Jet Moto , released on PlayStation in October 1996, is an arcade-like racing game where you control your hoverbike against 19 other competitors in a chaotic, free-flying race across various tracks to reach the finish line. In this futuristic world, you must use your wits and driving skills to overtake opponents and emerge victorious.
The gameplay in Jet Moto is fast-paced and action-packed, with multiple tracks featuring steep jumps, sharp turns, and treacherous obstacles. As you speed through the tracks, you'll need to avoid collisions with other bikes and the environment, all while maintaining your speed and control to stay ahead of the pack.

How to Play
Main Menu
The Main Menu offers four options. To select an option, D-Pad left/right to highlight the option, and then press (X).
One Player
Pick up Controller I and get ready to hold your own in grueling 20-rider races.
Head-to-Head
Both Controllers are activated so you and a friend can go up against each other on a split screen.
Once you enter the area, you can choose between a horizontal split screen and a vertical split screen by pausing the race and toggling the switch. Some tracks favor the vertical split view, and some tracks favor the horizontal split. Try them both out and see which you like best.
Load Game
The Load Game screen displays all the saved Seasons and Custom Circuits. Seasons and Tournaments can only be saved between races, not mid-race. For instructions on saving Seasons and Tournaments, see page 13.
To load a saved game, D-Pad to highlight the desired game, and then press X.
Options
The Options screen allows you to customize the game to meet your preferences and skill level. We strongly advise that you ride at the Amateur Difficulty Level when you're learning the ropes. After that, go ahead and tackle the tracks at the higher levels.
To change an option, D-Pad up/down to highlight the option and left/right to change the option.
Difficulty
The three difficulty levels tell you how good the other riders are.
Laps Per Race
Run anything from two-lap sprints to six-lap endurance runs.
Turbo
If you wish to disable the Turbo booster on all the bikes, turn this option off.
Grapple
If you wish to disable the magnetic grapple on all the bikes, turn this option off.
Trophy Presenter
It's your blood, your sweat, your win...so you decide who's bringing you your trophy.
Bike HUD
HUD stands for "Heads Up Display," which is the panel on the bike that houses the meters and indicators. If you want to remove the HUD from the screen, turn this option OFF. See page 16 for further reference to the HUD.
Cinematic Camera
With this option on, you'll roll with the bike, leaning hard into the turns as the world tilts around you. For a more stable view, turn it off.
Stunt Race
The Stunt Race remains inactive until you accomplish the greatest feat in Jet Moto racing—winning a Full Season at the Professional level on all ten courses. Once you've achieved that feat, the Stunt Race option becomes active.
Make sure to save the winning season, as the Stunt Race option will be available when that season is loaded. With Stunt Race ON, your bike gains certain performance enhancements when you complete a daring stunt. No good stunt goes unrewarded. Some get speed, others get extra turbos, and still others get acceleration.
The remainder of the options may be selected using the button, which will take you to their additional sub-screens.
Keypad Configuration
Follow the on-screen instructions to select one of the additional keypad configurations.
Music and Sound
Move the sliders to adjust the Music, Sound Effects, and the Overall Volume.

The Bikes and Riders
The Jet Moto circuit consists of 20 different riders from four teams. Each rider has his or her own bike with its own special attributes. You can read about each rider and bike in the informative descriptions presented on the screen. These descriptions give you a good idea of what to expect when you select that rider and bike.
To change teams, D-Pad up/down.
To change riders, D-Pad left/right.
The four attribute curves offer a graphic analysis of the four performance categories.
Handling
Exactly what it sounds like. The better the handling, the more responsive a bike is. The lighter bikes are generally a little more agile and jumpy while heavier bikes are more stable and require a power-slide mentality.
Acceleration
Acceleration is rated from standing start to top speed. However, a bike's mass, lift, and handling may result in some unexpected advantages and weaknesses. Some bikes may have great jump off the line with no mid-range, others may start slow but really hop to top speed in a short time. Don't be afraid to experiment with the different bikes.
Mass
The mass, or weight, of a bike influences its overall stability and handling. The heavier bikes are less likely to throw you when you get rammed by another rider or run into an obstacle. By the same token, the heavier bikes can more easily unseat or otherwise knock other riders off course when you collide with them.
Lift
Lift rates the strength of the suspension field that supports the bike. Lift is felt most when you go off jumps and hit bumps. The stronger the lift, the more air you'll get off of the elements, especially if you pull back (D-pad down) as you take off the ramps. Usually you want to stay close to the ground, but if you know how to use them, bouncier bikes can give you some serious speed.
The Races
The four different options explained below offer a wide variety of race formats with which to develop and test your prowess as a Jet Moto stud.
Single Race
A Single Race is just that...a one-time competition for all the marbles.

Tips & Maps
Strategy
Jet Moto uses TruePhysics, meaning real-life physics apply. Harder surfaces are faster, softer surfaces are slower, and bike suspension reacts differently to each surface, affecting traction and grip.
Heavy Bikes
Heavy bikes are stable, massive, and good for plowing through waves and bumps. Take corners wider and use magnetic grapple to minimize hard turning.
Light Bikes
Light bikes are maneuverable, thrive in tight obstacle areas, and have high acceleration. They respond well to using jumps to their advantage.
Magnetic Grappling
This is the most important skill. The closer you are to the post, the faster you go, but releasing too late causes a crash. Start wide, get a feel for the range, and develop a knack for letting go at the right time while turning with the grapple.
Mass Advantage (Heavy Bikes)
Use a heavy bike's mass to smash light bikes.
Mass Advantage (Light Bikes)
Momentum is mass and velocity. If angled right and going fast enough, a light bike can unseat a heavy bike rider.
