The Good

The Bad

Summary Text

The original 6 characters are fairly standard Japanese stereotypes – talk cool African American guy with sunglasses, blond haired American guy draped in the stars and stripes, cute short girl with cropped hair, the female with a love related theme (her team is White Kiss), default Japanese guy, and the Frenchman with a mustache.
There are 6 unlockable rivals whose levels are actually really cool extreme takes. They include a volcano, a sandstorm, Antarctica, a hot air balloon fest, and then the Nazca Lines.
Two characters are featured but apparently not playable. The only two folks you never seem to control are the instructor who opens the game’s opening cinema, and then the camera man who makes a cameo in the credits.
A wonderful nod to teasing players with this one. The 6 unlockable rivals are all featured in the end credits of the game but never mentioned.

These are unlockable goodies for Skydiving Extreme.
