  • You need to include the time frame somewhere in the body. Ayrehead02 (talk) 12:15, December 20, 2014 (UTC)
    • Added. I relate it to the other versions of the game, but otherwise it may be written wrong. My only other guess is to refer to it as 32 BBY simply because "Episode I" is part of the game's name. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 02:14, December 21, 2014 (UTC)
  • Is this definitely a separate track from the Malastare 100? It sounds a bit like it's just the Gameboy's scaled down version based on the similar features. Ayrehead02 (talk) 12:15, December 20, 2014 (UTC)
    • It has a lake in it. That's really the only similarity. As I said before, these are drag races, and not full circuits. I really can't see this, or any of the maps in the GBC game, to be scaled down versions of existing maps (Especially noting that several planets don't appear in the GBC version). --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 02:14, December 21, 2014 (UTC)
      • Fair enough, I haven't played either game so I thought I'd just check. Ayrehead02 (talk) 16:06, December 23, 2014 (UTC)

  • Since the infobox has the climate as methane, some mention should be made in the main body of that. The rocky part of the course also needs to be mentioned in the body. 501st dogma(talk) 16:20, December 31, 2014 (UTC)
    • Added the rocky part, but now I'm not sure about the climate part. There's methane clouds over the water, and a few elsewhere on the map (Off the road sometimes), but now I'm not actually certain that qualifies for a Methane atmosphere. Any thoughts?--Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 19:43, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
      • I'd remove it just to be safe I guess, as Malastare' atmosphere is actually breathable for Humans. Not sure if you should add that to the infobox in place of the methane part. 501st dogma(talk) 21:00, January 5, 2015 (UTC)
        • I guess I'll add that, but the whole climate thing seems sort of odd for the infobox, as one would assume that the atmosphere of a single course would just be same as the planet's. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 04:15, January 6, 2015 (UTC)
          • Well, climate in a certain spot is different from atmosphere, so I guess it could be useful if it was warm and sunny etc.... Here however, I don't think we can claim a climate type. 501st dogma(talk) 15:12, January 6, 2015 (UTC)

  • One question: the bit about being good for thrusters: is that a matter of just mechanics or is there something about the course? If the former, we should probably add the "Gamemechanics" tag. Corellian PremierJedi symbolThe Force will be with you always 03:09, January 9, 2015 (UTC)
    • In any of the games, it's just harder to turn when boosting, and the guides and manuals often state that it's better to boost when on a flat instead of a road that hits a sharp turn. So, if anything, I'd say it's just matter of fact, as long as we note in the vehicle pages that Podracers in general don't turn (as) well when thrusting. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 18:48, January 9, 2015 (UTC)
SE
  • "The track itself consisted of a rocky surface that was carved into the ground." I'm not sure what you mean by this. Are you saying the track itself was carved into the ground?
    • That's what it looks like, so I was trying to say that. I tried to reword it, to see if it reads any clearer.
      • Personally, I think you could just say it was a track with a rocky surface and leave it at that.
  • I personally don't think you need to include that last line about the other Malastare course, since it's relevant to Dud Bolt, not this course. Supreme Emperor (talk) 05:26, January 9, 2015 (UTC)
    • I guess not, although I figured it made sense it context, noting that Bolt happened to be the crowd favorite of more than one Malastare course, as a coincidence or something. I removed the line, then. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 18:48, January 9, 2015 (UTC)
  • In regard to the bit about it being a good opportunity for pilots to use their thrusters, does the guide for this particular game state that? Supreme Emperor (talk) 05:12, January 10, 2015 (UTC)

Comments

I'm only making this comment before someone asks: I'm refferring to these courses as drag courses, as a Drag Race IRL is, usually, a single shot race from a Point A to a Point B, and not a lap. None of the tracks in the GBC game are laps, and only go from Point A to Point B. --Clonehunter(Report your W.M.D.) 02:53, December 20, 2014 (UTC)
