Description
MTV Sports: Snowboarding is an extreme sports game where you have to perform tricks on your snowboard. You can opt to play with one of six different boarders, with each their own abilities. The game features five game modes: qualifying, challenge, create-a-park, head-to-head and training. The qualifying mode offers three levels where you have to score enough points to unlock the challenge mode, where you can challenge other boarders in trick events or races. The create-a-park mode allows you to create your own track to play on. head-to-head allows you to play a multiplayer match against a friend. The available tracks come in four general types: mountain X, big air contest, half-pipe and slopestyle.
MTV Sports: Snowboarding
Released in 1999 by BAM! Entertainment and developed by Radical Entertainment, MTV Sports: Snowboarding captures the rebellious, high-octane counter-culture of late-90s extreme sports. Designed with a fast-paced, arcade-style philosophy, the game eschews stiff simulation physics in favor of blistering downhill speeds, massive vertical leaps, and a licensed punk-and-hip-hop soundtrack featuring bands like Blink-182 and Cypress Hill. Players embark on a multi-stage global tour, fighting to progress from a raw novice to an international superstar across challenging courses in the United States, Japan, and Norway while securing lucrative virtual sponsorships.
Gameplay Features & Mechanics
The core gameplay centers on high-scoring trick runs, gate-based slalom races, and stunt-heavy halfpipe events across modes like Challenge and Boarder GP. Players choose from eight distinct riders, each rated in speed, carving, and jump height, or utilize the "Create-a-Boarder" feature. Success relies on executing complex aerial maneuvers. By building speed and pre-winding spins before launching off ramps, players pull off stylish grabs like the Indy, Method, and Melancholy, combining them with 180 to 1080-degree rotations. Chaining these tricks together fills the 'MTV Meter' to trigger massive signature moves. Landing smoothly is essential; crashing drains the timer and resets the score multiplier, while missing slalom gates adds time penalties.
