Trick'N Snowboarder, known in Japan as Tricky Sliders (Japanese: トリッキースライダーズ Hepburn: Torikkī Suraidāzu?), is a snowboarding sports video game published by Capcom in 1999. It is the second snowboarding game developed by Cave and unlike the first, was developed for the home console market rather than the arcade.

Scenario Mode

Scenario mode takes the player through ten stages with specific goals for completion of each stage, similar to that of other extreme sports games like Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. These goals primarily revolve around the goal of capturing the best tricks and stunts for a series of videos that the player is involved in shooting, though there are three instances where an opponent challenges the player to either a score-based or time-based challenge.

Gameplay

The game sticks to the standard recipe for snowboarding titles: wild downhill courses with jump-off points and occasional obstacles; different modes such as alpine, half-pipe, and single-jump competitions; and marginal extras like replay saves and player/title logo-edit functions. It includes the Resident Evil 2 characters Leon S. Kennedy, Claire Redfield, and a Zombie Cop as playable snowboarders.

Reception

Trick'N Snowboarder was met with a more negative reception than its predecessor. On aggregate review site GameRankings, the game holds a composite review score of 56.5% after ten reviews.
