Waverace 64
Reverse Tracks
Wave Race 64 lets you race on the same eight tracks backwards. To open up the
"Reverse" mode, you must get a first place
overall on the Expert level of difficulty. After that, a fourth option called Reverse will
appear underneath Expert. You can now
race backwards on the tracks.
Easy Points
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!
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!
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.
Ride on a Dolphin
Select the Stunt Mode and play in Dolphin Park. From there you need to go through all the
rings and do all the stunts (listed
below), which includes diving underneath the water from a ramp. If you did everything
correctly, you'll hear the dolphin
squeaking when you cross the finish line.
Handstand (off throttle - press down and up)
Spin, i.e. "backwards ride" (off throttle - move stick clockwise)
Stand (off throttle - move stick counterclockwise) + Somersault (hold down)
Roll left (off ramp - tap right and hold left)
Roll right (off ramp - tap left and hold right)
Flip (off ramp - hold up and snap down)
Dive (off ramp - hold down and snap up)
Now exit and select Championship Mode and then Warm Up. When selecting your character,
hold down on the analog stick
and when you start, you'll be riding a dolphin. There is a catch, though; you can only use
the dolphin within this area. This cheat
is also saved to your game too (even after the power is turned off), so you don't have to
go through the stunt mode each time.
Speed Burst
Try to press and hold down the gas button right before the announcer says, "Go!"
If you are successful, you will immediately
increase your top speed. It can be increased anywhere from one arrow to maximum power if
you get it right.
New Colors
When you are selecting your jet ski, highlight any character, and hold up on the analog
stick. The character and jetski should
change color! You have your choice between two different colors.
