Maybe it's my play style, but this game seems awfully fond of having a fast moving CPU crash into you as you're rounding the second last corner, knocking you off of the Jetski, and putting you in last place.
In general, this game seems awfully punishing for an arcade racer, all but the most minor accident is a major set back.

Anyway, I've finished the first circuit and am working on the second. The difficulty increase is sharp, with both the CPUs and Tracks being much more unforgiving. I only missed a couple buoys my whole time with the first circuit, and was easily able to come first on most of the races. Second Circuit made me relearn how to control the Jetski, just to avoid constantly getting DQed for missing buoys. That kind of thing is pretty satisfying, so I quite like the increase in track difficulty now that I'm used to it. The CPUs slamming into you on the last lap is bullshit though,

Does that count? Due to the way that the game is structured knowing the tracks is important for doing well, and you can do all but the last track in any order so you can practice them all without doing the first one over and over. However, the last the track is kept secret, so that third place was the first time I saw Hardwater Keep. Needless to say I bombed it, but still had enough points to squeak by.

Now that I've unlocked it for time trials, I expect I can get it worked out with a little practice. Haven't given up on 1st in expert yet.

Got 2nd on Expert, and I'm out of patience for this game. It's really solid, but the amount your set back by when a CPU crashes into you makes it too inconsistent. I was off by 2 points which is frustrating, especially thinking back and realizing how many times an ill timed ram had cost me at least two points. I may come back to it, I may not, but the credits have rolled a couple times now, so I'll call that done.
