Star Wars: Racer Arcade is a 2000 arcade racing game developed by AM5 and LucasArts and released by Sega.[1] It is based on the podracing sequences in the 1999 film, Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, and the controls are replicas of podracer controls. It was first unveiled at ATEI in London in 2000.[2] It features four tracks are Tatooine (Easy) Bantha Tracks, Etti IV (Normal) Smuggler's Cove, Malastare (Hard) Pixelito Challenge has four laps and Tatooine (Expert) Boonta Eve Classic has three laps . Four Podracer pilots are available for play, including Anakin Skywalker, Ben Quadinaros, Gasgano and Sebulba.[3] The player controls the podracer via two handheld throttle controls, similar to how pods are controlled in the film.[2] It was available in multiple configurations, one of which was a twin type; two individual games joined in the center.[4] It was the final Star Wars game developed by Sega.[5] The deluxe cabinet featured a 50" screen and was molded to appear like the cockpit of Anakin Skywalker's podracer. Up to four cabinets could be linked for multiplayer.[6] Kotaku's Lewis Packwood called the "fancier, beefier version of Episode I: Racer."[7]
