Arcade racing with land-and-water hoverbikes
The briefing
Jet Moto is an arcade racing game developed by Singletrac and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. Released on October 31, 1996, it puts players in control of hoverbikes that skim close to the ground and can race across both land and water.
Courses are designed around the hoverbikes' ability to travel over different surfaces. Alongside traditional road-style circuits, the game introduces suicide courses: tracks with checkpoints at opposite ends and a starting grid in the center. Racers travel back and forth between the checkpoints, creating situations where they may need to navigate oncoming traffic.
Characters are divided into teams, and the bikes feature product logos such as Mountain Dew and Butterfinger, reflecting sponsored racing.
