Walkthrough--------------------------- ==================================================================== ==================================================================== ---------------------------4.1 Peak 1------------------------------- ==================================================================== ==================================================================== - Snow Jam - ==================================================================== =================================== - Event - =================================== Race Your first run, and on one of the easiest tracks there is. The moment you start (if you don't have any boost do a trick to get some boost), use some boost so the other riders don't go too far ahead of you. Collect the boost and the cash then jump up from the jump. On the downhill slope you should use some more boost. If your not in first place by now, you should use more boost to catch up - especially now since there's a big downhill slope. Keep following the path (there's some more cash on the far right behind a tree). On this jump do a trick to gain boost, when you land start using boost for the slope, then weave through the trees (left then right). On the jumps ahead do some more tricks (simple tricks) to gain more boost, then use a lot of the boost to get far ahead of the other riders. There's some cash in front of the railing, and a quick boost on the right of the railing, continue going down the path (they'll be some cash in front of a tree on the right), dodge the trees, then when you see the jump up ahead use a lot of boost and jump, you should jump up high, if you don't jump stay in the middle to dodge the trees in the way. Up ahead is an intersection, go right for some cash and quick boost or go right for some more cash, either way you'll end up in the same area. You can use the trees or railing to do jumps for more boost, when you pass them use more boost. Continue following the path (there's some cash on the right then the left), up ahead is some more trees, use a bit of boost over them, then when you start going down use more boost to get further. Dodge the trees (more cash on the right), then use more boost to get up ahead, if your way ahead of the others you could probably just perform a trick into the finish line. =================================== - Big Challenges - =================================== -Challenge 1: Snowflakes Details: Collect 8/10 snowflakes on track Cash Earnings: 100 This is a pretty easy challenge, just go ahead past the jump, you should be going down a hill, on the ice part of the hill you should see a orange spinning thing - that's a snowflake, collect it. Continue on the path and you'll find another one, there are another two snowflakes behind that one. Go down the next hill to find another snowflake. Further up ahead on the track is another snowflake on the left, and then on the railing you should jump up and reach another two snowflakes. Up ahead one the left there's another, and then almost directly on the right is a snowflake. That's all of them. -Challenge 2: No Wipeouts Details: No wipeouts before the finish line Cash Earnings: 100 If you go slowly then this should be easy, but if you go fast this will be harder, I suggest going slowly -Challenge 3: 2x Combo Details: Complete a 2x Combo in this area. Cash Earnings: 100 This is pretty easy if you know your moves. Go up ahead to find a jump; you can do the combo here or on a bigger jump up next. There's no trick to this one, just know a good move to do it with. -Challenge 4: Minimum Speed Details: Maintain a minimum speed of 25mph to the finish line Cash Earnings: 200 -Challenge 5: Time Challenge Details: Race from this spot on the track to the finish line in 2:00 or less Cash Earnings: 200 If you've been doing lots of tricks and have plenty of boost this will be easy, follow the track while using boost a lot, you should make it with plenty of seconds to spare. If you don't have boost or anything, try to do some tricks on the board, you should get some boost then use the boost to beat the timer. -Challenge 6: No Airtime Details: Total less than 5 seconds of airtime to the finish line. Cash Earnings: 200 This challenge is easy if you don't do any jumps, just make sure you don't jump at all, or else you might lose this challenge. ==================================================================== - Disfunktion Junction - ==================================================================== =================================== - Event - =================================== Super Pipe Final Standings ____________________________________________ |Rank | Riders | 1st Run | 2nd Run | Score | | 1 | Viggo | 60,000 | 40,000 | 100,000 | | 2 | Elise | 40,000 | 50,000 | 90,000 | | 3 | Mac | 25,000 | 60,000 | 85,000 | | 4 | Moby | 50,000 | 25,000 | 75,000 | | 5 | Nate | 35,000 | 30,000 | 60,000 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Bonus Points: O Circle = 2,000 [] Square = 3,000 <> Diamond = 5,000 + Cross = 10,000 In this event you must score points by doing tricks, the higher the points the better. Use the half pipes to do complex tricks for more points. Collect the Bonus Points for a higher score. =================================== - Big Challenges - =================================== -Challenge 1: Points Challenge Details: Do tricks for 50,000 points or more on this track Cash Earnings: 150 This can be quite difficult if you don't any very many moves, if you've done the Event then this shouldn't be very hard. Otherwise do a lot of complex tricks on the half pipe to win. -Challenge 2: 2 Uber Tricks Details: Complete 2 Uber tricks before the finish line. Cash Earnings: 300 Use the half pipe for this. Check the Moves List for Uber Tricks. -Challenge 3: Big Airtime Details: Total more than 50 seconds of airtime before the finish line. Cash Earnings: 300 This can be really hard. Make sure you have a lot of boost for this one; quickly use up your boost then go onto either side of the half pipe then jump up, you should go quite high. This challenge takes a while to master - but it's possible, so keep trying. ==================================================================== - RNB - ==================================================================== =================================== - Event - =================================== Slopestyle Final Standings ____________________________________________ |Rank | Riders | 1st Run | 2nd Run | Score | | 1 | Viggo | 150,000 | 200,000 | 350,000 | | 2 | Mac | 165,000 | 160,000 | 330,000 | | 3 | Moby | 170,000 | 148,000 | 325,000 | | 4 | Nate | 175,000 | 125,000 | 318,000 | | 5 | Elise | 210,000 | 120,000 | 300,000 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Bonus Multipliers: Green X = x2 Trick Multiplier Blue X = x3 Trick Multiplier Red X = x5 Trick Multiplier Black X = x10 Trick Multiplier When you start quickly go ahead and stay to the left. You should see a railing with a Blue X on top, you can ignore that and go up the hill to the left of it, up here you'll find another railing, grind it then jump off to collect a Black X (do a combo while in the air, I won't say this all the time since it's an important factor of winning this event). When you land go up ahead and grind the log railing and jump up to get a Blue X. The next log railing you should use to do a small trick. You can use some Boost for a jump down the next slope (you'll get a green X). Follow the ice path to find some cash and at the end of the path is a jump with a Green and Blue X. If you can make the railing go up and collect the X, if not you can take the railing that goes over the hills to find a Green X. Up ahead is another log railing with a Green X. Continue following the path collecting the X's above the railings. Eventually you'll come to another path, do some individual tricks here until you get back onto the slopes. Get onto the railings and get the X. Continue on the path and get the Blue X above the railing. The rest of the slope will be trees and rocks then a nice clear path. Aim for more then 210,000 points. This can be easily achieved with some practice. My highest score is 413,133, so that's a good example. You'll have to repeat it a few more times, each new run has higher/lower points for some of the other players. =================================== - Big Challenges - =================================== -Challenge 1: Points Challenge Details: Do tricks for 100,000 points or more on this track Cash Earnings: 200 By now these should be easy. You should use some railing and do some complex tricks to achieve the 100,000 points. -Challenge 2: 4x Combo Details: Complete a 4x combo in this area Cash Earnings: 200 Use the jump directly in front of you (or another jump not far away) and do multiple easy tricks. -Challenge 3: 3 Uber Tricks Details: Complete 3 Uber tricks before the finish line Cash Earnings: 200 Again, using the railings this should be easy to achieve. -Challenge 4: Smashables Details: Hit all Smashables on the track Cash Earnings: 200 The smashables are large rectangular blue boxes with the SSX 3 logo. There are 10 Smashables on the track -Challenge 5: Big Airtime Details: Total more then 30 seconds of airtime to the finish line Cash Earnings: 100 You should use the railings then jump off to get a lot of airtime. When on the ground with no railings do some small jumps with only trick each. -Challenge 6: 4x Combo II Details: Complete a 4x combo on the next rail to the rail line Cash Earnings: 100 Immediately go onto the railing in front of you using boost and then jump at the edge of the railings and land onto the next railing (which is a log railing). ==================================================================== - Crows Nest - ==================================================================== =================================== - Event - =================================== Big Air Final Standings ___________________________________________ |Rank | Riders | 1st Run | 2nd Run | Score | | 1 | Viggo | 30,000 | 50,000 | 80,000 | | 2 | Elise | 40,000 | 35,000 | 75,000 | | 3 | Mac | 34,000 | 36,000 | 70,000 | | 4 | Moby | 20,000 | 40,000 | 60,000 | | 5 | Nate | 45,000 | 5,000 | 50,000 | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Bonus Points: O Green Circle = 2,000 [] Blue Square = 3,000 <> Red Diamond = 5,000 + Black Cross = 10,000 Upon starting get some Boost then do a simple trick or two, use the jump on the left for a more complex trick while collecting the Green Circle in the air. When you land you should get some cash, quickly grind up the railings then jump at the end of it to get a Red Diamond. Just after you land there should be a Green Cross on the right side of a bridge. Use the higher jump to get more air. Continue ahead then use up some Boost for the big jump in front of you, you should jump from the middle so you can easily get the Black Cross. When you land do a simple finishing trick and go through the finish line. =================================== - Big Challenges - =================================== -Challenge 1: Points Challenge Details: Do tricks for 30,000 points or more on this track Cash Earnings: 400 By now these should be easy. You should use a large jump and do some complex tricks to achieve the 30,000 points. -Challenge 2: Uber Details: Complete an Uber trick before the finish line Cash Earnings: 200 Use a large jump to do an Uber trick. -Challenge 3: Big Airtime Details: Total more than 12 seconds of airtime before the finish line Cash Earnings: 250 Use a lot of jumps for this one. If you can't find a large jump just do small individual jump which should give you about 1-3 seconds for each. ==================================================================== - Ruthless Ridge - ==================================================================== =================================== - Event - =================================== Race Tip: There is plenty of scenery in this level, keep a sharp eye for areas where you can dodge it. At the starting line use some Boost to catch up with the others then do a big jump, if you did a big enough jump you should go in first place. From there keep going ahead and try not to get too close to the other boarders (if your not in front) because they will slow you down a lot! Your first area of scenery, pretty easy just stay near the middle and keep going up ahead using small bits of boost. Don't do any tricks yet... Keep on boarding and dodging the trees, shrubs and rocks. Occasionally you might see some cash around, you can collect these if you want. Up ahead should be a mediocre jump, but enough for you to do some tricks. When you see a path (with orange fencing) going down very steeply, you should use some Boost then jump at the edge of the it, you should get a lot of air and skip some turns. Continue up ahead and go over the next jump, you should find a short Boost on the ground, you can use that onto the jump in front of it. Soon you should see another one of those steep paths, jump over it like before. the path should be narrower now, go up the railing then jump off it, you'll dodge a major hole and leave the others behind for a few seconds. you should land at the end of the narrow path with a Boost in front of you. In this area is some more scenery, after this is another narrow path that descents, but don't jump yet, instead just go down it, and almost right after that one is a very steep path, jump now and you should get about 4-8 seconds of air! When you land you should see a railing, quickly go onto it to jump over another big hole and into the finish line. =================================== - Big Challenges - =================================== -Challenge 1: Snowflakes Details: Collect 16/20 Snowflakes on the track Cash Earnings: 200 01.

But here are some tips: TIP: Stay near the middle of the track TIP: Use a lot of Boost TIP: Don't do tricks unless you're on a large jump TIP: Watch out for trees, shrubs, etc. =================================== - Big Challenges - =================================== -Challenge 1: Time Challenge Details: Race to the finish line in 3:30 or less Cash Earnings: 600 If you've done the normal race then this should be no problem. Otherwise: use some Boost to go down the hill then dodge the trees, keep using some Boost to zoom down the slopes. Dodge the trees then keep boosting, go over the jumps, dodge, then repeat (this level is too repetitive). -Challenge 2: Snowflakes Details: Collect 8/10 Snowflakes on the track Cash Earnings: 400 01.

Well there's a trick to this trick. Behind the trees are three rails, go on the first one then in the air do a trick and land on the second one, then do another trick, land on the third, do a trick then land. If you did this right then you should have done 8+ moves. ==================================================================== ---------------------------4.2 Peak 2------------------------------- ==================================================================== ==================================================================== - Metro City Breakdown - ==================================================================== =================================== - Event - =================================== Race Start with some Boost then collect the cash on the left and dodge the car, use some Boost then jump over the train tracks and continue. Stay on the left or right to stay away from the light poles. This part of the track is pretty linear. Eventually the track will split up into two parts, both don't matter which way you go, but the left path does have less boarders, so it's easier to go through it without being slowed down by the other boarders. once when the path joins up again you should be on a dirt track, the trick for this area is to stay on the inside of the walls (not literally), the term means to stay near the walls that are closest to the turn; this will cut off some seconds off your time and beat some other boarders. =================================== - Big Challenges - =================================== -Challenge 1: Time Challenge Details: Race to the finish line in 3:30 or less Cash Earnings: 700 If you've done the normal race then this should be no problem.

Thanks to Steven Abreu for finding that last BIG Challenge. ==================================================================== - Intimidator - ==================================================================== =================================== - Event - =================================== Race This track is all about Boost and speed. No time for any of those fancy tricks, because if you stop and do a small trick you will most likely lose. Remember no time for tricks. When you start hold Up the whole time (for speed) and do not let go of it. Follow the linear path down the steep slope collecting the cash. At the end of the path is a jump if you kept on holding down Up to do one or two Front flips, this will give you some Boost. Continue to hold down Up down his extremely steep slope. You'll go over some jumps and get more Boost, if you lose your spot just use some Boost to catch up. At the end of the linear rocky path is a jump, you can do a small complex trick to get a lot of Boost. When you land you should be in front of a Full Pipe (with some holes in the top), this area is basically the same as before but a bit more closed off. At the end of the Full Pipe is the last part of the small linear path. When the path is big again stay near the middle (you will most likely lose first place), use some Boost then later the path will go steep again, this is your chance to use a lot more Boost to regain your first place. Continue using more Boost and then dodge the trees, after the trees is the finish line. =================================== - Big Challenges - =================================== -Challenge 1: Time Challenge Details: Race to the finish line in 3:40 or less Cash Earnings: 2000 A lot like the normal race, just use more Boost if you don't feel safe with your times. -Challenge 2: Snowflakes Details: Collect 18/20 snowflakes on this track Cash Earnings: 750 01.

Another Rival Challenge, but unlike last time, this one is the mountains previous champion. I can't really give you any strategies on winning since it's all just skill, but I can tell you how to go through it: When you start you will see your rival zoom away, start your run and go over the jump, dodge the rocks, trees and bushes while using some Boost to get ahead. Continue dodging it all while going over the jumps doing tricks to get more Boost. That's about all for the track, keep using Boost, this track may take a while to master and win. =================================== - Big Challenges - =================================== -Challenge 1: Time Challenge Details: Race to the finish line in 3:15 or less Cash Earnings: 2000 Basically the same as the Rival Challenge, just go faster. -Challenge 2: Fill Super Uber Details: Complete 5 Super Uber Tricks before the finish line.

Uber: Hold L or R then press A or B along with a direction. Combos: Combos can be easily achieved by doing more then one trick at a time e.g. BS 180 Frontflip: Jump+<, ^ - Jump then hold Left, then while in air hold up, you can do combos with all the other moves. You can also do multiple combos if you have enough air. Below is a list of all moves I have found and recorded. Of course there are more moves, if you find any that are not listed here please e-mail it to me. NOTE: The BS and FS moves may have a large amount of spins, so I will only input 180. The other spins I have found are: 180, 360, 540, 720, 900, 1080, 1260 and 1620. To be able to do the other spins you must hold Left or Right longer. NOTE 2: Each move is in the air unless specified otherwise. The word Jump means to be in the air to do the trick. The word Jump will not be in it if I don't have enough room to put it in. _________________ ______________ _________________________________ |Name |Buttons |Description | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Backflip | Jump+\/ | Jump then hold Down | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | BS 180 | Jump+> | Jump then hold Right | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | BS 180 Indy | Jump+L+A+> | Jump then hold Right | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | BS 180 Seatbelt | L+A+>+\/ | Jump then hold L,A, Right & Down| |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Canadian Bacon | Jump+R+A+^ | Jump then hold R, A and Up | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Chicken Salad | Jump+R+B+^ | Jump then hold R, B and Up | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Clean Sweep | ??? | ??? | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Extended | ??? | ??? | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Flying Squirrel | L+A+^ | Jump, hold L, A and Up | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Frontflip | Jump+^ | Jump then hold Up | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | FS 180 | Jump+< | Jump then hold Left | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | FS 180 Seatbelt | L+A+<+\/ | Jump then hold L, A, Left & Down| |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Grinding | - | Board over some railing | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Iguana | Jump+L+B+^ | Jump then hold L, B and Up | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Melancholy | Jump+R+A+\/ | Jump then hold R, A and Down | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Misty Back | Jump+^+< | Jump then hold Up and Left | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Misty Front | Jump+^+> | Jump then hold Up and Right | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Nuclear | Jump+R+B+\/ | Jump then hold R, B and Down | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Rodeo Back | Jump+\/+< | Jump then hold Down and Left | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Rodeo Front | Jump+\/+> | Jump then hold Down and Right | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Seatbelt | Jump+L+A+\/ | Jump then hold L, A and Down | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Slob | Jump+L+B+\/ | Jump then hold L, B and Down | |-----------------|--------------|---------------------------------| | Springer | ??? | ??? | ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ ==================================================================== ---------------------------6.2 Shop Guide--------------------------- ==================================================================== =================================== - Attributes - =================================== You can purchase attributes to raise your player's power.
