The gameplay involves using a "skateboard" controller to virtually ride, execute tricks, rack up points and bonuses in a physically interactive virtual environment. Players can interact with the environments alone, or choose multiplayer modes. The game also features various locations including New Orleans, Morocco, Greece, Hawaii, Melbourne, and Huck Jam Park.
The controls have been extended to include four modes: on-rails, self-correcting, Casual Plus, and a new mix of both. The visuals have been updated with full cel-shaded design, except for the Wii version which has a more realistic style.
