Play Wave Race 64 (V1.1) Online
You wrestle with choppy waves and rain-slick turns on a jet ski, threading between buoys as the water physics try to buck you off—mess up once and you're done. Unlock faster skis by nailing those tight drifts.
Wave Race 64 came out for the Nintendo 64 in 1996, developed and published by Nintendo. It was one of those early N64 titles that really showed off what the system could do with water and physics, standing out in a lineup that was still finding its footing.
You control a jet ski racer, competing in a series of championship circuits across varied water conditions. The main objective is to win races by hitting all the buoys in the correct order (red for right, yellow for left) while navigating waves, weather, and tight corners. Signature mechanics include the dynamic water physics that realistically affect your handling, and the stunt mode where you perform tricks for points. The pacing is fast, and the difficulty ramps up noticeably as you advance, especially when dealing with stormy seas or aggressive opponents. It feels responsive and challenging, with every turn and jump demanding your full attention.
