- We're revisiting the absolute classic that is Star Wars - Episode I: Jedi Power Battles on the PS1. Even if you don't get very far (up to level 3 as a kid..) you're still having a great time slashing and dicing battle droids like no tomorrow. Until you die, and then decide to do it all over again.

![[TAS] PSX Star Wars Episode I: Jedi Power Battles by DarkKobold in 46:31.18](/img/n.gif)
Plo Koon was the reason for me realizing I really wanted to have an Orange Saber
This game is the reason I’m mad as hell he doesn’t have an orange saber in the show. He should’ve had it.
He was the reason I decided I wanted this game
OH MY GOSH! SAME!
Plo Koon and Mace were OP. Epsecailly when you got the sabre throw down.
Isn't that how we all were..?
Glad I'm not the only one who has the sound of Yoda chuckling as I pick up items living rent free in my head.
damn.. i loved this game when i was younger couldn't stop playing it when it first came out
They should've keep doing the other episodes and making Jedi Power Battles a saga. Just imagine
Attack of the Clones: Obi Wan, Anakin, Mace Windu, Ki Adi Mundi, Aayla Secura. Secret characters: Jango Fett, Count Dooku, Yoda
Revenge of the Sith: Obi Wan, Anakin, Mace Windu, Kit Fisto, Yoda. Secret characters: Grevious, pre-suit Darth Vader, Darth Sidious.
A New Hope: Luke Skywalker, Ben Kenobi, Han Solo, Chewie, Leia. Secret Characters: Tarkin, Greedo, Darth Vader
Empire Strikes Back: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewie, Leia, Lando. Secret Characters: Boba Fett, Yoda, Darth Vader.
Return of the Jedi: Luke Skywalker, Han Solo, Chewie, Leia, Admiral Ackbar. Secret Characters: Lando, Darth Vader, the Emperor.
Also, I always wished it had a versus mode so I can fight against my friend since the combat system was very good
I wanted more games and levels after the first game. I was hoping theyd let you continue to use the same character as well. More characters would have been amazing from the later films as well as a versus mode. I wouldnt hate a modern remake that ket the originals spirit either.
@@LinkZeraus That and op's suggestions were partially realized in the ROTS game for PS2/XBOX. Another amazing game, I remember how exciting I was getting it as my first game for my new PS2 back in 2005.
That sounds cool but some of these characters don't make sense. Like why would you ever play as Admiral Ackbar? Also for secret characters, I would include more of the bounty hunters and certainly not Greedo over Bossk or IG-88.
It could have been excellent with more established what if scenarios, it's something i'm not against :)
Spent hours on this game as a kid and I remember being Obi wan and my friend being Mace windu and going through continuously . Such fun times
Me and my mate of 28 years are revisiting this game, trying to pay homage to our childhood selves who thought the coop was eternally impossible.
We're currently on Coruscant, me as Qui Gon, him as Obi Wan. We will complete this before the year is out!
Great game, this and episode 1 racer are classics!
one of the gretaest co-op games as a child, me and my mate bacame masters at it and new every secret power up but still came up short against dart maul then boot it back up from the beginning, the frustration. very tempted to see i can beat him now haha
My Buddy and I beat Darth Maul on the very first run and we LOST OUR MINDS! We were running around the house like we had just won the Super Bowl. Mind you this was after an entire day of trying to finally beat Dooku.
People have no idea how fantastic this game was. The challenged between different enemies. Rescue mission, platform agility skills in different maps and landscapes. Brilliant game overall. I would play it again in heartbeat. Amazing memories for me and my brother in co-op mode. Thank you to the developers for this masterpiece
I loved this game! Even finished it as a 11 year old. I was so proud...
Niice. The level with all the platforms was annoying af. I think its the 3rd or 4th level. Me and my buddy beat maul around 2001. That game is raw
Congrats. I still remember beating the 100 waves as obi wan. I tried to beat the damn level SOOO many times as Mace and Qui gon but couldn't and one day while sick i beat the damn level as obi wan.. Only to see it just boot me back to the main menu.... But I fucking beat it...
@@evil-g-ferret6531 hahahah thats funny. Yeah i still havnt beat the 100 guys i tried like 5 times a few weeks ago but only made it about half way. It takes a lot of patience for sure. Your a beast for beating it!
"We've been waiting for you!" Sick ass drum beat ensues.
Since I'm a huge fan of the Phantom menace, I absolutely loved jedi power battles. The game was hard, but it didn't come to us as well as the children in their 90s, as we were used to the higher difficulty. I finished the game several times as a child. most of the time, the game crashed me at the end of the final duel at the abyss with darth maul. I always liked to play for Plo Koon and Darth Maul. it was a beautiful time. That game is fantastic. An excellent system of cover for lasers when a person felt that he had a reflection like a Jedi and can repel bolts like Qui Gon. Tatooine and Darth Maul were seriously challenged
That gigantic death caterpillar at the end of level 2, the gungan general boss on level 7 and any time Darth Maul appeared were the absolute worst for me. And the platforming, the droids shooting you out the sky like they said. Idk if the level 7 boss was that general that appears in the film, not boss Nass, but the other one I forget the name of who’s always like “ahhh Jar Jar!….Who’sa been a naughty boy?” or whatever. The Level 6 thug boss wasn’t so bad, because there’s a trick where you can get his AI to make him kill himself and jump off the roof of the tall building lol.
@@rooroo9216 that caterpillar cost me a controller 😂 full on rage not knowing how to kill it or if what I was doing was having any effect
@@ruprecht3360 yeah it was the absolute worst, I had to ration tons of lives just to beat it lol
Loved this game, spent hours in solo or co-op. I never managed to beat it Darth Maul using Plo Koon, but everything else was doable for me with a bit a practice. Very good memories.
Co-op was where it was at! Amazing
try putting force power so you can get lightning and then switch between blocking and combo of square square cross, otherwise full hp, thats how I beated him as Plo Koon
@@destinyj.5432 savage. Plo koon was so slow and his main force move is weak sauce. Your a beast for beating maul with him.
@@ericjames5595 it took me like 3 hours of trying tho xd and it felt really unfair at first
Yeah maul as plo koon was easily the toughest of the main characters. Mace windu was stupidly easy though by comparison.
I loved playing this game when I was a kid. It was hard, but at least it prepared me to Dark Souls 😂
I thought that The Phantom Menace game was better. Difficulty was maybe a touch easier on that game but I played countless hours on it as opposed to this game. Especially once I discovered the cheat code to allow you to start on whichever level you wanted.
This game was so cool back then. But so hard. Used to play with my cousins and we got rekt in like the second level lol
Damn, I used to play this game with one of my first middle school buddies. Used to hang out at his place after school and try to beat the game. How nostalgic.
That was me
I remember qui gon was my favorite because of the green saber but i hated how slow his moves felt compared to obi wan and mace
I loved playing as him because i could actually heal. Lol
This is my first ever star war game. I remember finishing the game in just one sitting, cus I didn't have a memory card back in 2002. It was so frustrating because I couldn't beat Maul as Qui Gon, but still is my favorite star war game.
I LOVED this game! I remember beating it when I was 11, I was so stoked. Unfortunately, without a ps1, or any other old system, I haven't been able to play it since the early 2000s
This game used to drive me nuts because of the difficulty i finished it almost 20 years later by raising my stick sensitivity and putting auto run on 😎
As a kid I completed it with a friend and my little brother, with two players it's easier.
My god I played this game as a kid, I almost forgot about it, I sure didn't remember its name, I was sure this was just "The Phantom Menace" up until I recently saw a video of an actual "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace" videogame I never played and realized they were two different things. I mostly played this with a friend of mine back then and as a 2 players game it was fun, even though it was hard and it took us LOT of time to finish. We died hundreds of time against Darth Maul. And in the speeder bikes bit. Hated those. Playing it alone was much worse and much more rage inducing. I'm not sure I've ever beat Maul by myself either. But I still remember it with a smile on my face, it was probably the first Star Wars game I've ever played.
Amazing reply! I don't think I ever killed Maul as a kid. Hundreds upon hundreds of deaths..
I spent whole summer playing this when I first got it. One of the best games ever.
i GRINDED the hell outta this game as a kid solo cuz i had no brothers or nothing but always got to the 3rd or 4th level and died... so much fun, reminds me of the old sonic games where u can only get so far until ur bored or just die and have to start over..
i really do wish this game got a remake or something because i just want to relive the days of playing this game but dont want to spend money to hunt for old system and game just to play it.
Brilliant game, I'm pretty sure I completed it with all of the characters. Some of the SFX have stayed with me for 20 years and if any star wars game needs a reboot it's this one.
I love this game. It's amazing. The music, the enemies, the combo structure, the difficulty and the bosses were fun.
Thanks for making this video. Glad to see others had a great experience with this game. The game really meant a lot to me. I bonded with friends and family through it. Very difficult and took me years to beat. once I beat it once, I was able to beat it with ease.
I had this game when I was younger but I played it on ps2 so I couldn’t save so I remember playing the first mission over and over again, same thing with the PS1 Phantom menace game lol
Officially on my list of games to play! Awesome video dude
I remember that we were stuck on the worm boss. I think it was also the boss of the third lvl. Never finished the game. But really loved it. My first star wars game. It felt incredible destroying droids with obi wan kenobi
There was a glitch at the last level when you start the fight with Darth Maul, if you are with Qui-Gon Jinn you can use your quick attack on Maul indefinitely
grabbing as many points you want ! Maul try to escape but you are too fast for him :D Try to run , hit, try to run, hit repeat :)
Jedi Power Battles was insanely ahead of it's time. Played for a good 5+ years straight with bro, always trying to get through levels without any damage, it's largely possible except for a few bits here and there. The platforming jumps are the hardest thing, lots of people make the mistake of double jumping straight away, the trick is to jump, reposition then hit the double, it lets you correct the angles.
Just HOW difficult this game is cannot be understated... My brother and I could never make it through the 2nd level over all the years we on/off played this (and we only ever made it as far as the 2nd level ONCE)! That droid boss battle at the end of the first level was wayyyy too much that early on. It's also worth noting that if you ran out of the - already very restricting - lives, you had to start from the very beginning...
The second level was nuts. I was stuck on it for years. Beating it was an amazing feeling. Didn’t beat the full game until I was nearly a teenager though
I absolutely loved this game yes it was difficult but brilliant. I was born in 94 and was able to make it through the game as a kid
I have so many good memories playing this game
When I unlocked Darth Maul I was utterly disappointed. I really wanted to control him with the double lightsaber.
haha but the force powers were OP!!
love it. played it in holidays often with friends but was never able to get past level 8. it was so frustrating but if you finish a level it was incredible
Thank you for reminding me of this game I’ve been trying to remember the name for years
Loved this game as a kid. Just got one in November 2023. Still awesome!! Having a blast.
Was a fun game. I feel even older now LOL
Everytime we look at the date of a game we played in our childhood. EURGH..
4:57 I loved this game. When I was a kid we had a PlayStation but no memory cards so I couldn’t save the game.
I played it until at one point I was able to beat the whole game in a single sitting over several hours on a hot summer day in the valley.
I think my biggest criticism was that if you do unlock earth maul and play as him you don’t gain any health or force as you pass levels so you end up with a tiny bar of both compared to any normal character who had completed the game
I remember playn this game with my mate back when we were about 10 years old. You could co-op it and we tried the first level for about a year... just to learn that the second level was even harder haha. anyway we managed to finish it after many tries.... what a remembrance.
This was my Star wars legendary playstation 1 game 👍.
This game is at the number 1 top favorite by Lucas art's.
Hopefully any Retro consoles by china has this game
Really loved this game and also beat it when I was like 6. Dunno if I'd be able to do that again today, it was tough. Maybe not one of the best Star Wars games but definitely one of the most underrated. Co-op with friends or my brother was always a blast.
It took me years to complete this game back in the day
Playing every Saturday morning with my karate friend before class
Played this with my best pal from school for hours in coop.
Imagine how well a game like this would do today.
The tank segment in level 3 or 4 is one of my favorite vehicles ever, P1 gets a wide tank that can run over and blast things with the turret, P2 gets bouncing machine guns. It's a good trade.
Loved this game. It was so hard but the challenge kept me going at it for years. I did complete this game I'm pleased to say.
I loved this game beat it so many times good memories ❤
I love this game but man it was hard it did piss me off
Perfect summary!
I remember I was so shit-scared when Darth Maul first appeared.
It's beautiful well made, some vibes of Jedi survivor
I was LITERALLY thinking of this game the other day and forgot its name. Thank you! I had it, and I'm glad it's not just me that couldn't beat it haha It was hella hard!
I finished this game once. And I remember it vividly; it was the first game I ever finished as a kid, and it was as Plo Koon.
finishing it with plo koon is no easy feat i had the game manuel for it and found that the longer your combos went the easier was to break darth mauls guard however his pain state was so short he could answer and counter you if you used your strong attack combos
@@gathofbaal7849 It took...many many tries to beat as Plo Koon.
I remember mastering the first three levels. Then everything after that gave me crippling anxiety no eight year old should ever experience.
I remember finishing the game 3 times as kid and 1 time now when I got it running on my PC, God I love this game even tho its sometimes buggy and stupid
I still have PTSD from when I was 9 years old playing this game. I loved it though, it was like an abusive relationship
I was today years old when I learned that picking up items was actually a Yoda sound.
Ah. My lost romance. I purchased a copy of this when it released from Software Etc. at my local mall. Proceeded to the Aladdin's Castle near by and got down on some Sniper Scope. Had the game laying on the machine and some a-hole stole it right from under me whilst I was doming folks. I never got to play the game even a single time. And I still think about it to this day....
I usually used Mace Windu, for his ability where he ducks and his lightsaber shields him while slicing enemies. Plo Koon was cool too.
I remember the Corscant level being the hardest, but the entire game is hard.
“We’ve been waiting for you”
trying to defeat Darth Maul as Adi Gallia is so bloody difficult...
My all time favorite thing to do was unlocking a simple ability with Plo Koon that let you throw enemies around the same way some enemies did it. Man I had the best time just sending droids flying into the abyss, good times
One of the best games ever. Not for the faint of heart.
I'll never forget the literal buggy af caterpillar boss at level two an absolute nightmare in single player but was handy in co-op and then all the jumping deaths later on when the pov would just force your buddy off a ledge or make an invisible forcefield around a landing area 🤬
Love the Dreamcast version, much more polished.
Me and my bro raced home to beat the last mission , we played co op so we wanted to see who would get the finishing hit , and it happened just like the movie never will forget how tight my brother was but happy that we beat it
I greatly wish this game was unlocked with the PlayStation store on PS5.
This was the first Star Wars Themed Dark Souls
Great retrospective! Just finished it now after never being able to as a kid and i can say its a lot of fun, although very unfair and difficult at times.
Never beat this one, but played it a ton with my brother. Got pretty far though!
One time I paused this game for a whole weekend cause my dad came go get me and I didnt want to lose progress. When I got home the ps1 was hot enough to burn you lol
This game is fun, but man, Darth Maul fight is so tough to master.
This game was great
Its a very hard game, like all lucas-star wars games, and also one with of the best graphics of the PSOne era
This was one of the hardest games I ever played in my childhood, I remember me and my best friend in my basement trying so hard for days to beat this game on co op mode and we just couldn't,I played through it solo one day when my friend wasn't allowed to leave the house but I remember finally beating Darth maul twice,once as obi wan and second as qui Gon and when I did I sprinted down the street and knocked frantically on my friend's door to tell him I conquered the monster alone,he didn't believe me till I did it again after he was allowed to come out
I did beat the game with EVERY character except master Plo, his slow movement made it difficult to best Maul, and my 7 year old brain thought "max combos" instead of "do a one-two until the level is done"
Loved this game
Never completed it
I found out there were more players Today
My main was Plo because yellow saber
very hard indeed. never killed maul the second time. great times, that and phantom menace was by far my favopurite games. today as a 30 year old it is even harder
greetings from germany
My favorite Star Wars game
Never did get a chance to beat Maul at the end, that level at Coruscant was hard as hell too
God I remember every bit of this game
Same. Apart from just the first three levels. Because that's as far as I got 🤪
Before we had Dark Souls, we had Jedi Power Battles. Jokes aside, I loved this game and managed to beat it with Obi-Wan after months of off and on playing.
Yeah, that damn Coruscant level.
Bunch of lightweights! I beat this game with all 5 characters as a kid. My nephews loved this game too. It was unfair and unforgiving at times, especially that neverending Coruscant level, but I enjoyed it.
Haha better gamer than us then
@@PlayStationMemories Lol probably more the fact that I sunk so many hours into this game. This game and the Tony Hawk pro skater games were my jam. Anything else, especially first person shooters, I am insanely bad at.
Great video!
never played the ps1 version, but always had a blast on the dreamcast port.
This game was legendary for the time, I gave me my hatred of commander battle droids lmao
Loved the game when i was a kid, it was hard...but not THAT hard once you get more powers and manage to improve the health and force meters a couple of times, there were even a lot of combos to unlock. I remember finishing it with all the characters (yeah...Amidala and Panaka where a pain) when i was like 12...man, now i want to play it again
They're still a massive pain at 32 believe me! 😀
after growing up with the PS1 version, I tried the dreamcast version a few months ago and it was MUCH easier to beat cause the platforming was much better to deal with
I had this for both the Playstation and the Dreamcast. I never beat it, primarily because I bought it to play with friends, and unfortunately the platforming segments make the game harder than it has to be. The Dreamcast version especially has a lot of places where you can fall through the level geometry, resulting in a lot of unfair deaths.
Wouldn’t say it’s the hardest Star Wars game ever made. It’s pretty fucking hard mind but I did complete it as a 12 year old
Nice Blue lightsaber for Mace Windu
I had alot of fun with this game as a kid though I never got past the 6th level 😅
Amazing Channel. Keep up the goof work.
this game was hard, but awesome. Loved it as a kid lml
10/10 PS1 game. Loved it.
I remember this game. It was very difficult but soooo addicting
My best friend and I attempted to beat this game multiple times when we were kids, it was impossible.
When I was younger, I played this game and Megaman x4. I thought I was bad playing challenging games like this one. But now I see I was wrong... The game is actually hard to beat. Dying a lot remembered me to Dark Souls.
BUT! The best part of the game is the COOP mode. Ahhh I remember these days when were some games that you can play with friends without internet... Instead of now that is always FIFA or another sports game.
