[edit] Opening crawl

EPISODE I RACER 
For generations, the GALACTIC PODRACING
CIRCUIT has thrilled citizens of the Outer
Rim Territories with its fast and dangerous
contests of repulsor and turbine-driven
land vehicles.

Amid the ruffian and racing elite, one
champion stands above the rest. His name
is Sebulba, a cunning and ruthless pilot
who wins by any means necessary.

To challenge him, all the best Podrace
pilots gather on the desert planet Tatooine
for the legendary BOONTA CLASSIC
determined to claim the title of fastest
podracer in the Galaxy...

[edit] Tournament structure

Players can enter the tournament with a character and race for 1st, 2nd or 3rd place, which earns the player prize winnings (if chosen) and unlocks the champion of the track. Not all tracks feature unlockable racers, however winning a race also unlocks new tracks. With the prize money, players can buy upgrades for their podracer.

[edit] PC version

The PC version of the game appears to be nearly identical to the Nintendo 64 one, except that Toy Dampner races on a track called Executioner instead of Malevolent. The cheat codes are also different, as well as additional cut scenes for the racetracks introductions. The music is vastly superior in the PC version (it plays from the CD and is in WAV format), and the speedometer uses vector graphics instead of raster graphics in the PC version, for a superior effect. Also, the title screen is different, and the PC version supports multiplayer over IPX, instead of multiplayer on the same platform.
