Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is a unique take on the extreme sports genre for the Game Boy Color. In this game, you play as Dave Mirra, completing various goals in each level to advance and unlock further levels.
The main objective of Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX is to reach a certain score through tricks and combos, perform special tricks, or collect items. Each level has its own set of objectives, including half- and quarter pipes, ramps, rails, and obstacles to perform tricks on.
The game features 24 different tricks that can be unlocked by finding tokens in the levels, as well as a training mode where you can practice without the time limit present in career mode. Dave Mirra Freestyle BMX also includes a multiplayer mode for up to four players, who take turns on a single GBC and compete to achieve the highest score or best trick combo.

•
Single Player: Try any of the Single Player Modes.
•

OPTIONS
Options
•

•
Jingles: Play with merry jingles (ON) or shut 'em down (OFF).
•
Sound FX: Choose to play with sound effects ON or OFF.
•

Choosing a Game
There are three Single Player game choices:
•
START NEW CAREER: This will start a new career, beginning on a clunky bike in Greenville, NC, with only two levels available to choose from. You can go all the way to the top in the Acclaim Games by completing more and more mission goals.
•
CONTINUE CAREER: This is available when a password has been entered. You will resume your career at the level of that password, with all your progress intact.
•
TRAINING: Training lets you practice on any available level with no time limit, missions, medals or anything to distract you from perfecting your riding skills. If you enter the proper password, any unlocked levels are yours to practice on.
Worlds and Levels
There are four areas, or "worlds" of play, made up of two levels each. Each level has three mission goals which you must meet to beat the level. In addition, if you collect the Trick item hidden on each level, you'll learn a new trick, which will appear in your Trick List along with its control. Once you beat a world, you will get a bike upgrade, too.
At the beginning, only the training courses in Greenville, NC, are available. To unlock the next world, a specific number of completed mission goals is required. When a new world is unlocked, you will also receive a new bike which lets you perform tricks faster. Some mission goals are easier to complete if you have a better bike, so after unlocking the next world (and bike), go back and try to complete any unfinished goals.
Worlds
•
GREENVILLE: Beginning rookie training levels.
•
ADVANCED: For the more advanced riders.
•
PROFESSIONAL: The first level of pro BMX competition.
•
ACCLAIM GAMES: The ultimate test of BMX riding skills.
Mission Objectives
Each level has three mission objectives. There is one unique mission objective in every level, as well as High Score and Collect All Items missions. Objectives are given before each game level and can be reviewed by pausing the game.
Level Selection
To select the available level you wish to ride on, press ◄ or ► on the CONTROL PAD to highlight a particular level in that world. Press the A BUTTON to select that level.
Bikes
In Simulation Mode, you begin the game on a heavy second-hand clunker (you always use the best bike in Arcade Mode). As you progress in the game, you automatically get a new bike after unlocking a new world. With the new bike, you will perform all tricks slightly faster, allowing you to do more tricks in a combo. You will be able to successfully perform tricks with less airtime.
Replay
At the end of your run, you can press SELECT to view a replay of your ride. During the replay, press SELECT once more to halt the replay, then press SELECT once more to rewind the replay or the A or B BUTTON to quit it. Replays are not saved.
Scoring
Your trick and combo score as well as any additional information appears in the lower right of the screen, your total score in the lower left. Combining or "chaining" tricks into combos gives you the highest score. Each trick has a base score that represents how difficult that trick is to perform in the game. A trick's base score increases when the player demonstrates high skill, creativity and risk-taking.
To encourage diversity in trick selection, the first time in a run a trick is performed successfully it will be worth significantly more than the base score. The second time it's only worth the base score; every other time a growing percentage of the base score will be deducted. However, a trick will always score a certain minimum depending on its base score.
Pro Scores
The Pro Score for each level appears on the level selection screen and after each level. Try to beat the Pro Score on any level and you'll win a coveted Designer's Medal. Note that the Pro Scores will always be reset when you turn off your Game Boy.
Medals
Besides simply advancing in the game, there's another reason to become a stunning BMX rider. Top riders are rewarded with four types of medals for specific actions in each level (medals are not awarded in Training Mode). These medals will be saved in the password and show off your progression and skill. The medals are hard to achieve and require top skills. When
