Inugami Korone Wins Final Championship Race to Clear Star Wars: Galactic Racer Campaign

The Hololive streamer beat the reigning champion with help from the game’s autopilot, which she called her “listener” at the controls.

Inugami Korone cleared the main story campaign of Star Wars: Galactic Racer on Sunday, winning the final championship race against the game’s reigning champion in the third stream of her playthrough. As the credits rolled she said she was glad to have finished it in front of her viewers.

The session began slowly. Korone joined late with a hoarse, sleepy voice, apologized and spent the first minutes warming it up. She said work planned for the day had been moved to another date, which left her the afternoon to play. She played the Steam version.

“I’m glad I could clear it in front of everyone.” — Inugami Korone, after the final race

Between races she spent her earnings on upgrades and bet in-game money on rivals, and she leaned on the autopilot for narrow roads and dark courses. She called it her “listener,” explaining that she imagined viewers taking the controller whenever she switched it on, and joked that handing over at a bad moment sent it into walls. She also spent much of the stream on Sebulba’s story events and the pod racer tests, and Tatooine was the course she said lifted her mood the most. Mines and wrecks often cost her places, and she worried about losing her last token.

The race that set up the finale came down to the final seconds: she landed one more hit at the end and won, after saying she had thought she was beaten. In the championship race she said she could not let Sebulba down, and she took the title in a direct contest with the champion. Chat filled with congratulations as the campaign ended.

Afterward she said she had long wondered what became of Sebulba after Episode I, that the game answered it, and that he had a much larger role than she expected. She recommended the game to viewers, saying the picture quality was high even though her stream looked blocky at such speed. She said she would take a break to bathe and eat before a 9 p.m. collab playing R.E.P.O. with Fuutan.
