40 free Jet Moto trivia questions with answers — trivia quiz, new questions added Oct 2026.
Jet Moto gave the original PlayStation a racing series unlike anything else on the console: packs of riders on hovering bikes that skim across beaches, swamps and frozen peaks, each one wearing the logo of a real-world sponsor. Its riders came with nicknames, rivalries and tongue-in-cheek bios, and fans still remember them decades later. This quiz covers the characters first: where the nicknames come from, what the bios say and which brands back the teams. It also takes in the tracks, the quirks of the handling, the studios behind the games and the sequels that were cancelled before release. It is written for anyone who spent the late 1990s wrestling one of these bikes around a hairpin, and for retro racing fans who want to see how much of the series they remember.

Q 01At release, the first Jet Moto was seen as Sony's answer to which rival Nintendo racer?

Wave Race 64 was the yardstick critics reached for, though one magazine called the comparison unfair because no real jet moto exists to judge the handling against.
Q 02Which soft drink brand has its logo on rider bikes in all three released Jet Moto games?
Mountain Dew
Mountain Dew stayed on the bikes from 1996 to 1999 while other sponsors came and went, part of the series' nod to real sponsored racing.
Q 03The first Jet Moto was conceived by its developers as a science fiction take on which motorsport?

Magnetic grapple
Magnetic grapple poles also let riders swing across gaps and chasms that are too wide to ride over.

Twisted Metal 2
Twisted Metal 2 came from the same studio at roughly the same time, which is how a Jet Moto course ended up hidden inside it.

Molasses
Molasses was the image both Next Generation and GamePro chose, because the controls and unusual physics were the game's most criticized feature.
