comment
Snowboard Kids is an action racing series produced by Atlus and Racjin debuting in 1997 on the Nintendo 64. While it didn't make much of a splash compared to similar first-party titles, the cute atmosphere and unique character designs were part of what helped it gain enough recognition to spawn two sequels - Snowboard Kids 2 and Snowboard Kids Plus (the latter released only in Japan for the PlayStation).Years of inactivity passed until 2005, when SBK: Snowboard Kids was announced out of the blue for the Nintendo DS. Unfortunately, this attempt at re-imagining the series to appeal to teenagers did poorly with both critics and the fanbase. Despite this, Atlus claims they haven't given up on the series yet, but only time will tell...

comment
Stealth Pun: The reason the characters have their characteristically large noses is because "nose" ("ノーズ") and "snow" ("スノー") are (phonetic) anagrams.

Personal Space Invader: The Ghosts, once deployed, will zero in on the opposing racer in the highest position and harass him or her. During this time, the afflicted character's top speed is halved. This can be stacked up to three times.

Honest Axe: Spoofed in one of the second game's Yonkoma. A hooded stranger approaches Linda and asks if the pan she dropped just then was gold or silver. She gleefully admits the former in hopes of having it returned; unfortunately for her, the stranger turns out to be a disgruntled Slash.

Purposefully Overpowered: The Dragon Board in 2. Your reward for beating the hardest challenge in the game (and that's saying something) is the ultimate power trip: A board with perfect speed and trick stats (if abysmal turning). Fly across every track in the game and revel in the Dragon Board's ridiculousness.

The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard: Good Lord, where do we start...the first game gets ridiculous by the last few courses due to unfair AI advantages and Shinobin. This is toned down in the second game, but Expert Mode brings back the omniscient AI just to taunt you.

Wake-Up Call Boss: in 2, Damien is this this in Ice Land. He is a master at using tricks to reflect your projectiles; you may have seen CPUs sparingly before, but never with the precision success Damien does. But it's the final level, so how is this a wake-up call? Well, after you beat this and the final boss, you have expert mode, where everyone is going to be pulling trick reflections on you. It will make Damien look like a warm-up.
