Snowboard Kids is a snowboarding racing game developed by Racdym and published by Atlus for the Nintendo 64, the first entry in the series. Often compared to Mario Kart, it has cartoon kids race down nine varied downhill courses — performing tricks, collecting coins to buy boards and upgrades, and firing item “Shots” to attack rivals. It supports up to four players.
