Line 11:
Now with a Character Sheet under construction.
* '''''SSX''' (2000):'' The first game in the series, and one of the launch games for the [[
* '''''SSX Tricky''' (2001):'' The second game, ''Tricky'' was arguably the high point for the series. It took its still somewhat modest predecessor and turned the craziness [[Up to Eleven]] by [[Flanderization|Flanderizing]] the entire cast and including so-called Übertricks, in which boarders pull their board off their feet and use them in suicidal acrobatic maneuvers, ranging form breakdancing to faking an execution.
* '''''SSX 3''' (2003):'' Took the basic gameplay features of ''Tricky'' and set all racing events on the creatively-named Big Mountain, thereby introducing a [[Wide Open Sandbox]] mechanic. As a result, the track diversity suffered somewhat and the general quirkiness of ''Tricky'' was played down a notch. However, some fans consider it to be the best game in the series.
Line 21:
* [[Acrofatic]]: Luther.
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Elise's profile on SSX Tricky lists her favourite movie as ''[[
* [[Alpha Bitch]]: Elise Riggs.
* [[Ax Crazy]]: Psymon.
Line 27:
* [[Badbutt]]: Since Tricky is E-rated, some of the characters have that "[[Gosh Dang It to Heck|Can't swear, but REALLY WANT TO]]" issue; Elise in particular (she seems to think that [[Large Ham|SHOUTING EVERYTHING MAKES HER AWESOME]]).
* [[Bald Women|Bald Woman]]: Seeiah.
* [[Bigfoot, Sasquatch, and Yeti]]: Bigfoot and the Yeti are ''both'' playable in ''3'' as "NW Legend" and "NE Legend", respectively.

Line 53:

* [[Guest Fighter]]: Stretch from EA's ''NBA Street'' games is playable in ''3''.
** [[Super Mario Bros.|Mario, Luigi, and Princess Peach]] are playable on the Gamecube version of ''SSX on Tour''.
* [[Half-Human Hybrid]]: Not literally, but by his own account Moby is "Half man, half amazing, all Moby!" In a more literal sense, some of his costume options paint him as a werewolf. Seriously.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]]: Much of the cast in ''Tricky'', but most are exclusive to that particular game.
Line 73:
* [[Institutional Apparel]]: A staple of Psymon's alternate costumes.
* [[Intercontinuity Crossover]]: DJ Atomika would eventually show up in [[Burnout|Burnout Paradise]]. Unfortunately, he did so with 80% less entertaining dialog.
* [[
* [[Jerkass]]: Luther. He is so much so that only JP is willing to be friends with him.
* [[Jiggle Physics]]: As applied to [[Funny Afro|Eddie's afro.]]
Line 83:
* [[Noodle Incident]]: Several in ''3'', courtesy of DJ Atomika from EA RADIO BIG, including the "orange cat incident", the "dreaded snow snakes", and various Big Mountain events from before the game.
* [[Gimmick Level]]: Each of the Deadly Descents in ''SSX 2012'' are focused around a particular hazard that serves as the stage's name: [[Hair-Trigger Avalanche|Avalanche]], Ice, Rock, Trees, Cold, Thin Air, [[Bottomless Pits|Gravity]], [[Blackout Basement|Darkness]], Whiteout.
* [[Oddball in
* [[One Hundred Percent Completion]]: In ''SSX 3'', getting gold on all the races, getting gold on all the freestyle events, finishing all the "Big Challenges", buying all the outfits and everything else from the stores, and finding all of the hidden snowflakes.
** {{spoiler|And all you get is a Yeti.}}
Line 90:
** Elise: "Canadian girls kick butt!"
* [[Plot-Relevant Age-Up]]: Griff in ''SSX 2012'', coupled with [[Took a Level In Jerkass]].
* [[Pretty Fly for
* [[Psycho Electro]]: Psymon doesn't have electric powers, but his erratic mental condition is the result of being electrocuted by powerlines during an ill-advised BMX stunt.
* [[Put
** Eddie was also brought back for ''SSX 2012'', as free [[Downloadable Content]].
* [[Real Song Theme Tune]]: A remixed version of Run-DMC's "It's Tricky" for ''SSX Tricky''. See also [[Crowning Music of Awesome]].
Line 116:
* [[Totally Radical]]
* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: In ''Tricky'', Psymon and Moby couldn't stand each other. In ''3'', Moby's mellowed out enough to become this with Psymon.
* [[Wearing a Flag
* [[Wide Open Sandbox]]: In the third and fourth games.
** Also present in ''SSX 2012''. [[The Dev Team Thinks of Everything|Ridiculously high cliffs on the edges of the tracks are meant to keep you somewhat on them]], but if you get enough air-time and send yourself in the right direction...
