DESCRIPTION

Ride the waves with six-time World Champion surfer Kelly Slater and eight other world-class professionals in Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer for GBA. Five gameplay modes are available: Championship (12 stages, three heats per stage), Challenge (Trick, Points, and Special), Tutorial (learn controls and tricks), Drop In (instant practice action), and Multiplayer (requires two systems, two game paks, and one link cable). Individual surfers are rated in balance, speed, timing, and air, and include personal data such as hometown, achievements, and age, as well as a short bio of each in the manual.

In addition to Slater, featured surfers include Lisa Andersen, Tom Curren, Tom Carroll, Kalani Robb, Rob Machado, Bruce Irons, Nathan Fletcher, and Donavon Frankenreiter. Players perform tricks, barrels, grabs, aerials, and more at Bell's Beach, Trestles, Curren's Point, Sebastien Inlet, Mundaka, Jeffrey's Bay, G-Land, Pipeline, Mavericks, Waimea Bay, Teahupoo, and Jaws. To help smooth out the waves, onscreen displays include score, timer, combo, message line, special move meter, wave indicator, game mode, and difficulty settings. ~ Michael L. House, All Game Guide
