Summary

Shaun Palmer's Pro Snowboarder captures the same kinetic rush you get from the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series, but swaps skate decks for snowboards. The roster is a who's‑who of early‑2000s snowboarding, featuring Shaun Palmer himself alongside Ross Powers and Shaun White, among nine other pros. A neat Easter egg lets you unlock a demo right from the options menu of the PlayStation 2 version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, a nod to the games’ shared DNA. The title’s development history is a little saga: it began at UEP Systems—the studio behind the original Cool Boarders—before the company folded, sending most of the team to Dear Soft to finish the job. Plans for a sequel by Treyarch and a handheld version by Vicarious Visions were announced, but both were ultimately scrapped, leaving this handheld gem as the sole legacy of that era.
