'''Snowboard Kids 2''' is a snowboarding video game, the second game in the [[Snowboard Kids]] series. It features the same characters as the first game (with the exception of Shinobin), but with new features and new faces.


'''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 [[import|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. Unlike the original [[Snowboard Kids]], you ''don't'' need a [[Controller Pak]] to save game data; it saves right on the [[Game Pak]].

[[Category:Snowboarding]]
 
[[Category:Single player]]
===Slash Kamei===
[[Category:Multiplayer]]
'''Age 10, Male, Balance Type'''
 
Slash is the most balanced character in the game with average stats on speed, turning and jumps. He is seen throughout the game to be mischievous and is usually shown alongside Jam annoying the girls.
very good for beginners
*Speed 2
*Turn 2
*Trick 2
 
===Nancy Neil===
'''Age 10, Female, Trick Type'''
 
Nancy is very good at turning and jumps but is very slow and so is often used for the courses with harder turns or stunt mode. On the story mode she is seen to be passive and seems unaffected by the constant fighting between Slash, Jam and Linda.
Nancy is a sweet girl.
*Speed 1
*Turn 3
*Trick 3
 
===Jam Kuehnemund===
'''Age 10, Male, Balance Type'''
 
Jam is another balanced character similar to Slash. As well as snowboarding he is also seen breakdancing. He is usually seen with Slash causing havoc or taunting Linda.He is definitly the coolest snow board kid.He likes Linda.Jam is my favorite kid.
 
 
*Speed 1 1/2
*Turn 2 1/2
*Trick 2 1/2
 
===Linda Maltinie===
'''Age 11, Female, Speed Type'''
 
Linda is the second fastest of the non-secret characters but has slightly lacking turning and jump stats. She is often shown in the games story to be snobby, irritable and very competitive, because of this she is frequently a target of Slash and Jam's combined taunting.
Linda is also very rich.She likes Jam.
*Speed 2 1/2
*Turn 1 1/2
*Trick 1 1/2
 
===Tommy Parsy===
'''Age 10, Male, Speed Type'''
 
Tommy is sometimes a bully, other times he's goofy, but Tommy seriously lacks self control and focus. He could fall off with ease. but his speed is good.He is good for more experienced players who like speed and no tricks.
*Speed 3
*Turn 1
*Trick 1
 
===Wendy Lane===
'''Age 8, Female, Trick Type'''
 
Wendy is a new addition to the snowboard kids series and is similar to Nancy but has even more focus on jumps and turning and less focus on speed. She is a specialist character used mainly for stunt mode, on the story she is shown as an inventor making a spaceship and shrink ray.
She also invented the rocket, which is an item you can use in Snowboard Kids 2.She may look dorky but she is a good steerer but slow.She likes Slash.
*Speed 1
*Turn 3
*Trick 3
 
===Damien===
'''Age Unknown, Male, ???? Type'''
 
Damien is the best of the balanced characters and is unlocked after beating him in story mode. Throughout the story he is constantly trying to interfere with the other kids games or activities but his plans fail (usually comically) and is often caught in the crossfire of the others arguments.He is cool looking and fast but you cant see him cause he is behind the sign.
It's possible that he likes Nancy.
*Speed 2 1/2
*Turn 3
*Trick 1 1/2
 
===Coach===
'''Age Unknown, Male?, Trick Type'''
 
The best character for stunts but also the slowest in the game. Therefore Coach is like Nancy.I dont think anyone should pick him.
*Speed 1
*Turn 3
*Trick 3
 
===Mr. Dog===
'''Age Unknown, Male, Speed Type'''
 
The fastest character in the game but has trouble navigating simple turns or jumping trivial gaps in the course. He is the owner of the shop in both games and has the same Corner & Trick stats as Tommy.
*Speed 3
*Turn 1
*Trick 1
 
==Boards==
There are three sets of boards that you have to use during normal mode, Balance, Trick, and Speed, with three levels each.  You get the v1 of each set at the beginning of the game.  During the game you can buy upgrades for each of the sets, each upgrade increases the speed of the board.
 
===Balance Boards===
Balance Boards are, as the name suggests, balanced in stats. All three levels have Turn and Jump at a solid 4 and L1 has speed at 3 and each level it goes up by 2 points.I recomend them for all tracks.
 
<table style="border:1px #c0c0c0 solid;">
<tr><td style="background-color:#c0c0c0;font-weight:bold;">Level</td><td style="background-color:#c0c0c0;font-weight:bold;">Cost (G)</td></tr>
<tr><td style="background-color:#dbdbdb;">l</td><td style="background-color:#e9e9e9;">Start</td></tr>
<tr><td style="background-color:#dbdbdb;">2</td><td style="background-color:#e9e9e9;">~</td></tr>
<tr><td style="background-color:#dbdbdb;">3</td><td style="background-color:#e9e9e9;">~</td></tr>
</table>
 
===Trick Boards===
The name, just like all the sets, says it all, this board is for tricks. It has Turn and Jump at a very high 5, but L1 only starts out with 2 speed, and with every level adds 2.
 
<table style="border:1px #c0c0c0 solid;">
<tr><td style="background-color:#c0c0c0;font-weight:bold;">Level</td><td style="background-color:#c0c0c0;font-weight:bold;">Cost (G)</td></tr>
<tr><td style="background-color:#dbdbdb;">l</td><td style="background-color:#e9e9e9;">Start</td></tr>
<tr><td style="background-color:#dbdbdb;">2</td><td style="background-color:#e9e9e9;">~</td></tr>
<tr><td style="background-color:#dbdbdb;">3</td><td style="background-color:#e9e9e9;">~</td></tr>
</table>
 
===Speed Boards===
Speed boards are made for speed, and it shows. This set has its Turn and Jump at 3, which makes it very hard to control, but L1 has its Speed at 4, and gains 2 more points every level.
 
<table style="border:1px #c0c0c0 solid;">
<tr><td style="background-color:#c0c0c0;font-weight:bold;">Level</td><td style="background-color:#c0c0c0;font-weight:bold;">Cost (G)</td></tr>
<tr><td style="background-color:#dbdbdb;">l</td><td style="background-color:#e9e9e9;">Start</td></tr>
<tr><td style="background-color:#dbdbdb;">2</td><td style="background-color:#e9e9e9;">~</td></tr>
<tr><td style="background-color:#dbdbdb;">3</td><td style="background-color:#e9e9e9;">~</td></tr>
