Hidden boards will be covered in the secret stuff section. 3.1. Balance boards Balance board Lvl.1 Speed: 3 Turn: 4 Jump: 4 This is an easy board to control and is the best for beginners. It should be used for the first few races. Balance Board Lvl.2 Speed: 5 Turn: 4 Jump: 4 this is another good board for beginners when you get enough money to buy it in the board shop(Which shouldn't take too long) Balance board Lvl.3 Speed: 7 Turn: 4 Jump: 4 One of my favorites. A really good and ver balanced board. 3.2. Trick boards Trick Board Lvl. 1 Speed: 2 Turn: 5 Jump: 5 Don't use this one in races, just in the trick game.(See section 1.8 for details) Trick board Lvl. 2 Speed: 4 Turn: 5 Jump: 5 Faster than the level 1 trick board (Duh). Other than that there’s no difference. Trick Board Lvl. 3 Speed: 6 Turn: 5 Jump: 5 A good board for tricks AND races. Use this one if you’re not too good at steering. 3.3. Speed boards Speed Board Lvl. 1 Speed: 4 Turn: 3 Jump: 3 A nice board to use once you’ve mastered turning and if you don’t mind not jumping too well. Do NOT use this board in the trick game.(See section 1.8: Snowboard town. For details.). Speed Board Lvl. 2 Speed: 6 Turn: 3 Jump: 3 Another nice board for going fast. Again, don’t use this in the trick game. Speed Board Lvl. 3 Speed: 8 Turn: 3 Jump: 3 The fastest non-hidden board in the game. Only use this board if you have mastered turning. =4.0. Character info= This section explains the characters and their attributes. 4.1. Slash Kamei: Active and naughty. Speed: Fair Turn: Fair Jump: Fair An all-around character as you can see. Good for beginners. 4.2. Nancy Neil: Nice and reliable. Speed: Bad Jump: Great Turn: Great A trick type character that’s good for the trick game and some bosses. Do not race with her. 4.3. Jam Kuehnemund: A conceited brat. (His last name is pronounced Ku-ne-mund, thanks to Aaron for the info) Speed: Poor Turn: Good Jump: Good Another well balanced character for begginers. Slightly faster than Slash. 4.4. Linda Maltinie: Snobbish brat. Speed: Great Turn: Bad Jump: Bad Not a bad character if you’ve mastered steering. Goes good with the Lvl. 3 Trick Board. Fast, but not as fast as: 4.5. Tommy Parsy: Easy-going glutton. Speed: Excellent Turn: Very Poor Jump: Very Poor Fastest non-hidden character. Turns horrible. Use level 3 Trick board unless you can steer VERY well. 4.6. Wendy Lane: Loves inventing stuff. Speed: Very Poor Turn: Very Good Jump: Very Good A trick type. Like Nancy, do NOT race with her, just do the trick game. Hidden characters will be covered in the secrets section. =5.0. Snowboard Town= Snowboard town is the “Overworld” of Snowboard Kids 2. It has different shops and stuff you can visit. Walk all the way to the left or right to get to the course. 5.1. Trick Game This is the competition where you do tricks to earn points and win money. You do a trick by holding A and a direction on the joystick and letting go of A without letting go of the joystick. You can also tap A at the end of a trick while still holding a direction. But don’t do a trick right before you land or you’ll crash. You can also press a C- button to do a board grab. You get 10 points for a flip and 1 point for a board grab. Duiring a race on a course you get 100 G for a flip and 20 G for a board grab. Suggested characters: Nancy/Wendy. 5.2.Board shop This is where you use the money you win in races to but better boards so you can race better. You start with level 1 boards and you can buy level 2 boards. Then after you’ve bought all the level 2 boards you can buy level 3 boards(There are also hidden boards that I will tell about in the secrets section). 5.3.Speed Cross This is where you have to get the finish line before your timer runs out. Don’t bother doing tricks because you don’t get points. Suggested characters: Linda/Tommy. 5.4.School This is where you can switch your character. Not much to say about this. 5.5.Phone This is where you can save and quit your game. This game can hold 3 files and does not need a memory card to save(thank goodness). 5.6.Snowboard Times(Shoot cross) In this mini-game you have to deliver newspapers by shooting them off at mailboxes with Z. You get 50 papers. That's more than you need, but if you don't use any extras, then you get something special.(Details in secrets section) Suggested characters: Slash/Jam 5.7.Wendy’s internet In here you can view Board, character, and course information. You can also get tips and listen to music. 5.8.Paint Shop In here you can paint your boards with selected styles. It does not affect your board it just makes it look cool. It costs money to do this though and it’s not really worth it, but if you're loaded, then by all means, go ahead. =6.0. Walkthrough= 6.1. Sunny Mountain Length: 1008m Difficulty: Very Easy One of the easiest courses in the game(And the first). Just don’t get too fancy with tricks and you’ll be okay. 6.2.Turtle Island Length: 1379m Difficulty: Easy Another fairly easy course. You can do more tricks in this level because the jumps are pretty big. 6.3. Jingle Town Length: 1480m Difficulty: Easy It would be smart to have a level 2 board now if possible. This level isn’t much harder than Turtle Island except for the rabbits in the middle of the track at one point, avoid these and you’ll be fine. Again, don’t get too fancy on the tricks except for coming out of the cave area. 6.4.Jingle Town (Boss) Length: 1480m Difficulty: Moderate Okay this guy is tough. Just keep firing weapons and using items on him and avoiding his shots and try to kill him by the end of the course. You should be fine. Don’t do tricks either. Also, he fires snowman shots at you, so you shouldn't suffer too much if he hits you. 6.5.Wendy’s house Length: 1656m Difficulty: Moderate This is the second longest course in the game(but also the funnest). Here the jumps are pretty big so you can do plenty of tricks. Just watch out for the falling chocolates or whatever those are and don’t fall off the piano. And when you reach the tunnel thing, keep going left. A good place to put a rock in this course is right after the pendulum obstacle. Oh, and a bit of useless trivia, if you jump on the piano keys, it plays the sound commonly associated with sitting on the piano. 6.6.Linda’s Castle Length: 1532m Difficulty: Hard Okay, watch out for the tables and sheep in this course. And a note, when it says jump in this course, JUMP! Some of the turns here are pretty sharp so be careful. 6.7.Crazy Jungle Length: 1603m Difficulty: Moderate Okay this is another long one. It’s not too hard as long as you don’t try the rope shortcut(Unless you are VERY good). Watch out for the Bomb’s falling down in the temple section and the alligators in the swamp part(they don’t call this crazy jungle for nothing). You should also have a level 3 board now. If you don’t have one, GET ONE! 6.8.Crazy Jungle (Boss) Length: 1603m Difficulty: HARD! This is the hardest part in the game to me. Make sure you have a level 3 board or else you are history because this guy is FAST! Hit him with everything you find and don't try the rope shortcut unless you are POSITIVE that you can do it. One fall and you're pretty much history. I do NOT reccomend getting the boosted start on this one because you will careen into the upwards turn near the start of the course and fly in the air and you'll be eating that dino's dust. If you can't make good time on that first turn, then try using a board with better turning capabilites. You can lose a little speed as long as you pick up enough bombs or fans, depending on your preference. Though, if you can pick up the frying pan, I recommend doing it because it slows him down a LOT. Do not shoot him as soon as you pick up a bomb because you can't afford to waste bombs(Especially in expert mode). Make sure you are POSITIVE you will hit him. It may help to not jump at the large waterfall but I'm not sure, so just experiment. You will probably be able to nail him a few times if you just ride down the falls though. 6.9.Starlight Highway Length: 1520m Difficulty: Hard This is a pretty fun track to race on but it is also pretty hard. Hit all the accelerators you see and do lots of tricks. Take the broken window shortcut on the second tunnel(You can’t miss it, just follow the coins) for a nice shave-off of time. 6.10.Haunted House Length: 1556m Difficulty: Hard This is an annoying course. Don’t take the left path unless you’ve mastered the wire thing. Watch out so you don’t touch the ghosts because they’ll slow you down. 6.11.Ice Land Length: 1668m difficulty: Hard This is the longest(and most irritating) course in the game. A new guy is racing and he is FAST! Hit your opponents with everything you got or you’ll lose. This is the course where it’s hardest to stay on the track. Don't turn too sharply because therer are rarely walls here. 6.12.Ice Land (BOSS!) Length: 1668m Difficulty: Very Hard Here it is, the final boss. Pick up all the bombs on the course and watch out because he shoots at you. Use a fast character and a board with good handling so you can keep up with him. Don’t shoot unless he is in a straight path ahead of you and you’re close enough(but not so close as to where the explosion hurts you.). When you get rid of all his health he’ll come back once and he’ll be faster but he’ll only have 3 health. Use a character with good turning and fairly good board and you should win(Actually, when I finally beat it, it was with Nancy on a level 3 trick board). So GOOD LUCK! =7.0. Secrets= This is the section where I will explain all the secret stuff. 1. Damien’s house in shoot cross: As soon as you leave the two boosts(The big walls) don’t turn, just keep going strait and go through the trees to get to Damiens house. This also provides for a nice short-cut in the speed cross. 2. Expert Mode Complete every course in the story mode to unlock the expert mode. 3.

There are(There will be a * next to the ones that are homing): Slap Stick*- Now THAT'S comedy Knocks opponent over and makes them lose money. Parachute*- Geronimo!
