Premise[]
LEGO Racers, start your engines! Rocket Racer is back and he's teamed up with the toughest competitors in the galaxy to bring racers of all ages this awesome challenge. Players must win their races, keep their cars on the road and muster all their adventure racing skills to find and collect the elusive Golden Bricks.
Gameplay[]
The GBA version features different concepts from the PC and PlayStation 2 versions, while it still shares a lot of things in common.
In story game, while the storyline is still the same as from other platforms, there are several differences. First, when building a character, the player chooses its head and chest and legs. There is no option to choose hat. However, the player can choose any parts in any order the player wants and can randomize the parts anyway a player wants, just like from LEGO Racers. It does not feature car builder and the player only drive around one car the whole time. The player has an option to go on a test drive on a certain track that Sparky gives first before moving on. The player does not travel through a foyer to race. The player is always exploring, just like in Sandy Bay from other platforms, but it is not an open world.
GBA features some different power-ups, compared to other platforms.
There are 19 gold bricks to collect, each from racing for 1st place, except in Xalax. Other than upgrades for car or a trophy, the player
also receives the gold brick from each boss once the player defeats them. There are no gold bricks, other than from racing for 1st place.
Riegel does not drive a mech. Instead he drives the flying saucer, so not only Riegel can use and pick up power-ups but the player can also use power-up to attack Riegel.
The Berg does not get a head start and he does not even leave ice stalagmite. Like Riegel, he also can use power-ups and be hurt by power-ups.
Xalax racing is different from other worlds. Instead of receiving gold bricks, the racing system is similar to Circuit Race from LEGO Racers. Just like other worlds except Brickton, there are 5 tracks that the player needs to race through. The player must win all 5 races in order to be the champion. If the player looses at certain point or decide quit, they start back from where they lost or quit. For example, if the player lost on the 3rd race, then the player starts back at the 3rd race and does not go back to the 1st race.
After being a champion, players cannot race again in story game. Players however do have an option to race again either in single player mode or multiplayer mode.
The home town is called Brickton, not Sandy Bay, despite the fact some characters in this system still call it Sandy Bay.
All the tracks from this game are completely different, while still having the same setting. They also have guard rails.
There is no pit for a player to fix the car and the only way to fix the car is to pick up the brick piece, which restores 2 by 2. The car can hold up to 4 hits. Players does not run on feet when it lost its power. However, the car does run slow and is hard to steer. This same feature is used again in Drome Racers.
Players can unlock the opponents and choose how many opponents and what opponents player wants to face against.
Bonus games are a little different in GBA. They are Cops and Robbers, Collect the Eggs, Tube Racing, and Collect the Meteors.
GBA also has Special games which are Battle Game, Capture the Flag, and also Construction Game.
The Bonus Games "Collect the Eggs" and "Collect the Meteors" are same as Bonus Games in other platforms. However, in these bonus games, the player can only hold up to 2 eggs or 2 meteors, before the player needs to head back.
Battle Game is similar to other platforms; however, here if the driver gets the certain number of hits, then that driver responds to a certain location and does not get knocked out. The Driver with the most number of hits given to the other driver in 5 minutes is the winner.
