Star Wars: Racer Revenge is a Star Wars video game that involves high speed racing. It is the sequel to Star Wars Episode I: Racer. The story takes place eight years after Star Wars: Episode I The Phantom Menace, with Sebulba wanted revenge on Anakin Skywalker. Unlike its predecessor, the player is unable to continue racing if they crash their pod. It was later re-released as a PS2 Classic for PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4.

Game modes

  • Single Play: This option allows the player race in one of three ways: Single Event, Practice, or Time Trial. Single Event lets the player race on any unlocked track. They can choose between 1 and 25 laps. Practice lets the player determine how many pods they go up against (from 1 to 8), and Time Trial is just the player against the clock for the best lap time.
  • Vs. Race: Race against other players on any of the unlocked tracks.
  • Tournament: In this mode the player races across 13 tracks, trying to get first while destroying as many rival pods as possible. Each race has a total prize for getting first, as well as Watto’s Bribes, which multiplies winnings by a percent, depending on how many pods were destroyed. Each race has a Par number of kills, usually 2 or 3, which must be completed in order to completely max out the player's pod's stats.
