Snowboard Kids 2 was a great N64 game. It was one of a number of racing titles inspired by Mario Kart, but the snowboarding added a bit of a different feel. The battle items were clever, and the stages were really well made given the technical limitations they faced. As a kid with two brothers, we played a lot of competitive multiplayer.

I also remember a few things in the singleplayer being very difficult. The number of times I had to fight/race Dameian in his giant robot running down the mountainside... It's carved into my brain like that footrace against Wizpig in DKR or the Donkey Kong arcade game for the Rareware coin in DK64.

The battle items in Snowboard Kids were clever and memorable. The parachute missile that would launch racers up in the air and then deploy the parachute so they slowly float back down was such a frustrating item to be hit with. The pans that would hit all opponents was iconic and it was hilarious that you could somehow doge it with invisibility. Even the basic rock dropped on the course was somehow memorable.

Great game. It's heartwarming to know that others still remember it and care about it.
