Skate or Die: Tour de Thrash is a 1991 skateboarding video game for the original Game Boy that was only released in North America. It was sponsored by Santa Cruz Skateboards.
Summary
There are two possible gaming modes; one allows players to skate across a half-pipe and perform a series of skateboarding stunts.[3] The second mode requires players to compete in global skateboarding tournaments trying to navigate through a half-pipe race in less than three minutes.[3] Sometimes, rival skaters can get in the way of the player's performance.[3] Concrete walls can be collided with; causing the player to lose time on his already strict time limit.[3] While making stunts is a vital part of the "Retro Rocket Ramp" mode, racing becomes more important in the "Stale Fish Tour" mode.[3]
