Play Xtreme Sports Online

Xtreme Sports came out on the Game Boy Color in 2000, developed by WayForward Technologies. It was part of that wave of late-era GBC titles that tried to push the hardware a little further, often with more detailed sprites and a brighter color palette. The game stood out for its strange premise, even among other sports titles of the time.

You choose one of several athletes to compete in events like skateboarding, inline skating, and BMX across a fictional island. The main goal is to win competitions and collect sponsorship cans from a fictional drink brand, Twitchy Shakes, to unlock new areas and gear. The gameplay involves navigating obstacle-filled courses, performing tricks for points, and racing against rivals. The controls are responsive but demand precision, especially for linking combos, and the difficulty ramps up noticeably in later tournaments. It feels like a condensed, slightly chaotic take on extreme sports, where finding the right line through a course is just as important as pulling off a flashy move.
