Wave Race 64 cheat codes, tricks, hints, and walk throughs.
Baby Dolphins and a Whale
To see the baby dolphins, go to Championship, Normal, then Warm Up. Now follow the dolphin three times around the course as best as possible. If you follow him correctly he will jump over the Bridge after the Dolphin Park sign. It's important that you do what the dolphin does, so if it does a barrel roll as it clear the jumps, then do barrel rolls; if it does flips, then do flips, etc. The dolphin seems to randomly make a choice as to which trick (if any) it performs each time you turn on the machine, so if you aren't good at the tricks, keep restarting machine until he's just clearing the jumps. To see the killer whale, repeat this trick 30 times without a mistake. Good luck!Big Dolphin
To view the big dolphin, you must go to Championship, Normal, then Warm Up. If you do this 20 times consecutively you will see a larger dolphin in Dolphin Park.Change Colors
While selecting your jetski, highlight any character and hold Up on the analog stick. Continue to hold until your character and jetski change color.Dive Under Water
As you start up ramp, press and hold Down. As soon as you clear the ramp, press and hold Up to dive under water. Hint: This works best with wild waves. It just slows you down with calm waves.Dolphin Ride
Select Stunt Mode mode and enter Dolphin Park. Next go through all the rings and perform the following tricks:- Handstand
- Backwards spin
- Stand with backflip
- Single backflip off ramp
- Dive off ramp
- Barrel roll off ramp in both directions
Double Flip
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. Hint: J.Meter is the best racer to do this with; especially on the small ramps.Double Side Flip
This stunt can earn you over 2000 points if done properly. Head straight at a ramp and gain as much speed as possible. Then about an inch from the top of the ramp push the joystick in the up/diagonal position and then pull down and hold. If your timing was right you'll do a side flip, then a back flip and land perfectly. Note: J. Meter is the best one to do this with.Easy Points
Press Start as soon as you complete a stunt. If done correctly all sounds should stop except for the announcer. You want to pause the game as soon as the announcer starts talking after you do a stunt. If done correctly, you can get up to 30,000 points on a level! Addendum: For even more points, cross the finish line at 0 time. This will push your score even higher!Flip / Barrel Roll Combo
Simply do a barrel roll while going off a ramp at incredibly high speed. The combination effect is very nice and gives you plenty of points. If you can't get it right, play with the timing a little, that's where the REAL skill comes in.Hand Stand
To do a hand stand, simply press down then up quickly, then press up again but this time HOLD it. You should do a hand stand!Helicopter Trick
Get up as much speed as possible and head for a ramp. As you reach the peak of the ramp, press the control stick Down and Left or Down and Right.Quick Start
To get a very quick start, tap the accelerator during every beep, if you do this correctly you add 3 lights to your power meter and you are already on your bike when the announcer says go!Quicker start after crash
If you crash during your race, instead of waiting for your racer to get up on the jet ski, tap the A button repeatedly. This will help you get up going faster and get on your ski faster.Reverse Courses
If you win the gold cup on Expert, you get a Reverse option. Unlike Mario Kart 64 where the tracks are only "mirrored", in WaveRace 64 you can actually run the courses in their opposite direction.Ride Backwards
To ride backwards, rotate the joystick clockwise and quickly press and hold Down.Start With Max Power
At the start of the race, press the Accelerate button immediately before the third beep.Three Flips In Glacier Coast
To do 3+ flips in Glacier Coast on stunt mode, simply go to the big patch of ice just after the long narrow pass and do the double side flip. You will need to hold "Down" on the D-Pad to do numerous flips. As soon as you dismount the patch of ice your score will show. Hint: Works best with J. Meter. After a few flips he (or she) will start to do a sort-of nose-dive down into the ice. If this happens you are screwed but it shouldn't do that if you only do 4 or 5 flips. Rack up the POINTS!Turbo Charge
For a faster jetski, hold the gas button immediately before the announcer says "Go!" The closer you are to the announcement, the faster your jetski will go.
