The "Flying Tomato" returns to the slopes with more outrageous stunts, backcountry exploration, and multiplayer challenges in Shaun White Snowboarding: World Stage. Players join White and his friends as they travel to eight distinct locations around the world, from grabbing insane air off the half-pipe in Times Square, to carving through powder in the Italian Alps. There are 16 events, including new boardercross races, and 75 unique challenges in all, with gamers increasing their prestige and unlocking new characters, equipment, and stickers at every stop. The game lets players recruit new characters at every location, and each of the 15 riders introduces a variety of new tricks and an entirely new way to shred. Solo gamers choose a rider, then pick a companion snowboarder to videotape the run, offer power-ups, and occasionally sabotage competitors, with the ultimate goal of gaining enough prestige to take on the best riders in the world. Controls are once again fully optimized for the Wii Balance Board, and gamers looking for multiplayer action can enlist the help of three friends in co-op "Career" mode, square off in competitive action, or upload their best scores to online leaderboards and see how they measure up to the rest of the world.
