Change Colors Discription: While selecting your jetski, highlight any character and hold Up on the analog stick. Continue to hold until your character and jetski change color. ![]()
Dolphin Ride Discription: Select the Score Attack mode and play in Dolphin Park. From there you need to go through all the rings, and do all the stunts which includes diving underneath the water from a ramp. When you've competed this, you'll hear the dolphin make a noise. Handstand (off throttle - press down and up) Spin (off throttle - move stick clockwise) Stand (off throttle - move stick counterclockwise) Flip (off Ramp - quickly press up and down) Dive (off ramp - hold down) Roll (off Ramp - hold left and then snap right) Helicopter (off ramp - do roll and press up & down in air) Now exit and select "Practice" under Championship Mode. When selecting your character, hold Down on the analog pad and when you start, you'll be riding a dolphin. You can't take him outside of Dolphin Park, but it's still a fun trick. ![]()
Reverse Tracks Discription: To race all the tracks in reverse, beat the game on the Expert setting. ![]()
Turbo Charge Discription: For a faster jetski, hold the gas button immediately before the announcer says "Go!" The closer you are to the announcement, the faster your ski will go. ![]()
New, Unlisted Stunts Double Flip Stunt: First get some speed with the jet ski. When you are on the ramp tap up one inch from the top of the ramp and hold down to do your flip. Instead of making the character do one complete flip hold the down button longer so he does another turn. If you do it correctly he will land perfectly and ride on. J. Meter is the best guy to do this especially on the small ramps. You get 2000+ points for this stunt. I have gotten 3120 for this stunt in Sunny Beach because the "judges" (the algorithm which calculates the score) gives you more for a smaller ramp and the height you jump off the ramp. Helicopter Stunt: It is a variation of the flip where you spin side ways. When you are on the ramp turn sharply diagonal left-up or diagonal right-up then hold down to do a side ways flip. You can get an average of 1700+ points for this. Helicopter into a Flip Stunt: Do the helicopter stunt as listed above but hold the down button more longer. It will look like he does a helicopter move but then rotates so he is an upright position and does another flip. You can get 2500+ points if done corectly. I have gotten 3450 points on the first ramp in Twilight City for this. Triple Flip To my knowledge this stunt can only be done in Glacier Park on the big ramp. You need a lot of speed and a lot of air to do this. It can only be done with J. Meter on this stage to my knowledge. You tap up 1-2 inches from the top of the ramp and start doing the flip and hold down. You need a lot of speed for this one so do not try to do any turns or get hit by an ice block in the water which may slow you down or stop you completely. You can get 3000+ points for this. I have gotten 5610 points because I sort of started like a helicopter stunt with two flips after. Note that this is a difficult stunt to perform and you do need a lot of speed, timing, and maybe some tinkering with the customization of the racer at the character select screen. ![]()
Same Colored Racer in Two-Player Mode Here's a cool trick that allows both players to have the same racer AND the same color in Wave Race 64. First, use controller two to decide which racer you are going to use in the Vs. Mode, and make sure that the first player's cursor is on an adjacent racer. Press up on controller two (digital or analog) and press Start to have player 1's default color. Then, on controller one, press right (or left) and Start at almost the same time. If you do this correctly, you can start the race with both players having the same color. If you want both players to have player 2's default color instead, try the following: Use controller one to decide the racer, and make sure that the second player's cursor is on an adjacent racer. Press up on controller one and press Start. Now on controller two, press right (or left) and Start at almost the same time. That's all there is to it. If you aren't already confused, wait until you start the match! ![]()
Get Mega Points Easily To rack up MEGA points in Wave Race 64 stunt courses, press the pause button as soon as you complete a stunt. If you do it right, all the sounds should stop except for the announcer ("I can do that!", "What a great stunt!", etc.) Usually if you press pause at the exact moment you hit the water you should be OK, but the idea is to pause it the instant the announcer starts talking (that way this cheat works with handstands, etc.). If you do it right, you should get tons of points for the simplest things. My little brother got over 20,000 points on Dolphin Park this way and over 30,000 on Glaicer Coast! ![]()
Baby Dolphins and More!!! To get baby dolphins to follow you, go to Championship Mode, choose easy and then choose warm up. you'll end up in Dolphin Park. Follow the dolphin as it forges out two loops. Stay close to the dolphin, but don't lose it or pass it up. You'll know whether you're on the right track if, as you reach the pier, it'll do a flip. It's important that you do what the dolphin does, so if it does a barrel roll as it clear the jumps, then do barrel rolls; if it does flips, then do flips, etc. The dolphin seems to randomly make a choice as to which trick (if any) it performs each time you turn on the machine, so if you aren't good at the tricks, keep restarting machine until he's just clearing the jumps. After approximately two laps (each lap consists of two times around), the dolphin will do a back flip (if you've done it right), and a baby dolphin will follow you. Each time you do it another baby dolphin will appear until there's three. After you've completed approximately 30 laps of this kind without falling, passing the dolphin, or messing up in any other way, you'll attract a killer whale to join the pack!
