You can actually finish this whole game with 1st place in each level without ever using the boost function. All you need to do is purchase the pit droids, and then upgrade your pod using parts only from the junkyard. Droids will repair damaged parts after each new race, allowing you to make a profit when you sell them back to the yard in exchange for other parts. You can actually max everything out within just half an hour of gameplay. Even the worst pods (looking at you, Elan Mak °o°) can get you 1st place in every level, including the invitational circuits. One other thing to keep in mind though is that the pit droids will only keep four stats fully repaired, so I usually choose just four things to upgrade and leave the rest untouched (stock parts never get damaged). I would recommend maxing out acceleration, turning, and top speed. The fourth stat you can decide based on whatever helps you the most (in my case Repair). 😼

IMO Elan Mak is mediocre, but Ody Mandrell and Neva Kee (especially the former) are probably the worst due to their horrible default speed. Gasgano at default is also very frustrating to play as without upgrades; his good speed is completely offset by weak acceleration, very slippery handling combined with poor turn response, and his engines overheat almost instantly if you boost and take forever to cool down.

After seeing this video, I really think there's a market for these sort of reviews for older games. Because admit it or not, most people haven't played the classics from prior eras, so treating it as an explanation of the game, and review by modern standards, would be a great way to explain to people what these games are about and why they should check them out. We can see this with games like Luigis Mansion and Animal Crossing, when these came out on Switch, there was a large crowd (Me included) who didn't have a clue how they played, and then we looked up reviews and all we could see was "This Animal crossing has more stuff to do" or "This Luigis Mansion is a return to form". A return to WHAT form?

Yeah, it would be nice to see more reviews of retro games from the point of view of someone who likes games but has never played or owned any retro consoles. Nostalgia-free reviews, in a sense, so you can have a better idea of if you'd like it on its own or not, and not just whether people who have nostalgia for it will get that feeling again.

I played it both in N64 and Switch: The control is more sensitive on the Switch so your racer (specially those who are VERY nimble like Slide Paramita, Neva Kee and Bullseye Navior) does exactly what you want. And there's a nanoscopic improvement that actually makes life easier: you accelerate with R and activate boost with A. Since now two different buttons are in place (unlike on the N64 where everything was with the A-button) you have more control over your own decision of when activating the boost. Nanoscopic, but it's an improvement. Everything else: it's the same as the N64.

@IceSpoon

Same. During my middle school years I played the shit out of the N64 version, so I can confidently say that the Switch port is not only 60FPS and 1080x720. It really has improvements (albeit minor, but the game IS a simple game) that make it smoother and easier to handle. Something as simple as having Repair & Taunt, and Accelerate & Boost actions now in separate buttons makes it that the pod racer does exactly what you want. And perhaps this is just me, but the overall speed was greater. Like, I don't remember reaching 480-ish during the first races in Tatooine and Mos Gaza. It felt quicker from the start.

Bought it on Star Wars day and was pleasantly surprised! As a F-Zero fan who has played FAST RMX already for years by now, this was a welcome "new" futuristic racer (for me) and another cool N64 game that I don't want to miss anymore. The controls are surprisingly good, the tracks are varried enough, the speed gets intense and the music is John Williams, so wonderful. I'm glad they ported it though of course some nicer textures here and there would have been nice.

You mentioned that you'll have to hit the r button to repair when necessary. I think that it's relative. You can hit the b for brake just one quick time and stop the boost and it stops overheat and you're good. Or if you want to push the limit of the boost I recommend getting a repair upgrade asap as it takes less time to repair and therefore you get less of a speed decrease and you're back in the race. Hitting brake at the end of the overheating gives you almost instant speed reimbursement and you'll do just fine.

Game was awesome on the Dreamcast!!! It's actually entirely possible to beat the semi-pro circuit with no upgrades. I did it with Ebe Endocott.

@@arturocevallossoto5203 he's a bit too slow for my liking at base form. I found the most challenging way to win the game is to start at the galactic circuit with the base roster. For me personally, I found Ebe's high base cooling stats to serve me best.

I would disagree with your part at the end Alex. I think that there is value in a game like this that you can pick up for 10 mins for a hit of simple arcade fun. Big companies don't make a lot of these kinds of games anymore and I like filling my Switch storage with Shmups, Beat em ups, Retro collections and arcade games and indie games to be the ultimate pick up and play machine.
