Episode I
THE PHANTOM MENACE
Chapter 4
MOS ESPA PODRACE
Queen Amidala and her Jedi protectors have fled Naboo, heading for Coruscant. They plan to inform the Galactic Senate of the Trade Federation invasion.
However, the Royal Starship's hyperdrive is damaged in the escape, and they have been forced to land on the remote planet of Tatooine for repairs...
Playable Vehicle: Anakin's Pod.
Enemies: Other Pods, Sebulba's Pod.
True Jedi at 45,000: Looks like a taller order than the original, but the actual difficulty is honestly easier. Largely due to the different take on this level in comparison to LSW1. Just make sure you hit all those poles and you'll be perfectly fine.
Well, would you look at that! What was once the bane of everyone's existence has become significantly easier. No longer is the Pod a reasonably clunky vehicle to control, nor do you need to hold a button down to make it go faster. Just hold that Control Stick upwards and tilt it left and right to turn and you'll be a-okay. Now, the actual level itself is, for the most part, quite reminiscent of the original. No longer is the track split into three sections, the entire track is one full area, so no more transitions, which means no more beating the clock. All you need to focus on is beating Sebulba, and you get the entirety of Lap 3 to do that. So this should be much more of a breeze. Like in the original, Tusken Raiders fire on the racers on the turn after the cave, which extends to falling rocks during Lap 2 and 3. Also, Sebulba is still annoying, so the path you take early in the lap still changes. But everything else is much smoother sailing. Also of note, if you require studs early game, this is a great level to grind them in. It takes about 3 minutes to complete in Free Play, and with about 50,000 per run, you'll be golden.
Average Stud Amount: 48,000-53,000
Unlocked Characters/Vehicles: Anakin's Pod, Watto (16,000), Pit Droid (4,000), Sebulba's Pod (20,000)
