Gameplay

Like Top Skater , the Sega Water Ski machines use a foot controller. The cabinet design was also similar to Top Skater.[ citation needed ] Players can move the foot control pads left and right to control direction, and perform jumps by lifting their heels. [3] The gameplay focuses more on doing stunts on ramps under a time limit.

Official soundtrack

A soundtrack containing music from this game and Motor Raid was released on January 21, 1998 by Marvelous Entertainment. T's Music assisted on the audio production. [4]
