Hydro Thunder/Hydro Speedway

Hydro Speedway bears a number of similarities to Thunder Park - in appearance, it's a circuit and the hidden 9 second boost. Look just ahead of you on the start line's long straight and you will see a boat hanging. Jump at the boat and you will find a 9 second boost. At the end of the start-finish straight the track heads right onto another long straight which narrows towards the end. Just before it narrows is a 4 second boost and just after it turns right. On this inside of this right hander is a 9 second boost which leads you on a short straight before turning left onto another short straight and then a right again. This right also has a boost on the inside albeit a 4 seconder. A slighter longer straight follows before another right hander and another short straight. On this straight, in the middle, is a 4 second boost hanging mid-air.

By the time you land this from the boost the track takes a mirrored split which you are blocked from jumping the middle of. In both directions you find a curve out and back to what would otherwise have been a straight run. On the way back in there is a ramp with a 4 second boost sitting there. Try to take the turn on the inside and head diagonally across the ramp as the track then performs another similar split but this time your jump off the ramp can take you straight across the middle of the island if aimed correctly. As the two sides join again a 4 second boost is drifting side to side across the track in front of a tunnel. Head through the tunnel and take the right turn at the end back onto the start-finish line. Before the finish line is a ramp on the left with a 4 second.

Not a difficult track to understand but can be a tad frustrating getting that first place until you are used to it.
