-Penguin Board-
To access the Penguin Board you need to complete all the tricks from the trick
list in training mode. To do this you can either do it the hard and legitimate
way, or you can cheat, like i did! To clear the hard tricks, such as a 1080, you
can cheat, err, i mean use another method. Here is how it works, first do a
simple move just as a Lien Air, then while in the air hit C-Right to bring up
the trick menu, highligt the hardest trick for you that you haven't yet
completed, then hit A, if you land, and don't fall, it will count as the trick
you selected! Once you've done this go and select any mode you want and pick
your rider. Now when selecting your board hit C-Right and hold it when you have
the Tahoe 155 selected, now press A, you will now be riding the penguin board
which crashes less, and has much better control!

-Ice Man-
Beat match race on expert mode with any rider and any board, and then select
Akari Hayami, Press C-Left and hold, then press A, your character will now be
the Ice Man! He is pretty fast but he is made of ice so as you may have guessed
he gets damaged really easily. This is one racer for the expert players!

-Gold Boarder-
To get him you must be an expert, why is that you say? because you must beat the
match race mode on expert again, THIS time with Ice Man! Extremly difficult, but
possible! Once you've won, select Kesuke Kimachi, and press and hold C-Up, you
will now be the gold boarder! he is extremly fast and is extremly strong! Pair
the Gold Boarder with the Penguin Board and you are nearly unbeatable!

-Panda Man-
Talk about hard, to access Panda Man you must Beat the Match race on expert mode
with the gold boarder, get 1rst,2nd, and 3rd on the contest mode, AND Beat all
the records on time attack, and trick attack! Once you've done ALL of this,
which takes a while, highlight Rob Haywood, press and hold C-Right, then press
A, you will now finally be racing Panda Man! he is not very fast but he is great
at stunts and has a few special stunts of his own that only he can do, they are:
Back Flip(Down+R)
Front Flip(Up+R)
Panda Tweak(Same as 540, but with a tweak at the end, just try it!)
One-Foot(Down+B)

==================
4. Tips And Tricks
==================

180° Backflip without the Panda Boarder
Choose Dragon Cave, then take the normal route with no shortcuts and go right
off the cliff in the middle of the fence and the finger sign. Pull back on your
joystick. As soon as you are upside down, push it to the right-forward position.
It takes time to get this right.

NOTE: You can go higher off the cliff and make an easier landing by pressing A
immediately before you jump.

Big Air on Crystal Lake
In the beginning of this level turn sharp right and jump on the high platform
continue on it and jump off at the end you should get some big air. Then after
the second jump turn sharp left and jump on the high platform at the end of the
platform jump off and you should get some big air. Then continue the course
until you get to the second house and jump on it into the shortcut. Then instead
of going through the shortcut jump on the left of the shortcut and at the end of
that path you should get some really big air.

Bonus Courses
In Match race, beat the six courses on expert mode. This will unlock the Deadly
Fall course.

In Match race, beat the five courses on hard mode. This will unlock the Dragon
Cave course.

Change Title Camera
At the title screen press C-Up. You can now move the camera around.

Choose your Opponent
When the race begins, press START immediately and choose RESTART. Keep doing
this until your desired opponent appears.

Different Grind on Rail
In the level Dragon Cave, there is a rail at the end. If you are riding regular,
you can 50-50, Frontside Boardslide, and Backside tailslide. When you're riding
Goofy, you can 50-50, Backside Boardslide, and Frontside tailslide. Not only
does this look great on replay, it's so realistic, it is almost like watching
someone on a snowboard video.
Submitted by Burton Boy ([email protected])

Easy Landings
Here's a trick that will help you nail every landing. In the air, line your
board up with the groung, maybe leaning back a little bit and right before you
hit the ground, press Z. If you did it right your legs will come up right before
you hit the ground and you'll have a MUCH smoother landing.

Extra Points on the Halfpipe
At the start of the halfpipe, immediately turn to the left or right. Proceed
until you are near the wall, then make a turn towards the pipe. If your in the
correct position, you will move up a small invisible ramp and it will boost you
high into the air. You can land tons of tricks during this trick.

When you get to the shorter hill before the finish, use your jump button and try
a big combo. Don't worry about landing because when you cross the line you'll
land automaticly. This will allow you to get extra points at the end.

Extra Time on Dragon Cave Trick Attack
In dragon cave, go into the tunnel (after the bridge, take a left and another
left.) After the first time bar, turn out of the tunnel to the right. go through
the powder and through another time bar in the middle of the course. You will
have 45 or 50 sec. When you go through a time bar by the big rocks that you can
jump off of, you will go through another time bar and have about 70 sec. You
will end the course with about 50 sec. left, and that will give you a time bonus
equal to a 1080!

Fast Recovery From Wreck
After you crash, tap UP for a slight speed boost.

Flip Tricks without Panda Boarder
Endo-Roll: Go off a big jump, then press forward (without pressing B) then once
you get upside down, press right or left.

HardFlip: When going off a big jump, press diagonal right-up, or diagonal left-
up, and you'll do a HardFlip.

Freefall
There is a glitch in the game when you go down Crystal Lake. Select any boarder
and any board (make sure your boarder has good jump though.) After passing the
first two jumps there should be a fence with a hot air ballon behind it. Hit the
drift and jump. You should clear the fence and fall down. You will se a distant
ground shifting and turning all wierd. You will freefall for about one minute
before it returns you back up to the top. It's pretty cool but it kills you.

Kiosk Mode
Turn on your N64 with 1080 in it WITHOUT a controller plugged in. While the
demos are going on and the "No Controller" is blinking at the bottom of the
page, plug in a controller. NOTHING on the controller will work EXCEPT the view
buttons (ex: C-Down, C-Up, D-Pad up, D-Pad Down) You can play with the views,
but you can't start the game.
Submitted by [email protected]

Quick Start
Normally when starting a race in 1080°, you will start out slow. During the
countdown right before you start (3-2-1), wait until the 1 disappears and press
Up on the Control Stick. This will cause you to lunge forward and give you a
much faster start. It may take a bit of practice though to get your timing
perfect.

Rappin Replay
During the View Replay option for the Half Pipe mode, you can add record
scratching. To do this, move the control stick in any direction during the Half
Pipe Replay.

NOTE: This cheat only works in the Half Pipe mode replay.

Ring of Fire
First get to the dragon cave level. Next follow the coarse normally until you
pass the first bridge. There should be a fork in the trail, turn right. After
that there should be another fork in the trail, turn left this time {make sure
not to fall off the edge!!} Go straight ahead and there should be a ring of fire
and an awsome jump for some great tricks.
Submitted by Aaron LaFountaine ([email protected])

Secret Cave in the Dragon Cave
If you are a skilled boarder but cannot beat this race, I'd suggest this trick
for you. You cannot use the jump off the cliff trick here to do this one. Just
follow the course down the mountain and go across the bridge. If you are very
careful and you stay on the edge of the cliff, go to the left when you get off
of the bridge. Whenever you have a chance to turn left, do it.

Sooner or later, if you did it right, you will see a ledge that ends. Across
from the ledge there is a hole. Jump into it and cruise. This will make a big
gap between your opponent and you even if you are in expert mode.

Shortcuts
CRYSTAL LAKE - Right after the big jump, you will see a house with a ramp beside
it straight ahead. Go off the course and hit the ramp, and you will find a
shorter route than the normal one.

CRYSTAL PEAK - Right after coming out of the tunnel, you will turn right. You
will then see two different pathes. Hit the right one. Be sure that after coming
out of the tunnel you make the right turn pretty sharp, or you may not be able
to turn in time to hit the right path. The right path is much shorter and you
will bypass some tough obstacles.

DEADLY FALLS - At the start go straight you'll notice little mounds to the left
and a fork the computer goes right when the mountain pertrudes on go left you'll
see a mound ramping up hit it, it will thin out to a peak ride to the point and
you'll fly up on to the mountain then theres another little mound on that go
left around it and cut back sharply then aim forward you should go on to an ice
bridge(a bit tricky to find)then follow it until your back on the main hill when
you get back down you should see a mound in front of you with a hole in it but
don't take it just turn straight down and go your usual way through the outcrops
of trees.

DRAGON CAVE - If you're a little behind near the end and are willing to take a
risk, drive straight through the little shack and ride the thin cable to a small
lead, but be careful; if you land poorly it will most likely cost you the race.

GOLDEN FOREST - When you reach the fork with trees and powder in the middle, go
in the powder. After a while you will see a large log going in the air. Ride up
it to get to a further part of the track.

MOUNTAIN VILLAGE - Inside the cave may seem like a maze, but stick to the right
side and you will find your way through much easier.

Substitute Tricks
This code will allow you to do one trick and make it count as another trick
(like doing an Indy and making it count for a 1080.) This trick only works in
training mode.  What you have to do is pick an easy trick while you're in the
half pipe and do it, then you have to hit the right C button to go into the
trick menu before you hit the ground.  While you are in the trick menu pick a
hard trick you can't do like the 1080 and push the A button.

If you did everything right you will hear a ding sound when you land and when
you go back into the trick menu the hard trick will be red.  You can use this
trick to get the penguine board.
Submitted by 1080 Master

Warp up to the Bridge
On Dragon caves, select time trials, then, go down the normal short cut way(aka
down the mountain, or big air). Then the first big rock you see, you need to
jump on top of it. You will fall into nothingness for about 5 seconds and
mysteriously end up on the bridge!
Submitted by Chris Gurry

Watch Your Ghost
To watch your ghost without racing it, make a ghost in trick attack and then
return to the start screen. When Kensuke Kimachi is done going down Crystal
Lake, your ghost will appear on the track.

8. Review
=========

This game rocks, it was the first of it's kind and there is no other game like
it today! 1080 Snowboarding is not like your average racing game where the first
one to the line wins. Oh no, there is much more than that. With 5 modes of
gameplay this game will keep you playing for years to come!

Graphics - 10
For a racing game, the graphics for 1080 were MUCH better than I expected. The
courses are clear, sharp, and detailed. Especially the course 'Mountain Village'
the snowfall is pretty realistic! The trees in 'Golden Forest' aren't to shabby
either. The graphics on this game are extremly good, even though you'll be too
busy executing 1080's to notice them!

Sound\Sound FX - 6.5
Well, this is the games one minor flaw, the sound FX are virtually non-existant.
The Background Music isn't all that bad, but it's not exactly catchy. It's not
that big of deal though, just pop in your favorite CD while playing if your
concerned about sound.

Control - 10
The control in the game scores a 10 with ease, the controls are responsive, easy
to learn, and unique. Executing the tricks is generally easy, however the 1080's
are pretty hard to pull off, and you may find yourself physically bending the
control stick to get that extra 'touch' while executing spins.

Gameplay - 10
This is where 1080 really excels, the gameplay is PERFECT. There are 5 mode of
play - trick attack, time attack, contest, match race, and of course - 2 player.

Contest mode is one-of-a-kind, you must make it to the finish line as fast as
you can, while still passing through the gates, AND executing tricks to
accumulate your score. 1080 is the only game to feature a mode like this, and
there should be more.

Match Race is the 'main game' you could say, in which you race against a
computer player to open up new levels, and new racers. There are a total of 6
courses, but they are all long-lasting.

2 player mode is like any other game, you race against each other to the end and
the first one there wins, simple as that, but very fun and long-lasting!

Time Attack is also like any other time attack, forget doing tricks, just speed
through the course as fast as you can, and don't crash. Not the most fun aspect
of the game, but still fun - for a while.

And last but not least is Trick Attack, possibly the most popular mode in the
game, you style through all 6 courses passing through time gates and pulling off
some sweet grab moves and spins. You will find yourself playing this mode 5
hours at a time. It is extremly fun, replayable, and addicting.

Also there is 'training' where you can earn a secret board by executing every
trick in the game during a sinlge run, after you get the board, there isn't much
point to this.

Replay Value\Fun Factor - 10
As you can see from all the modes of play, this game has excellent replay value.
I've owned this game for 2 years and still play it every day!

Overall - 10
If i could give this game an 11 i would, it's that good! If you don't own it,
buy it today!!!
