Though the game did not get a sequel during Midway's lifetime, it did spawn a loose series of arcade racing games focused on NitroBoost mechanics and stunts, made up of ''Offroad Thunder'', the UsefulNotes/SegaDreamcast exclusive ''4 Wheel Thunder'', and ''Arctic Thunder''.
A direct sequel called ''VideoGame/HydroThunderHurricane'' was released in July 2010 for the UsefulNotes/XboxLiveArcade. ''Hurricane'' was developed by Creator/VectorUnit, a new dev team formed by two people who worked on the "''VideoGame/TwistedMetal'' [[RecycledInSpace in the water]]" game ''VideoGame/BloodWake''. Meanwhile, the arcades got a SpiritualSuccessor called ''[[VideoGame/H2Overdrive H2Overdrive]]'' courtesy of [[Creator/EugeneJarvis Raw Thrills]] and Specular Interactive, which just happens to largely be the original ''Hydro Thunder'' development team.

* MisbegottenMultiplayerMode: While it's expected that many 5th gen era games would make some graphical sacrifices for high player counts, the Nintendo 64 port of the game takes it to a whole new level -- the view is forced into first person mode and the game runs noticeably much slower (ESPECIALLY notable during the starting line countdown, where there's a lot of space between each number) with 3 or 4 players, and this is already considering the fact it requires the Expansion Pak. Quite a shame, as this is the only way to play with 4 players on a home port.
