How-to: Lego Racers 2 Rocket Racer

Rocket Racer is back once again! This time in his Lego Racers 2 outfit. I liked Lego Racers 2, but not all of it. One of the things that I didn't like is how underwhelming the introduction of Rocket Racer is. I would encourge you to take a look at how the game did it. It's basically a really long conversation in their weird LR2 talk. 😋
I thought that could be improved. So I did my best to make it more interesting and also bring a bit of Rocket Racer's character back, which I think was a bit lost in LR2. I've also included a tutorial on how to build his car, which is slightly different compared to Lego Racers 1. I hope you like the video!

never in my life did I think I'd see Lego Racers 2 content in 2023. this is amazing lol

[@StudframeAnimations]

Hahah thank you so much! Hope it brought some fond memories. 😁

[@StormcellX]

@StudframeAnimations it absolutely did, do you have any plans for more lego Racers content 👀

[@StudframeAnimations]

@@StormcellX Awesome! I don't have any Lego Racers plans for the moment. Right now, I'm working on a exciting Lego Island video. But I might come back to Lego Racers at some point. 😋

[@StormcellX]

@StudframeAnimations I didn't play lego island but I'll still watch it lol. You're pretty good at animating and I don't see much history on your channel, are you new to it or? 👀

[@StudframeAnimations]

@@StormcellX Awesome! I started this channel like half a year ago. So everything is quite new here. I want to create Lego nostalgia content on this channel but with my own twist to it. Hopefully people will like it. 😋

[@babs3k832]

The Xalax theme still plays randomly in my head sometimes. Gotta love the soundtrack

[@StudframeAnimations]

Yeah it's really good! Too bad the races before Rocket Racer are much more exciting.

[@joshuarobinson4830]

Xalax tracks got 9 year old me more pumped than they had any right to I swear. And they still do if I’m honest.

[@wendigockel]

He seems to have taken his separation from Veronica pretty well. He doesn't lose his cool seeing that his fiercest rival used his ex-girlfriend's car!

[@StudframeAnimations]

He stays focused. 😋 I was considering to put Veronica in the place of Sparky and create a story that way. But that didn't happen because there would be too much dialogue, I thought.

[@CodecrafterArtemis]

Now that I'm thinking about it, it's kinda sad how in Lego Racers 2 Rocket Racer has pretty much the same car as in LR1 except in different livery. Also how cool it'd be if he really did drive up to you in the game instead of just walking up to you.

[@StudframeAnimations]

I kind of like the fact he remained with the same car and look. Keeps him iconic. I also think people will dislike it if you change anything about it. Glad you like the changes. I always thought that the introduction to Rocket Racer (the endboss!) was really underwhelming. So i changed it for that reason. Thanks for watching. 😁

[@claytonwhitacre1335]

These are great. Its like my childhood has been remastered.

[@StudframeAnimations]

Hahah glad you like it!

[@lachlantelfer]

So good. Loved the manic miners advertising. Nice touch. Just needs the classic lego click sound effect when the bricks are coming together in the build.

[@StudframeAnimations]

Hahah glad you liked it! 😁

[@austinpoznoski3083]

beautiful. my brother and I would always talk about how we wished they would make official rocket racer sets.

[@StudframeAnimations]

Yeah me too. I also wished you could drive Rocket Racer's car in this game. We can only dream. Wel, at least we have a Lego Stuntz set dedicated to him. So that's something.

[@Subzero_Paradox]

​@@StudframeAnimations Actually you can in the second one with a little bit of modding magic

[@StudframeAnimations]

@@Subzero_Paradox Yeah, true. But we weren't meant to have it. 😋

[@GIGeorge23]

"Me and my new car are faster than ever" - don't drive over the ramps and you'll beat me easy.

[@StudframeAnimations]

Yeah it's so unfortunate that he is so easy to beat. I remember Sam Sinister to be a lot more difficult.

[@GIGeorge23]

@@StudframeAnimations I agree, great animation by the way!. I would enjoy them even more if I wasn't upset there aren't remasters of these classic lego games.

[@StudframeAnimations]

@@GIGeorge23 Thank you so much! Yeah I feel the same way. I made these animation to picture what a remaster could look like. We can only dream!

[@kavariteraa2797]

Nostalgia! Great animation!

[@StudframeAnimations]

Thank you! I’m glad it brought back some fond memories. 😄

waited for this!

1:00 there seems to be a 1x4 white plate appearing randomly right alongside the wheels holder

[@StudframeAnimations]

Woooh sharp eye! I missed that one. 😜

[@Crazy12Eric]

Yo, Lego Racers 2 was the game of my childhood. And seeing this vid here really makes me want to make my own RR car. That said, where do you get the stickers? I know you said they’re third party, but I was wondering do you make them yourself, or is there a place you can go to for custom stickers?

[@StudframeAnimations]

That’s awesome! There is a webshop in the Netherlands that sells these stickers. I forgot the store name but if you Google it, then I’m sure you can find it. 😁

[@Crazy12Eric]

@@StudframeAnimationsSweet, I’ll try to look them up then. I just got the parts in today, so this guide was very helpful. Thank you for making this!

[@StudframeAnimations]

@@Crazy12Eric No problem, I’m happy that the video helped you out. 😁

[@deckie_]

does seem like a definite improvement over the original, I quite like it

[@StudframeAnimations]

Thank you so much! ❤

[@subsidingjoshua9354]

Awesome video! 👍

[@StudframeAnimations]

Thank you so much! You all are quick at commenting. 😋

[@Toenism]

Are you planning on doing more LR2 bosses?

[@StudframeAnimations]

Not yet, Berg has nog vehicle and the only builds that are left are Sam Sinister and Riegel. But they are both official sets, so the tutorial section is bit redundant. I'm not sure a video will add anything. But who knows, maybe in the future.😋

[@Toenism]

@@StudframeAnimations To be honest when I wrote that I only had in mind Sam Sinister, not knowing it was a real set haha

[@StudframeAnimations]

@@Toenism Hahah, it's a good looking car. 😁

Can you translate it to English? 😜

[@therealshinchanisonvacation]

​@@StudframeAnimationsI'll translate it for you, well he said: What's so great about this guy is that he remastered the Lego Racer 1 and 2 videos and made it possible to assemble them with real Lego.

[@StudframeAnimations]

@@therealshinchanisonvacation Ohh awesome. Thanks for translating! 😁

I would like to review the old lego racers 2 circuit on lego 2k drive do you think it's still possible to create?

[@StudframeAnimations]

What exactly do you mean? Reviewing a game within another game?

[@marieoconnor1283]

For me, I can still build his 2.0 Car slightly in *"Lego: 2K Drive"* And bedsides. I can beat him within *"Lego 2K Drive's: Sky Cup Grand Prix"* in my *"Lego City: Lego 2K Drive"* Official set vehicle that I got after my award ceremony last month in October.

[@StudframeAnimations]

Cool!

[@marieoconnor1283]

@@StudframeAnimations Yeah

[@marieoconnor1283]

@@StudframeAnimations And alsoly man, 0:58 The official Rocket Racer 2 Minifigure is available. Unless you are counting the *"Lego City: Stunz"* Fig?

[@StudframeAnimations]

@@marieoconnor1283 What do you mean? As far as I know the figure doesn't exist. I don't count the City Stuntz minifig. He looks too different. 😋

[@marieoconnor1283]

@@StudframeAnimations Yeah, That is true, Like Bedsides the colours and the logo being almost identical, It does have a different look.

Could Rocket Racer beat Studs Linkin?

[@StudframeAnimations]

Good question. What do you think? 🤔

[@luisgamercoolgaming]

@@StudframeAnimations Considering that Studs Linkin can be beaten by a literal child (Pepper), Rocket Racer would most likely win.

[@denif609]

Too bad Rocket Racer is too easy to beat if you make upgrades to your car. That's why I always play Lego Racers 2 without upgrading my car so there is more challenge

[@StudframeAnimations]

Yeah that's true. How do you get past the other bosses without upgrades? Is that even possible? 😋

[@denif609]

@@StudframeAnimations It's possible, but really hard. The first time I played this game as a kid I couldn't read english, so I never figured out I could upgrade your car and I have beaten the game like that.

[@StudframeAnimations]

@@denif609 Ahh, well done! You did it the hard way. 😜
