Play Wave Race 64 - Kawasaki Jet Ski (J) Online

Game Overview

Wave Race 64 is one of those games that makes you realize how much fun water physics can be when they're done right. You're not just racing on flat tracks—the waves actually push you around, and if you don’t time your jumps right, you’ll wipe out hard. The jet skis handle like they’ve got weight to them, which makes nailing tight turns between buoys weirdly satisfying.

At first, I thought it was just another racing game, but the water changes everything. Some courses have calm lakes, others throw choppy ocean waves at you, and the way your ski bounces off them feels surprisingly real for an N64 game. The two-player mode is chaotic in the best way, especially when you shove each other into the wrong buoys mid-race.

It’s got that classic late-’90s arcade vibe—easy to pick up, but you’ll keep replaying just to shave seconds off your best time.
