This may seem a little far-fetched, so if you think I’m mad then it won’t heart my feelings if you let me know. : -D. Anyway. On with the game!
Right, we’ve got loads of snowboarding, skate boarding and Winter Olympic games but what about Extreme Sports? It could be like loads of different gams mixed into one. The sports included could be: White Water Rafting, Mountain Climbing/Abseiling, Skydiving, Hand-gliding, Downhill Roller Skating and SkyBoarding. You could have championships spanning a number or all of the events, or you could choose individual events.
Now I’ll give you a little bit of a run-down on how all the events will work.
White Water Rafting: A number of locations are available for you to raft in. There could be certain obstacles like sharp rocks and waterfalls. Races could be held or you could do stunt challenges.
Mountain Climbing/Abseiling: Simple enough really, a race to the top of a mountain. The mountain heights get higher and higher as you complete more and more of the stages. Mt. Everest could be the final mountain for you to traverse. Wild life could be dotted around the mountains that could bite or distract a climber. Abseiling would just be a laugh!
Skydiving: A bit like the Pilotwings skydiving mini-game. Jumping out of a plane and trying to land on a target on the ground. Points would be awarded for the more accurate jumps. A stunt mode could be included in this as well. Halo jumping is a version of Skydiving where you actually jump straight into water. This could be included as a reward for good skydiving.
Hand-Gliding: A race to see who can get to a certain place first. A map would be provided showing the destination and "You are here"
Downhill Roller Skating: A race. Stunt mode could be included with a special arena designed for stunts. With Ramps and rails and half pipes and so on.
Skyboarding: reletivley new sport. It’s basically sky diving with a snowboard attached to you. This would be included as an extra level. Only a stunt mdoe could be included for this event.
So, what format could this come out on? PC is out of the question, but every other console would be perfect for this. The main buttons control the speed, and altitude. If played on the N64 the C buttons could be perfect for the mountain climbing, C up making you go up C left making your climber go left… Control stick and button combinations is how you would perform stunts.
The gameplay would be a cross between the International Track and Field games (ie. Mad button bashing affair) and racing games like Gran Turismo and Wave Race.
The backround track could be provided by Xzibit, Dr.Dre, Roxette, Areosmith or Lenny Kravitz. If a sunt goes wrong or the player falls off a mountain there would be screams and/or sighs of relief when they fall into water (come on we can’t kill them!) the screams could be done by Kelis ( :-) )
Up to 15 characters are available to choose from. Only 8 would be choosable initially but by completing the tasks in set times or by getting a set amount of points, secret characters would be unlocked. Each character would have their own weak and strong points, with some being better at pulling complicated stunts while others are very speedy. However at least one must be called Rasta Billy Skank :-D
Developed by THQ and published by Nintendo it would be called Xtreme Sports costing £34.99 and sold at all good game stores. :-)
Well, that’s my idea! Tell me what you think.

Maybe the unlockable characters could be people from other games like Mario, Link.
