Quite a shame, as this is the only way to play with 4 players on a home port. Misbegotten Multiplayer Mode: While it's expected that many 5th gen era games would make some graphical sacrifices for high player counts, the Nintendo 64 port of the game takes it to a whole new level - the view is forced into first person mode and the game runs noticeably much slower (ESPECIALLY notable during the starting line countdown, where there's a lot of space between each number) with 3 or 4 players, and this is already considering the fact it requires the Expansion Pak.Knockback: While your boat is boosting, it will flash to indicate that colliding with other boats will violently shove them out of the way.Guy in Back: Your boat has an on-board navigator, much like real-life high speed boat racing, who occasionally makes comments over the radio as you race.Gave Us Wi-Fi: The Rad Hazard boat seems to embody this trope, having been made from a crashed UFO. Cool Boat: Pretty much all of them, but Cutthroat (a boat with a skull on it that has glowing eyes and partially made from Fighter Jet parts), Cutthroat's Easy and Medium equivalents, Miss Behave and Banshee (also made with Fighter Jet Parts and powered by jet engines), Rad Hazard (a boat built from alien tech from Area 51), and Razorback (a Super Prototype that's notoriously hard to control) qualify the most.

The Far East and the Greek Isles also count. City of Canals: You get to race in VENICE.Oddly, there's one part of the stage where you're clearly racing through a badly beaten World Trade Center.Big Applesauce: Sort of, considering the place is flooded after a meteorite struck it.Supposedly where Rad Hazard's parts were taken from.

Area 51: Where one race in Hurricane takes place, complete with a warp to an alien world and back.The Lost Island Tour Cruise has the tour guide simply calmly talk about the highly-illegal boat race going on around them.
