Skate or Die! is a sports video game for the Nintendo Entertainment System that centers on a multi-event skateboarding competition. Players participate in various challenges, such as racing and performing tricks, along with a combat mode against the character Bionic Lester. The game blends action with strategic gameplay, delivering a distinctive skateboarding experience.
Hop on your suped-up board and cruise into the wildest multi-event contest ever dreamed of by man or beast. Three of these twisted trials are cut from the concrete courses of pro competitions. Each pits you head to head with a friend, shooting ramps or racing downhill, while going for rock n' rolls, hand plants, aerials, rail slides and methods! Then blast into `Mad Max on Wheels`, dueling to the death with Bionic Lester, the dirtiest dude in the jam and joust. And finally `Skate and Destroy`, a challenge that'll turn you into a Samurai skater, karate chopping your way through a tough alley filled with thugs, trash and unmentionable traffic hazards. So squirt a little oil onto your ball bearings, and prepare to Skate or Die!
