Hydro Thunder/YMMV


 * Nightmare Fuel:.
 * New York Disaster. See Harsher in Hindsight below.
 * Awesome Music: A unique case regarding that unlike most racing games (and pretty much any 90s game in general) is that instead of the standard techno or metal/rock soundtrack, the game has an orchestral/rock soundtrack. It really comes to head in Venice Canals, with the intense, operatic score to go with the pace of racing at high-speeds through the old City of Canals.
 * Funny Moments: !
 * Also, smashing into various obstacles (like civilian boats, penguins, monkeys, the police chasing you, etc...) well send them flying and playing some kind of goofy sound effect.
 * And VENICE CANALS.
 * How could you forget the Tarzan scream, Yee-haws, and the "Buckle up Reggie, This one's gonna hurt!" when you fall from a really high slope, waterfall, or structure?
 * "If you look carefully, you will see that the graphics are made up of thousands ot little triangles." (ooohhh)
 * Hurricane has plenty, including the announcer using the "I Can See My House From Here" line, some random Announcer Chatter in the Area 51 level, and
 * Harsher in Hindsight: The New York Disaster stage, in a game that was released two years before the 9/11 attacks.
 * Moment of Awesome: Lake Powell is all about this. There's a huge ramp in near the start that allows you to fly over a few rock formations, and then there's the part where you can use the back of the dam towards the end to fly over a helicopter and passing train...
 * P.S.: For added fun, hit the helicopter... AND the train.
 * You and everyone else manage to inadvertently rescue a stranded ship by leading rescuers to it.
 * Porting Disaster: Very much subverted, as this was a game of the mid-late 90s, so the arcade version was somewhat inferior in the case that on the console version, you'd have a better chance to play the bonus stages and race the bonus boats.
 * Scrappy Level: Ship Graveyard and Venice Canals, mostly because of all the sharp turns and most boost powerups are hidden.
