lightsaber.
Hovering man
There is a man that asks for water on the "Escape
From Theed" level . Either before or after you give him the
flask of water, stand directly in front of him and use the Force.
The man should go up in the air. Keep using the Force to make
him go higher. If he gets too high, just jump and use the Force
again. After using this trick, he will be hovering high above
your character.

have during any video sequence. Press [Start] and select
a weapon. Then he/she will be holding the weapon during the video
sequence.
Hints
Chokie
Use the following trick to get a box of Chokie and
a single Chokie. Go to the person who sells Chokie and ask for
just one Chokie. Kill him, and a box of chokie will be on the
ground where he was standing, or beside him. You will now have
both the single Chokie and the box of Chokie.
Mass Coupler
In the Mos Espa level when you talk to the man that
says "Stand back I am about to slash... all my prices",
he will let you go out back to where he keeps his Podracer. Kill
him after going back there, then return to the street. A Mass
Coupler will appear in the place where he was previously standing,
even if you did not talk to Anakin yet.
You do not have to follow that man to his Podracer to kill him.
If you just kill him on the street, you will find the Mass Coupler
on the ground. Note: You can not complete this level if you kill
him. Everyone will call you a murderer and Anakin will not talk
to you.
Use the following trick to get a Mass Coupler for free, without
trading. On the Mos Espa level go to the man whose Podracer is
in front with an R2 unit working on it. It is a green Podracer.
Do not talk to him; just Force Push him and he should die. Pick
up the Mass Coupler by him and walk out. The Gammorean Guards
will not be after you, and you can still complete the level.
Tomo on Tatooine
In Tatooine, there's an old woman who asks you to save
her child (Tomo) from Captain Neg. Agree to do so, but do not
go up the stairs as she suggests -- the security door will kill
you. Instead, go back to the other house at the top of the stairs.
Walk out the window onto the ledge. Walk to the corner of the
ledge, then turn left, and walk a little more. Jump up onto the
rope, and take it across the road. Jump onto the balcony and go
through the house. Walk on the next ledge until you hit a dead
end, then jump onto the next rope. Jump onto the balcony, and
you will be in Captain Neg's house. Go out back to find two cages,
one with Tomo and one with a large creature that breaks out and
tries to kill you. Walk into the alley, and if the monster follows
you it will get stuck and only be able to deal minimal damage.
Open the door and kill the man that is shooting you. Then, go
back, get the kid, and take him to his mother. She will give you
an item that is useful for trading for the parts you need for
Anakin's Pod-Racer.
When you go to rescue Tomo, talk to the 2 girls. They will tell
you to get out because it is Sebulba's private apartment. Do not
listen to them and go up the stairs. There is a blaster in the
far right corner. Once Qui-Gon picks it up, a gun will come out
of the floor. Quickly run up the stairs and do the rest to rescue
Tomo
Proton Missile Launcher
In the first level, find the section with all the boxes
that are stacked. There is a small health pack in a hole where
a box is missing. Pull out the box that is sticking out to get
a thermal detonator and a health pack. Then, pull the box in the
back right corner to find a Proton Missile Launcher.
In the Gardens of Theed level, there is a ledge filled with flowers
immediately before you do the water raising and lowering part.
Jump on it, then jump into the bushes to find a Proton Missile
Launcher.
Thermal detonator
On the first level, after you go through the big air
vent maze, a second floor will fall from underneath you. Jump
over it to get a thermal detonator.
On the first level, after getting out of the poison gas room,
you will reach an intersection and Battle Droids will shoot at
you. Face them, then turn right. You will find a storage compartment
with a palm panel next to it. Hit the palm panel to get a blaster.
Then go back to the intersection and turn left. You will find
another storage compartment. Hit the palm panel and a thermal
detonator will appear.
Flash grenades
On the Mos Espa level, after the video sequence, go
around the Royal Starship to find some flash grenades.
In the Mos Espa Arena level, go to the last set of stairs immediately
before the champion. Go down the stairs and you should be on a
red walkway. Turn to the left and walk to the wall. Jump, a small
door will open, and five flash grenades will appear. The flash
grenades will help you defeat the champion.
Flash Grenades and Missile Launcher
Enable the "Debug mode" code and go to the
"Assault on Theed" level . Find the man in a prison
cell who says "Help me. You gotta let me out. I've been wrongfully
imprisoned". Do this while you are playing as Queen Amidala.
Stand at the wall directly across from him. Do not open the cell.
Turn around and look at him. Throw a flash grenade and he will
die. Run to where he would run to if you had let him out. Ask
the man what he is doing. He will say he has been collecting weapons
to defeat the Trade Federation. Tell him to show you the weapons,
and they will appear.
Light repeating blaster
On the Coruscant level, after the video sequence, go
back to the Royal Starship and to get a heavy blaster. If you
walk around, you will also find a light repeating blaster.
Heavy repeating cannon
On the Mos Espa level, follow the Jawas with the camels
to find a heavy repeating cannon. For more fun, save the game,
then use the cannon in a shooting gallery with Jawas. To complete
the level, load the saved game, do not shoot the Jawas, and continue.
Red pass key
You can get the red pass key by killing the injured
man near the R2 droid. There are no bad consequences for doing
this.
Engine binders
There is a man that says "Ah, I want my home back!"
in the slave quarters on the Mos Espa level. Talk to him and tell
him that you will help. Go up the stairs and into his house. Talk
to the man and mind trick him in to letting you look around. Walk
around the woman and jump off the balcony. Kill the two blue men
that shoot at you. Then, talk to the man in the corner. His name
is Vek Drow. Follow him to his shop and he will give you some
engine binders.
When Vek Drow gives you the engine binders, trade them at a shop.
Return to VEk Drow and he will give you more engine binders.
Health pack locations
Locate the building in the Mos Espa level with the
fat man taking a bath. A small health pack can be found in the
corner.
Talk to the man that does not know the passcode for the door in
the "Gardens of Theed" level. He will lead you to a
set of stairs. Do not go up the stairs. Instead, enter the gazebo
to find a small health pack.
In beginning of The Final Battle level, the fifth statue on the
left side contains a full health-pack.
Start the the Mos Espa Arena Level. Go to Jabba and face his monster.
After the monster is defeated, run to the secret door that opens
and go to Jabba's Chamber. Talk to the robot that is next to Jabba.
He will be talking about you killing the monster. While you talk
to him, a health pack should appear from Jabba and drop to where
you battled the beast. Drop to the area where the pack is located.
Note: Enable the "Debug mode" code first.
In the last level when you are Obi-Wan the second time, get past
the room with the blue electronic force field. When the wave of
battle droids attack you in the doorway, there is a hidden panel
that has a full health power-up inside. It is on the left, behind
the switch that opens the door.
Continuing in the Gardens Of Theed
level
Jump on the gun in front of the big ATT tank. You will
be able to jump over the wall to the left of the tank to proceed
in the level.
Gardens Of Theed
Swim up the river and when you get to where there are
platforms, jump on the one that goes up. When you get to the end
use the Force.
Using the thermal detonator
Do not use the thermal detonator on Jabba's beast on
the Mos Espa Arena level. Innocent bystanders might die from the
blast. Save it for the Ignition Capacitor thief.
Platform in Mos Espa Arena level
In the Mos Espa Arena level, after defeating Jabba's
champion and exiting the bar past the street traders, you will
find two ropes at different heights. It is extremely difficult
to jump onto the second rope. However, there is another route
up onto the platform. Exit the corridor you are on via the main
gates on the left, prior to those ropes. Retrace your steps up
the staircase towards Jabba. As you exit the first room (with
the gun), immediately turn right and jump the wall.
Trading for a blaster
If you have any fuel converters left in the Mos Espa
Arena level, you can trade them to a guard for a blaster.
In the Mos Espa level, get the Dragon's tooth from Mat Rags. You
can trade it to the first woman you saw when you entered the city
for a blaster.
Fuel converter from Teemto
In the Mos Espa level, go to the bar. Kill Teemto to
get a Fuel Converter. Note: This level cannot be completed if
you kill him. Everyone will call you a murderer and Anakin will
not talk to you.
Full health
In "The Final Battle" level, when you run
up to the throne room and the doors close, turn to your left to
find a statue. Shoot the statue until it explodes to get a full
health. Also find the other statue with a full health in this
area.
When fighting Darth Maul in the final battle level, note the two
rooms in the side of the arena. On the left wall in there are
is two hidden health packs on each side. Note: There are only
three health packs in this level; use them wisely.
Examine weapons
Enable the "Debug mode" code. Select any
weapon besides the light saber before choosing a level. Pause
the game when the opening sequence (where the characters talk)
for that level plays. Select any weapon besides the light saber
and the character you are playing will stop and examine the weapon.
Dweezels and Pallies, dried Chokie,
and a thermal detonator
In Mos Espa Arena, at the beginning of the level, find
the man that sells fresh dried Chokie. Ask him how to make it.
Then, ask him if he sells anything else. Tell him you are a farmer.
Then tell him you are aiding a friend who owns a farm. He will
tell you who to talk to. Go to where Jar Jar and Padme walked
to and find the man who sells Dweezels and Pallies. Talk to him.
Ask him if he had anything else for sale. Tell him you want a
thermal detonator. If you ask him for anything else he will not
give them to you. Ask him if he will take Republic credits. Then,
use the "Jedi Mind Trick" on him and he will give you
a thermal detonator.
Make Qui-Gon Block Force Push
At the beginning of "Assault on Theed" (level
10), while everyone is standing around waiting for Obi-Wan to
lead them into battle, Force Push Qui-Gon to see his saber block/deflection
move. This does no damage to Qui-Gon and does not affect the mission.
Defeating Darth Maul
When fighting Darth Maul during the final battle, he
uses the same attack (swing and over head slash). Uses the opposite
attack as he is using and he will be defeated easily.
Get away with murder
Activate the "Debug menu" code and begin
game play on the "Mos Espa" level. After acquiring the
Mass Coupler from the "slashing prices" merchant and
following Anakin through the junkyard to Watto's shop, go to where
Barbo (The three-eyed alien dressed in black) and the guard are
talking. Turn right and go up the steps into the small apartment.
Then, go out of the other side and follow the ledge around to
the point where you are above Barbo, but do not go off of the
ledge or you will have to do it again. You will see a thin wire
which you will cross to get into Sebulba's "private"
apartment. Go up the stairs that are directly in front of you
and destroy the floor cannon. Get the blaster on the right and
kill the two girls in the room. Then, go out back and follow the
ledge until you see a bounty hunter down on the ground. Shoot
and kill him with two shots from the blaster. Go back out to the
front of Sebulba's "private" apartment. Then, see if
Barbo is talking to the guard and save the game. If he is there,
and you must stay part way in the room this trick will not work,
jump then shoot. If it hits him, he will say "Help".
Repeat this three times. The guard that Barbo was talking to should
not say "Rrr. You're a no good killer". If he does,
reload the game.
Glitch: Floating alien
Begin game play in the level Mos Espa Arena and go
through the Seven Gee Lounge into the stands. You will find one
of Sebulba's slave girls from his house in the Mos Espa level.
Use the Force on her and she will fly up into the air and float
like the Naboo soldier in "Escape From Theed".
On the Mos Espa Area level, after you get into the stands, go
straight down the stairs until you run into a wall. Turn right,
and you will see on the right, in the first row, an alien like
the one selling tickets at the start of the level. Walk up in
front of him, and Force push him. He will fly into the air. Go
into the stands behind him, turn to face him, and Force push him
again. You can do this as long as you can still see him. He never
stops getting higher if you never stop Force pushing him. You
also can do the same thing with the blue alien woman in the stands,
just like the one that takes you to see Jabba.
Glitch: Fun with Borbbo
Go to Borbbo's shop and wait for him to go back inside.
Stay outside his shop and wait for him to come out. Then, before
he turns the corner, run into him. He will slide around in circles
and say "If you want to do business go to Borbbo's store".
Glitch: Fall while swimming
In Otoh Gunga, play through the level. At the very
end, you will be required to enter the "Bongo Bay" and
talk to Qui-Gon Jinn to complete the level. When you are in the
last bubble lift which docks at the Bongo Bay, instead of walking
directly to Qui-Gon "hug" the left side of the wall
from the bubble lift. You will be able to go past Qui-Gon and
walk around the Bongo Bay. Jump into the water surrounding the
Bongo. If you swim toward the front of the Bongo and go beneath
the walkway, you will fall through to your death.
