Wave Race 64 - Characters

Characters

Wave Race 64 has four characters:

• Ryota Hayami (18 years old, Japan): the most balanced character, Ryota can be used by beginners and experts alike.
• Ayumi Stewart (21 years old, USA): the only female character, Ayumi is the skinniest and slowest character, but has the best handling and acceleration. She is recommended for beginners.
• Miles Jeter (24 years old, Canada): the only character who was later absent in Blue Storm, Miles has the quickest steering responding and worst grip, but is average in all other categories. He is recommended for intermediate to expert players. His skills are especially very useful in the stunt mode thanks to his quick responding controls and tight cornering.
• Dave Mariner (32 years old, USA): the fattest and fastest character, Dave has poor handling, grip, and acceleration, is recommended for advanced players. He can also take harder bumps without wrecking.

Every character's categories may be customized before starting the race. However, this will only change the skills of the character in a limited tolerance. For example, even setting Dave Mariner to maximum control will not result to an equal controlling experience as with Miles Jeter.
