3. Secrets
==========

-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 (whitesel@earthlink.net)

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. 
Submitted by Rob Schwerdt (AbsoluteVodka@Angelfire.com)

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. 
Submitted by sk8 King (whitesel@earthlink.net)

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. 
Submitted by Chris Kirkham

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 samiyam12@iol13.com

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. 
Submitted by EthanHunnt@aol.com

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. 
Submitted by Blake Lucas (dlucas@rica.net)

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 (joebobian@hotmail.com)

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. 
Submitted by David Pierce (jedimaster57@hotmail.com)

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!!!
