GAMEPLAY
On the Track
So maybe you’re fl ying around in your SPARC, and you
notice all these glowing blobs and objects on the track.
Those are nuggets of pure goodness, and it’s in your
best interest to plow right through them.
Red Power-up: This glowing red object
provides power for your homing weapon
(
B
button).
Blue Power-up: This baby gives you
juice for your non-homing weapon (
X
button).
Yellow Power-up: This powers your
Overshield (
Y
button), which protects you
and helps restore your shields.
Mega-up: This purple and white star
is the equivalent of getting a red, blue, and
yellow Power-up all at once.
Bonus chip: This adds precious points to
your total, which you can convert to cash
after races to augment your ship’s turbo,
weapons, and shield systems.
Tournament
You’ll start with access to both the
Novice
and
Amateur
tournament levels. If you’re feeling ambitious,
try starting with the four-event
Amateur
tournament.
Or, to start things off a little easier, try the two-event
Novice
tournament fi rst. This also will give you a couple
more races to earn cash and upgrade your ship before
starting the
Amateur
tournament.
After you complete the
Amateur
tournament, you’ll
unlock the four-event
Expert
tournament. From there,
you’ll face the fi ve-event
Master
tournament.
The toughest level of competition is the
Redshift
tournament.
Of course, as you advance through the tournaments,
you’ll face tougher competition and faster top speeds.
Nemesis Challenge
When competing in the
Amateur
,
Expert
,
Master
,
or
Redshift
tournaments, you’ll face a
Nemesis
Challenge
—a one-on-one race with your character’s
nemesis. Winning any of these tournaments unlocks
your character’s nemesis.

You can tell the rabble
this: Opposing me
would be most
unwise.

Pilot: Prince Yuri
Galitz
Weapons: Corrosives
