Wasa B. must then skate through eight unique levels, defeat the bosses who guard the portal's power source, and finally face-off with the evil Dr. Skeezkicks, who masterminded the abduction.

Gameplay

The game plays out on scooters. Different buttons allow you to perform various tricks. There are six different modes you can play in, eight different levels, seven unlockable characters and ten unlockable scooters. In each Story Mode and Co-op Story Mode level, there are seven objectives to finish.

Other objectives include getting a certain score, recovering 3 music discs, defeat the two bosses and destroy the generator.

Whenever the player finishes a Race, a new character is unlocked as well as a specific "Sick" move. Scooters are unlocked by collecting 20 Scooter Tokens scattered around levels. There are 20 Scooter Tokens in each level. Scooter Tokens are blue colored.

Tricks

The player can perform many different tricks from grinds, lips, air tricks and manuals. Performing tricks fills the adrenaline bar up. When the adrenaline bar is full, the player may use "Sick" tricks. Sick tricks give a lot more points than normal tricks. At any point, the player may spend adrenaline by holding down Z (Gamecube version) or L2 (PS2 version), which makes you go faster, and is useful for races.
