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.
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!
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!
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.
Ride on a Dolphin! Despite Game Fan breaking the news
on this great code, they didn't seem to test exactly what was required
to do access the dolphin and gave us a broad general idea which would work
anyway. We've simplified the code down to the point that it's really easy.
Here is what you do. 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. 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.
