Wave Race 64

Wave Race 64 is a racing game for the Nintendo 64 that was released on September 27 1996 in Japan and on November 5 1996 in North America. In Wave Race 64 the player races on jet skis in many different weather conditions, on a variety of different courses.
The objective of each race is to not only need to beat the other racers but also to successfully weave the jet-ski through various buoys. There are two types of buoys - red colored, which are signified by an R on them and must be passed on the right side, while yellow buoys, which are marked with an L and must be passed on the left side. Failure to do either of these will result in a loss of power (meaning the jet-ski will lose speed) and missing five buoys over the course of a race will result in disqualification. For some reason, in this game there is no way to see the credits of the people who worked in the game.
Originally, Wave Race 64 was going to be a racing game based on water-based ships that changed forms when they take a turn. Because of its similarities with the then still-in-progress F-Zero X, the game took a drastic turn in its concept. [[Citing sources citation needed]]
Like Super Mario 64, Wave Race 64 was also re-released in Japan in July of 1997, this time taking advantage of the Rumble Pak. [link]
