LEGO Racers consists of games with, as the title suggests, LEGO people in LEGO cars racing each other.A Mascot Racer similar to the Mario Kart series, you can use weapons to help you. In this case you collect colored blocks for different types of power-ups, and collect white blocks to upgrade power-ups. Red are projectiles-like weapons, yellow are traps, blue blocks are defensive shields, and green blocks are speed boosts.LEGO Racers also contains a build mode, for which you can build your own characters and cars. As you defeat more racers, you gain more pieces to use to make more characters and vehicles.Along with introducing some old LEGO Set characters like Johnny Thunder, this is where Rocket Racer comes from - he claims to be the best racer and you must work your way up to beat him.It received a sequel, in which Rocket Racer, after his defeat in the first game, has once again worked his way to the top and you have to defeat him again. On the planet Xalax. | |

Fake Longevity | |
LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_14184bc7 | comment |
Fake Longevity: The first game completely recycles all of the first three circuits for circuits 4 through 6, only with new bosses, the tracks in reverse order from their counterparts, and with all the courses mirrored. | |

Unstable Equilibrium | |
LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_17975d1b | comment |
Unstable Equilibrium: If you get ahead of the pack, you get the first pick of all the powerups and upgrade bricks... but you're vulnerable to getting hit with red attacks, which make you drop your upgrade bricks (and knock you back). When you're behind, everyone else grabs all the good stuff first. But if you can get far enough ahead that the former isn't a threat, such as through a Turbo Start followed by an early Warp... GG. | |

LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_19b89d63 | comment |
Hard Mode Filler: In the first game, after beating Circuits 1 through 3, the player has to do it all over again in Circuits 4 through 6. The courses are mirrored and in reverse order, and the circuit bosses (Johnny Thunder, Baron von Barron, Gypsy Moth) are more challenging than their predecessors (Captain Redbeard, King Kahuka, Basil the Bat Lord), but otherwise it's just a repeat of earlier levels padding out the game's length before the final Circuit 7. | |

LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_27b418da | comment |
A Winner Is You: The GBC version of the first game ends with nothing more than a text box of Rocket Racer saying the exact same thing as he does on the console/PC versions, just without mentioning you winning his car set (the GBC version lacks unlockable car sets). Basically, nothing more than "Congratulations, I knew you had it in you! You are the greatest LEGO racing champion of all time!" | |

Power-Up | |
LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_3a4898fb | comment |
Power-Up: Power bricks show up in both iterations, but work rather differently. Racers has a four-color brick system and implements a fifth color, white, to essentially increase the effect of the other four colors. Racers 2 has only one sort of brick which, like WipEout, randomly decides the power up a racer will gain depending on the position of the racer in the track. Losing racers usually get strong, offensive Area of Effect bricks which devastate other racers' cars if used in close proximity. Winning racers get weak, defensive bricks like invisibility cloaks to avoid missile lock ons and maintain the racers' current positions. | |

Vocal Dissonance: The first game mixed up the voices of dang near every opponent (the PC version, for example, gets exactly one of the twenty-three opponents). While Rob-N-Hood speaking with the voice of Captain Redbeard isn't much of a deal, hearing Willa the Witch Talk Like a Pirate in the grumpy voice of Blackjack Hawkins is all kinds of wrong. | |

LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_3ec10530 | comment |
Wacky Racing: Powerups, turbo boosts, and the freedom to build your vehicle makes for silly shenanigans. The sequel even makes your car lose bricks as it takes damage, and if you've taken too many beatings it breaks and you're forced to run to the nearest pit lane on foot to get your vehicle back. | |

No Fair Cheating | |
LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_42d9daf9 | comment |
The first game has a whole slew of cheat codes that are solely meant for messing around, such as turning all the power-ups to one type, having them always maxed out, making parts of the cars invisible (such as the wheels, chassis, or driver), and a fast-forward mode. They only work in Single Races and are not activated if you play Time Trial or Circuit Mode. | |

Defeat Means Playable | |
LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_47ea8584 | comment |
Defeat Means Playable: In a sense. As stated in And Your Reward Is Clothes above, beating a racer in first place not only unlocks their car for the player's use, but also their minifigure parts for the Build mode, basically allowing you to play as them. This also applies to World Champion Rocket Racer and Time Trial host Veronica Voltage, though the latter works differently in that instead of beating her in a circuit, you have to beat all the time trial challenges to unlock her and her car. | |

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard | |
LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4 | comment |
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: The second has the same mechanic from Mario Kart in which whenever there's an AI opponent behind you, it starts gaining an enormous amount of speed to catch up. Except that it can be turned off. Then there's Reigel and the Berg mentioned on the YMMV tab. Inverted in the first game, as AI racers won't take any of the shortcuts, even if the player already opened them up... except Veronica Voltage in Time Trial mode, who can and will take shortcuts without first opening them up. Gypsy Moth is just plain-out faster than you note Yes, even if you're using Rocket Racer's car set . You can't keep up with her without turbo powerups, or using other powerups to slow her down. Other bosses may have this, but with them, skilful driving can keep up. Against Gypsy, even that's not enough. | |

LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_6627695f | comment |
Author Appeal: In at least one interview, a developer expressed the team's liking towards the grapple power-up (red plus one white) above all the rest. Although they didn't make it an integral part of the game, this would explain why there's a cheat to enable only grapple power-ups (all the other power-up cheats simply enable only one brick color). | |

Interface Screw: When the yellow brick is fully charged up, it'll summon a "Mummy's Curse" that will cause this. To be specific, it reverses steering while it's active, while also severely lowering your top speed by pulsing your brakes (if you're stopped while the curse is active, the car will actually go in reverse). | |

Weapon-Based Characterization | |
LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_7098892d | comment |
Weapon-Based Characterization : In the first game, each boss racer favors a particular brick type. It's very noticeable in-game. Captain Redbeard prefers red bricks, especially the cannonball. King Kahuna prefers blue bricks, usually first level shields and sometimes second level shields. Basil the Bat Lord uses them all dangerously well, but appears to ever so slightly prefer green bricks and the occasional magic wand Johnny Thunder prefers red bricks, particularly the grappling hook. Baron Von Barron prefers blue bricks. Especially the third level shield. Gypsy Moth uses red bricks the most, usually devastating the racers with Rockets, but will often go with anything she can get. Rocket Racer only picks up green bricks unless you prevent him from getting any, which is when he'll use rockets instead. He prefers the infamous warp turbo boost. Good luck, you'll need it. | |

The Generic Guy: Ann Droid, Islander, Willa the Witch and Gail Storm all use carbon copies of Black Knight's racing car, for some reason. Everyone else gets their personal custom car in the first LEGO Racers. | |

Spell My Name with an S | |
LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_89a17726 | comment |
Spell My Name With An S: On the results screen and in his intro cutscene, Basil the Bat Lord's name is written as "Basil the Batlord" (though, oddly enough, it is written "Bat Lord" on the main menu). Similarly, Black Jack Hawkins has his name written as "Blackjack Hawkins". Alpha Draconis has his name spelled "Alpha Dragonis", although it is spelled correctly in the Dutch version. In some languages like Dutch, Baron von Barron's name is spelled "Baron von Baron". In LEGO Racers 2, Sam and Alexia Sinister's last name is spelled "Sanister". The Martian leader's name goes with the "Riegel" spelling. | |

Luck-Based Mission: Like Mario Kart, the races can sometimes become this. Unlike Mario Kart, however, the Power-Ups in the first game are not randomized, meaning there is some strategy required behind using them, making it not so luck-based as it may seem. | |

Power-Up Letdown | |
LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_a0f61fe2 | comment |
Power-Up Letdown: Yellow + one white in the first game is arguably worse than yellow with no white. Yellow with no white lays down an oil slick that causes the player who comes in contact with it to spin out; it stays for a fairly long period of time, so if you're a little ahead, there's still a chance that a player could run into it. A yellow and a white throws a keg of dynamite behind you that creates explosions, sending the victim flying upwards and slowing them down. The problem is that it works more like a backwards projectile rather than a trap, meaning that if there's nobody immediately behind you, it's a complete waste. The 3 explosions are potentially more dangerous, but it's much harder to hit someone with. | |

Convection, Schmonvection | |
LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_b0a91b69 | comment |
Convection, Schmonvection: Adventure Temple Trail features a large lava pit next to the track at the lowest point in the map, complete with minecarts with skeletons inside falling into the lava. Doesn't effect the drivers in the slightest. Take a wild guess what Magma Moon Marathon has. There's even a section with several small lava pits and a fireball that jumps from one pit to another. So long as the racers doesn't touch the fireball, they're safe, and even if they do, it just spins them out of control for a second. Some of the Adventurers Dino Island racetracks in LEGO Racers 2 pass through a volcano, and there's also a river of lava on Mars and Xalax. If you fall in, you are teleported to safety. If you get hit by a fireball, your car might lose a brick, but that's it. | |

My Rules Are Not Your Rules | |
LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_b3b1115f | comment |
My Rules Are Not Your Rules: Veronica Voltage is immune to track edge friction, letting her cut corners across dirt and sand where anyone else would be slowed if they tried. May or may not be a Subversion, as turbo powerups also let you ignore friction while they're active, and if you watch carefully, this is what she's doing (at least sometimes). However, this doesn't change the fact that some circuit racers are just plain-out faster than you. | |

No Name Given: King Richard is only identified as the "Royal King" and Cannonball Cordoba/Don Diego de LEGO/Sergeant Speedy is only called "The Admiral" in LEGO Racers. The Islander and Black Knight are also left unnamed, though to be fair, they had no names in the original lines. Two characters in the second game (Frankie Solido and Baron Rosso) aren't named in the game, as they only show up as racers and never in explore mode as someone you can talk to. The only way you'd be able to know is by hacking into the game files. | |

Classic Cheat Code | |
LEGO Racers (Video Game) / int_e41b38d3 | comment |
Classic Cheat Code: The first game has a whole slew of cheat codes that are solely meant for messing around, such as turning all the power-ups to one type, having them always maxed out, making parts of the cars invisible (such as the wheels, chassis, or driver), and a fast-forward mode. They only work in Single Races and are not activated if you play Time Trial or Circuit Mode. Lego Racers 2 also has a few, though not to the same degree as the first, as the only ones that exist are playing as Martians and a wide-angle view. | |
