Damn this game is good. Snowboard Kids is one of the better games on the 64 and a great cart racer in general.
Power ups. Weapons. Multiple courses, characters, and boards to choose from.
Think Mario Kart on snowboards.
In addition to all the usual, you also can do tricks (which give you gold - you can't pick up power ups without gold).
Music was on point (actually it was really bloody good) - it had multiple game modes, a shop for customisation (before microtransactions) and track selection was cool - all felt unique from eachother and well designed - route shortcuts and steady difficulty progression.
Anyway, it's better than Mario Kart and I'll fight whoever disagrees.
And fuck that DS reboot.
