Drop that tight chute, link that turn and launch that lofty front-side air! Burn up the competition on extreme downhill runs or out-cool the snow bums with rail slides, ollies, and back-side rail grabs. Get loose!
Getting Started
Set up your PlayStation™ and insert the Cool Boarders CD as described in your PlayStation™ manual. It is advised that you do not insert or remove peripherals or Memory cards once the power is turned on. Main Menu
At the main menu, use the UP and DOWN Directional buttons to move the highlight and press the X button to confirm your choice or the O button to cancel. You can press the START button during the demo to bring this up.
You can choose either START to begin a game or OPTIONS to change the settings. The options are listed at the end of the manual.
Course Select
Use the LEFT and RIGHT Directional buttons to view all the courses and press the X button to make a selection. Initially there are 3 courses: NOVICE, ADVANCED and EXPERT.
The box at bottom right shows the total length in metres, the average slope angle, and the maximum slope angle. The official record time is shown at bottom left.
Music Select
Use the UP and DOWN Directional buttons to select the background music and press the X button twice to continue. Choose RANDOM PLAY if you can't decide.
Board Select
Use the LEFT and RIGHT Directional buttons to choose your board and the X button to confirm. The performance profile at bottom right shows the board's rating for SPEED, STABILITY and RESPONSE.
There are three basic models:
•
FREE STYLE - High on stability and controllability - recommended for beginners
•
ALL ROUND - Average performance all around.
•
ALPINE - While the top speed is the distinguishing feature, the stability and controllability are a bit shaky.
Furthermore, the speed will reduce when you execute Fakie. Once you have made your choice you can then use the LEFT and RIGHT Directional buttons to change your board's colour. Press the X button to continue.
Player Select
Use the LEFT and RIGHT Directional buttons to choose either a male or female boarder, then press the X button. After that, you can also select their outfit in the same way.
The Ghost Boarder
When you complete a course you are then given the option of saving that run as the ghost data. If you wish to do this highlight Update Ghost Data and press the X button. Next time you race on that same course you can compete against the Ghost Boarder.
You can also sit back and watch the Ghost Boarder's run by selecting REPLAY within OPTIONS. You can save or load Ghost Boarder data onto a Memory card by selecting MEMORY CARD within OPTIONS.
Note, though that the Ghost Boarder function can only store a run down one course - if you try the other courses now you'll be racing alone again.
Après-Boarding Results
When you complete a course, you are shown a replay of the run along with the results: the time, number of points for tricks and the total number of points. The latter is based on the total trick points earned as well as the difference between the official time pre-set in each section and the actual time boarded.
If you do well enough you get to enter your initials for the rankings tables.
Next use the UP and DOWN Directional buttons to highlight one of the following choices and the X button to select:
•
Update Ghost Data (saves a recording of that run - see the section on The Ghost Boarder)
•
Quit (to return to the title screen)
