1.0 What is AirBoarder 64? + Glossary of Terms AAA
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
AirBoarder 64 is the ambitious, yet gone wrong, try to bring the Tony Hawk
gameplay into a future scenario where everyone's riding hover boards. They
look like snowboards, float above the ground and unfortunately control rather
bad. So you try your best to be the controlling part instead of the board and
either rack up lots of points, set time records or collect coins in five
levels. The only possibility of seeing another person on the track is to go
into 2-player mode. This game could have been really fun, but it's rather
frustrating, boring and in any aspect inferior to Tony Hawk's and Wave Race
e.g. On the other hand it's decent for a while with its one of a kind design
and it gets better as you play it. Shouldn't be that expensive anymore, so
you might pick it up with some other games. Just don't expect too much.
Stance - Stance means which foot is where you're heading.
Goofy - Goofy is one of the two possible Stances; in a Goofy your left foot
is at the front. The opposite is simply named Regular. Every trick
in this guide is explained for going regular style, so if you are
using the goofy stance you just have to replace any C Left with C
Right and vice versa.
Body Facing - This determines in which direction you are heading.
Fakie - Fakie is one of the kinds of body facing and it means to move into
the direction of the board's backside. The opposite is again called
Regular.
Lip - The lip is the highest point of a half-pipe or of anything similar.
Alpine - When a board is equally fast when using it the fakie way, it is a
free-style board. Otherwise it is called alpine, thus being fakie on
it makes you lose lots of speed.

2.0 Controls BBB
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The control scheme you see here is the standard setting; A, B and Z can be
freely set.
Control Stick: Change direction; move the stick down to brake.
C Buttons: Perform Tricks; press C Left or Right to determine which foot to
be in front and which end of the board to be the front and the
backside; C Up lets you grab poles and such.
A Button: Jump; the longer you hold A before jumping, the higher you go.
B Button: Use a turbo boost.
Z Button: Accelerate.
Control Pad Up / Down: Zoom out / in
L Button: Toggle map
R Button: The camera can be moved via the Control Stick
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
3.0 Performing Tricks CCC
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Besides getting used to the sloppy controls, the most important thing for
Street Work (the main mode of the game) is to know how to perform tricks. The
main place for scoring is high up in the air, so I'll begin with...
___________
Air Tricks:|
As the name already shows, these tricks are air-bound. While it is possible
to jump off a railing or even just off the ground and perform an air trick,
the real place to do this is at a ramp, a half- or quarter-pipe, or a high
platform. Hold the Jump Button for a few seconds, release it near the very
last moment you would normally stay on whatever you are floating over at the
moment, and hold the control stick into either direction to automatically
perform a Backflip, Frontflip, Backside or Frontside. The first 180 degree
will make the move count as a trick (not for flips though) and already give
you 180 points. Do not let the control stick go, to prolong the trick as long
as possible, since every 360 degrees you perform, will grant you 360 points.
Changing direction in mid-air doesn't give you any points, so for example
beginning with a full Backflip and turning it into a full Frontside makes for
a total of 360 points, as the game only counts the first trick.
I recommend using the Backside or the Frontside for the beginning. They have
the same value as the Flips, but they're easier to land safely. Once you feel
comfortable with the controls and the feel of the game, use the Backflip or
the Frontflip as these allow for way bigger degree amounts.
The meat of air tricks are those tricks controlled via the C buttons. Press
any C button in mid-air to either perform a Nosegrab (C Up), Tailgrab (C
Down), Indygrab (C Left or C Right) or a Melancholy (C Right or C Left). The
longer you hold the button, the longer is the trick and hence the more points
you get, but it's even better to hold the trick only for a short while and
create a combo with another one. The more tricks you add in a single jump,
the more points you rack up and it's more worthwhile than prolonging a single
trick for a whole jump.
The best thing to do in the air is to perform either a Back- or Frontflip
from beginning to ending and to add as many C-Button tricks as possible; Both
kinds of tricks can be combined not only one after another but also at the
same time. Do so. The time to stop your posing is, of course, when you've
come close to the ground again. Not landing on your board properly causes all
points earned in the last jump to go to waste.
Note that Flips and Sides do not fill up your boost meter whereas the other
Air Tricks do.
_______________
On-Road Tricks:|
These are performed while normally floating above solid ground with at least
medium speed. The "real" on-road tricks vary from character to character, so
you can find the button combinations in the characters section. The manual
actually names six actions as tricks, although they really don't give you any
points. Instead they help you with various more or less important actions as
listed here:
C Up : FS 180 Nollie: Switch from Fakie to Regular or vice versa.
C Down : Crouch : Well...crouch. ^^
C Right : Slip Slide : Switch from Goofy to Regular.
C Left : Switch Step : Switch from Regular to Goofy.
C Right + C Right: 90 degree Right Turn: Do you really need an explanation
for this? ;)
C Left + C Left : 90 degree Left Turn : See above.
Use the real on-road tricks whenever you are on your way to some easy-to-
reach place to gather some more points. Unfortunately they cannot be used for
combos.
An important thing to note is that you should hold the last button involved
in an on-road trick a bit. This way you are more likely to perform the trick
you want to, instead of e.g. switching your stance accidentally.
Later on in the game, after you have gotten a feel for the controls,
completely ignore on-road tricks and substitute them for simple air tricks on
the road.
___________
Lip Tricks:|
Before you get to know what these are, I want to suggest you already forget
about them. There is absolutely no reason whatsoever to use them. Seriously.
Anyway, Lip Tricks can be performed at the highest point of a half- or
quarter-pipe or something similar like a signboard. When doing one of these
you will hang on to the lip for as long as you want to. Since you always get
the same (low) amount of points without any possibility of building combos or
making these tricks more valuable, they only use up a possibility of jumping
up high and enjoying some Air Tricks. If you really, really, REALLY want to
use them, press the C Button when you begin driving upwards or a bit later:
Even if you start this a few seconds before reaching the lip you still do the
trick perfectly.
C Down : Alley McTwist: 500 points
C Right: Handplant : 500 points
C Left : Invert : 500 points
_______________
Oil Drum Trick:|
Jumping onto an oil drum both gives you 100 points and an automatic jump off
it that can be used to build a combo. Jumping onto a second drum adds up to
300 points, then 600 and 1000 for the fourth drum. Maybe it is possible to
jump onto a fifth one but I couldn't do it so far. While this trick certainly
isn't a top-notch possibility to reach a high score, you shouldn't completely
forget about it. When there are drums along your normal path: Use them. Also
if you are experienced enough to combine the drum jumping with a Pole Trick
or a Slide Trick you might get some neat points there. Mind you that it is
really difficult to build a combo with this trick and a pipe will always get
you more points, so use it only with a good opportunity at hand and with good
skills.
___________
Pole Trick:|
A Pole Trick is done by grabbing a pole via C Up. Just close in on one, drive
by closely and jump up before pressing the button. You will swing around the
pole (or whatever you grab onto) until you release the button but no matter
how long you do this you only get 300 points. Only do this in combination
with a Slide Trick and/or Oil Drum Trick.
____________
Slide Trick:|
Simply jump onto a railing or something similar and you will automatically do
a Slide Trick (usually called grinding). There is a number of different Slide
Tricks, but actually I have still to find out how to determine which one you
perform. Anyway, every one of these tricks only grants you either 100 or 200
points, so nothing that would arouse too much interest. Only use these in
combination with a Pole Trick and/or an Oil Drum Trick or when there is a
rail along your normal path.
_______
Tunnel:|
Crouch to drive under an obstacle and you will be richer by 250 points.
Nothing spectacular and it cannot be used in building combos, so only use it
when it doesn't make you lose time.

4.0 Characters DDD
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Here you can see every character's specific on-road tricks as well as any
info on the characters. Although one might think there would be major
differences between them, there aren't. They all play nearly the same. If
there are any differences they can be found in the description of a character.
If you have any info I might be missing, please feel free to send it in and I
will add it, giving you credit for it.
The poster that comes with the game states that Bobby can do nearly as much
tricks on fakie as on normal, but why? I mean, ok, both the manual and the
poster are full of misspellings and crude grammar, but this is simply down-
right false as every character can do any trick both on fakie and on normal
body-facing.

Is it just me or is this ugly pile of flesh meant to be a German character?
The Germany stereotype for games has often been an ugly guy making up for it
with his height and his muscles (like Hugo from Street Fighter Alpha 3 e.g.).
Also, I think the word on Genoce's jacket is meant to say "Welt" which is the
German term for "world". If my theory is correct, the name Genoce probably is
an allusion to the term genocide, hence the people at Human Entertainment
created just another German Nazi-character. *sigh*
Of course I might be making stuff up, but in my opinion this would make
perfect sense.

5.0 Boards EEE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Generally always go for the quicker boards. Acceleration is handy, too, but
speed can often be built up somewhere to compensate a poor acceleration,
whereas low max speed cannot. A high speed is essential for both getting good
times and for jumping higher to build larger combos. A free-style board is
nicer than an alpine one control-wise, of course, but when being given the
possibility of choosing between a free-style board and a slightly faster
alpine board, always go for the latter one. Furthermore a free-style board
might have the same speed rating as an Alpine board in the game, yet it is
slower in fact.
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
|Air Rider| Alpine + +Acceleration: C+ +Speed: C+ |
|---------O+++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ |
|Don't bother about this board. |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
|Wind Mill| Free-Style + +Acceleration: C+ +Speed: C+ |
|---------O+++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ |
|Don't bother about this board. |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
|Air Walker| Free-Style + +Acceleration: B+ +Speed: C+ |
|---------O++++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ |
|This is a decent choice for a beginner as it is free-style, thus easy to |
|handle. On the other hand it is way to slow to get big points so you really|
|should only use it to get used to the game. |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
|Scorpion| Alpine+ +Acceleration: B+ +Speed: B+ |
|--------O++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ |
|This is the best of the boards available from the get-go, simply as it has |
|the highest maximum speed and at the same time the best acceleration. In |
|addition it is alpine which makes it even faster by sacrificing a bit of |
|comfort. |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
|Crab Claws| Free-Style+ +Acceleration: B+ +Speed: B+ |
|----------O++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ |
|For an unlockable board, this is a pretty lame choice. While it seems to be|
|as good as Scorpion, yet even a Free-Style board, it really isn't. As I |
|mentioned in the introduction to this section Free-Style boards always are |
|slower than Alpine boards with the same speed rating. This makes the Crab |
|Claws only somewhat recommendable to use in areas with small half-pipes |
|like in the Lost Forest. Outside the Street Work mode there is no reason |
|whatsoever to use this board. |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
|Iron Plate| Free-Style+ +Acceleration: A+ +Speed: A+ |
|----------O++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ |
|Now this is one great board! It's extremely fast and it speeds up in no |
|time. The only down-side is its speed...sounds stupid? Well, what I mean by|
|that is that it takes quite some practice to get used to Iron Plate as |
|every move and turn feel pretty different than the slower boards. |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
|Parts| Alpine+ +Acceleration: A+ +Speed: S+ |
|-----O++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ |
|Woohoo! I'd choose Parts (pretty stupid name, but eh) over Iron Plate any |
|day of the week. It's a bit faster and its handling is a lot less awkward. |
|The only somewhat bad thing about Parts (besides the name of course) is |
|that it's an Alpine board, but on the other hand you should be experienced |
|enough to compensate that when you've unlocked this board. |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
|Sword| Alpine+ +Acceleration: S+ +Speed: S+ |
|-----O++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ |
|This is the last board you'll unlock in Airboarder 64, so what do you |
|it to be? Believe me: It's all that and more...but also a bit less. ^^ |
|Sword accelerates incredibly fast and its top speed even surpasses the |
|turbo boost speed of other boards. Plus, it doesn't control as extremely |
|directly as e.g. Iron Plate does. In fact it can be too slow in corners |
|sometimes, but you can make up for it by steering cleverly. One really bad |
|thing about Sword, though, is its fakie speed. Never ever use this board |
|the fakie way. |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
Boards that can be unlocked by using a button combination:
==========================================================
I really don't get why these four boards are rated S in both categories. They
don't accelerate all that great and they surely don't have a great maximum
speed. At least each of them has an interesting special ability...which still
doesn't make any one of them worthwhile. Sword is way better than any of
these special boards.
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
|Ika-Chu| Alpine+ +Acceleration: S+ +Speed: S+ |
|-------O++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ |
|Ika-Chu (not affiliated with Pikachu...at least as far as I can tell ;)) |
|offers an incredible jumping ability in combination with a double-jump. |
|Simply press A again in mid-air. |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
|Father| Free-Style+ +Acceleration: S+ +Speed: S+ |
|------O++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ |
|This is pretty similar to Ika-Chu: It hasn't got a great speed, but it can |
|jump really high. Father is even a bit better than Ika-Chu, since it is a |
|Free-Style board and since you will slowly float back down after a jump, |
|allowing your for longer jumps and hence for bigger combos. |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
|J-B| Free-Style+ +Acceleration: S+ +Speed: S+ |
|---O++++++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ |
|Terrible, just plain terrible. This board is slow and has a rather crappy |
|special ability: Press A and B at the same time to jump really high. |
|Unfortunately, though, this will waste a nitro. The only good aspect might |
|be its controls as it converts your controller input into actual moves |
|extremely quickly. Sadly, though, Iron Plate also does and it is a lot |
|faster. |
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
O---------------------------------------------------------------------------O
|J-Arm| Alpine+ +Acceleration: S+ +Speed: S+ |
|-----O++++++++ +++++++++++++++++ ++++++++++ |
|The first one to tell me why this board has got an S rank for speed, wins a|
|date with Hilda. Seriously, J-Arm accelerates nicely, but makes a maximum |
|of, let's say 80 km/h. The special thing about this board is that the boost|
|meter fills up automatically, allowing for nearly a permanent use of |
|nitros. While this sure sounds nice, it doesn't make the board worthwhile. |
|Even when boosting, J-Arm isn't faster than Sword and it also accelerates |
|a bit slower. Furthermore you still can boost when using Sword, making it |
|even better in comparison to J-Arm. |

6.0 Street Work FFF
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In Street Work you need to score points by performing tricks. Depending on
how many points you get, you are awarded a rank; either C (0 - 14,999 pts.)
or B (15,000 - 19,999 pts.) or A (20,000 - 39,999 pts.) or S (40,000+ pts.).
Getting an A (or an S) in a level unlocks the next difficulty setting for
that track. Reaching a checkpoint grants you precious time on your countdown
before a run ends. The order in which you come across these is left to you,
but there's always an optimal one which you should either find out or simply
take from this guide. After going through the last yellow circle, the run
ends automatically and you are given 100 points for every second that's left
on your timer. As there are better ways to rack up points in the time you
have left, I'd say you better leave out the last checkpoint.
Sticking to my guide will earn you an S ranking for every stage (and most
often even way more than the required 40,000 pts.). To get an A you can leave
out lots of tricks mentioned here. Just don't worry: The game seems
overwhelmingly hard at the beginning (mainly because of its controls) but it
isn't in fact.
When you get to a checkpoint and you still have some time left, position
yourself in a way that you can use the checkpoint and don't need to turn or
break afterwards in order to reach your next destination.
I'll tell you where to use on-road tricks in the first few stages, but not
throughout the whole Street Work mode, since you should get a feeling for the
controls and such, so you can see for yourself where to use 'em (basically
everywhere).
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-6.1 Green Park-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-FF1
_____________
Green Park 1:|
Drive down the ramp (without a power start) and jump high up into the air
where you perform a 5 or 6 trick combo. Try to land on the water fountain as
it heaves you back up for a short while so you can prolong the combo a bit.
Turn around and drive back up to the starting place (use a turbo boost to
quicken this) and use the ramp again for an equally long combo as at the
beginning.
You should have at least about 10,000 points now.
Move to the first checkpoint and drive through the fountain to be lift up,
allowing for a Flip. Drive up the stairs and perform a few on-road tricks on
the way until you reach the half-pipe. Perform at least two air tricks-combos
here before moving on. Building up on decent speed in the pipe is essential,
so you better concentrate on speeding up and on two really good combos
instead of trying to hard to do three combos.
You should have at least about 18,000 points now.
Get out of the ramp and move on to checkpoint #2 before using the quarter
pipes in the background. Stay here for the rest of the level.
_____________
Green Park 2:|
Again, ride down the ramp, but steer to the left or to the right so you won't
hit the fountain and the checkpoint behind it after landing your 5,000 points
jump. Get back up to the starting position and repeat. This time fly straight
to the fountain to reach the checkpoint with a total of about 10,000 to
11,000 points.
Follow the track while performing a few on-road tricks, skip the big half-
pipe and go to the long half-pipe section where the next checkpoint awaits.
Use the half-pipe to rack up as many points as possible, always keeping an
eye on the time left. Once you're down to about 10 seconds, go to the
checkpoint.
From now on it's just you and the pipes: Make big points and have fun.
_____________
Green Park 3:|
In your final points-seeking venture into the Green Park you only need to
ride down the large ramp once. Make good use of it by getting about 5,500 to
7,000 points. Go straight to the near-by checkpoint (don't forget those on-
road tricks!).
Completely skip the large half-pipe by simply riding through it once and use
the pipe-area behind it for the rest of the stage. Jump high up for a 5,500
points combo, land, ride under the railings and jump up again at the other
side. Repeat this until you have about 12-15 seconds left, then get to the
second checkpoint right up the stairs and get back to the pipe-area to go on
as before.
It is tempting to take a left at the beginning of the stage, thus skipping
the large ramp, but don't do it.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-6.2 Lost Forest-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=FF2
______________
Lost Forest 1:|
Drive ahead and turn a few degrees to the right. Jump off a few feet before
the end of the platform and do a combo worth about 3,000 points. Ignore the
large cave and the pyramid. You can't make big points here and you need quite
some time to reach the next checkpoint even by directly aiming at it. Do an
on-road trick while following the tunnel. Jump down thrice, each time
performing a simple air trick worth about 450 points. Move along the way,
while doing lots of on-road tricks, until you reach a small cave with the
first checkpoint. Instead of activating it just yet, drive up the walls twice
to score 2,000 points.
Now skate through the yellow ring, use a few on-road tricks and ride on the
river outside. Follow it to the left. Get up again at the first wooden pole
on the right side. Here you have enough space to ride up the hill, jumping
high up and scoring 2,000 points over and over again until you have around 15
seconds left on the clock. If you are to low on time to reach the checkpoint,
that's the grand moment of the turbo boost. Otherwise do some on-road tricks
on the way.
Go up the hills and climb the tree stump giving you the chance to get inside
the wooden half-pipe. Stay in the small section before the checkpoint and get
some precious air-time until you need to fill up your timer.
Go on using the half-pipe for some neat combos, but move on while doing so to
have the last relevant checkpoint close-by. When the timer is down to about
15 leave the half-pipe and boost to the checkpoint.
Return by using another boost and enjoy the half-pipe for the rest of the
level.
______________
Lost Forest 2:|
Up to the second checkpoint Lost Forest 2 should be approached the same way
as Lost Forest 1.
Then activate the second checkpoint which is a bit further away than in the
previous stage.
Get back to the place you just built some nice combos and go on as before.
When the timer is down to about 30 seconds, drive up the steep hill a bit
more to the left and jump off a few feet below the peak, pulling the control
stick back all the time. A true aim will get you onto one of the wooden
platforms from where you can reach the next checkpoint. This requires quite
some practice and since it really is hard to pull of, you might want to
choose this one as being your second checkpoint instead of the third one. If
you fail reaching it, you don't have to repeat that much this way.
Again, go back to the hill section you used to score big time and do some
more combos. At about 30 seconds left, you better get moving to the left.
While doing this, use the hill for two more combos on the way. Ride to the
end of the river valley and fill up the timer at the upper end of the ramp.
Go down the ramp and make a small leap by steering to the right, although it
seems tempting to make full use of the ramp. Jumping straight off will only
let you hug the wall, so refrain from doing it. Cross the small bridge, move
up the ramp and enter the wooden half-pipe where you stay until you've got
about 20-25 seconds left.
Go to the next checkpoint, return to the half-pipe and use the last minute to
your favor.
Please note that obtaining an S ranking in this level is extremely easy. You
can even fulfil this task by reaching only two checkpoints, although there
are five in total (not counting the worthless last one). So if reaching any
checkpoint is too much of a hassle for you, don't bother activating it and go
to another one.
______________
Lost Forest 3:|
Act the same way as in Lost Forest 1 and 2 up to the first checkpoint.
Then ride into the fossil of some big and (fortunately) long dead creature
where the best you can do is to perform as many single air tricks as possible.
Given the second checkpoint is close-by you don't need to put a lot of
thought into when to approach it. Simply go there when you're down to about
10 seconds or less.
The next area is a bit better in terms of combo building: Ignore the ramps
and carry out a lot of 2 tricks combos by riding up the wall and jumping off
of them. As before, close in on the checkpoint when you've got 10 seconds or
so left.
Stay here a little longer and do the same as before: Go up the walls and do 2
tricks combos. You might also do so on the ramps, but there's no need to.
Leave the cave at about 15 seconds left and carefully cross the bridge, so
you don't bounce off it, and clear the fourth checkpoint.
You know what to do next, right? Ride to the wooden half-pipe and show off
some nice combos. Leave that place at about 20-25 seconds left and activate
the second-to-last checkpoint.
Return to the half-pipe, do some more combos until you're down to about 30-35
seconds and steer into the small, not that lost at all, forest where the last
important checkpoint awaits.
Get back to the wooden half-pipe and bring the level to a point-loaded end.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=6.3 Snow Festival '64=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=FF3
____________________
Snow Festival '64 1:|
This city-based level is a real feast for the eyes with a reproduction of the
Tokyo Tower, a big area for you to explore and some neat moving objects like
the monorail. Unfortunately, though, the only place allowing for big combos
is a double-ramp construction in the centre of the stage. The remaining city
ground only serves as a connection between the ramp and the various
checkpoints.
Luckily, you start right in front of the crucial ramp, so start by heading to
it and jumping high up. Perform a 6 trick combo (for about 6,000 points)
every time you are in midair over the ramp. After landing steer to the left
of the temple and use a turbo boost to quickly reach the checkpoint that's
far-off in the yard of some red building.
Get back to the ramps and do three more 6 trick combos before riding to the
checkpoint at the igloo-meets-icy-quarter-pipes area.
Return to the ramps again for three more combos. Then activate the near-by
checkpoint.
Guess what: Use the ramps a few more times until your time runs out.
____________________
Snow Festival '64 2:|
Just like in the first run on this map you need to head for the high ramp
first (and do a 6,000 points combo as always when leaping off it) and
continue towards the furthest checkpoint. Follow the street to the left of
the ramp, take a left at the end of the street and then a quick right. Jump
over the fence and through the yellow circle.
Turn around, use a turbo boost and jump off the snow pile at the pond to get
back onto the street. Head for the ramps again and perform 3 combos. Now turn
right and aim for the checkpoint at the end of the street. Check the
countdown to see if you need a turbo or if you can reach it by normal means
in combination with some on-road tricks.
Return to the ramps and carry out 4 more combos, before steering to the left
side of the Tokyo Tower. Take aim and jump into the checkpoint which floats a
few feet above a snow pile.
With a bit of luck and skill you can turn in mid-air, with your front-side
aiming at the ramp, bouncing off the invincible wall to get a free boost.
Otherwise simply use one of your own nitros (or whatever they are). In any
case you should do three more combos before turning right and proceeding to
the small subway station entrance next to the checkpoint. Ride it up to reach
the time-giving goodie.
As you might have guessed you should return to the ramps one more time and
make as many points as possible in the remaining time.
____________________
Snow Festival '64 3:|
Stay on one spot and repeatedly do simple air tricks for about 12 seconds.
Ride up the good old ramp to reach the checkpoint as well as to perform a six
trick combo.
Repeat this jump twice, then do not turn around and instead follow the street
and take a left at the first intersection and then a right turn at the next
one. Ride up the building to your left and jump through the checkpoint back
onto the street.
Return to the ramp (use a turbo boost to speed things up) and perform two
airborne combos before steering off to the right side of the temple and
straight to a subway station entrance that's necessary to reach the third
checkpoint.
Boost back to the ramp and carry out two combos. Turn left, follow the street
a few yards and take a right until you reach the building with the next
yellow ring floating high up. Drive up the wall and jump into the ring back
onto another street.
Boost again to make a quick return to the ramp where you should do... how
many combos? Two, correct. Now move along the left wall of the temple and get
into the igloo behind it where the second-to-last checkpoint awaits.
Use one last boost to reach the ramp in time for three more combos before
activating the near-by checkpoint.
From now on it's just jumping high and scoring really high. No more
checkpoint hassle. Yeah, I know there are still two checkpoints left, but you
don't want to deal with them. Trust me on this. The one on a roof relatively
close-by is neat to have, but it is plain unfair to reach, because of the
fence all around the roof. Sometimes you are lucky and land on the fence so
you can grind a bit and jump off as you will, but most of the time you will
only fall down the building. The other remaining yellow circle is far-, far-
off AND also hard to reach. Obtaining an S ranking is easy even without them,
so don't bother.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=6.4 Sunset Island=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=FF4
________________
Sunset Island 1:|
Boost off the small platform (either with a turbo start or via nitro) and
ride up the hill to your right. Go to the ramp area and perform two combos,
each worth about 5,000 points. Then leave the area by hopping over the ramp
and get to the first checkpoint.
Choosing your path from here on is the most important factor in this stage.
Usually you would think, following the road across the bridge and into the
tunnel to the next checkpoint would be the right thing to do, but it isn't:
The path there is very long and it offers nearly no possibilities for racking
up points. Instead jump off the bridge to the left (don't do this at home)
and perform combos on the two wooden ramps in the ocean. When approaching
them, steer off a bit to either side, so you don't land on the other ramp,
thus endangering your combo. The best possible combo here consists of five
tricks (worth about 5,000 points), yet don't overdo it; doing four-tricks
combos is way easier here, especially as the orange water makes it hard to
see how high you still are. When you're down to about 20 seconds, leave the
ramps behind and aim for the island up ahead, where you ride up the bridge
and touch the next checkpoint. You might need to use a turbo boost.
Return to the ramps in the water and go on as before until you have 15
seconds left on the clock. Move to the island again and use the third
checkpoint.
Get back to the ramps and try to make as many points as possible until the
stage ends.
________________
Sunset Island 2:|
Like before, boost up the hill, but this time you can even perform three
combos (although it makes reaching the first checkpoint a close call).
Afterwards jump back down where you came from and boost towards the
checkpoint on the beach.
Return to the ramp area on top of the hill and execute four 5,000 points-
combos. Again, jump down to the left. Then move to the opposite side of the
hotel and ride up its wall to reach the second yellow circle floating in the
air.
Return one last time to the ramp area and collect points until your timer is
down to 15-20 seconds. Leave the hilltop by jumping down at the right end of
the ramps, but watch out not to jump too far, since you need to land on the
street. Drive through the third checkpoint.
Hop over the bridge railing to the left and perform 5-trick-combos on the
wooden ramps in the ocean, like you did in Sunset Island 1. The next
checkpoint is close to where the last one was in the previous stage, but it's
a bit harder to reach. Because of this, get on your way there once you've got
15-20 seconds left, use a turbo boost if necessary and hold A pretty long to
make it on top of the first hut where the next time spender lies.
Carry out some more neat combos on the wooden ramps and start heading for the
last checkpoint when you're down to about 20-25 seconds. Remember the bridge
I told you to ignore in stage 1? Ride beneath it and use some nitros to reach
the checkpoint awaiting you on a small hill with a big sign on it.
Afterwards, return to the two ramps in the water (the single one that's near-
by isn't worth your time) and get some more points.
________________
Sunset Island 3:|
Boost up the hill to your right and do three 5-trick combos on the ramps,
then jump through the first checkpoint and perform another combo while you're
at it.
Stay in this area and carry out some more combos until you're down to 20
seconds. Jump down the hill to the left of the ramps and follow the road
until it splits up. Hop onto the small yellow-black railing in the centre and
drive down into the opening. It is crucial not to be to fast or to slow, so
you fall directly through the checkpoint. You better practice this a few
times before attempting to do a good complete run through this stage.
Ride to the two wooden ramps in the ocean and perform lots of 5-tricks combos
like in the previous two stages. About ten seconds ought to be enough to
reach the yellow circle between the ramps.
Go on doing combos and leave towards the island with the ramp leading up to
the road when you've got 20-25 seconds left. Move along the road and clear
the next checkpoint.
Return to the ramps and continue performing five-trick combos. When you're
down to 20 seconds, ride under the bridge, left to the hotel island, and get
to the next checkpoint.
Do as before until the timer says 30 seconds. Now move the same way as when
aiming for the previous checkpoint, but go further. Jump up onto the pole
platform and drive up the hut to reach the last relevant checkpoint.
Return to the watery ramps and drive up your score a bit more before the
level ends.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-6.5 Giant House-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=FF5
The Giant House is nice in terms of exploration and neat little gimmicks like
cookies, but gameplay-wise...it's abysmal in my opinion. It is very well
possible to get lots of points here; unfortunately only by ignoring elements
like ramps and pipes. These are set so poorly within the level that you most
likely hit a wall, a cupboard, the bed or anything else in case you want to
use them. Instead you need to use the walls for good combos.
______________
Giant House 1:|
Boost down the long blue ramp and jump high to land a five-trick combo on the
sideboard. Then skate to the right and up the wall next to the sideboard.
Jump off the wall well below the ceiling and perform a five-trick combo. This
requires both tight trick performance and the right timing for the jump, but
it's by far the most important move you're going to do in this level.
Continue doing this until you're down to ten seconds before steering to the
checkpoint on your left.
Do some more combos on the same wall once again until you've got ten seconds
left, then use the checkpoint under the bed.
Skate to the mouse hole in the opposite wall and enter the kitchen. Make a
right and perform a few more five-trick combos on the wall. When the timer is
down to ten seconds, proceed to the yellow ring under the table.
Enter the next mouse hole and enter the corridor. Drive up the wall to the
left of the door (but still the same wall the door is in) and carry out some
more combos. The last relevant checkpoint also should be aimed at once you've
got ten seconds left.
Continue doing combos on the wall left of the door.
______________
Giant House 2:|
Boost off to the right of the blue ramp, jump down and home in directly on
the wall you used in the last stage to perform combos. Do some 5-trick combos
until the timer says 20 seconds. Then either use the wooden block on the
right as a ramp or drive up the right wall. Both ways should get you to the
first checkpoint located on the shelf beneath the window.
Return to the left wall and carry out combos until you're down to 15-20
seconds. Now ride up the wall again, but don't jump off it this time. Instead
ride down on the left so you land on the sideboard where the next checkpoint
awaits you.
Do two more combos before entering the mouse hole on the opposite wall. When
you've entered the kitchen, jump onto the table and make some points via easy
air tricks prior to touching the checkpoint.
Ride through the ring and keep moving in that direction to drive up the wall,
enabling you to perform some more 5-trick combos. When you've only got about
15 seconds left ride up the left wall and enter the window opening to reach
the next checkpoint.
Ride through the next mouse hole and use the same wall as in the previous
wall for another set of combos. Ten seconds are more than sufficient to get
to the last checkpoint in time.
Return to the wall you just used for combos and make some more points until
you're out of time.
______________
Giant House 3:|
Like before, boost past the blue ramp to the right and perform one combo on
the opposite wall. Right after that quickly move to the checkpoint at the end
of the blue ramp and jump through it.
Get to the often-used wall and execute five-trick combos until you're down to
20 seconds. Ride up the wall again and let yourself fall onto the bed where
you find the second checkpoint.
Go on as before until you're down to 10-15 seconds. Skate to the shelves on
the right and don't worry upon seeing the checkpoint on the mid-level shelf:
You don't need to find a way to get up there in time, just ride onto the
lowest shelf and jump through the lower end of the yellow circle.
Do one more combo before entering the near-by mouse hole rather than (as
before) the one on the opposite wall. Once you've reached the corridor get up
the cupboard and ride down the railing to activate the next checkpoint.
Perform lots of five-trick combos on the wall to your left, then (when being
down to about 10-15 seconds) move in on the next checkpoint to the left.
Afterwards leave the room through the other mouse hole and try your best to
perform a few combos inside the kitchen until you've got 20 seconds left.
Ride towards the small set of stairs, climb them by skating up the wall
besides them, and get up to the sink unit in which you'll find the last
checkpoint.
Get back to the area with the table and perform as many combos on the walls
as possible until the stage ends.
Congratulations: You've just beaten Street Work mode. ^^
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
7.0 Time Attack GGG
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Time Attack is self-explaining...no, you don't get attacked by time. You're
one of the funny kind, right? Ok, getting back to being serious. ^^
In Time Attack you have to pass a few checkpoints as quickly as possible,
since only your time matters in the end. Unlike Street Work the order in
which you pass the checkpoints is mandatory.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-7.1 Green Park-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-GG1
_____________
Green Park 1:|
This is an easy one: At the beginning just press the Acceleration button when
the word Go appears. This will boost you down the ramp, guide you through the
first checkpoint, across the spring well and onto the railing.
Now it's time to press the second button already. Woohoo! Hop off the railing
by pressing left once. Boost towards the half-pipe, ride down and up right
into the second checkpoint.
Take a left, boost through the pipe area left of the railing, take a left
again at the end and boost towards the finish. Ignore the set of stairs near
the pipe area or else you'll only waste precious time.
_____________
Green Park 2:|
Do exactly the same as in the previous stage and you should have no problem
getting a good time on this one.
_____________
Green Park 3:|
Up to the long ramp-area you need to do the exact same manoeuvres as in the
other two Green Park stages. Then, however, take a left in the middle of this
area and ride up the stairs (to the left of the railing) to reach the second
checkpoint. Stay on the left side of the railings, skate up the second set of
stairs and boost to the left to find the finish.
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-7.2 Lost Forest-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=GG2
______________
Lost Forest 1:|
Do not use a turbo start, but steer a few degrees to the right with normal
speed. Drop off the platform and show a few tricks on your way down to fill
up the turbo meter. Use a turbo boost and jump up in combination with a few
tricks while riding along the tunnel. Once you're on the lowest level, turn
right and ignite another turbo. In the next somewhat larger hall take another
right to reach the first checkpoint.
Skate up to catch the first rays of day light and immediately steer a few
feet to the right so you can move over the bridge and activate the second
checkpoint.
Ride up the two hills ahead, but watch out for the checkpoint which lies
close-by at the top.
Do not climb up the tree stump. Instead skate on the solid ground left to the
wooden half-pipe, use your last turbo boost, perform a few easy tricks to get
another turbo and go for the next checkpoint at the end of the passage.
Move on into the forest and stay left as you have to take a left turn shortly
after. Now use the fourth boost and get to the goal up ahead.
______________
Lost Forest 2:|
Up to the first checkpoint, the suggested path is absolutely the same.
Then take a left after leaving the cave and ride through the checkpoint and
up the wooden stairs.
Somehow, though, you'll be pushed back as if you would have hit a wall. Don't
get startled by that, just keep on trying to get up the stairs. On your
second you should succeed in that. Move along the walkway and eventually it
will go down to the left. Take a left at that point, but rather than skating
down you ought to jump over the railing and land on the other walkway on the
right. Here lies the third checkpoint.
Move on to the next platform, go around the pole on the left side and boost
through the next walkway. Soon you approach a ramp going down to the next
checkpoint.
After crossing the checkpoint jump up and onto the solid ground in
combination with an air trick, but don't jump too late or else you will jump
way too high and crash into the wall. Turn right, boost over the short bridge
and reach the second-to-last checkpoint.
Enter the forest section and keep left as you need to take a left corner.
Then stay on the right side in the trench and proceed to the large hall with
the giant tree. Here you'll have to go right a few seconds and drive into a
small opening in the tree to find the goal.
______________
Lost Forest 3:|
Do not use a turbo start, but steer a few degrees to the right with normal
speed. Drop off the platform and show a few tricks on your way down to fill
up the turbo meter. This time around, do not use a turbo, but only ride on
and do a few tricks on your way down. Then turn right and use a nitro. In
this stage the first checkpoint is not on the right in the small cavern, but
on the left.
Move on until you can see the second checkpoint. Now it's time to use the
second boost.
Again, move on and ignore all ramps and grinding places as they would only
waste time. Follow the trick until you see the third checkpoint floating on a
ramp. Skate up on it without jumping off. Simply drop down instead or else
you might risk losing a lot of time by either crashing into the ceiling or by
bouncing off the ramp.
Pass up on the second ramp and ignite a turbo to quickly leave the cave and
reach the next red ring lying behind a narrow bridge.
When you've skated through it, watch out for the little bush behind it.
Either steer off to the right a bit or simply jump over it. Cross the next
bridge and get to the checkpoint awaiting you up ahead on the left at the
entrance to the forest.
Enter the forest and keep left as you did in the previous stages. Use the
fourth boost upon entering the trench and clear the next checkpoint on your
way.
Proceed a few feet and you'll already reach the second-to-last checkpoint.
Now comes the tricky part: Ride up the walkway leading around the giant tree
and try your best not to hit the railing or the tree. To do this you'll have
to practice a bit so you know how hard you have to hit the control stick and
where you have to start steering. Near the top is an opening on the left in
which the goal lies.

Snow Festival '64 1:|
Make a turbo start and move right directly after passing the subway entrance
to reach the first checkpoint.
Follow the road and take a left at the first intersection. Use a turbo to
quickly reach the second checkpoint lying right on the street.
Then take a right at the next intersection and use another boost to get to
the next checkpoint.
Advance further and jump over the fence into the big yard. Now use your last
nitro and race to the goal which lies in front of the building.
____________________
Snow Festival '64 2:|
Do not use a turbo start, since you need to reach a checkpoint behind your
starting position. Turn right immediately and ride around the big block on
which the Tokyo Tower stands. On the other side you'll find the first red
ring.
Go on so you ride around the Tokyo Tower once and use a turbo boost on your
way. Jump up the high ramp ahead to both clear a checkpoint and perform lots
of tricks.
Turn right to hit the street on which you turn left to reach a subway
entrance. Use it as a ramp but do not press the Jump button unless you want
to jump over the checkpoint.
Now hop over the fence and go to the fourth checkpoint which floats in front
of the building ahead.
Turn around, use a turbo and jump back over the fence. Take a right and then
a left at the first intersection and ignite another boost to get to the next
red ring.
Take a left and use your last nitro to quickly reach the icy half-pipe where
the goal lies.
____________________
Snow Festival '64 3:|
Employ a turbo start and jump up the ramp to both clear the first checkpoint
and perform lots of tricks.
Follow the street on the left, ignite a turbo and jump through the next
checkpoint.
Now turn left and make use of the narrow path between the buildings to reach
another street. Move along it to the left and take a left at the intersection.
You can already see the third checkpoint but also a red car coming directly
for you. Use your second turbo and jump over the car and through the red ring.
Ride past the icy half-pipe and turn around. You'll need to jump up the
backside of the pipe close to the lantern. Do so and activate the fourth
checkpoint.
Move to the other backside of the pipe and repeat the jump to clear the next
red ring.
Next, get back onto the street that's going parallel to the pipe and boost
left to close in on the next checkpoint. Take a right behind the building and
jump up to reach it.
Move on between the high building in front of you and the fence to your right.
Once you hit the street, turn left and skate up the building. Try to get
beneath the checkpoint and jump up high to clear it.
When you're back down on solid ground use your fifth boost and ride up the
subway entrance next to the start to reach the goal.

________________
Sunset Island 1:|
This one's extremely straight forward; the only crucial aspects are where to
boost and where to do tricks so you can fill up your boost meter once.
Start off with a turbo boost and clear the first checkpoint. Easy.
Follow the slope to the second checkpoint. Exciting...right?...
Next, enter the right side of the road when it splits up and use all of your
turbos to quickly reach the third checkpoint already.
Keep following the road and do a jump at the short down-hill section. During
this jump you should perform one or two tricks. Take a left inside the tunnel
and activate the next checkpoint.
This time take a right at the split-up and make good use of both jumping pads
to get another nitro before riding through the previous-to-last checkpoint.
Turn left, ignite the nitro and race to the goal.

Sunset Island 2:|
The second time attack in the tropical paradise is also pretty easy to beat.
The optimal path is both easy to figure out and to stick to.
Make a turbo start and skate up the slope until the railing on the right side
begins. Now jump down to the right and clear the first checkpoint.
Turn right, hop over the railing onto the ocean and boost towards the second
checkpoint which can be easily found by looking at the mini map in the lower
left corner of the screen.
Turn left and aim for the wooden ramp instead of the next red ring. Use it
for a great jump in combination with lots of tricks. Then you can (and ought
to) go for the next checkpoint.
From now on all you have to do is locate the next checkpoint by checking the
mini map and directly aim for it as there are no obstacles that need to be
evaded. Time your remaining three boosts well and you shouldn't have the
slightest problems here.
________________
Sunset Island 3:|
Start at normal speed and instantly turn around to find the first checkpoint.
Turn back to the starting position and boost there. Pass up on the red and
white platform and ride up the hill to enter the ramp area. Turn left and
jump up the ramp to perform a big combo and to clear the second checkpoint.
After landing, aim for the next red ring which is also located above the ramp.
Go there, jump up again and carry out another combo.
Turn around upon landing and leave the ramp area by riding up the ramp and
pressing Up at the top. Hop onto the bridge and try your best to jump over
the left railing and onto the lower bridge afterwards. If you can't pull it
off, though, don't worry. No matter whether you are on the lower bridge or on
the ocean just move straight on and use a boost on your way to the fourth
checkpoint which lies on the ramp connecting the street and the small island
in front of you.
Move down the ramp and you'll already see the next target. Close in on it and
jump through it.
Then turn around and boost up the ramp onto the bridge. Do a few tricks on
the jumping pads and just before you would enter the tunnel, hop on the left
railing and onto the hill. Reach the peak and jump through the checkpoint.
Now turn left and leave the hill for the street. Boost along and when the
street splits up jump onto the green-black section and ride into the opening
in the ground with low speed so you fall right into the next red ring.
Turn left, aim for the goal (can be seen on the mini map) and ignite your
last nitro to end the level.

______________
Giant House 1:|
Turbo start down the blue ramp, but don't jump at its end. Simply drop off
and steer left to reach the first checkpoint.
Enter the mouse hole and try not to hit the walls too often, although this is
certainly no easy task. Once you see the exit, ignite a nitro and ride down
the stairs leading directly to another red ring.
Boost towards the next mouse hole and clear the next checkpoint after having
traversed the tunnel.
Turn right, use your last boost and use the wall right of the stairs to get
up. Now all that's left to do is to turn left and go for the goal.
______________
Giant House 2:|
Drop down to the right (it doesn't matter if you use a turbo start or not)
and go for the first checkpoint. You'll need to hop to it since it floats
above your level.
Turn around and simply ride through the near-by checkpoint.
Now aim for the mouse hole you used in the last stage and boost, allowing you
to make a high jump over some obstacles and hence to reach the hole quickly.
On the other side of the hole ride up the cupboard and carefully activate the
checkpoint without falling down.
Get back to where you rode up and this time skate down the stairs to pass
through the next checkpoint on your way down.
Boost into the other mouse hole and upon entering the kitchen you should
ignite the last nitro and use the wall next to the stairs like you did in the
previous stage. Climb up the furniture to your right and pass the sunk to
reach another checkpoint.
Turn left and jump onto another platform where the goal already awaits you.
______________
Giant House 3:|
Turn around before accelerating, so you can ride along the wall to the right.
Ride down into the box where the first checkpoint is and leave via the small
hole.
Boost towards the green house up ahead and enter it from the right to find
another checkpoint.
Leave via the other opening and enter the mouse hole near-by. In the corridor,
jump down at the right side of the stairs and position yourself beneath the
third checkpoint. Now ride up the wall next to it and jump off a few feet
above the ground to clear the checkpoint.
Proceed to the lower end of the stairs and boost up and along the wall to get
back on top. Drive back through the mouse hole and aim for the far-off right
corner in the children's room. Move up the wall and onto the table from where
you're able to activate the next red ring.
Traverse the mouse hole tunnel beneath you to get to the kitchen, where the
trickiest part of this stage awaits you: You'll have to jump onto the narrow
rope that goes through the room closely under the ceiling in order to reach a
checkpoint. You might want to practice this a few times before actually
attempting to achieve a great record time.
Next, hop down and easily reach the next checkpoint located on the floor next
to the table.
Ignite a nitro to get to the stairs in the opposite corner of the room and
ride up the wall like in the previous two stages. When you've passed the
stairs, use your last turbo and ride up the fridge. You'll land on a narrow
platform from where you need to jump up into the freeze...and don't ask me
why it isn't possible to simply ride up into it; I don't get it either.

8. Coin HHH
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Coin probably is the easiest and by far the most relaxing single player mode
in Airboarder 64. You get a generous time limit to collect some coins
scattered throughout the stage. Yellow coins are your standard fair whereas
red coins fill up your boost meter quite a lot more than yellow ones do.
Actually, though, this is pretty trivial in this mode. The only thing that's
being kept record of is how many coins you've collected; time doesn't matter
as long as you stay within the time limit. Hence, using turbo boosts doesn't
really help you.
I'll tell you what route get you to every coin the fastest way and next to
every instruction I give you an outline on how many coins you ought to have
afterwards.

you have to use a boost, so you get the correct height to pocket the
last coins floating in the air.

_________________________
Lost Forest 1:| 74 coins |
1-21: Drop down the starting platform and advance through the caves until
you reach the first exit. Take it and cross the bridge to find the
first coins. Simply follow the trail of coins up the hill and along
the left side of the wooden half-pipe.
22: Don't miss the one behind the wooden pole.
23-27: Drop down the ledge and look around.
28-29: Move on and pick these two up before taking a left leading you to the
river area.
30-34: Ride back to where you found the first coins, skate up the hill again
and climb the tree stump, allowing you to enter the half-pipe. Here
you'll find a column of coins on the right, requiring you to jump up.
35-37: Just a few feet further inside the half-pipe.
38-41: Another coin column, this time it's on the left.
42-45: On the ramp right after leaving the half-pipe.
46-48: Ride up the wall to your left and hop onto the ledge.
49-74: Simply follow the long trail of coins into the forest and to the huge
tree.
_________________________
Lost Forest 2:| 89 coins |
1: Hop off the starting platform and ride down to the first corner.
2-15: Take the first exit to leave the cave system and follow a trail of
coins onto the walkways.
16-18: When the trail ends, turn around and follow the walkway that goes
parallel to the one you just used.
19-30: Simply follow the bridges on the highest level. You can't really miss
any of these, except maybe for the two red ones at the end.
31-37: Hop down and ride up the ramp (actually being a broken bridge).
38-49: Simply follow the path. Again, you can't possibly miss any of these on
the way.
50-68: Return to the ramp and follow the long trail of coins beginning at the
green bridge and ending at the entrance to the forest. Watch out not
to pass up on the one that floats high in the air.
69-89: Enter the forest to find another long row of coins that will lead you
to the huge tree and to the very last coin.
__________________________
Lost Forest 3:| 128 coins |
1-6: Slowly drive ahead and come to a halt at the end of the platform.
You need to drop down at a really low speed to catch some coins
hanging in the air on your way down. If you miss these, there's no
way of getting them later on.
7-36: Move on through the caves to find a trail of coins. Follow it into
the left sidearm.
37-48: Don't follow the tunnel any further; pick up the two coins nearby
instead and let them guide you down to a big watery cave where you
pick up the bunch of coins to your left first of all.
49-70: Hop down from platform to platform (one of these can be overlooked
easily, so watch out) and pick up all the coins on your way to the
next cave where you ride up to reach the higher area.
71-76: Ride up the tunnel to get to the cross point where you took a left
earlier in the stage.
77-90: Take the same route as before to return to the point where you
nabbed coin # 36. Move further through the tunnel and let yourself
be guided by a row of coins again.
91: Don't miss the red coin up in the air. It's basically on your way,
yet it can rather easily be missed.
92-96: Again, follow the coins.
97: Another goodie floating high in the air.
98-109: Follow the coins some more, enter the forest and move on to the
giant tree.
110-128: Ride up the walkway sloping at the tree. Near the top you'll have to
enter an opening on your left.

Snow Festival '64 1:| 125 coins|
1-4: Turn left and pick up the coins lying nearby.

32-40: Go to the icy half-pipe and follow the row of coins up into the air
twice.
41: In the igloo.
42-54: Get back out of the igloo and ride to the big yard behind it. There
you'll find a relatively long row of coins around the centre building.
55-71: Leave this place via the open gate and approach the subway entrance on
your left. Some coins lead the way through the narrow alleys.
72-79: Upon leaving the alleys, turn left and follow another trail of coins
beginning just behind a subway entrance (don't pass up on the two yellow
coins high above the ground and on the single red coin)
80-93: Get to the left side of the Tokyo Tower and enter a small backstreet.
94-102: Ride around the building and climb it up from the other side. On its
roof is a ramp you should use to reach the roof of the brownish building.
103: Drop down where you rode up the building and pick up the single coin in
the small opening on the other side of the street.
104-112: Drive to the top of the high building right of the igloo (when
facing the igloo's entrance). I mean the one with the yellow block saying
"happy board". Pick up the coins on there, hop down onto another roof on the
opposite side and get back up to the first roof.
113-115: Jump down and climb the building next to the yellow block. From here
you can jump onto the block and back.
116-122: Go to the other two coins on the roof and follow them down to a
bridge connecting two buildings.
123-125: I hate this part. You have to get on top of the really high building
in front of you. Sounds pretty easy, right? It would be if it wasn't for the
fence around the roof. Simply ride up any wall and try your best to land your
board on the roof so you can grind and jump off the fence as you wish. This
may take several tries without actually doing anything wrong.
_______________________________
Snow Festival '64 2:| 125 coins|
1-5: Start your run by hopping on the small ramp up ahead a bit to the

24: Climb up either one of the metal girders holding the monorail and
jump down near the Tokyo Tower to grab a red coin in mid-air.
25-41: Climb back up and collect the right trail of coins prior to the left
one.
42-46: Advance to the left on the girders and jump onto a tunnel.
47-75: Simply move on and take a long tour through the stage.
76-79: Drop down to solid ground near the icy half-pipe and perform a high
jump in it.
80-83: Repeat on the other side.
84-86: Enter the igloo.
87-88: Leave this area to the left and aim for the subway entrance.
89-91: At the entrance of the nice-looking building in the centre of the
big yard.
92-99: Go to the open gate and grind along the right fence.
100-102: Enter the right street and look out for a small yard on the left.
103-106: Ride up the metal construction.
107: Drop back down and ride up the violet building.
108-113: Now jump from house to house on the right end of the map towards the
starting position. Soon you will see some coins on a roof as well as
on the wall going down just ahead of them.
114: On the subway entrance at the starting position.
115-119: Grind along the fence at the neat building located to the right of
the starting position.
120-123: On the other side of the street is another fence to grind on.

25-28: Follow a trail of coins in the half-pipe up into the air.
29-32: Jump up again at the opposite side of the pipe.
33-35: Inside the igloo.
36-37: Move to the entrance gate at the big yard.
37-38: Follow the street to the north to find a single coin near a building.
39-59: Move back a bit and use the iron girder to get onto the monorail-
track. Take a left and follow the path.
! 60-62: Drop down in the short tunnel. This one can be missed extremely easy.
63-66: Drop down to the lowest level and follow the track a bit further
until you see some coins on the right, building a row up a building.
69-89: Get back onto the rail-track and move on until you reach a bar
connecting two buildings just above the track.
90-93: Jump down and take a left at the next intersection. Soon you'll see
a single coin showing you the way up where a few more coins await
you.
94-95: Get up the second roof, pick up the coin, ride up the higher
building on your left and grab the other coin from there.
96-101: Return to the higher roof and aim for the coin floating on its other
end. Drop down to the bridge and pick up some more coins.
101-103: Like in the first stage on this map this is a friggin' unbalanced,
unfair part. You have to try to reach the roof up ahead. To do so,
ride up and hope for the best to land on the fence allowing you to
drop down onto the roof.
104-106: Grind on the fence around the neat building below.
107-110: Grind on the railing on the other side of the street.
111-114: Return to your starting position and take the street southbound.

121-124: Behind the Tokyo Tower.
125: When facing the neat red and white house near the start, turn left
and climb up the building there. From here you ought to ignite a
nitro and jump onto the smaller house to nab a red coin.

railing.
38-41: Cross the bridge and get onto the two huts.
42: This one's on a really small island between your position and the
starting island.
43-51: At the first island on the beach under the bridges.
52-57: Nearby are two ramps in the ocean. Go there.
58-60: Get onto the lower bridge and follow the right path to reach three
coins on some oil drums.
61-66: Leave the bridge via the first ramp leading down and don't miss the
six coins, three on each side.

1-4: On the balcony of the house on the beach. Simply jump up there.
5-10: Skate up the right side of the hotel.
11-16: Repeat on the left side.
17-23: Go to the backside of the hotel and ride up the wall.
25-27: Get up the hill and hop up to some coins in the ramp area without
actively jumping.
28-30: Repeat.
31-32: One on each picnic table on the hill.
! 33: Have a close look beyond the railing at the northern end of the hill.
There is a red coin to nab. This one can be overlooked very easily.
34-36: Jump down and go to the parking lot. Pass it to find three coins on
a short beach strip.
37-38: On a small island on your way to the civilized island in the north
east.
39-42: On said civilized island.
43-59: Grind over the bridge to the wooden platform where you will also
need to grind.
60-67: Return to the starting island and head for the lower bridge. Take
the right track to find some coins.
68-79: Get off the bridge via the ramp on the left and proceed to the huts
in the distance. Each of them has four coins floating on top so you
have to jump onto them.
80-85: Continue skating on the bridge, but on the left path.
86-88: Drop off the bridge and ride to the concrete pillar stabilizing the
bridge on the beach.
89: Just ride to the other side of the pillar.
90-93: This one's pretty hard to pull off: You have to climb the light
house hill and make a precise jump from there to grab four coins in
mid-air. Stay on top of the hill, take aim and think of where to
jump off and how high to jump off. There's not much else I can tell
you for that, but to practice it.
94-97: Guess what? There's another one of these coin rows floating in the
air. Repeat what you just did, but keep in mind that this row is a
bit easier as three coins lie directly above one another.
98-113: Continue along the bridge and when approaching the Golden Gate
bridge-like section, stand next to the left wall and jump up to
grind on it. If you try to jump onto it with your normal speed you
might very likely fall off the bridge as the game won't realize you
trying to grind. Then hop over to the metal rope (or whatever they
are called) and grab something to drink or stuff like that, because
you will grind up and down a few times automatically collecting
coins on the way.
114-129: Repeat this on the other side of the bridge.

1-11: Grind down the right railing of the blue ramp and hop to the drum at
the end.
12-21: Grind back up on the other railing.
22-23: In front of the box in the south western corner.
24-26: Inside the box.
27: In the previous two stages we had coins on the highest and on the
lowest shelf, so where might they have hidden a coin this time? On
the medium shelf, right. Getting there is a bit tricky, but when you
know what to do it isn't too hard. Get on the upper shelf and
carefully position yourself at the ledge above the book which lies
on the centre level. Drop down onto that and nab the single red coin.
28-34: Some coins lie on various toy blocks and drums.
35-42: On the cupboard near the bed.
43-47: Go through the mouse hole and keep an eye open for a trail of coins
on the right wall.
48-53: Return to the mouse hole and follow another trail of coins up to the
cupboard.
54-63: Now ride down the handrail of the stairs and especially watch out
for the red coin at the end.
64-72: Get back up and pick up the other row of coins on your second way
down.
73-79: Go to the side of the stairs and ride up the wall twice for some
more coins.
80-83: Inside the flowerpots.
84-92: Enter the dining room through the mouse hole and ride up the
opposite wall so you can jump onto the string and grind along it.
93-102: Drop onto the floor and use the block of cheese to jump on the table
where quite a few coins await you.
103-105: Again, climb up to where the mouse hole connecting the kitchen and
the children's room is and proceed to get on the top of the fridge.
106-108: Ride up to the hotplates section and jump onto the chair from there.
109-111: In the lower section of the fridge.
112-114: Inside the fridge, ride up a side wall to reach the upper section of
the fridge.

When I put the cartridge into my beloved N64 for the first time, I thought
"Wow, looks like a neat game.", but when I finished the tutorial and started
my first street work run I was more like "WTF?!". The controls seemed totally
awkward, so I felt like not being in control of the game, but rather like
being at random control by the game. Even yelling at my low-polygon rider
wouldn't help. Well, eventually I got used to the controls more and more over
the time until I...still haven't found them to be on spot... but at least
could deal with them. Actually this isn't a really bad game; however it isn't
a great game either. Anyway, if you've already beaten Tony Hawk 1-3 and Wave
Race 64 you might want to take a look at Airboarder 64.

In some other guides I've seen the author implement the following and I
thought "Why not give it a try for your own guides?":
If you really like this guide and you think it helped you or entertained you
a bit or whatsoever and you feel like rewarding me not only by writing a nice
e-mail, feel free to send some money to my paypal account at:
[email protected]
Of course I don't want to make somebody send me money who doesn't really want
to (even if I could, I wouldn't ;) ), but (also of course) I'd appreciate any
contribution.
Thank you very much for reading this guide and hopefully some more of my
stuff on gamefaqs.
