Despite its limitations, Wave Race on the Game Boy offers a surprising amount of fun. The jet ski handling is intuitive, the races are challenging, and the soundtrack is catchy. The overhead perspective keeps the action clear, and the impressive water effects add a layer of visual appeal. While it might not be the most feature-rich racer, Wave Race is a solid portable title that shines in multiplayer, especially for those with fond memories of the early days of jet ski video games.
