If you like racing games and would enjoy a little more than just sticking to the track the whole time, this game might be for you. Snowboard kids has all the elements of a traditional racing game - several tracks, different characters and boards to choose from - but instead of just competing against other players by speed and technique alone, you are able to pick up items along the course of each race and use them to slow down your opponent. There are two different kinds of items you can aquire during the races. You can ride into a blue box and use items like the ghost, which slows down whoever is in first place; rocks, that trip people behind you; a fan, which makes you go faster than your opponent for a period of time; and my personal favorite, some kind of large flat splatter thing that flattens your opponent for a few seconds while you are able to whiz on by; among others. If you ride into a pink box you can pick up different shooting devices. You shoot these at your opponent in front of you to slow them down. My favorite is the parachute shot, which hits your opponent and sends them into the air for awhile until they fall to the ground with the parachute. Others freeze your opponent, blow them up into a fireball, make them do a tumble, and there is even one that turns your opponent into a snowman for a period of time, denying them ability to control themselves and making them smash into walls or go off course. All of the courses are cute and fantastic and so are the characters. Each course has its own music and each character has its own expressions that it says throughout the race. If you hit something or somebody or do a trick each character has its own things it says. All the courses have jumps where you can do tricks to earn points. These points, along with the coins you can pick up during a race, allow you to "purchase" the items mentioned above and whatever is left you get to take with you to buy new models of boards. Each character does their own tricks by doing a combination of joystick moves while holding down the A button. You also get a certain amount of coin at the finish of a race for whatever place you get. First, second and third place all get cash prizes, but fourth place doesn't get any prizes and if you get fourth place you aren't allowed to keep any of your money you earned during the race. Besides the races there are also trick games you can play, shot games, and speed games. For those who are crazy about racing, there are also timed races available where you can perfect your abilities and try to race for the best time. This is one of my favorite games to play for its all around satisfaction. It is hard to get tired of playing it, unlike several other games. I highly recommend it and I'm sure you will enjoy it.Read full review
The game is a classic on the N64. It never was really popular but it still has a decent fan base. I loved the game growing up and wanted it again. I also bought it as a birthday gift for my sister. The game itself is race inspired, where players compete for first place. During the course of the race, one can use weapons, use power-ups, and perform tricks. It has a bunch of fun levels, including some unique ones like a Haunted House level, and underwater level, a jungle level, and a space level. The game has 6 original character and 3 unlockable ones. Most of the levels also have shortcuts that help you win easier (or lose easier in some cases). There are also 18 snowboards to choose from, 9 regular and 9 special/hidden. The characters, levels, and specialized snowboards are gradually unlocked as one completes the story mode. There are also 2 mini games, one in which you deliver newspapers and another that is a trick competition. However, the best part of the game is the ability to use weapons and power-ups. The weapons all have 3 "shots" and some include shooting out whirlwinds, bombs, parachutes, and snowmen. Most weapons have to be properly aimed and just hit the other players, often sending them flying in the air so that you can pass them. The snowmen weapon is probably the best to use, because your target turns into a snowman for a little period of time, slowing down, and losing the ability to turn. Some of the power-ups include a speed fan, a rocket boost, invisibility, wings, and huge pans that fall on all players except you. All in all the game has a very unique base of weapons and it makes for an excellent playing experience. I would recommend the game to anyone, for any age. A very simple, fun, competitive game that makes you want to learn how to snowboard and wish you lived in this game’s fictional town.Read full review
Item was exactly as expected. Would have preferred a specific photo of the cartridge but the functionality was the most important part. Cartridge booted exactly as expected and game played great.

I love this game so much, and usually I'm not one for sports or racing games. I don't even like Mario kart very much. I don't know what it is. Maybe it's nostalgia talking, but this game is simply magical. It has great, fun courses and music that fits well with them. The characters are fun, the boards are nice. It's just a very good game, altogether. The game has plenty of replay value. You get rewarded for every first place you get on a course and eventually can unlock new boards and courses. Also, every character and board combination is a different experience. For instance, putting Tommy, the fastest and hardest character to control, on the fastest board that's also difficult to control...that's a very different experience than putting Nancy, the slowest but easiest character to control on the fastest board. There's also a board you can unlock later in the game that is labeled as "useless" but it's very entertaining to try and master the controls on that board. I definitely recommend this to everyone!Read full review
This game is great. It entertains you and your opponents for hours. It has multiple game play(levels & tracks) as well as mutliple players that can play at the same time. It allows the winners to use there prize monies to get board upgrades additionally it allows the player the flexiblity to choose colors and sizes of the boards that the Kids ride. All an all this is a great action game. If you are a gammer and have an older Ninetendo system this is a game you don't want to miss.
