turn better. Just be careful not to get your board into
reverse with the Alpine.
Where's the best places to do tricks?
Nancy has an idea!
Nancy: If you want to perform special tricks, head for
Big Snowman, Sunset Rock, or Night Highway and practice
them. Don't do tricks on banked turns or bumps, that'll
usually make you crash and lose time. Still, my tricks
are the coolest of them all.
I keep losing. What is there to do?
We think Jam should take over here.
Jam:Yo! You've got to take advantage of the weapons or
you will be as doomed as Linda on a cold winter day...
Linda: Hey!
Jam: Sor-REE! Why do you dress like that then? As I was
saying, weapons handle pretty badly when they seek out,
so fire them only when you have room. Howeer, occasion-
ally they can make up to 45° turns, especially the hand.
Just fire away!
(Yep. it's a different version of the instruction manual
FAQ. This is more detailed, and also, some of you guys
don't even read instruction manuals!)
Which boards should I choose?
Linda's an expert on these things.
Linda: Above are all the boards recommended for each
course. In Speed Cross, however, use the Free Style
board, despite the instruction manual thingy. I recom-
mend also the Free Style Board in Shot Cross. In Time
Attack, you should use...well...the boards listed above!
What do they mean by "Trick"?
Slash would like to answer.
Slash: Good question! Trick ability is,......the ability
to do tricks! A good handling character usually has more
tricks that average characters. Darn! I only have 3!
Trick ability itself is how fast a character can do a
trick. Since mine is average, and if I get a Free Style
board, I can do tricks in less time, thus having the
ability to do it on much smaller jumps, especially the
Slash Dynamite (Ooh, I LOVE that!)
Shinobin, everyone has always pictured you as a "?".
What do you really look like?
It's time for Shinobin.
Shinobin: It's a secret. I'm not really a question mark,
how stupid can THAT be? Like the 5 other characters,
this ninja dude has his own big nose (sorry if I was
acting immortal, I'm much better than the bunch). Also,
in case someone tries to act smart, I just get my
trusty sword on my left. Yes, I'm a lefty.
What are the character attributes?

Glitches
This one is extremely hard to do, but if you manage to
do it, you'll get a great reward. Go to Animal Land, and
do lots of tricks. Then, make sure your time is EXACTLY
00'03"23 as you get on the sick at the end, and your
score will double when you get on and again when you get
off.

ALRIGHTY THEN, TIME FOR THE FINAL ULTIMATE CODE!

Info on Snowboard Kids 2
This game is as mysterious as Shinobin himself. Not much
is known at this point, except that it will star the
regular kids, and you'll be able to race on the varied
textures of the game that came before it. You know,
sand, grass, brick, mud, ice, water, dirt, asphalt, clay,
and, of course, snow. There will also be more tricks
that will be harder to perform and more kids to choose
from. Judging from other peoples' complaints, Atlus
heard them and added: MORE COURSES! That's right, there
will actually be more than 15! Uh oh, I gave out too
much information already!

P.S. If you'd like to ask something or you find a typo,
e-mail me at "PRAMAT@aol.com". I'll do what I can do.
Also, how come I'm so good if I never actually bought
the game, just rented it lots of times?

P.S. I might not have much on Rookie Mt., Big Snowman, or
Sunset Rock, but can you find anyone who's actually
stuck on those courses?
