Play Winter Gold Online
Tiny pixel athletes shred down slopes and crash hilariously—mash buttons to keep your bobsled upright or send your skier flipping wildly off a jump. Somehow this little cartridge makes you care about nailing that perfect run.
Winter Gold was a 1996 Game Boy release from developer/publisher Nintendo, arriving in the handheld's later years when developers were pushing the hardware's limits with more ambitious sports and action titles. It stood out as one of the few winter sports games on the platform, offering a condensed take on events like skiing and bobsledding without the graphical flash of its console counterparts.
You control an athlete in events such as downhill skiing, ski jumping, and bobsled, with the main goal being to post the fastest time or longest jump possible. Signature mechanics include timing your button presses to build speed on slopes, balancing your bobsled to avoid wiping out, and nailing the takeoff and landing angles in ski jump for maximum distance. The pacing is quick, with short runs that encourage repetition, though the physics can be unforgiving and lead to frequent crashes. It feels satisfying when you finally thread a clean line down the mountain or stick a big jump without face planting.
