''Rapid Racer'' (known as ''Turbo Prop Racing'' in America) is a powerboat racing game developed by Team Soho, published by Creator/SonyComputerEntertainment, and released for the original UsefulNotes/PlayStation in 1997 (1998 in North America and Japan). It features six courses: Golden Sands in Miami, Wild Water Canyon in Arizona, Glacier Bay in Alaska, Bear Lake in Canada, Lost Valley in Costa Rica, and the fictitious Lava Trail in Hawaii (the only course where the boats raced on lava instead of water). In addition to those six tracks, there was also a random level generator.

''Rapid Racer'' (known as ''Turbo Prop Racing'' in America) is a powerboat racing game developed by Sony's London studio, and released for the Sony UsefulNotes/PlayStation 1 in 1997 (1998 in other regions). It features six courses: Golden Sands in Miami, Wild Water Canyon in Arizona, Glacier Bay in Alaska, Bear Lake in Canada, Lost Valley in Costa Rica, and the fictitious Lava Trail in Hawaii (the only course where the boats raced on lava instead of water). In addition to those six tracks, there was also a random level generator. These could theoretically generate thousands of tracks, though the simple visuals to the tracks it generated undermined this amazing-sounding feature.
''Rapid Racer'' was one of the first Playstation games to take full advantage of the then-new Dual Shock controller, as it allowed for both analog controls and vibrations. It also ran at 60 frames per second, a relative rarity for the [=PS1=]. That said, the fast speeds mean that the environments typically lacked great detail. Still, for its time, the graphics were quite impressive.
The soundtrack for the UK version of the game was by Music/Apollo440. When it was imported to the U.S., their soundtrack was thrown out and replaced by music from Loudmouth.

* BonusStage: If you collect five yellow orbs during a race, you get a bonus round where, if you complete it, you can upgrade your boat.

* FanserviceExtra: One of the ending [=FMVs=] briefly feature some swimsuit-clad babes on the beach.
* LethalLavaLand: Lava Trail, though in an aversion, the lava doesn't hurt you. Actually, its distinct look arguably makes Lava Trail the highlight of the game.
* NitroBoost: You can drive over green orbs, which give you turbos. However, avoid the red orbs, because they take turbos away (and three of them in a row temporarily slow you down).
* RampJump: There's a big one at the end of the Lava Trail track.
