MTV Sports: Snowboarding is an extreme sports game developed by Radical Entertainment and released for the PlayStation in 1999. Capitalizing on the late-90s snowboarding craze, the game lets players carve up the slopes, perform high-flying tricks, and race against opponents in various mountain environments. With a focus on fast-paced arcade action and a high-energy soundtrack fit for the MTV brand, it offers a solid mix of freestyle trick sessions and competitive downhill events.
How to Play
The goal is to master the mountain by outracing competitors and chaining together tricks for high scores. Using the PlayStation controls (mapped to your keyboard’s arrow keys for steering, with nearby keys like Z, X, A, and S for jumps and grabs), you build momentum to hit jumps and rails. Landing cleanly is essential to maintain your speed and avoid wiping out.
Tips
- Pre-wind your spins and flips just before leaving the lip of a jump to rotate faster and squeeze in extra grabs.
- Stick to simpler, well-executed tricks for consistent scores rather than risking a crash on a massive combo.
- Learn the optimal racing lines through the courses; maintaining your speed often wins races more reliably than pulling off big air.
