Disney Sports Skateboarding (ディズニースポーツ：スケートボーディング, Dizunī Supōtsu: Sukētobōdingu), are a pair of 2002 sports video games released by Konami, one for the GameCube, and the other for the Game Boy Advance.

Gameplay

The game includes eight worlds with skating-objectives and collectibles, more than 40 tricks, and five game modes, including two-player simultaneous play. In each zone, the player's main objective is to find and retrieve various checkpoints within a time limit. Players can choose from a variety of Disney characters, including: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Max Goof and Pete, and customize their outfits and skateboards.[1]

Reception

The game received "unfavorable" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[2][3] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 29 out of 40 for the GameCube version,[5] and 22 out of 40 for the Game Boy Advance version.[4]

GameSpot said the GameCube version was worse than Disney Sports Basketball. They went on to say: "Disney Sports Skateboarding serves no purpose in this world, save to exemplify and showcase everything that can feasibly go wrong with a skateboarding game."[1] GameSpot also said of the GBA version: "Even if you take into account that Disney Sports Skateboarding is intended for a younger audience, that excuse doesn't explain away all of the game's problems and shortcomings."[7]
