The Gameplay differs from that of a traditional racing game with Car s, as players instead control hoverbikes which hover very closely over the ground and can be driven over both land and water. Most of the courses in the games are designed to take advantage of this ability. Bikes are adorned with Logo s of products such as Mountain Dew and Slim Jim , similar to real-life sponsored racing. The ''Jet Moto'' series utilize a system called the Magnetic Grapple. Pressing an assigned button creates a magnetic attraction between the player's bike and red energy poles that are placed strategically throughout the courses. This enables the bike to swing around tight turns without slowing down, and also to swing over large gaps and chasms otherwise too large to drive over. If executed properly, bikes can also be propelled out of tight turns at a faster speed than when entered. ''Jet Moto'' is notable for introducing suicide courses. Instead of being a continuous loop, these tracks have a point A and point B. Racers start at point A, race to point B, turn around, then race back to point A while facing oncoming racers. Traditional tracks are also included, and typical courses range from canyons with rivers running through them, cities devastated by earthquakes, and even volcanos. ''Jet Moto'' ( 1996 ) and ''Jet Moto 2'' ( 1997 ) were developed by SingleTrac , known mostly for '' Twisted Metal '' and ''Twisted Metal 2''. SingleTrac then left Sony , the publisher of the series, and ''Jet Moto 3'' ( 1999 ) was developed by Pacific Coast Power & Light in their absence. Former employees of SingleTrac later left to form Incognito Entertainment and signed again with Sony, sparking rumors of a fourth ''Jet Moto'' game being developed by Incognito because of this. However, such a game has yet to surface. LIST OF CHARACTERS Jet Moto , in its three games have had a total of thirty-two characters. They are listed below in order of appearance.
