Also you can unlock tracks for stunts and time trails. Time Trial - This you can run-through tracks, make records, or just practice on tracks you do horrible on in championship. Stunt Mode - Probably the most popular feature on Wave Race. There's a bunch of ramps where you can do many stunts. Look below to see how to do the stunts. 2p vs. - Race your friend on your favorite track! Options - Affect game play, save your records on your card, whatever. ======================================= II. TRACKS In Wave Race you have four(4) skiers. They are listed below. 1. R.Hayami - He's my favorite racer in the game. Tighten his grip and loosen his handling and he'll swerve less. He also gets lots of air off jumps. But he doesn't pull of moves as good as M.Jeter. 2. A.Stewart - She gets a good speed burst. Other then that, she's worthless. 3. M.Jeter - The best at stunts. He can do stunts perfectly that other racers have trouble with Also good at racing if there's no waves. 4. D.Marier - I never use this guy so I don't know what to say. He does have a terrible speed burst. A. Dolphin Park Used to warm up for normal championship mode, also a stunt track. Many of the games codes are in this track. B. Sunny Beach The easiest track in the game. If you get 3rd or 4th place, shame on you. C. Sunset Bay Another day of Wave Race comes to an end. But not before we race on this track! This also is an easy track. You'll need those 7 points here! D. Drake Lake Early in the morning while a light fog is out the racers are ready to gear up for another race. This track is pretty challenging. The hardest thing here is trying to steer through the stakes. If you get 1st place on these 3 tracks you'll almost have enough points to beat Twilight City! E. Marine Fortress There are a couple shortcuts in here. At the beginning try pressing down on the control stick to get air time of those waves to jump over the stone pillar there. Also in hard and expert on the 2nd lap a wall will open up making a shortcut. This also happens in reverse but you gotta go the other way. If you get 1st place on these 4 tracks, you almost have enough points to beat Glacier Coast! F. Port Blue Not too hard. Can get a little confusing on reverse mode. There is one shortcut where you have to steer through a narrow passage. On hard this is an option(I recommend you skip it), and on expert and reverse it's a necessity. G. Twilight City A day of racing is over, but the racers are still racing when the moon is out. Can be pretty hard for the first-timer, but becomes pretty easy one you get the hang of it. There's a shortcut at the beginning when you jump over a wall at the beginning. On expert you need to dive underneath. Look below to see how to dive. H. Glacier Coast Racing around in icy waters with just a diver suit on, but still can perform at top notch in this track. Lotta ice ramps and ice balls to get in your way. Also a big sheet of ice that can take you from 1st to 4th if your not careful. I. Southern Island After getting through the tough Glacier Coast and Twilight City tracks, you come to a fairly easy track. There are two(2) shortcuts here. The first one is when you jump off a ramp over a ship. The second one is jumping on a ramp and diving underneath the bridge. On the second lap you can just ski under the bridge. ======================================= III. STUNTS There are many stunts that can be done in Wave Race. A. Regular Stunts 1. Handstand - Release throttle then press up on the control stick, then down and hold. 2. Ride Backwards - Rotate the control stick clockwise and hold down. 3. Ride Standing - Rotate the control stick counterclockwise and hold up. 4. Backwards Spin - Rotate the control stick clockwise and hold up. 5. Stand w/ Backflip - Rotate the control stick counterclockwise and hold down. B. Ramp Stunts 1. No hands - In the air press A and the control stick back and forth. 2. Back Flip - Press up on the control stick on the ramp and down when you get off. 3. Barrel Row - Press left on ramp and right when you get off. Switch the direction do a counterclockwise roll. 4. Dive - Press down on the ramp and up when you get off. 5. Double Flip - Same as a flip but hold down longer. 6. Helicopter Flip - Press left-up or right-up on ramp and down when you get off. 7. Helicopter Double - Hold down longer to do an extra flip. This the Flip most points you can get on a stunt. ======================================= IV. SECRETS & CODES 1. Ride the Dolphin The hardest code in the game. With this code you'll be able to ride a dolphin in the warm-up of normal championship. To access this you need to go to Dolphin Park in Stunt Mode. Go through all the rings and do these stunts in no particular order: -Handstand -Backwards Spin -Stand w/ Backflip -Barrel Roll both directions -Back Flip(once) -Dive At the end you should hear dolphin noises. And in the beginning screen you should see racers riding dolphins. To ride the dolphin go to Championship, select normal, select warm-up, and while you are selecting your racer, hold down on the stick or pad. 2. Baby Dolphins & a Whale. In warm-up, follow the dolphin. Do whatever he does on the ramp for two(2) laps. Then the dolphin should jump over a bridge. A baby dolphin should be following you. Do this for thirty(30) laps and a whale should be following you. 3. Mega Points on Stunt Mode. Whenever you do a stunt, press start before you land. You should hear the announcer same something. Do this for ever stunt you do. You will get a ton of points at the end. 4. Unlock Twilight City Track. Play hard mode on Championship until you reach it. 5. Unlock Glacier Coast Track. Play expert mode on Championship until you reach it. 6. Unlock Reverse Mode. Get 1st place on expert mode. 7. Change Racer Colors Hold up on the stick as you choose your racer. ======================================= V. Options 1. Change Names Change the racers names instead of using the defaults. 2. View Records Look over the records to show your "I'll believe it when I see it" friend that doesn't believe your 3000 point record at Glacier Coast. 3. Change Conditions Change the conditions for the track's difficulty. You can change conditions of hard and expert modes until you beat them at championship. 4. Audio Change the audio settings. 5. Erase Course Records Erase the course records, I don't understand why you would want to do that though. 6. Save and Load Save the records to your Memory Card, so you can load them back if your little sister doesn't know what she's doing. It takes a couple pages. ======================================= VI.
