About

<h2>Overview</h2><p>SSX Tricky is the second game in the <a data-ref-id="3030-1932" href="/ssx/3030-1932/" slug="ssx">SSX</a> franchise, developed by <a data-ref-id="3010-69" href="/ea-canada/3010-69/" slug="ea-canada">EA Canada</a> and published under the now-defunct <a data-ref-id="3010-6277" href="/ea-sports-big/3010-6277/" slug="ea-sports-big">EA Sports BIG</a> label. The game adds a number of new colorful characters and courses. It also expands on some of the more popular courses from the original SSX game. Tricky was released in 2001, a year after the original SSX.</p><h2><b>Gameplay Modes</b></h2><p>In SSX Tricky, there are three modes of gameplay in which you may use, some of which may help you to practice and others of which you may compete.</p><h3><b>Freeride</b></h3><p>The Freeride mode of gameplay does not allow you to unlock characters, boards or outfits, but is basically <em>just-for-fun</em>. It enables you to play with either one or two players, as well as allowing you to get to know the course. This also helps players get a better feel for courses they haven't played, or courses that they cant beat in the World Circuit mode.</p><h3><b>Practice</b></h3><p>Practice Mode is a great place for beginners to get the opportunity to get used to snowboarding. As in Freeride, you have the ability to do what you wish, and to practice tricks.</p><h3><b>World Circuit</b></h3><p>In the World Circuit mode, you have the ability to unlock characters, boards and outfits by racing and competing in events. There are two main categories of events; Race and Show-off. In both events, the player must compete in the Quarter- and Semi-finals, and then in the Finals and get within the top three places to "win" that track; the medals are bronze, silver, and gold</p><p>There are eight tracks to complete. When racing, you must attempt to stay in the lead of your five opponents. In show-off, you are required to perform as many fancy tricks as you can and obtain as many points as you can.</p><p>If this mode is completed in Race, the extra track "Untracked" is unlocked for Freeplay. Similar to Showoff is Pipedream.</p><h3><b>Single Event</b></h3><p>Single Event takes, as its name suggests, one of the events over a single heat from World Circuit mode. Medals are awarded at the end of the track, and a second human player can be added.</p><h2>Characters</h2><ul><li><a data-ref-id="3005-313" href="/eddie/3005-313/" slug="eddie">Eddie Wachowski</a></li><li>Broderick 'Brodi' Ford</li><li><a data-ref-id="3005-2225" href="/psymon-stark/3005-2225/" slug="psymon-stark">Psymon Stark</a></li><li><a data-ref-id="3005-313" href="/eddie/3005-313/" slug="eddie">Kaori Nishidake</a></li><li><a data-ref-id="3005-313" href="/eddie/3005-313/" slug="eddie">Mackenzie 'Mac' Fraser</a></li><li><a data-ref-id="3005-313" href="/eddie/3005-313/" slug="eddie">Moby Jones</a></li><li><a data-ref-id="3005-313" href="/eddie/3005-313/" slug="eddie">Zoe Payne</a></li><li><a href="../../eddie/94-313/" rel="nofollow ">Jean-Paul 'JP' Arsenault</a></li><li>Luther-Dwayne Grady</li><li>Seeiah Owens</li><li>Marisol Diez Delgado</li><li><a data-ref-id="3005-857" href="/elise-riggs/3005-857/" slug="elise-riggs">Elise Riggs</a></li></ul><h2>Courses</h2><ul><li>Garibaldi (based on <a data-ref-id="3035-32" href="/mt-girabaldi/3035-32/" slug="mt-girabaldi">Mt.
