LEGO RACERS 2, Instruction Manual, Page: 6 / 33

Car- and Character-Builders
Use the same keys to choose a brick – it’ll appear in the two main windows. Press Esc to
cancel the brick and choose another, or press it again to go back to the brick categories.
When you have selected a brick, use the Arrow keys to move it around, and the 4 and 6 keys
on the Number Pad to rotate it. The
Car Builder works just like real LEGO – bricks need studs
to connect to; if a brick can’t connect, it will bounce up and down. Press Enter to place the
brick, and it will appear in position. An identical brick is placed under your control. Press
Backspace to move back up to the
Brick Selection Bar at the top and choose a different
brick. Or, use the 2 and 8 keys on the number pad to move bricks that have already been
placed. The selected brick can be moved in exactly the same way as a new brick. Finally, select
the
✓
symbol and press Enter to finish.
Character Builder
Here, you can design a LEGO
®
driver for your car. It works in a
similar way to the Car Builder , and Sparky will again help you
through the process.
Start with a head for your driver. Use the Left and Right Arrow
keys to cycle through the different faces, and press Enter to
select it, or the Esc Key to go back. After pressing Enter, you’ll
move on to the hat, then the chest, and finally the legs.

Checkpoints
When racing in LEGO ® Racers 2, you must make sure that you go through every Checkpoint
on the track, in the correct order – it’s the only way to win the race! The Direction Arrow at
the top of the screen will point you towards the next Checkpoint.
Losing Bricks and Using the Pits
Be careful when you drive around the tracks of LEGO ® Racers 2 – if you crash into objects,
LEGO bricks will break off your car! Some Power-ups, when used by other drivers, will also
damage your car.
You can get bricks back by driving into the Pit Lane on each track. If you lose all your bricks
(the car chassis counts as one brick), then you’ll have to make your way to the Pits on foot!
