In Skate City, there are four events for a skateboarder to complete. They are: Ramp (the highest-scoring event), Downhill, Slalom (the player has to pass between pairs of blue flags spread along the course), Jump (there is a series of ramps and the player has to hit a bull’s-eye target off the screen; most difficult). In each event, the player gets points and money for high scores. There are a skate shops all over the park. You can upgrade your gear there and also improve your skills. There are competitions, to take part in and earn medals and cash to use in the shops. Only, if you don't get to a competition in time, the infamous “Skate Or Die” message will appear, and then you really will have to hurry.
