiful Joe one, where I play every game in the series and give my thoughts. Thank you for the suggestion.
Ok, to address the difficulty complaints, in free play mode you can bump up the speed of rival racers.
Nice video.
My prefered racing games are Star Wars racer and Extreme-G on N64.
Yeah, I don't play much.
Also, Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing were good too.
Never played extreme-g! Any good?
@@NoMooreMercyTV
I only played the first, but I love the fast peace, and the electro music.
If you have the chance to grab a cartridge, try it (or grab a ROM and an emulator).
@@mylittleparody2277 I have an Everdrive, I'll have to check it out soon.
Hey, i checked it out earlier this week. Game is really cool! Might have to do a full video on it. Thanks for the recommendation.
@@NoMooreMercyTV
Very welcome, glad you liked it = )
Midnight Club series was the best street racing game series.
Gah, I still need to play these.
Free on gold
Is it really? That's a steal then!
Grew up with this game, and still love it. Though I'm way better at it as an adult lol. It's incredibly short and an easy platinum on PS5, but still incredibly fun.
I'll say this, it's short but very replayable!
I don't think the difficulty was an issue, in fact I think they nailed it.
It is however a product of its time and target audience.
Not only were a lot of games (not all) during the 90s and early 00s focused more on getting high scores rather than the challenge of beating them. But the game was definitely tuned for kids. I remember it taking a year for my brother and I to beat this game when we were kids.
Once it was on steam I picked it up again and beat it in a single sitting lol.
Nintendo actually did this a lot. It was a way to make the games challenging to all levels of players.
I felt accomplished finishing the easy route on start fox 64. But always loved watching my cousin killing everything and some how never even losing a wing let alone die.
Racer Revenge is good but not great and def not a great sequel
I agree.
God this on Xbox gold never aged it before but loved it!! The original Forza motorsport is probably my fav racing game.
I didn't get a chance to play the og! I started at 3 and played a bit of 4. What makes the original Forza so good?
My favourite racing game? This. For sure. But honestly, I'm not a fan of the genre. This was the only racing game ever that I truly enjoyed.
You're not the only one I've heard this from, interesting! What makes this game stand out to you compared to other racing games?
@@NoMooreMercyTV My naive answer to this would be the speed. But if I try to look at it more objectively: 10-years-old-me, enjoyed playing Star Wars with friends (with sticks for lightsabers) a lot more, than playing with toy cars. I loved Star Wars. I didn't love cars. Most racing games are car racing games. Consequently, I ended up liking Star Wars games more than (car) racing games.
@@Mauntium Have you given any of the other futuristic racing games a shot? Wipeout, F-Zero, etc?
@@NoMooreMercyTV Not really. Barely even heard of these, and after a bit of research I understand why: they rarely released on PC. The only other game like this that I considered playing (but somehow never did) was Distance (2018).
@@Mauntium give em a shot sometime man, they're easily emulated on PC these days. I really love F-Zero X & GX.
Ye i might have people not agree on it, but for me SW Racer is the most perfect racing game ever made. It has a variety of tracks with skips and shortcuts, many podracers to choose from, engaging upgrade system, SW music score and hilarious opponent voices when passing them. And you're going 1000 km/h on an alien planet, how cool is that.
I just don't enjoy run of the mill racing games where you drive another car that's driven mainly by local drug lords or camgirl pimps. NFS Most Wanted is the best car racing game and it's like 18 years old at this point.
What they need to do is make innovative racing games with wacky tracks, physics, powerups, gameplay elements. Trackmania Turbo delivered hard on this but this is still a game from 2016.
I believe a new Trackmania game just released, have you played it yet? I'd love to know how it is!
Playing the game without upgrades is actually a pretty fun challenge, really requires the player to race well and boost as best as possible. Finished it a few weeks ago on the N64 (well, emulated... mine doesn't boot anymore), I have to say the absurd input lag from that version makes things a bit unfair though.
I absolutely agree, I struggled big time on the N64 version whereas on the PC version I was dominating races.
Can you do a video on the sequel, racer revenge?
Is it a good game? I know nothing about it other than some CZcams videos I've watched.
YUP loved (and still love) this game
"Fan opinion on TPM is mixed even to this day"
Yes, but it has shifted more towards "positive but not perfect" over time. Part of the reason why the initial response to TPM was far more negative than current sentiments was because the movie got absolutely panned by a number of high-profile film critics, and unfortunately a lot of people take the word of film critics as law. Personally, I find that TPM has a lot of good individual scenes and some amazing visuals and sound design that hold up even to this day, and I do like how it sets the stage for the rest of the series, but I also feel like it drags on too long and that a political drama might have not been the best fit for a sci-fi series previously known for being heavily influenced by war movies.
This was my favourite AG racer for years and years, beaten only recently by Redout 2 which I'd really recommend if you like star wars racer. It has an amazing sense of speed and the AI is a real challenge (and adjustable).
Redout 2 is cool! I've been playing the Wipeout HD collection on PS4 lately, been having a lot of fun with that.
I like Star Wars Episode 1: Racer
