	Video games - Snowboard Kids 2

Snowboard Kids 2 was the second game in the Snowboard Kids series. Although it was never released in the United Kingdom, it can be imported. It features the same characters as the first game, but with some new faces: Wendy, Damien, Mr. Dog, and Coach. The game supports up to 4 simultaneous players. Unlike the original Snowboard Kids, you don't need a Controller Pak to save game data; it saves right on the Game Pak.

CHARACTERS

Slash Kamei

Age 10

Slash is the most balanced character in the game with average stats on speed, turning and jumps. He is seen throughout the game to be mischievous and is usually shown alongside Jam annoying the girls.

Nancy Neil

Age 10

Nancy is very good at turning and jumps but is very slow and so is often used for the courses with harder turns or stunt mode. On the story mode she is seen to be passive and seems unaffected by the constant fighting between Slash, Jam and Linda.

Jam Kuehnemund

Age 10

Jam is another balanced character similar to Slash. As well as snowboarding he is also seen breakdancing. He is usually seen with Slash causing havoc or taunting Linda.

Linda Maltinie

Age 11

Linda is the second fastest of the non-secret characters but has slightly lacking turning and jump stats. She is often shown in the games story to be snobby, irritable and very competitive, because of this she is frequently a target of Slash and Jam's combined taunting.

Tommy Parsy

Age 10

Tommy is fastest of the non-secret bunch but is also very poor at turning and jumping due to his excessive size. His role in the story is often very quiet and reserved and at times clumsy.

Wendy Lane

Age unknown

Wendy is a new addition to the snowboard kids series and is similar to Nancy but has even more focus on jumps and turning and less focus on speed. She is a specialist character used mainly for stunt mode, on the story she is shown as an inventor making a spaceship and shrink ray.

Damien

Age unknown

Damien is the best of the balanced characters and is unlocked after beating him in story mode. Throughout the story he is constantly trying to interfere with the other kids games or activities but his plans fail (usually comically) and is often caught in the crossfire of the others arguments.

Coach

Age unknown

The best character for stunts but also the slowest in the game.

Mr. Dog

Age unknown

The fastest character in the game but has trouble navigating simple turns or jumping trivial gaps in the course. He is the owner of the shop in both games.

Boards

There are three sets of boards that you have to use during normal mode, Balance, Trick, and Speed, with three levels each. You get the v1 of each set at the beginning of the game. During the game you can buy upgrades for each of the sets, each upgrade increases the speed of the board.

Balance Boards

Balance Boards are, as the name suggests, balanced in stats. All three levels have Turn and Jump at a solid 4 and L1 has speed at 3 and each level it goes up by 2 points.
