Played that game a lot back in the day. Still have it. Are there any benefits to picking a racer that's not Miles J?

Our mother used to take away games when we really made her upset with whatever we had done.

We convinced her Wave Race was our favorite game, so she always took that one. In reality, it was one of our most underplayed games. I didn't like most racing games other than Diddy Kong Racing and Mario Kart 64 until I got much older.

It's like you read my mind. I've been listening to the soundtrack lately. Did anyone else know some tracks like Sunny Beach were actually remade for the Japanese and Best Seller versions?

I really wish jet ski games were more common. The only recent one I can think of is Riptide GP/2.

It's simple. You pass the red buoys on the right and the yellow buoys on the left and try to make it to first place without missing all of the buoys. If you go into the practice mode (Dolphin Park) it will teach you how to do various tricks off of ramps and waves. The waves get a lot heavier in later courses, plus you'll have to deal with obstacles such as fog, icebergs, and floating cargo/debris. But it's fun if you can master the controls.

Shit OPs like these should be bannable offenses. As it is, they're not, so the best solution is to hide them.

The sad part? You ruined a good thread with a fully-shit OP. What a shame.

Wave Race 64 is practically a Sega arcade racer developed by Nintendo.

Because if you play as the girl and intentionally make her fly backwards off the jetski, then pause at the right moment her crotch will be right up against the screen.

Jet Moto was hard as balls, especially the second one.

Please, if the rules included every autismal pet-peeve you fucktards have, the board would be unusable.

Always reminded me of jet moto for some reason though. I guess wave race just feels heavier somehow. Still a good game though. Glad it saw a steam release. ( actually hoping their next game gets one too )

It'd be nice to see a sillier care free wave race like game though... Even if its on land. The weight and dolphins and solidness of the whole thing always stuck with me

I always thought that was neat of Nintendo.

It's the only racing game on water where the waves are actually relevant and part of the gameplay

There's even a button to stabilize (B)
