Wave Race 64
Baby Dolphins and a Whale:
To see the baby dolphins, go to Championship, Normal, then Warm Up.
Now follow the dolphin three times around the course as best as
possible. If you follow him correctly he will jump over the Bridge
after the Dolphin Park sign.
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.
To see the killer whale, repeat this trick 30 times without a mistake.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Big Dolphin:
To view the big dolphin, you must go to Championship, Normal, then
Warm Up. If you do this 20 times consecutively you will see a larger
dolphin in Dolphin Park.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Change Colors:
While selecting your jetski, highlight any character and hold Up on
the analog stick. Continue to hold until your character and jetski
change color.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dive Under Water:
As you start up ramp, press and hold Down. As soon as you clear the
ramp, press and hold Up to dive under water.
This works best with wild waves. It just slows you down with
calm waves.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dolphin Ride:
Select Stunt Mode mode and enter Dolphin Park. Next go through all the
rings and perform the following tricks:
Handstand
Backwards spin
Stand with backflip
Single backflip off ramp
Dive off ramp
Barrel roll off ramp in both directions
If you did the trick correctly a dolphin will squeak when you cross
the finish line. To ride your dolphin, select Dolphin Park in a
Championship Race and hold Down while selecting your racer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Double Flip:
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 racer to do this with; especially on the
small ramps.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Double Side Flip:
This stunt can earn you over 2000 points if done properly. Head
straight at a ramp and gain as much speed as possible. Then about an
inch from the top of the ramp push the joystick in the up/diagonal
position and then pull down and hold. If your timing was right you'll
do a side flip, then a back flip and land perfectly.
Note: J. Meter is the best one to do this with.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Easy Points:
Press Start as soon as you complete a stunt. If done correctly all
sounds should stop except for the announcer. You want to pause the
game as soon as the announcer starts talking after you do a stunt. If
done correctly, you can get up to 30,000 points on a level!
Addendum: For even more points, cross the finish line at 0 time. This
will push your score even higher!
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Helicopter Trick:
Get up as much speed as possible and head for a ramp. As you reach the
peak of the ramp, press the control stick Down and Left or Down and
Right.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Reverse Courses:
If you win the gold cup on Expert, you get a Reverse option. Unlike
Mario Kart 64 where the tracks are only "mirrored", in WaveRace 64 you
can actually run the courses in their opposite direction.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ride Backwards:
To ride backwards, rotate the joystick clockwise and quickly press and
hold Down.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Start With Max Power:
At the start of the race, press the Accelerate button immediately
before the third beep.
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Turbo Charge:
For a faster jetski, hold the gas button immediately before the
announcer says "Go!" The closer you are to the announcement, the
faster your jetski will go.
