Some have said over time that beating Wizpig is next to impossible, well it isn't. If you get used to doing the green boost trick (which is mentioned in game by Taj the genie) and you become familiar with the track, then it's relatively easy. To be fair, if you can beat the Greenwood Village silver coin challenge and thus get to this point in the game, you should have some idea of what you are doing.
Also, it should be noted that the actual final showdown, is not nearly as challenging.
This video is ten years old now, damn.

Most people get wrong the boost...make sure you let go of accelerating right before you hit it to get that green boost, then don't start accelerating again till the boost is completely finished!

My parents bought me this game when it first came out in 1997. . . . It's 2019 and I am just finding out about a boost I never knew existed... wtf. I never beat this dude.

This race is near impossible without hitting the green boosts but the trick that helped me the most was if you stay in front of wizpig, he will push you giving you a slight boost. This trick takes practice to get used to because there are spots on the track where he will push you sideways instead of forward, but after I figured it out, it wasn't too hard.

Whenever you hit a boost, LET GO OF THE A BUTTON AND LET THE BOOST FIZZLE OUT COMPLETELY before you press A again. If you press A during the boost, it cuts it off completely. You NEED to master this trick if you want any hope of beating this boss. Without using it, you CANNOT and WILL NOT beat him no matter how hard you try.

As a kid, this race always scared me the most. Not sure if it was the thunderstorm or the music but this boss always freaked me out. Still does

Isn't it kind of funny jow wizpig is faster on foot than on his rocket? Seriously... you play as drumstick or TT for the second wizpig race and you're naturally faster than him, as long as you don't crash you'll pull ahead and stay ahead.

Fear is defined by the stomping sound of wizpig barely behind you making tracks faster than you driving.

This makes me remember my sis. We used to play that game like... 13 years ago. I was 4 and she was at the highschool. I never knew the original title and this fact has been killing me for years. But today I found it! My only memory of it was this boss battle (y'all don't know how traumatized I got).

I truly believe this race was harder than the 2nd race. You literally could not miss a boost pad on this race or you would get dusted by Wizpig. I can’t count how many tries this race took for me back then.

HAHAHA! Hahaha ha ha.... When I played this as a kid I didn't even know about the green boost trick.... You can NOT phantom how painstakingly, rage inducing this race was to win WITHOUT the green boost. The only way I could think of was use boost right off the start and swerve in front of him for him to kick you ahead of him.

Another tip is that if he's ever gaining on you, position yourself right between his legs when hes directly behind you, and if he hits you he'll actually give you a push forward

Wow! Awesome racing! After owning this game since it came out in 1997, I am finally getting back to trying to finish it. I could never pass the Silver Coin Challenge of Spaceport Alpha. I finally did so tonight (after countless restarts) and subsequently the Silver Coin Challenge of Star City. Now I am going after that silly pig. I can't believe I never knew about the green boost trick. So far I'm not having any luck, but I'm sure I'll get there. Thanks for the video.
