Splashdown is a water racing game developed by Rainbow Studios, released in 2001 for the PlayStation 2 and Xbox. Players pilot personal watercraft across a variety of courses, competing either solo or against a second player in local two-player mode. The gameplay draws clear comparisons to Nintendo's Wave Race series, emphasizing arcade-style aquatic racing. A notable mechanical element requires racers to pass buoys on the correct side — failing to do so results in penalties such as the craft stalling or the rider being struck by a whale's tail. The combination of course variety and buoy navigation rules gives the racing structure a layer of precision beyond simply finishing first, rewarding players who learn each track's correct routing rather than cutting corners indiscriminately.
