[edit] Gameplay

The game plays in partially the same manner as the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series (However this was released before the original Tony Hawk game). There are separate buttons to crouch and jump, and tricks are done with the B and Z buttons combined with various rotations of the joystick.

[edit] Sequels

1080° Snowboarding was followed in 2003 by 1080° Avalanche for the Nintendo GameCube.

[edit] Trivia

1080° Snowboarding was used in a promotional cartridge for the Nintendo 64. One course and character were unlocked. When ten minutes of gameplay were up, an animation of Mario would appear onscreen saying: "It's me, Mario. Thank you for playing Nintendo 64. Who's next?"
The game was sponsored by Tommy Hilfiger and Lamar snowboards.
1080° Snowboarding was produced by the legendary Nintendo game designer and producer Shigeru Miyamoto. [1]
