LEGO Racers/Walkthrough

Circuits
The main game mode in LEGO Racers is the Circuit Mode. Each Circuit has four tracks and the player objective is to win each track and complete and be the player with the most points at the end of the circuit. There are five AI-controlled drivers in each circuit and points are given the following way: 30 points for the winner, 20 for the second-placed, 10 for the third, 3 for the fourth, 2 for the fifth and 1 for the sixth and last. If a racer does not finish, as the race "ends" when the player-controlled racer finishes, they will be given a certain finishing place depending on their rank: the "circuit champion" gets second place, followed by the racer who "matches up" to the first course (example: as Governor Broadside "matches up" to Imperial Grand Prix, the first course in Circuit 1, he will be given third place). In Circuits 4 through 6, since the races are in an inverted order, the exact opposite applies. Each circuit has a special driver, a "circuit champion", who is the best player in that particular circuit. The seventh circuit is different from the others, as it comprises only one track (see details for every circuit below) All leaders have a color LEGO Brick that they prefer (see Power-Ups). At the start of the game, only the first circuit is available. Each of the following circuits will get unlocked as the player finishes first or second in the previous circuit. By finishing a circuit in first place the leader's car set and appearance are unlocked in the Building menu. Every track also has a shortcut hidden somewhere in it, that none of the AI characters can use, excepting Veronica Voltage, the Time Race champion. "Knightmare-athon" is the only track to have no shortcut.

Circuit 1
This circuit features the following tracks: Imperial Grand Prix, Dark Forest Dash, Magma Moon Marathon, and Desert Adventure Dragway. The circuit champion of Circuit 1 is Captain Redbeard. His favorite power-up is the cannonball. Besides Captain Redbeard, the other drivers in this circuit are, in correspondence to their courses, Governor Broadside, Rob N' Hood, Ann Droid, and Pharaohs Mummy. Captain Redbeard has a car that is mostly yellow and brown, with a treasure chest in the centre, a jolly roger flag as well as two exhaust pipes on the back. Captain Redbeard is the best racer and he specializes in red bricks.

Imperial Grand Prix is an introduction course to the game. It's pretty simple so you don't need to use warp here. There is a shortcut in this track. It's near the entrance of the cave. Description: On your right, there are three barrels blocking a passage. To get the barrels out of the way, shoot it with a cannonball. It works best with the lightning wand.

Dark Forest Dash is somewhat hard. There are a lot of greens in this track so it's best to use the warp here but watch out for walls. There is a shortcut here. When you see a glance of the waterfall ahead of you, look to your left to see a large ditch in the wall. It doesn't involve any bricks in this shortcut. Just drive into the ditch. Be careful of the ghost!

Magma Moon Marathon is easier than Dark Forest Dash. There are a bunch of white bricks in this track. Use warp once in a while. There are two shortcuts here. The first one is right before the lights. You will need a shield for this shortcut. On your left, there is a weird-looking wall. When you use the shield, the wall starts flickering like a light. Drive into the wall with the shield on and reveals a secret passage. The second shortcut is simple, there are two colors of light; Red and Blue colored lights. Drive into whatever lights they have. After that, there's a code on your left after you see the huge glass door. Say the code is Red, Red, Blue. Next lap, drive into the colors you see on the code. That will reveal the shortcut. Desert Adventure Dragway is easy-peasy. Use warps to overlap Captain Redbeard. LOL! There are two shortcuts here, the first one is right after the first turn. There is a wall of two pharaohs. Use a cannonball to shoot it to make the wall explode. It works best with the lightning wand. The second shortcut is basically the same. Right after the third or second turn, there is a wall on your left with a pharaohs statue above it. Shoot it with a cannonball. It works best with the lightning wand. I recommend using the first shortcut only. It's better.

Congratulations for beating Captain Redbeard! P.S. Someone is messing with this paragraph. So don't blame me for errors.

Circuit 2
This circuit features the following tracks: Tribal Island Trail, Royal Knights Raceway, Ice Planet Pathway, and the Amazon Adventure Alley. The circuit champion of Circuit 2 is King Kahuka. King Kahuka's favorite power-up is the blue forcefield. Besides King Kahuka, Islander, Royal King, Commander Cold, and Achu also compete in this circuit. King Kahuka has a car that features a gray statue of his head on the back, two wooden spears, and a multicolored chassis. King Kahuka is the best racer in this circuit and specializes in blue bricks which protect him from attacks and traps.

Tribal Island Trail has barely any greens so use the shortcuts. There are two shortcuts. The first one is on your left after the second turn. There is this big gap in between two rocks. No bricks involved. The second shortcut is hard to see. It's right near the entrance in the cave. There is a little tunnel on the left. No bricks involved. I recommend you use the first shortcut only.

Royal Knights Raceway has a lot of green bricks. Use warp all the time. Royal King is crazy for greens in this track. There is one shortcut. It's right before the waterfall. On your right, there is a tunnel.

Ice Planet Pathway is bumpy and hard. King Kahuka uses 4 greens each lap so steal them and upgrade them to warp. There are two shortcuts but the second one is not really a shortcut. The first one is easy to see. On your left when you're about to go into the cave, there is an uphill tunnel. It's an awesome shortcut because there are a trail of three white bricks and one green.

Amazon Adventure Alley is the easiest of them all. Use warps when King Kahuka is right behind you. There is one shortcut. It's in the beginning of the race. Look for a waterfall on your left. Go through it.

Congratulations beating King Kahuka!

Circuit 3
This circuit features the following tracks: Knightmare-athon, Pirate Skull Pass, Adventure Temple Trail, and Alien Rally Asteroid. The circuit champion of Circuit 3 is Basil the Batlord. He prefers to use LEGO power-ups at near maximum power (he never uses a red with less than 2 white bricks). His favourite power-up is the Lightning Wand, but sometimes he also uses turbo boosts and 8-seconds (yellow) forcefields. Besides Basil the Bat Lord, Willa the Witch, Blackjack Hawkins, Sam Sinister, and Alpha Dragonis also race in this circuit. Basil the Batlord has a simple, streamlined car design that is black and red with a dragon head on the font fender, short red blades on the sides, and also features a rocket booster on the back.

Let me warn you, Basil The Bat Lord is hard. He uses warp most of the time.

Knightmare-athon has NOOO shortcuts. Use warp as much as you can!

Pirate Skull Pass is pretty tricky. If you have crappy TV vision, you will run into walls in the cave and Basil will overlap you. There is one shortcut here. When you're about to drive the last turn, there will be a small tunnel on your left.

Adventure Temple Trail is the granddaddy of all courses. Basil uses warp in this one so steal all the whites and warp like crazy!!!!! There is one shortcut. Behind the King Kahuka statue in the righthand corner there is a secret passageway to the idol sitting on the table.

Alien Rally Asteroid is easy. Basil The Batlord sucks eggs on this track. Use warp if you want to but you don't have to. There is one shortcut. When you enter the base after the evil zapper, there is a wall. You have to grab a cannonball and shoot it to reveal the passage. It works best with the lightning wand.

Congratulations for beating Basil The Bat Lord!

Circuit 4
This circuit features the following tracks: Desert Adventure Dragway, Magma Moon Marathon, Dark Forest Dash, and Imperial Grand Prix. These happen to be the same tracks of Circuit 1, but reversed order and mirrored. The circuit champion of Circuit 4 is Johnny Thunder. He prefers to use the grappling hook. Besides Johnny Thunder, the other drivers in this circuit are the same as the ones in Circuit 1 (except Captain Redbeard). Johnny Thunder has a sandy-colored car with an "adventurous' look, as well as twin turbo jets on the back.

Same method for all tracks folks!

Circuit 5
This circuit features the following tracks: Amazon Adventure Alley, Ice Planet Pathway, Royal Knights Raceway, and Tribal Island Trail. Same as Circuit 2, but reversed order and mirrored. The circuit champion of Circuit 5 is Baron von Barron. His tactic is to collect blue LEGO Bricks with several white power-up bricks. (He never uses Blue Brick less than two white bricks) His favorite power-up is the 8-second (yellow) forcefield. Besides Baron von Barron, the other drivers in this circuit are the same as the ones in Circuit 2 (except King Kahuka). Baron von Barron has a dark gray car with large tires. The design is somewhat similar to Johnny Thunder's car.

Same method for all tracks folks!

Circuit 6
This circuit features the following tracks: Alien Rally Asteroid, Adventure Temple Trail, Pirate Skull Pass, and Knightmare-athon. This seems same as Circuit 3, but reversed order and mirrored. The circuit champion of Circuit 6 is Gypsy Moth. She prefers to use the Homing Missiles, but sometimes she also uses the Warp Turbo Boost and the 10-second (red) forcefield. Besides Gypsy Moth, the other drivers in this circuit are the same players as in Circuit 3 (except Basil the Batlord). Gypsy Moth has a neon blue car with "futuristic-looking" wheels, and a rocket booster at the back.

Same method for all tracks folks!

Circuit 7
This circuit features only one track, the Rocket Racer Run. The circuit champion of Circuit 7 is Rocket Racer. He constantly tries to get the Warp Turbo Boost. Rocket Racer prefers to use power LEGO Bricks on green LEGO Bricks, but he never uses green bricks unless he also has 3 white bricks. He will also use homing missiles and 10-second (red) forcefield, but that is only if he has missed all the first green bricks. Besides Rocket Racer, other drivers include Black Knight, Admiral, Gail Storm, and Nova Hunter. Rocket Racer has a sharp, streamlined car with his logo, two R's, on the front. The car's color scheme consists of black, gray, red and blue. It also has twin turbo jets on the back.

Rocket Racer Run is sort of hard. Rocket Racer will use warp almost every time but that's not to just deal with, Black Knight will use a lot of warps too. So watch out for those two. There is one shortcut. When you enter the two turns colored Red and Blue there is a wall in the middle. Grab a cannonball to shoot the wall and it reveals a warp. It works best with the lightning wand. Use a lot of warps!

Congratulations for beating Rocket Racer!
