Hurricane continues the Thunder series tradition of hidden shortcuts and alternate routes in courses. Once transformed, players can use acquired boost to increase the speed of the boat temporarily, or to jump over obstacles. As with Hydro Thunder, players can collect boost powerups throughout a course which physically transform the boat into a more aggressive-looking form. The primary mode of gameplay involves a sixteen competitor race to the finish line. Gameplay involves players selecting one of nine boats to race through one of eight courses. Hydro Thunder Hurricane is an arcade-style boat racing game, and the sequel to Hydro Thunder. Hydro Thunder Hurricane includes game modes new to the Thunder series, including Ring Master, where the player must navigate through a set of rings on the course as fast as possible.
