How it plays
How does Wipeout 64 play?
Races are viewed from behind the craft as players steer anti-gravity vehicles around enclosed tracks. The objective is to finish ahead of rival teams while managing speed, corners, hazards, and weapon pickups.
Single-player events progress through cups and track challenges, while multiplayer supports competitive races. Craft selection affects handling characteristics, and successful races open additional content and higher difficulty.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Wipeout 64?
Brake before tight corners rather than entering them at maximum speed. Use airbrakes and steering together to correct the craft during sharp turns.
Save offensive weapons for clear attack opportunities, and use defensive items when approaching crowded sections or difficult hazards. Learn each track’s safest racing line before relying on boost.
