"You are a great Wave Racer"

And all was at peace.

Wasn't sure if I was gonna play this for very long and ended up "mastering" it or at least beating every championship and in-game record. Still have a good while to go until I truly master the game and all of it's mysterious (yet perfectly straight-forward) ways but the journey up to here has been just wonderful. Setting aside how pissed off I'd get at those AI cheating fucks in Championship mode (why did no one tell me time trials is where it's at?), I don't think I've ever had this much fun with a racer of any kind. Once you get the controls down it takes off. Helps that it has some of the best vibes & colors the 64 has to offer (the water here is just insane). Of everything they've added to Nintendo Switch Online so far I was not expecting to be so grateful for this one and it's just so cool at how well this holds up almost 30 years later.
