Snowboard Kids

This page details pre-release information and/or media for Snowboard Kids.

US Promo Video#

One known promo video of Snowboard Kids exists, which showcases a pre-release of the international localisation. The narrator's voices appear not to be done yet, and are completely different. Watch on YouTube

Differences#

• Still uses the Japanese title screen audio, but the visuals are like the international versions.
• The menu background still uses the Japanese version's "Snobow Kids"
• In the Course Select menu, Return to Menu is named Return to Main.
• Narrator voices are completely different; not used in either the Japanese or final International versions.
• Trick bonuses still have the Japanese version's Get! present.
• The board All Around is misspelt as All Round It's possible this is how the Japanese pronounce that board's name.

What appears final#

• The Course names match the final international version, although not all maps are visible.
• All voices heard from the characters themselves match the final international version, making it seem the narrator was last.

Manual Build#

The manual of Snowboard Kids contains international pre-release screenshots, very similar to the build of the video above.

• The menu background still uses the Japanese version's "Snobow Kids"
• The multiplayer menu says Change the settings in the multiplayer. The finalised version changed the grammar by removing the second the.
• Unlike the video above, the item shops still contain the Japanese characters.
• The menus appear to have the finalised international skill game names. However, the in-game graphics still have the old Japanese ones. The manual mentions the Japanese names, where Shoot Cross is named Shot Cross which is the incorrect name for both regions.
• In the Course Select menu, Return to Menu is named Return to Main.
• In the Skill Game Menu, Return to Menu is named Return to Main.
• The board All Around is misspelt as All Round. It's possible this is how the Japanese pronounce that board's name.
