Story & Setting

World Tour is a campaign mode that follows the story of team SSX tackling the 9 deadly descents.

Gameplay & Core Systems

As you perform tricks you acquire points which build up your "Tricky" meter. You can use your Tricky points as boost to increase your speed or you let the meter fill up completely to enter Tricky mode. In general, the objective of survival mode is to reach the bottom of the run without dying or in some tracks finish multiple runs of the track without dying. The three game modes are World Tour, Explore and Global Events. Explore is basically a "free roam" or "play now" mode where players can go to any run and play provided they unlocked it world tour or spent in game credits to unlock it.
