The race
The countdown ends and seven riders go together: you and six AI rivals. Cut the corners and look for the hidden routes: Whiteout and Crystal Peak have four each. Your record stays next to the clock, and the finish screen tells you how many seconds you took off it.The tricks
Eleven grabs, from the Indy to the Rocket, each with a tweaked version. Spins up to a 1440, flips up to a quad, corks and rodeos. On rails you slide 50-50 or boardslide and hop from one rail to the next. Every trick added to a combo is worth 25% more if you land clean. A sketchy landing wipes the bonus; land too crooked and you crash.In Freestyle, every circuit sets three scores to beat: bronze, silver and gold.
Boost and Uber tricks
Your tricks fill the boost meter, and the same trick repeated earns less each time. With a full meter you get twenty seconds to pull an Uber trick: Superstar, Power Nap, Moon Hop or Paw Parade. Each Uber lights one letter of B-O-O-S-T. Light all five and your boost stops draining until the finish.Seven circuits, each with its own track
- Aurora Peak: a cave where the crystals light up as you pass.
- Powder Peak: a helicopter drop on the summit, then an abandoned mine and a crevassed glacier.
- Midnight City: the city at night, a jump over the tram, fireworks timed to the music.
- Sugar Rush: a torrent of molten chocolate and marshmallow fields that bounce you up.
- Ice Cathedral: the run goes through the nave of a gothic abbey, over an organ track.
- Whiteout: a 50 m kicker over a helicopter, then black ice in the blizzard.
- Crystal Peak: pink and cyan crystals all the way to a palace courtyard.
