Showboating '98 is a rhythm game based on the boat aura farming meme.  You have been imbued with the power of aura, and your dance moves can propel the boat forward.  Go head to head to head in a boat race and get your timing right to win!

Controls

Left/A/Z - Left Hand

Down/S/X - Middle hand

Right/D/C - Right hand

If you hit on the beat your aura bar will fill up.  A perfect hit fills up twice as fast.  When it is full you get an aura blast which boosts your speed massively.

Note: The audio sync is not quite as good in the web version, so the web version is more forgiving and has the metronome to let you know what the game "thinks" the tempo is.  In the desktop build the timing is more precise and the aid of the metronome is not present.
