| ==Weapons (charatcer who loves the weapon)==
| |
| On each course, there are various red Shops on the course. If the player hits one, they buy a random weapon for 100 G.
| |
| ===Bomb (Slash)===
| |
| The bomb is a very accurate weapon which causes a small explosion when hitting another player or object. Because of the blast size, this weapon can be useful for targeting players grouped close together, although the user should be careful and only use it when the target is not close.
| |
| | |
| ===Slap Stick(Nancy)===
| |
| This weapon is extremely accurate and can travel around corners. It travels quite slowly and disappears on contact. When a player is hit with this, they stumble forwards.
| |
| | |
| ===Freeze Shot(Jam)===
| |
| The Freeze Shot temporarily stops and freezes the targeted player in a block of ice for around 3 seconds. The user should be careful not to be behind the target, because players who hit the block of ice fall over. When iced, move around or press the A Button repeatability
| |
| ===Snowman (Tommy)===
| |
| This weapon is extremely fast, but has low accuracy. When a player is hit, they temporarily turn into a snowman and are unable to turn. This weapon is most effective when used just before a large gap which the target can fall down.
| |
| ===Parachute (Linda)===
| |
| One of the most effective weapons in the game is the parachute. When a player is struck, they fly into the air and descend slowly, attached to a parachute until they reach the ground again. When used just before a large jump, the victim can take much longer to reach the ground.
| |
| | |
| ==Items (character who loves the items)==
| |
| Items are bought from blue Shops scattered throughout the courses.
| |
| ===Speed Fan (Tommy)===
| |
| This item causes a little fan to appear on the back of the user's snowboard roughly doubling the user's speed for around 7 seconds. It is best used on straighter parts of a course. Be careful not to hit walls while using the Speed Fan.
| |
| | |
| ===Pans (Linda)===
| |
| This item causes a pan to squash everyone else on the course, stopping them in their tracks for a few seconds. The pan does not work on players who are invisible or players who are in the chairlift. When smashed, move around and press the A Button rapidily to recover
| |
| | |
| ===Invisible Item (Slash)===
| |
| This item makes the user invisible, thus invincible to all dangers except rocks, tripping over penguins at Sunset Rock or crashing into the wall.
| |
| | |
| ===Rock (Jam)===
| |
| Anyone who hits a rocks falls over. When you're in the first and placing a rock near the lift, the person in 2nd will trip over the rock and may lose 2nd to another character.
| |
| | |
| ===Rat Face===
| |
| This is a very rare item. When used, the user steals everyone else's money. The Rat Face is better known as a mouse. Note that if they don't have much you don't get much.
| |
| | |
| ===Ghost (Nancy)===
| |
| This item is used to slow down the person in front, even if they are invisible. A player can receive more than one ghost, which cause them to slow down ever more. If the user is in first place, it slows down the person directly behind them. If the person in first is already the goal, it slows down the person in 2nd. If you're in 2nd, the person in 3rd will slow down.
