Trick Boarder (released in Japan as Trickboarder GP) is a 2000 video game developed by Act Studio and published by Natsume for the Game Boy Color. The game is a snowboard racing video game in which player select one of eight characters to compete with other racers through nine downhill courses. Natsume adapted the engine of the game from the Game Boy Color version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, and showcased the game at E3 2000.[1] Upon release, Trick Boarder received mixed to negative reviews, with criticism directed at the game's lack of variety and faulting its visual presentation and flow of gameplay.
Game modes in Trick Boarder include 'Grand Prix', which combines all nine courses in which players compete with other onscreen racers, 'Time Trials', which allows players to meet the best time on a single course, or 'Multirace' in which players can race against a single computer opponent or another human player using the Game Link Cable. Races are completed from a top-down perspective in which players aim to complete the course in the fastest time whilst avoiding obstacles. Players can collect boost power-ups or grind over rails increase their speed. Tricks can also be completed from jumps and half pipes which add points that affect a player's rank in a race.[2]
