References to such upgrades are merely flavor text.

Drat! I thought that was the case, but I was hoping.

Thanks for confirming about the swoop bikes. I went nuts for nearly 4 hours one day trying myriad different ways to get bike upgrades before concluding they were a myth. It makes me think they were going to add them, but pulled back due to design problems, or something similar.

The swoop races were probably the most challenging part of the whole game, IMO. It was one thing you just simply... had to be good at. I must've practiced for an hour on the Tattooine track alone.

Interesting. The only swoop race I even tried was the first one on Taris. It just didn't appeal to me. On top of that, I never played pazzak... not once!

I managed to get the top tier on Tatooine, but could only clear the 1st level on Manaan.

As for Pazzak, I bought the deck from the old man on Taris, and played a couple times with Mission, but that's it.

I am glad to see some consensus that the Swoop racing is darn hard! I was feeling like a loser because I could not get up to Nico's standard on Tatooine. I might just skip it for now.

I am pretty good at Passak, though.
