Snowboard Kids 2

Snowboard Kids 2, released in Japan as Chou Snobow Kids, was the second game in the Snowboard Kids series. Although it was never released in the United Kingdom, it can be imported. It features the same characters as the first game, but with some new faces: Wendy, Damien, Mr. Dog, and Coach. The game supports up to 4 simultaneous players.

Damien
'''Age Unknown, Male, ???? Type'''
