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

Nancy Neil
Age 10, Female, Trick Type

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.

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.

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.
| Level | Cost (G) |
| l | Start |
| 2 | ~ |
| 3 | ~ |
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.
| Level | Cost (G) |
| l | Start |
| 2 | ~ |
| 3 | ~ |
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.
| Level | Cost (G) |
| l | Start |
| 2 | ~ |
| 3 | ~ |
Special Boards
Poverty Board
A below par board which constantly drains your money, best avoided.
Feather Board
A board that always has great jump stats. Useful for tricks.
Ice Board
A reasonably fast board but has atrocious turning.
Star Board
The best all round board with good speed, turning and jumping.
Rich Board
An above average board which constantly increases money and so is often used to get money to buy other boards.
Dragon Board
A board that always has a rocket and wings attached, its similar to the ice board in that it has the worst turning in the game. You can get this board by beating the dinosaur in the Crazy Jungle stage in Expert Mode.
Ninja Board
A board that makes the player invincible. But very poor speed.
Charm Board
An above average board which prevents the player being hit with ghosts
High-Tech Board
A very good board which always has a fan attached.
