Gameplay
editMassive Snowboarding allows the player to choose from up to five different characters in different modes.[2] In the main career mode, there are three different types of gameplay available: Ride Challenge, Rival Race, and Video Shoot.
Most of the game takes place in Ride Challenge, where the player is given objectives to complete before reaching the bottom of the slope, ranging from gaining a certain number of points through tricks to executing a certain trick. Rival race is racing another player down the slope. Video shoot tasks the player with earning a certain point value on only one huge jump.[1]
