MrSmartGuy 01/29/21 2:56:39 PM #302:	EXXXXTREEEEEME BLOCK (more cont.) #37 - Snowboard Kids 2 (N64, 1999) God this game rules. I really enjoyed Snowboard Kids 1. Out of nowhere, here came this new series that was basically a kart racer in disguise, but you did tricks off ramps to get coins to spend on item boxes and weapons. It was ingenious. It had some good variety in the courses and characters, and was a blast to play with friends. But it wasnt until Snowboard Kids 2 until I realized the potential this series could have. Flips were made much quicker, leading to more technical tricks. The levels were cranked up to 11. You say the first game had a night course and an amusement park? Fuck it, this game has you snowboarding in space. You want more? How about they go back in time and race a velociraptor. Oh, thats still not enough for you? What if the kids all get blasted by a shrink ray and then have to race over a piano and through the sink over dirty dishes as they blast through one characters house? And every character has their own outfits for all the different, weird courses. Like, they all have Halloween costumes for the haunted house race. That first picture I posted shows Slash in his space suit. There was no real need for them to go that far, but they did, and its that level of polish that made me really love this game. And that wasnt enough. Apparently, at some point, they were like hey, why dont we put some boss fights in our kart racer? At one point, you have to shoot bombs at a fuckin snowman tank. Then you have to fight whatever the hell this demon robot is. I have no recollection of what BK is. Is he sponsored by Burger King? Fuck if I know.... BUT REALLY WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS GAME IT WAS SO AHEAD OF ITS TIME And the music is just mwah (pretend I did like a chef kiss). I still go back and listen to this games soundtrack every now and then. Sunny Mountain, Wendys House, and Hurry! Hurry! are some sick jams. And the first 40 seconds of Lindas Castle give me goosebumps. Maybe my favorite 40 seconds of video game music ever, and Im not even exaggerating. I never learned even the basics of playing the piano, but I remember sitting in my room with an old Casio keyboard teaching myself how to play the ending credits song. God I have a ton of memories of this game. I dont think Ive played it in over a decade, and now I really want to. I hope I still have my copy, cuz they sure aint cheap nowadays. --- Xbox GT/PSN name/Nintendo ID: TatteredUniform http://www.scuffletown.org/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/tRBE1.gif <cite>MrSmartGuy posted [p:950059129] in The Board ...
