Gameplay

Like Top Skater, the Sega Water Ski machines use a foot controller, and the gameplay is also similar. The cabinet design was also similar to Top Skater. The gameplay focuses more on doing stunts on ramps under a time limit.

Rarity

Sega Water Ski is a rather rare Sega arcade game, like The Ocean Hunter and Sega Ski Super G are. Despite being rare, the game sold a lot of units worldwide.

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.[3]

Reception

In Japan, Game Machine listed Sega Water Ski on their November 1, 1997 issue as being the seventh most-successful dedicated arcade game of the month.[4]
