Wave Race Codes -

Quick start:
Hold both Gas buttons just before the announcer says, "Go!". Done properly, your speed should increase immediately to maximum power.

Extra points:
Pause the game immediately after a stunt and just before the announcer speaks in stunt mode. When done properly, only the announcer's voice will be heard. A large number of extra points will be awarded for simple stunts. Another way get extra points is to cross the finish time as the clock reaches zero.

Color select:
Highlight a character and hold Up on the Analog-stick when selecting a jet ski to choose between two different color schemes.

Gentle waves and ramps:
Press B just before hitting a big wave or ramp to reduce the amount of air time.

Change view:
Press C-Up and C-Down to adjust the zoom. Press C-Left and C-Right to change the camera angle.

Slide:
Press R to slide on the water.

Baby dolphins:
Select championship mode, normal, and warm up. During game play, follow the dolphin around the course three times mirroring each stunt that it performs. The dolphin will jump over the bridge after the Dolphin Park sign to confirm correct trick entry.

Killer whale:
Same as the baby dolphin trick, except the dolphin must be followed for twenty course laps. A killer whale will appear to lead the baby dolphins.

Penguin:
Same as the baby dolphin trick, except the dolphin must be followed for one hundred course laps. The penguin will be wading around the shore.

Reverse mode:
Win the game on expert mode. After the ending sequence, return to championship mode and choose the new reverse mode option to go through the course backwards.

Fast recovery:
Repeatedly tap A after falling off the jet ski to climb back quickly.

Hint: Change rider's name:
To change a rider name, go to options screen and select "Change Names".

Hint: Double Backflip:
Select M. Jeter, the third character from the left on the selection screen. You can execute a double backflip on almost all waves and every course ramp except several ramps on Glacier Island. This maneuver results in 2340 to 2600 points per jump.

Hint: Marine Fort course:
Press Analog-stick Down when you go to jump the piece of cement. If you hit it halfway through, you may not wipe out.

Hint: Southern Island shortcut:
When you approach the jump (not the one that goes over the boat) do a submarine dive to go under the wharf, which saves some time. Note: This will only work in the first lap.

Hint: Port Blue shortcut:
Begin game play in two-player vs. mode. There a fork at the first tunnel. Follow the right side for a shortcut. Note: This cannot be done in normal mode.

Hint: Extra points:
When going off a ramp in stunt mode, turn tightly immediately before the ramp and do a flip. Doing this will give you a couple hundred more points.

Hint: Deeper dives:
To do a deeper and longer dive into the water, go to the watercraft selection screen. After choosing your watercraft, select "Custom", and put the small yellow bar all the way to the "Top End" of the "Engine" bar. Start the race and when you go off a wave or a ramp and perform a dive, you will go farther into the water and stay under longer.
