Overview

Star Wars: Super Bombad Racing is a comedic sci-fi kart racer developed by Lucas Learning and published by both Lucas Learning and LucasArts for the PlayStation 2 (Platform) on April 23, 2001 (in North America) and May 25, 2001 (in Europe).

Based on the Star Wars (Franchise) sci-fi film franchise, and from the studio behind kid-focused activity centers based on the franchise, Super Bombad Racing is a hovercraft racing game featuring characters (super-deformed, each piloting small-sized hoverkarts based on their signature vehicles) and locales from Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace. Similar to other kart racers, players can collect special items (or "gadgets") to boost their kart's boost or shield power or attack/hinder opposing karts.

Versions for the Dreamcast (Platform) and PC (Platform) were announced, but later cancelled.

Racers

Each racer rides a signature kart, with separate stats and has a special power that only they can perform.

Through cheat codes, players can play as Boba Fett (Character) (in a Slave I (Object)) or as an Armored Assault Tank, but they have no special powers. In addition, there are cheat codes that change all racers to either one of Naboo's wildlife (Kaadu or Shaak).
