Build your "Freaky Meter" with spins, flips, grabs, and grinds to unleash Wicked Tricks and Wicked Grinds, complex tricking combinations that'll score big points. The Superman, The Worm, and The Space Cowboy are some of the many Wicked Tricks you can unleash as you speed through your run. Tricky Madness boasts eight standalone maps in full release, featuring branching paths, shortcuts, and hidden areas. With these surprises to uncover, players can blaze a new path run after run. The game's campaign mode will feature a connected mountain with secrets and collectibles of its own to uncover, and three game modes test your skills in freestyle, time trials, and races. Tricky Madness is complete with an in-game DJ commentator ready to hype up your best moves. Drop into hours of replayable fun as you explore, optimize, and compete in this modern take on the cult classics.
