2. M O D E S O F P L A Y
======================================================================
-------------------------------
2.1 - Free Ride
-------------------------------
Manual Description:
These sloped courses feature a variety of obstacles and numerous
checkpoints, where extra time can be earned by performing tricks.
Make sure your boarder makes it to the goal within the allotted time,
or you're a loser!
-------------------------------
2.2 - Super Pipe
-------------------------------
Manual Description:
Bust multiple tricks and catch tons of air in this gnarly halfpipe
mode. Make sure your boarder makes it to the finish line at the end
of the course within the allotted time and then watch as the total
performance results are displayed. In addition to the points acquired
along the way, the overall evaluation also includes the content and
the form of the tricks performed.
-------------------------------
2.3 - Match Race
-------------------------------
-----------------
2.3.1 - Battle
-----------------
Manual Description:
Compete against your favorite rival using this novel racing mode
where trick expertise is key. By busting tricks you can earn attacking
power or extra thrust, both of which can have more effect on the race
outcome than mere speed.
----
2.3.1.1 - Line Versus
----
Manual Description:
A completely new and unique aspect to this mode is the ability to
win a match by using the split-screen to your advantage. Execute
tricks toeffect a "line attack" which will move the dividing line of
the split screen, shrinking your opponents screen, making their race
much harder. If done enough times, you can even shut them completely
out, and win.
----
2.3.1.2 - Trick Boost
----
Manual Description:
In this battle mode, use the Guard Button to give your boarder a
jet-boost that will propel them at super high velocity. However,
activating the speed boost requires "boost power points" which can
only be received by earning trick points at the trick areas.
-----------------
2.3.2 - Free Race
-----------------
Manual Description:
This mode is for those who prefer a pure and unadulterated race.
Select whether you want to compete in time, trick, or total.
You can even set a handicap, setting the handicap will give the
lagging boarder a bit of extra speed.

4.5 - Point system
-------------------------------
-All tricks are worth base value listed.
-In combos, the second trick is worth ABOUT one and a fourth of it's
base value(eg, an Indy's worth 125, instead of 100)
-..And the third trick is worth ABOUT one and a half of it's base
value (eg, an Indy's worth 150, instead of 100)
-Doing a combo 'Fakie' adds 20 points to the combo.
-Doing a spin 'B.Side' takes away 20 points from the spin.
-Holding a trick will get you a larger 'finish'.
-You cannot do the same trick twice in a row.
-Finish is graded on how complex the combo is, how long you hold
grabs, and how well you land.
-An example broken down:
I did a Fakie B.Side 540, with a Tail Grab, and Mute.
SCREEN SAYS BROKEN DOWN
Fakie 20 - - +20 for doing it Fakie.
Tail Grab 120 - - Tail Grab initial value of 120.
Mute 187 - - Mute(150) + 1/4th Mute Value(150/4 = 37)
B.Side 540 270 - - 180(110) + 180(90) + 180(90) - B.Side(20)
Finish 177 - - It just.. is...
-----------------
4.5.1 - Half-Pipe Grade Scoring
-----------------
The half-pipe courses are ranked in "Grade", and "Total".
Total is just the total number of points you get for doing tricks.
Grade is a ranking of how you did in various areas, these areas are;
-Standard
-Rotation
-Amplitude
-Landing
-Technical
-Standard is graded by how many standard tricks(basic grabs) you do.
-Rotation is graded by how many rotations you do(180+'s, Misty's, Flips).
-Amplitude is graded by how high you jump off the half-pipe.
-Landing is how well you land/how many times you land(don't fall!).
-Technical is graded by specialty moves, complex combos, etc.

6.1.1 - Mountain Review
-----------------
Manual Description:
Bone up on your skills with this slope-style practice level
course. Be sure to mind the sheep!
Jp's Description:
A run down a slope which changes scenery alot. A quick run
through an ordinary mountain town turns into a very ancient
looking town after a run-by with a train. And it ends with
a good set-up for a big jump passing by a highway, overlooking
a moderate-sized city, after a small run through a cave.
Trick Areas: 5
Shortcuts:
-None really, multiple paths, no secrets...
Other Things of Interest:
- Watch for the helicopter that gets smashed early on in the stage.
- The changing scenery is also noteworthy.
- Hitting sheep across the mountain is kinda fun...
- "You can land on the spectator bridge near the train trestle." - from
Githyanki79

6.1.2 - Emerald Forest
-----------------
Manual Description:
Complete Course 1 to ride this tree covered run. Avoid the
gullies and don't hurt the trees!
Jp's Description:
They like to change the situation of these runs a lot, apparently.
A small cross on a wooden bridge, leads through a small cave
into a beautiful forest, then another cave run leads to a cliff-run
with some ruins dotting the edges. You then go through an ancient
temple of some sorts, which while beautiful, seems kind of
unrealistic(And like a Misty 2520 isn't?).
Trick Areas: 5
Shortcuts:
- The 4th Trick Area is somewhat hidden. When you first enter
the temple, after the 3rd Trick area, the path splits, take
the path to the right, and it will lead to the 4th Trick Area.
- There are "Some hops you can take from ramp to ramp within the
cathedral" - from Joe Ses
Other Things of Interest:
- Watch out for the falling pillars right before you enter the
temple. Either ride up on the left, or hold the block button
to get through.
-----------------
6.1.3 - Urban Striker
-----------------
Manual Description:
Place in the top 3 for Course 2 to hit the big bad city in a
snowstorm. Don't broadslide the buildings!
Jp's Description:
A long run amongst a bunch of buildings, turns into a quick
run through a factory.
Trick Areas: 4
Shortcuts:
- "Once you are about halfway through the city it seems that
you can hit some flat rooftops on the right and take a different
route down." - from Joe Ses
- "When you first land [in the Factory], stay right and go through
the doorway at the top of the incline, jump at the end of the
catwalk to land below and cut outmost of the pipe stuff. Then
stay right again and jumpas the path drops off two times to land
right at the trick area jump off..." - from Joe Ses
- "Where the 2 cranes are swinging, go to the right, along the
wall, there is an opening, make 1 jump and it takes you to the
last trick area." - from Githyanki79
- "After the entrance to the play ground, there is a small alleyway.
Need to make 2 90 degree turns, but brings you to the trick area a
little faster." - from Githyanki79
Other Things of Interest:
- "If you jump onto the square below the clock tower, you will
hear loud bells start ringing(if you don't have it on perma mute
to silence that annoying guy) and they seem to keep ringing until
you get far enough away." - from Joe Ses
-----------------
6.1.4 - Cave Slider
-----------------
Manual Description:
Place in the top 3 for Course 3 to go underground on this
historical trek. Watch out for them bones!
Jp's Description:
An old, deserted city leads into a rather large cave, which
leads out onto an apparent glacier, and ends in front of a
factory. I hate this level...
Tricks Areas: 6
Shortcuts:
- The 3rd checkpoint is somewhat hidden. After the 2nd Trick Area,
instead of overshooting the road and boarding alongside it, follow
it, and you will come to it as the road ends.
- The 4th checkpoint is often missed, as well. In the cave, once you
pass the waterfall, stay on the top level of rock, and you will
come to it.
- "The best way to negotiate the entrance to the caves is to
jump just to the left of the first big green stalagmite and land
as far downhill as possible, without going too far to the left
and landing in the dark brown death zone." - from Joe Ses
- "Near the end of the glacier, you can jump just to the right
of 3 yellow signs across a chasm and land on the path below."
- from Joe Ses
Other Things of Interest:
- "At the end, it is possible not to fall down and break the ice....
if you jump at good angle to the side, you will land on top of
the ice and go to the finish line that is viewed at the check
point." - from Githyanki79
- You NEED the 3rd and 4th checkpoints to get through this level
with good scores. They are good areas to pull of Misty 360's and
the sort.
-----------------
6.1.5 - Dancing Devils
-----------------
Manual Description:
Place in the top 3 for TOTAL in Course 4 to board this radical
track with some freaky hairpin turns!
Jp's Description:
And you thought Cave Striker was bad? this one will take you
to the edge of multiple cliffs, throw boulders on you, throw
you into a cave with many chances to fall, and send a train
barreling after you.
Trick Areas: 6
Shortcuts:
- The 2nd Trick Area is somewhat hidden. After that first boulder
takes you out, stay on top, and make all the jumps, and, you'll
reach it.
- It's almost impossible to beat this course without outrunning
the train. It is possible, but, pretty hard.
- "At the first set of arrows, jump across the gorge and there
is a ledge that has shallower turns and takes you to the fencing
just before the falling boulders." - from Githyanki79
Other Things of Interest:
- umm...
-----------------
6.1.6 - Ending Course
-----------------
*No Manual Description.
Jp's Description:
The practice course from Cool Boarders 2, an interesting way to
roll the credits.
Trick Areas: 19
Shortcuts:
- No shortcuts, just, a straight downhill run with 19 jumps.
Other Things of Interest:
- It's the credits, it's cool, enjoy it!
-----------------
6.1.7 - Secret Force
-----------------
*No Manual Description
Jp's Description:
The SECRET level! Take a ride through Area 51! I'm getting sick of
this alien stuff in boarding/skating games...
Trick Areas: 6
Shortcuts:
- When the tunnel levels out, look for the signs on the cieling,
pointing right, GO RIGHT, or else you will fall... badly.
- Right after the underwater tunnel ends, and the tunnel splits
up, stay to the left, it's the shortest direct way out.
Other Things of Interest:
- The plane crash at the beginning is cool, watch out for the jeep
that comes racing out of the tunnel after the crash, though.
- When you reach the end, look at all the little flying saucers
darting around, kinda cool, eh?
-------------------------------
6.2 - SUPER PIPE
-------------------------------
-----------------
6.2.1 - Super Pipe
-----------------
Manual Description:
Compared with out previous halfpipes, this baby features a section
with an oversized lip that'll gurantee you'll catch some major air.
Jp's Description:
Just a halfpipe, a large one, with an oversized lip, yes, but,
still a halfpipe.
-----------------
6.2.2 - Extra Super Pipe
-----------------
Manual Description:
The design for this truly intense course was based on an Amusement
Park. Conquer this bad boy, and you'll be ready for anything!
However, to earn the right to ride this course, you'll have to place
in the top three rankings for the Super Pipe. Good Luck!
Jp's Description:
A WICKED halfpipe, massively long, lots of turns, and twists, and
variations. It will grow in height, drop down, just stop for a short
gap. This one is impressive, and tough to beat...

8.1 - Characters
-------------------------------
-There are 2 secret characters:
The Snowman, and Gray the Alien.
-You get the Snowman for beating the high score(i'm not sure if it's
time, trick, total, or all) in the ending course.
-You get Gray for just beating the Secret Force track.
-Unfortunately in the domestic version, there is no third secret
character, he is replaced with Jimmy(gee, aren't we lucky?).
-In Cool Boarders Burrrn(Japan version), instead of Jimmy, there's a
third secret character, Tightman. You get Tightman for beating the
total score in the Secret Force track.
-------------------------------
8.2 - Costumes
-------------------------------
-Every standard character has a third costume.
-Standard characters means Axel, Tia, Ronnie, Monica, DJ Ken, Bob, and
yes, Jimmy.
-Snowman and Gray do NOT have third costumes.
-To get a person's 3rd costume, you have to beat 5 levels in a row with
them. Any 5 levels(Starting at level 1), You have to use the same board
the whole time, and you can't quit or change.
-------------------------------
8.3 - Courses
-------------------------------
-Only the one I know of, The Secret Force.
-Get this by beating all of one of the score-types(trick/time/total) in
the 5 main tracks.
-------------------------------
8.4 - Boards
-------------------------------
-Each standard board has a second graphical version. I'm not sure how
to get them, though, just, go through the courses, and beat some
records, you'll get 'em.
-And there are the Special boards, which you get for beating all the
high scores in a score-type. Eg, to get the ALS, you'd have to beat
all of the Time records for the Freeride tracks.
-And the super-secret uber-board you get for beating the high score
in everything, everywhere.
-Jimmy has hidden boards, as well. Me and PufShePuf both got them in
various ways, I got them for beating various tracks in a certain
amount of time. Puf got them that way, and by beating the records in
other courses. Jimmy does NOT have second graphical versions of his
boards, and he does NOT have any uber-boards.
