This channel is great. The host seems to be so genuinely in his element and isn't trying to put on any sort of act, it's refreshing. I glossed over this channel a few times after seeing the "Beating every N64 game" series, but once I gave it a try, I was hooked. I can't imagine how cool that'll feel once you finish them all and look back thinking "wow I beat every game and essentially documented it all on video", that's a lot of time and dedication and will help you achieve even greater projects down the line! Hopefully you're saving all these videos somewhere... I don't know that they'll stay on YT forever.
this is unironically the best series on youtube. it's so good. I don't care about the majority of these games in a vacuum but the content and the editing here are both just top notch and I'm waiting on the edge of my seat for the next one every time
I just watched through every episode of this series over the past couple weeks and love this challenge. It's bringing back some good memories and also introducing me to games I'd never heard of. Subscribed!
Same, and I don’t even own a N64!🤣 Like you said though, it does bring back some pretty good memories. It would be cool if he did a SNES challenge like this after.
the "tie pin" goes all the way back to the fujiyaka era, when emperor fujiyaka fell onto a hot stove. he received severe facial burns and died from his injuries
@@Thabeast721 Dont worry dude, the quality is there! I imagine once a few of the super banger games get dropped more ppl will be all over it. Also the two videos a week now keeps the hype going I love it!
@@Thabeast721 I'm a new subscriber and I've been loving this series. My favorites so far have been Mario Party, which I watched the actual gameplay for, and surprisingly the Indiana Jones game. You have an amazing and positive personality and it's a real pleasure to watch. Don't give up, you're on your way to greatness ☺👍
LOVED this game growing up! I remember one of my friends asked me if I snowboard and I just happened to be playing this game at the time and for some reason correlated this game with real life, so I told my friend Yes 😂 He asked what type of board I have and remember instantly saying “I only use Alpine boards” 😂😂 He had a large hill near his house and we went one winter and I remember being so embarrassed when I realized I actually didn’t know how to snowboard in real life 😂🤦🏻♂️ I was in like 3rd grade
A tip that Thab didn't know, the bomb explosion doesn't hurt you if you use the invisible board, so you can shoot someone pointblank with a bomb if you pop the invisiboard
also you can hold A for speed boosts , you will jump after letting go so be careful about hitting a wall, but most levels have a few straights that can be used this way
I'm glad you brought up the greatness of the soundtrack, definitely an undercover gem. Big Snowman is easily in my top 5 favourite video game tracks of all time.
Many of the games has nostalgia but this one really brought me back. I rented this from a blockbuster and played it for hours and hours. I completely forgot about this game until now. Thanks!
@@strohhutxP yes, the shortest one, in trick game all blue tricks give the same amount of points. then you need to time it as tight as possible to make it to the finish line and don't fail the rail ^^
Man, this and the sequel are easily among my favorite games on the system. I remember a good way to use the rock was right after you hit an item box. The CPU will prioritize getting items, so they are practically guaranteed to hit the rock before you can do another lap and risk hitting it.
Watching these series, seeing you play all the game I played as a kid, made me realize I barely scratched the surface of what they had to offer. Feather board?! Star Board? Gold Pass? Ninjas?!
You can shoot bombs backwards with R plus down plus Z. This will help you in Snowboard kids 2. Also you can reflect items with tail grabs. Lastly you can get up faster from being hit by spinning the control stick and rapidly pressing Z. These tips are in the manual
This was the game I immediately thought of when you started this challenge. I thought to myself, “that means he’s gonna play Snowboard kids!” We never bought this game when we were kids, but it was one of the few we rented multiple times. One of the best soundtracks in gaming
You can actually jump over (most of) the attacks with a well timed jump, definitely a good thing to master. Also it's a good trick to drop a rock directly after one of the item boxes.
1:07 "When the race started, I was incredibly bad. Like, worse than toddler bad! It very quickly dawned on me that it was probably not a good idea to skip the tutorial..." **enters the tutorial** "If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon! You will be a minister of death, praying for war! But until that day, you are a puke!!.." **re-enters the race after finishing the tutorial** "RAWRRRRRRR!!!" **tears up the competition**
I'd totally forgotten about this game until right now... I'm flashing back to all the good memories of renting this game with an N64 from Blockbuster!!
17.20 - You could've used one of my fav strategies for the rubbish 'in the lead' power-ups. Fire off the bomb, and then activate your invisible buff. Kills the racer ahead but you're fine!
Snowboard Kids is one of the best racing games outside of Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing on the N64. Snowboard Kids also has a sequel that you might also play eventually on the N64.
I'm not sure if it was this one or snowboard kids 2, but I am pretty sure you can use the invisible board to dodge bomb explosions (and also those plates that fall from the sky and hit everyone). Basically the invisible board is invincibility. Also I thought you could shoot bombs backwards, but that might also be snowboard kids #2. As you can tell I mostly played snowboard kids 2, though #1 is pretty fun too and even better in some ways I would say.
I'm not 100% certain but I seem to remember in the second game, when you get to it, that you can actually smack some projectiles back at the opponent with a well timed front flip. I can't remember if it's in the first game or not either.
Just wanted to second the suggestion I saw in a thread that you put the sneak peek before the wrap-up about liking and subscribing. Would get more people seeing it and getting hype for the next one!
the way you messed up ninja land having the invisibility and the bomb was just brutal. go invis and then bomb the ninja. you had it all. good content keep up the good work and content coming.
Quicksand Valley is the most brutal level in the game. It's a big difficulty spike for most newer players and most will struggle. Many speedruns die to that level, tight turns, pits and RNG. don't feel bad.
Seeing this, I will inform you that becoming invisible should even prevent explosions from harming you, so you could have pulled some clutch moments with that technique! :D I loved this game back then! It's awesome!
The ending credit movie feels like 2016 youtube kids content. That plot makes as much sense as Elsa and Spiderman go to the Doctor toy unboxing with slime?!?!
And with this video I'm officially caught up, and on a game I have fond memories of! It's been a lot of fun so far, and now I have a weekly series to look forward to!
I never played this, but I had Snowboard Kids 2 when I was a kid. That game was great. They made a snowboard kids reboot on DS later on and I was very disappointed in it.
If you hold jump for 2 in game seconds without pushing a direction, when you release A you will get a speed boost. Clutch for speed running and as far as I know the game doesn’t teach you that mechanic.
Me and my sister used to play this all the time! It was one of the few videogames she liked. I was better than her and she was usually near or at last place and she she got the ability to crush everyone with the pie tins often. We called them pans and they were the bane of my existence lmao
I played the hell out of this game with my siblings when I was a kid and have so much nostalgia. I forgot all about some of the insane (but interesting) design choices, like the ski lift, parachute, etc. I always thought it was fun to use the ice board, just because it's so bad, it actually feels like trying to snowboard on ice. One of those things they throw into games just for fun. One thing you missed is that after beating the Ninja course, you unlocked Shinobin (the ninja) as a playable character! I guess they didn't tell you about that, and you didn't try playing another race, so you didn't notice.
Thank you for this series, helps me comb through which games I want to try and which just seemed like good games. What did you think of the controls for turok?

Man, I LOVED this game. What a throwback.
We*
you can also play as the ninja (named Shinobin) when you defeat him!
great video - one of my absolute favorite games ever!
I just watched through every episode of this series over the past couple weeks and love this challenge. It's bringing back some good memories and also introducing me to games I'd never heard of. Subscribed!
Same. I was sick in bed for a couple days so I just marsthoned the entire thing on my phone.
Same, and I don’t even own a N64!🤣
Like you said though, it does bring back some pretty good memories. It would be cool if he did a SNES challenge like this after.
The "metal disc" is a pie tin. For whatever reason people getting hit with pie tins is a staple of Japanese comedy.
Slap stick comedy
Similar to Looney Tunes dropping anvils on heads
The original gag was like the Japanese version of the bucket of water on the door. But the gag of it just being empty became more popular
the "tie pin" goes all the way back to the fujiyaka era, when emperor fujiyaka fell onto a hot stove. he received severe facial burns and died from his injuries
@@Flameb0 Wow, that sounds incredibly sadistic. Poor guy.
Dude, your going to hit 100k subs in no time with this series!
We shall see. Things have slowed down quite a bit lately
@@Thabeast721 Dont worry dude, the quality is there! I imagine once a few of the super banger games get dropped more ppl will be all over it. Also the two videos a week now keeps the hype going I love it!
This series is gold and the commentary is as well. Im hitting ALL the likes to get the algorithms on his side
@@Thabeast721 I wouldn't be concerned at all. I guarantee that once your RNG lands on one of the big nostalgia games it's gonna pop off big time.
@@Thabeast721 I'm a new subscriber and I've been loving this series. My favorites so far have been Mario Party, which I watched the actual gameplay for, and surprisingly the Indiana Jones game.

The SBK titles on N64 are excellent, some of the most fun I've had in local multiplayer on the n64.
Your editor is going above and beyond with these. 4:39 was hilarious! Your commentary also improved so much since the first episode, keep it up thab
I played the shit out of this game when I was young. The grind to get all the boards was real
One of my favorite N64 gams of all time.. such a great soundtrack as well, still listen to it from time to time for nostalgia purposes!
LOVED this game growing up!

My favourite n64 game!! Loved re-living this through your video. This series is such a gem!
Loved this game. So many rocks left inside item boxes…
Snowboard kids 2 is definitely in my 5 favorite n64 games, looking forward to it,
I'm glad you brought up the greatness of the soundtrack, definitely an undercover gem. Big Snowman is easily in my top 5 favourite video game tracks of all time.
Snowboard Kids has a special place in my heart forever.
Dude YES! Ive been waiting on this one and Geomon Mystical ninja
Many of the games has nostalgia but this one really brought me back. I rented this from a blockbuster and played it for hours and hours. I completely forgot about this game until now. Thanks!
The best character for trick game is Jam and freestyle level 2 board. You can constantly do the blue trick in the half pipe with minimal air time.
left-right-left-right was it?
@@strohhutxP yes, the shortest one, in trick game all blue tricks give the same amount of points. then you need to time it as tight as possible to make it to the finish line and don't fail the rail ^^
I played this game for the first time a couple years ago and had a blast, so im happy to see you cover it! Loving this series as per usual.
This is my favorite series on youtube now

Really glad you liked this one Thab, I remember it being a highlight of my childhood!
Man , Snowboard Kids was amazing. Would love to see 1 & 2 on Nintendo Switch.
And 3 while we are at it
has a ds game noone rly played (SBK)
There will be a spiritual successor on PC later this year, actually. It's called Slopecrashers.
@@ForumcoldiArchon I didn’t know that!
@@umbaupause definitely going to have to check that out. Thanks!
This was my favorite game back in the days. My friends and I always played the trickmode and go for a high score, so much fun!
Really hope this game comes to NSO.

I only played this game with my friends every Friday, and we had a BLAST! So much nostalgia!

This is such a gem game, so is the sequel! I still play both to this day. I can’t wait for you to do majoras mask! Let’s go!!!! 🙌🏻
the only thing about the sequel is the frame rate is noticeably worse. i loved these games as a kid
1:07 "When the race started, I was incredibly bad. Like, worse than toddler bad! It very quickly dawned on me that it was probably not a good idea to skip the tutorial..."
**enters the tutorial**
"If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be a weapon! You will be a minister of death, praying for war! But until that day, you are a puke!!.."
**re-enters the race after finishing the tutorial**
"RAWRRRRRRR!!!" **tears up the competition**
I LOVED both snowboard kids on N64! Had them both and played them a ton
Loved this game as a kid, so fun having 4 player races, and the havoc of the ski lift.
I rented this game from Blockbuster when I was a kid. Very nostalgic
This is one of my favorite video games ever. I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I'd totally forgotten about this game until right now... I'm flashing back to all the good memories of renting this game with an N64 from Blockbuster!!
I have a very misty memory of this game as a kid playing, the only thing that I remember is having fun at the multiplayer
snowboard kids 2 is where things get really wacky. Love these games
Love this game , still have it and play it every now and then , was waiting for your gameplay of it … brilliant
Loved this game...remember the fighting for the best approach to the chair lift at the end of a lap
17.20 - You could've used one of my fav strategies for the rubbish 'in the lead' power-ups. Fire off the bomb, and then activate your invisible buff. Kills the racer ahead but you're fine!
This video takes me back to when I played this game, it's one of my favourites on the N64
Man this is such an awesome unique series. I’ve been loving every episode. Thanks for the great content!
I loved this series back in the N64 era.
Absolutely loved this series as a kid. Hope you get the sequel soon while this is still fresh on your mind!
This is such a great idea for a series thab. Love everything about it
If you like this, check out TMR, he beat all NES games a few years ago
I love this game!! My childhood was snowboard kids 1 and 2!! Such an underatted gem.
the Ninja character was called shinobin if I recall correctly. You could unlock him aswell. I LOVED this game so much.
I love the "what the heck is that?" at the end of a lot of these videos
Snowboard Kids is one of the best racing games outside of Mario Kart and Diddy Kong Racing on the N64.
Snowboard Kids also has a sequel that you might also play eventually on the N64.
one of the best n64 games. a sealed copy of this recently sold for more than $8000 in auction
This was one of my favorite Blockbuster pick ups as a kid
I love this game, this series, and this channel.
Only thing missing is " i love you"
I'm not sure if it was this one or snowboard kids 2, but I am pretty sure you can use the invisible board to dodge bomb explosions (and also those plates that fall from the sky and hit everyone). Basically the invisible board is invincibility. Also I thought you could shoot bombs backwards, but that might also be snowboard kids #2. As you can tell I mostly played snowboard kids 2, though #1 is pretty fun too and even better in some ways I would say.
This game looks so fun. Can't wait for you to play snowboard kids 2
That soundtrack though! Amazing. Thanks for these!
Wow! I completely forgot about this game. I’m getting so much nostalgia. Thank you Thabeast!!!
I'm not 100% certain but I seem to remember in the second game, when you get to it, that you can actually smack some projectiles back at the opponent with a well timed front flip. I can't remember if it's in the first game or not either.
The main reward for completing the Ninja Land is not the board, it‘s that you have unlocked the Ninja as playable character.
I'm so glad I saw this one! Definately my favorite n64 game.
Me and my bro used to rent this game all the time. Such a great multiplayer game.
The game Penny Racers was another great N64 multiplayer game.
I've been watching you for years, I'm so excited your burnt out on mario maker because I am too. This series is so refreshing, keep up the good work.

This game was DOPE. Congrats on beating it. Took me a while the first time when I was a kid.
love snow board kids and you are so funny ty for this every week
i played every n64 games 3 years ago (not clearing them) and this so fun to watch
Yes! I've been looking forward to this synopsis video all week!
Loved this game as a kid. Tommy with an alpine board pretty much unbeatable if you can master the turning.
I never played Mario Kart as a kid, but I feel like Diddy Kong Racing + Snowboard Kids was a good substitute.
Quicksand Valley is the most brutal level in the game. It's a big difficulty spike for most newer players and most will struggle.
Many speedruns die to that level, tight turns, pits and RNG. don't feel bad.
If you hold jump for 5 seconds and release, it gives you a big boost. also drop the rocks on the bottom / top of the lift
brings back such good memories! love your voice dude it's very soothing
It's nice to know that some of the games I've played as kid actually happened and wasn't just a fever dream.
Love the soundtrack in this game. I actually looked for some remixes a while ago.
5:10 it's a pan, not a disc. From the water bucket door gag but in Japan they use a big pan instead
I love this series!
Watching you discover one game after another is so awesome
My favorite weapon is the parachute, hot an enemy at the right time and they can sail slowly down to the bottom of a cliff
Totally thought this game was a fever dream... but the nostalgia Totally worth watching!!! 10/10
Seeing this, I will inform you that becoming invisible should even prevent explosions from harming you, so you could have pulled some clutch moments with that technique! :D
I loved this game back then! It's awesome!
Absolute gem of a game. Nicely done!
Best OST on the n64!
My dad hated this game because in multiplayer, if you so much as come in 2nd place - big letter and a screaming guy will say “YOU LOSE”
The ending credit movie feels like 2016 youtube kids content. That plot makes as much sense as Elsa and Spiderman go to the Doctor toy unboxing with slime?!?!
I ground the heck out of this game when I was a kid and without your vid I would have never remember it even existed. Subbed!
They need to bring this back, this is my childhood.
And with this video I'm officially caught up, and on a game I have fond memories of! It's been a lot of fun so far, and now I have a weekly series to look forward to!

Thank you for this series, helps me comb through which games I want to try and which just seemed like good games.
What did you think of the controls for turok?
This game and the sequel were my whole childhood
The metal disc power up is a bed pan. Classic slapstick
I have so much memories with the sequel of this game.
