Play Rip-Tide Racing Online

Rip-Tide Racing is the kind of game that makes you forget you're holding a tiny Game Boy Color—until your hands start cramping from gripping it too tight. You hop on a jet ski, and suddenly you're bouncing over waves, barely staying in control as the water tries to throw you off at every turn. The physics are just floaty enough to feel wild but not unfair, and the AI racers? They'll shove you into buoys if you let them.

What surprised me was how different each track feels. One minute you're weaving through calm canals, the next you're fighting against ocean waves that toss you around like a toy. And yeah, the shortcuts are there, but good luck taking them without wiping out half the time. It's got that same addictive "one more race" energy as Wave Race, but with a little more bite. Perfect for when you want something fast, chaotic, and unapologetically '90s.
