Gameplay
Each challenge takes place on a course divided into 4 horizontal lanes with various obstacles positioned on each lane. When a ramp crosses more than one lane, you can turn and move to a higher or lower lane.
Depending on your speed and what kind of object you are in front of or traveling over, you can pull off a trick.
Flat Land
Accelerate, brake, change direction, or move at grind speed by using the Control Pad and Buttons. When you reach a suitable ramp, you will be allowed to turn up or down to a different lane.
Handrail
You can select from six different grinds if you are moving at grind speed in front of a handrail.
Fun Box
Use this ramp when riding fast to get some serious air for Street tricks. When traveling at grind speed, you can perform "roll-over" tricks.
Spine
This ramp doesn't give as much air as the Fun Box or Vert ramp. In addition to airborne tricks, you can choose from six Stalls when traveling at grind speed.
You can also change to a different lane on wide spines if you are moving slowly.
Introduction to Tricks
Grinds, Stalls, and Rollovers
When the second segment is brightly highlighted on the Speed Meter, you can grind, stall, or rollover by holding the B Button. Press the Control Pad with the B Button to pull off different tricks.
Airborne Tricks
At higher speeds, you will jump off ramps; the faster you go, the more air you will catch when you jump. Pull off a move with the Buttons and Control Pad when going up a ramp or in the air to perform a trick.
Be careful not to pull off a hard trick too late, or you may crash.
How to Execute Grinds on Handrails
Hold the B Button when moving in front of the rail at grind speed to grind. Press the Control Pad while holding the B Button to select a different trick.
