Cool Boarders 2

This page is rather stubbly and could use some expansion.
Are you a bad enough dude to rescue this article?

Cool Boarders 2 is the sequel to the first Cool Boarders game and the first in the series to have multiplayer.

This game was featured on the PlayStation Classic, though like many games on the collection, it used the European version in all regions.

  • Billboard ads for Nestle Butterfinger are featured everywhere in the North American version. They were removed in the European version, possibly due to trademark licensing.

Soundtrack#

To do:
Rip the music from both versions of the game and upload.

  • In the North American version, the menu screen, character selection screen and the race courses use punk rock music.
  • In the European version, the menu screen and character selection screen use hip-hop and rap music, while the race courses use techno music. Also, a quick synthesized piece of music is played during the loading screen in this version.
