Also known as "F-Zero on water", Wave Race 64 is a racing video game designed by Nintendo EAD and distributed by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. This game was launched in 1996, and it is a sequel to 1992 game "Wave Race". Wave Race 64 features high-speed boats which are having transforming abilities, enabling the players to shift from a steady catamaran-style form to a smooth and elegant canoe style version. This game has had great commercial success and has sold more than 150,000 units in Japan by December 1996. By 2007, the game has sold around 2 million copies in the United States.
Three single-player modes and a multiplayer mode are included in this game. The game supports the Controller Park, that will enable the players to transfer saved data from one platform to another. In the Championship mode, players need to race against the rivals via a series of levels and win the Championship. There are four levels of difficulties from which you can choose your preferred one. When a player completes a particular level of the game, points are awarded based on the performance, and on the rank, they finished.
The players can unlock other courses and modes of the game by winning the Championship mode. In 1997, Wave Race 64 ranked 68th out of 100 Best Games of All Time by EGM Publications.
