Wave Race 64 offers nine different courses with wave conditions that change depending on the racers actions. Courses include: "Sunny Beach", "Drake Lake", and the exceptionally beautiful "Twilight City". Three different modes of play-championship, time trials, and stunt mode-give players a variety of single and multi-player options. Tricks include: flips, rolls, handstands, riding backwards, somersaults, and submarines. Riders can individually configure their jet skis to match their racing preferences, and the wave conditions can be adjusted. Four different crafts are available, with two American, one Canadian, and one Japanese rider.
