Show me another game with the same water physics model of that generation or hell even Dreamcast that runs at a 30fps .

It was a technical triumph in '96, but an artistic one too and that's why it's weathered the decades so well, new jet ski based games still use this game as a base for reference and inspiration
The water in Wave Race was out of this world, with incredible lighting and transparency effects that made it look real. Different tracks took place at various times of day, showcasing the lighting effects and how they highlighted the water.

The waves affect handling in a number of ways depending on how you approach them. Cutting into waves at an angle, launching off ramps, even the way they make your jet ski bounce, no game prior had ever felt like this. Weather conditions also play a factor. Heavy rain will cause the water to rise while the tide coming in causes i.t to recede, revealing obstacles and even creating shortcuts. All of these factors make the already strong track design more dynamic
