 This is one of the most fun racing games I've ever even played!! August 22, 2007

The only racing game that comes to mind that is better is probably Burnout 2. But anyway,
the main characters are Nancy (Trick), Slash (Balance), Jam (Balance), Linda (Speed), Wendy (Trick) and Tommy (Speed). Damian (Balance, I think), Mr. Dog (Speed) and the blue bird, Coach (Trick) are the hidden characters.
It plays like your average racing games but you're on snowboards trying to race down the hills or slopes!
The levels are Sunny Mountain, Turtle Island (probably my favorite), Jingle Town, Wendy's House (my second favorite), Linda's Castle, Crazy Jungle, Starlight Highway, The Haunted House, Ice Land, Snowboard Street and X-Course.
Racing gets complicated when you throw in a bunch of items such as the Bomb, the parachute (SO annoying to get hit by), the block of ice and the idle rocks.
The boards are as follows:
Trick type: Slow but with good air and handling.
Balance: Well-balanced board. A bit faster than the trick board but air and handling isn't as good.
Speed: Fastest boards, but poor handling and tricks.
I usually pick Nancy or Coach. Even Jam sometimes. But I usually stick with the Trick boards.
Also, in story mode, after you beat the game's normal mode, you can start to unlock more boards. Some are pretty useless (Like the Poor board) but others aren't, like the Star board.
That's the best one I have so far.
This game isn't too bad playing by yourself - I've clocked in close to 30 hours alone, which is how I do most of my gaming. I've played with both of my younger cousins:
Savian wasn't too good but Kevin was a little and it was fun with him. But my favorite cousin, Nick hasn't played in a long time. He was fantastic, just like me. The only thing we need practice at is reflecting items back.
This game should enable you to have loads of fun with your N64. And if you don't have one, it's worth picking one up just to play this. Seriously!
Anyway, get this game. NOW.
4.3 stars.
PROS: Cute, lovable characters.
Fun for all ages.
Music is usually catchy.
Up to four players.
Colorful.
Somewhat difficult towards the end.
Addicting.
Graphics to this day (2007) don't look bad at all.
CONS: Facing the dragon seems quite impossible without getting a boost. I can never time it right.
May be too kiddy for older folks.
Not as fun alone, but will last for a while in the beginning.
The speed type characters SUCK! :)

This game just adds more to the fun of this series. I rember countless hours of fun my brother and I had playing this game, and the original. It is basically mario kart on snowboards. The game is extremely well balanced, and the weapons are lots of fun to use. This game is great for parties! I would suggest picking it up!
