Let's Play Snowboard Kids 4 Player Split Screen Part 1 - Rookie Mountain & Big Snowman
35Let's Play Snowboard Kids Part 1 - Rookie Mountain and Big Snowman! GameFace is taking to some 4 Player Snowboard Kids Split Screen Competition in this classic N64 game!
Macks gives us a quick Snowboard Kids walkthrough so we know how to play the game. He teaches us the basics regarding offensive and defensive items, as well as buying items with coins, how the controls work, doing tricks, and other general gameplay mechanics.
My quickie Snowboard Kids review: It has a bit of a learning curve, but it's actually a pretty fun game! The music is really catchy and the level design make for some fun courses. There's quite a difficulty spike as the game goes on too! At first I thought the controls sucked, but then I realized you have to pretty much hold down and a direction when making a turn, much like you would have to push down your back foot on the board to make a turn when snowboarding. I like doing quick grabs while on a straight away too, but I often faceplant and acidentally do a flip.
Snowboard Kids is a snowboarding video game for the Nintendo 64. It was developed by Racdym and published by Atlus. Many reviewers compared its style to that of the Mario Kart series. An enhanced port, Snowboard Kids Plus, was released in Japan only in January 1999 for the original PlayStation console.
In addition to the usual gameplay of a snowboarding game, Snowboard Kids adds "Shots" (special weapons used to attack players) and items which can help the player, hinder other players, or both.
There are nine main courses. Although some of the courses are snowy mountains, many are courses that would be unorthodox for snowboarding in the real world. Such courses include an amusement park, a desert, a vast valley, a dark highway, and a Japanese village during the cherry blossom festival. Only the first three courses are available on Speed and Shoot games. These are the available courses:
Rookie Mt
Big Snowman
Sunset Rock
Night Highway
Grass Valley
Dizzy Land
Quicksand Valley
Silver Mt.
Ninja Land
Animal Land
Snowboard Kids used a second item slot, allowing each player to carry a shooting item and support item (such as a rock, or invisibility) at the same time. Unlike many other 'Kart style' racing games, players were required to pay 100 gold in order to collect an item during a race. Gold could be obtained either through performing tricks or collecting coins scattered across the course. All courses also required players to race down the hill for multiple laps. Once a player had reached the bottom of the hill, he or she would need to pass through the lift gate to be transported back to the top of the hill, and could not be attacked by other players in this transition.
Snowboard Kids features six playable characters: Slash, Nancy, Jam, Linda, Tommy, and Shinobin, the later being the only unlockable character in the game, becoming available after the player completes all nine tracks. The characters have three aspects which affect their racing style: speed, which determines the straight line speed of the character; corner, which determines how quickly the character is able to turn; and trick, which determines the speed at which tricks are executed to earn the player coins.
