Modes of Play
World Tour Challenge
The World Tour Challenge is the basic "story mode" for the game, taking a character through three grades with 12 stages each. To proceed, you must fulfill the requirements for each stage. World Tour Challenge provides a mixture of Exhibition, Slalom, and Boss Battle play.
Slalom
Slalom is an event where you must reach the goal before time runs out. Passing through hoops will increase your time limit, and picking up blue gems will add points. The faster you finish, the more points you will receive.
Boss Battle
This is an event where you have to destroy the robot snowman boss with five hits before it reaches the goal. The boss will drop a series of Walls in your way, and you have 3 Nitros to use if you lag behind. You will earn more points if you defeat the boss quickly.
Exhibition
Exhibition is the regular "race" mode. The goal is to finish at the highest place possible while thwarting your three rivals with Shots and Items, like Snowboard Kids 1. Each character has their own Shots.
Trick Match
Trick Match works much like an Exhibition event, but it is actually a contest to see who can finish the course with the highest amount of points. You can use Shots and Items to mess up your opponents. When you finish higher than last, you will also get bonus points depending on your rank.
Free Ride
Free Ride allows you to run through a course without competition. There are no Shots or Items, and no lap limit.
