 Skitchin' (Video Game)
comment
Skitchin' was a rollerblading race and stunt video game from Electronic Arts released for the Sega Genesis in 1994.Similar to Road Rash, you control an inline skater who can hold onto the bumper of a passing car (hence the term "skitch") to gain a leg up in the competition. Other racers can also skitch on the same car as you, meaning you will have to fight them off. You can pick up weapons to protect yourself along the road ranging from metal pipes to stun rods.Finishing in fifth place or better gives you a cash reward, and it allows you to move onto the next course. You can use the money to buy improved safety gear or pay for hospital bills and tickets (as the races are illegal in-universe). You also earn bonus money for performing stunts, fighting your opponents and skitching police cars without getting arrested. Run out of money, and the game is over.At the risk of serious injury, readers are encouraged not to attempt any of the dangerous activities in this game.

It's a Wonderful Failure: Getting caught by the police treats you to a silhouette of your skater getting arrested. If you run out of health, your skater's shadow will appear on a hospital bed complete with an IV.

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard
 Skitchin' (Video Game) / int_6041e4f4
comment
The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Sometimes present in the Rubber-Band A.I. of the other racers where they are more competent than you at taking difficult turns, fighting or hanging onto bumpers. At the same time, it's averted as they are just as susceptible to knocking each other down and cars hitting them. As you progress, roughly every three stages, the computer racers will get a large, free bonus to their stamina and attack power. You do not get these bonuses.

Classic Cheat Code: Pressing B, A, Down, A, Start, Start in that order unlocks the ability to put in secret passwords. These include starting on later levels (PIZZA to start on Chicago, for example), changing your character's head or hairstyle (MOHAWK to get... you can guess), and getting items to use during races (THRASH for the most powerful weapons).
