The game uses an overhead isometric-like view as the player skates around a central park area connected to four main events. The rotating joystick handles movement direction and aerial spins, while the button is used for jumping. Each event has different goals, such as performing tricks, passing gates, racing downhill, or achieving long jumps. Players must earn enough points and tickets to keep entering events, avoid hazards like attacking bees, and manage time carefully to continue progressing.
