The needle-nosed Mars Guo piloted a big bruiser of a Podracer during the Boonta Eve Classic, the spectacle in which Anakin Skywalker won his freedom from slavery. It was his first time in the big leagues, though Mars had gained valuable experience in the minor rim leagues.

In the second lap, Mars was taken out of the race by some high-speed sabotage courtesy of Sebulba. The slippery Dug tossed a piece of debris into Mars' intakes, bringing the giant racer down in a terrible crash. Anakin Skywalker, who was in third place at the time, was clipped by Mars' wreckage, and narrowly avoided a similar fate when one of his Podracer cables disengaged. He was able to regain control, and move up to second place.
