Freak Out: Extreme Freeride is an arcade skiing game focused on performing tricks and stunts. The main mode is Mission, where players need to jump gaps, make tricks, grind rails, and pick stars. Completing the different challenges is rewarded with money, exchanged for basic equipment like skis, boots, and helmets, and style equipment such as jackets, goggles, and gloves at the shop.
It also opens up new slopes and mountains. In Freeride mode, the aim is to get the highest score, opening up slopes and mountains, with four mountains in total, and earning endurance points. Bone Ride has the player collect bones against a time limit to earn balance points, and beating courses in the Slope Style mode requires reaching a pre-defined score to receive trick skill points.
The different game modes are grouped in the main Career, Single race, and Multiplayer sections. Players need to take care of their landings - touch the ground with back, front, or side weight, and a lower score multiplier is awarded. The game also keeps track of your "flow" by doing consecutive tricks.
There are six different characters and the arsenal of tricks includes flips, rolls, carve/cross skis, grabs, rails, jumps, and specials.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a horror-themed adventure game where players control Linda, a young girl, as she navigates a mysterious and dangerous situation involving her vain sisters and a supernatural entity. The core gameplay involves exploring a transformed house and potentially solving puzzles to uncover the truth and save her sisters from a sinister fate.
Story
The Story
This is the unusual story of an unusual little girl.
Linda lived in a big house on the outskirts of town with her 12 sisters, all of whom were extremely vain. All day long her sisters would put on makeup, try on different clothes, and strut about the house admiring themselves in mirrors. They rarely talked, pausing only to complement each other on how beautiful they looked.
"My, how beautiful I look today!" said Jelly-Chan as she admired herself in one of the house's many large mirrors. "This outfit looks absolutely fabulous on me. Linda don't I look spectacular?"
"Yes Jelly, you look lovely, as always" replied Linda who wasn't in the least bit vain. Linda could not understand her sisters' fascination with their appearance. The only piece of clothing Linda truly loved was a tatty old green scarf which had been given to her by her father.
"And look at you, always wearing that gaudy striped shirt and stupid cap. And that scarf! It's so old it should be buried. Honestly Linda you're a complete disaster. Why don't you let us give you a makeover?"
"Because I don't want a makeover. I like my clothes. At least they fit me! That skirt is obviously two sizes too small for you!"
"Don't you take that tone of voice with Jelly!" said Spirit, the oldest of the sisters. "She's right, you do look like a mess! Now make yourself useful and go down to the mall and pick up our cosmetics order!"
Linda was the youngest in the family and was used to being bossed around. Since her sisters rarely left the house (they couldn't stand to be away from their wardrobe for very long) Linda was always delegated to go into town for groceries and whatnot. Linda didn't really mind though. In truth, she liked to get outside and enjoyed a break from her sister's once in a while.
So Linda walked down the long road into town and picked up her sister's cosmetics order from the beauty store. There were so many boxes Linda could barely carry them all! As she staggered back from town, trying to keep her balance with the boxes stacked way above her head, she heard the sound of a vehicle getting closer.
She looked around but couldn't see anything, even though the sound was getting louder and louder. Suddenly, from out of nowhere, a large truck with a bizarre logo emblazoned on the side appeared and zoomed by Linda, almost hitting her. Linda lost her balance and dropped all the boxes.
As the truck drove away into the distance, it seemed to her that the logo on the side was almost...laughing at her? No, it must be her imagination. Linda slowly gathered up the boxes and continued on towards home.
The Mysterious Delivery
Meanwhile, the truck pulled to a stop outside Linda's house. A few seconds later the front door opened and a large package was pushed inside. Before anyone could see who (or what) had made the delivery, the door slammed and the truck drove away.
All of the 12 sisters gathered round the package, curious as to what it was, and who it was for.
•
"Maybe it's food for me!" said Jelly-Chan hungrily.
•
"Perhaps it's make-up for me!" said Mirage hopefully.
•
"No, no, it must be that new blouse I ordered!" said Samantha, excitedly.
•
"That's strange, there's no address on it, just this 'Beauty Set' flier!" commented Spirit.
As Spirit reached out to pick up the leaflet the box began to shake! All the sisters jumped back, startled! Slowly the tabs unfolded and the box began to open by itself! As the sides dropped to the floor an ominous looking doorway was revealed. The door was closed, but a mysterious voice could be heard from inside.
The Voice from Within
"Sisters, Sisters, don't be frightened.
Gather round and be enlightened!
For we have come from far away,
to grant your heart's desire this day.
Such glamour we have rarely seen!
You all could pass as beauty queens.
Your clothes look great, as does your hair;
your make up is without compare.
And yet... you feel it's not enough,
for any girl can buy this stuff.
You want a look that's more unique.
A style beyond conventional chic,
Well ladies, it's your lucky day,
there is no reason to dismay!
For it is well within our power,
To change your very shape this hour!
Now ultimately it's your decision,
To manifest your inner vision,
But trust us, it's the best cosmetic,
We guarantee you won't regret it.
Your vanity has drawn us here,
Let your pride overcome your fear,
Your desire is the only key,
To unlock the museum of agony."
By the time the voice had finished the sisters had completely forgotten about Linda and their cosmetics delivery. In fact, they had completely forgotten about everything. They barely even noticed as the door slowly began to open...
As Linda approached the house, tired from carrying her sisters' cosmetics boxes all the way back from the store, a blinding light started flashing from inside, visible through all the windows. There was a large explosion, windows shattered, and the light spread, engulfing Linda.

How to Play
Linda dashed inside and instantly saw the source of the light. Standing right there in the middle of the front hall was a mysterious open doorway with light pouring out. Linda approached the door cautiously. As she stepped closer she heard a strange high pitched mischievous laugh. Then, right before her eyes her scarf started to move, coiling around her like a snake! Linda gasped as the end turned black, split like fingers, and a huge eye opened on the back. Her scarf had become possessed! Linda was afraid the scarf might try to attack her, after a few seconds, she realized that it actually seemed to like her!
Just then Linda heard the whispering voice coming from the other side of the door. Because of the light, she could not see who was speaking.
'Linda, step through the portal. Join your sisters! Join us!'
'What have you done with my sisters?' shouted Linda defiantly.
'They have been made beautiful, like your scarf. Do you want to become beautiful Linda?'
'I don't want to become anything! I just want my sister's back!'
'If you want them, hissed the voice, 'then come and get them!
Even though she was scared, Linda knew she was her sisters' only hope. Without hesitation, she stepped through the doorway and into the light.

GETTING STARTED
Your Goal
Linda's mission is to free her 12 sisters from the clutches of the demons of vanity. To do so, she must confront each of them in their own realm, exorcize the demon that possesses them, and then defeat their demonic form once and for all. If that sounds complicated don't worry, it will all make sense in a few pages!
The Museum of Agony
The game begins with Linda's arrival to the Museum of Agony, the central hub of the game from which all other areas are eventually accessible.
The Museum of Agony exists in limbo, a plane of existence somewhere between the world of the living and the world of spirits. Whilst in the Museum, Linda is safe from harm. All of Linda's sisters have become living exhibits in this bizarre place, victims of their own excessive vanity.
Around the room are a number of doors, which lead to two different kinds of destinations: the EX worlds, and the Sisters' realms. You can also access the save sculpture and Gallery of Shame from the museum.
Saving Your Game
Any time Linda is in the Museum of Agony you can save your game state using the save sculpture. Access the save game feature by stretching the triangular sculpture as shown.
Revealing More Doors
When you begin a new game only six doors will be accessible to Linda. To reveal more doors you must successfully defeat the currently available selection of sisters.
THE POINTS SYSTEM
Points are a very important part of Freakout. You begin the game with 0 points, and you'll need lots of them if you want to save Linda's sisters.
What are points used for?
Points are necessary for two important functions: Opening the doors that lead to the 12 Sisters' realms, and activating the scarf bomb special attack. On each of the 'Sister' doors in the Museum of Agony is a number (from 1-6) representing the number of points needed to open that door.
Each time you open a door the corresponding number of points is deducted from Linda's total point count. If you don't have enough points, the door won't open. In addition, it costs Linda 5 points to activate the scarf bomb special attack. If Linda does not have enough points she will not be able to activate this attack.
How do I get more points?
There are two ways to increase your point count. The first, and easiest way, is to visit one of the four EX worlds accessible through the museum of agony, and fight against the Zako. Every time you defeat a Zako, you get a point. There are normally 10 or so Zako per EX level so hunt around!
Additionally you will sometimes be awarded points for successfully landing a difficult (red damage) attack on one of the sisters.
THE SISTERS' REALMS
There are 12 'Sister' doors in the Museum of Agony, each leading to a different demon's realm. Here you must do battle with each sister's possessed form, exorcize the demon (using the scarf bomb special attack) and then defeat the sister to free her. If Linda is knocked out whilst fighting a sister, she will be returned to the Museum of Agony.
If you successfully free a sister, then the realm will remain clear. The door to that realm will be marked with '0', indicating that no points are required to revisit the realm.
EX WORLDS
The EX worlds (Exterior) are the best place for Linda to accumulate points. There are 4 EX worlds Linda can access through the museum of agony: Ice, Island, Factory and Rooftop, each marked with a corresponding illustration.
An EX door requires NO points
Tips & Maps
Positioning The Scarf
Use the right analog stick to move the scarf around Linda, enabling you to position it before extension.
Extending The Scarf
Press and hold the R1 button to extend the scarf, which will automatically grab any object it contacts; you can control its exact position with the right analog stick.
Stretching!
Once the scarf grabs something, use the right analog stick to stretch the target in all directions, filling your 'stretch-o-meter' (indicated by the eye changing from yellow to red) the harder and longer you stretch.
Attack Technique: Snap Attack
Stretch a weak point on an enemy with the scarf and release R1; the impact of the elasticized surface snapping back causes damage, with more damage inflicted the higher the tension (red 'stretch-o-meter').
Attack Technique: Torpedo Attack
If your 'stretch-o-meter' goes beyond red without releasing, Linda will launch into the air and fly headfirst at the grabbed target, dealing more damage than a snap attack but being harder to use effectively.
Attack Technique: Throwing Small Objects
Grab small objects like bombs or rocks with the scarf and press the R3 button to throw them in Linda's facing direction, or at a locked target.
Jump Technique: Scarf Flip
When Linda has grabbed the environment (not an enemy), pushing the R3 button initiates a flip, similar to the torpedo attack but without a target, with the distance traveled depending on how much the scarf is stretched.
How to Initiate the Scarf Bomb
To activate the scarf bomb, Linda needs at least 5 points; when the scarf has an enemy grabbed, push and hold both L3 and R3 buttons simultaneously, causing the scarf to grow two extra magic arms for stretching while the main arm holds the target stationary.
Using the Scarf Bomb to Exorcize the Demons
Linda must use the scarf bomb to grab her possessed sister with all 3 scarf arms and hold them for about 5 seconds to complete the exorcism, while being invulnerable to most attacks, but the bomb will end if the sister is damaged too much.
Enemies & Characters
Cinder
Before she was possessed, Cinder had an unhealthy fascination with fire. Now transformed, her pyromaniac tendencies have resurfaced, and her weak spot is her explosive adams apple, the fiery source of her power.
Spinner
Spinner is extremely hyperactive and sporty. Her transformed state is balanced like a pendulum to take full advantage of her centrifugal fascination.
Miss Mecca
Miss Mecca, once an aspiring inventor, now sees herself at the helm of a giant, unbalanced robot as her vision of perfect beauty.
Siren
Siren, an aspiring opera singer, now literally transforms souls with her music in her demonic state. Don't be deceived by her innocent façade, as when she sings, all hell breaks loose.
Fay Soff
Fay was obsessed with her facial features, and now her face is gigantic with features that have a life of their own. Re-arranging them into a Picasso-style configuration would lower her defense.
Anne Droid V2.1
Anne, once a computer and astronomy enthusiast, is now transformed into a satellite orbiting her own planet. She drops yellow Zako (charge source) and blue Zako (conductors) to form a chain for zapping Linda.
Jelly-Chan
Jelly-Chan, with a weakness for sweets, has been transformed into a giant, gluttonous blob that can absorb and eat anything. Her spongy body makes her resistant to regular attacks.
Demonica
Demonica, with an unhealthy passion for horror, has been transformed into a terrifying being. Linda must keep her out of the room, using sound and holes in the wall to track her location, or it's game over.
Samantha
Samantha, who loved playing with her plastic toy fish, now has her favorite toy perverted into a deadly living weapon that can grapple and throw large objects at Linda.
Cyan
Cyan, the smallest sister, is now a towering, gigantic stationary alien waging war against tiny jet pack shock troopers. Linda must keep these troopers in the air and fighting to defeat Cyan.
Mirage
Mirage, who enjoyed Egyptian culture, pictures herself as a mummified temptress in a sarcophagus outfit. She uses the desert to her advantage, creating a tornado of sand to chase Linda.
Spirit
Spirit, the eldest sister, has become Linda's ultimate adversary, a formless apparition with two phantom claws. Her desire for children manifests as deadly Zako statues that assist her.
