Disney Sports Skateboarding - Square Eyed Jak

While THPS and it's competitors flooded the PlayStation and Xbox marketplaces, Disney looked towards Nintendo's Gamecube to dominate the extreme sports market spawning the Disney Sports series which included one poorly received skateboarding title.

[@Tailzkip]

I can't get over how the characters just look constantly pissed...There's looking "cool" and then there's just looking pissed because Disney forced you into yet another shovel ware game.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Hey I’d be pissed too if I was in this game!

[@therealrockstargamer]

​@@SquareEyedJak I'm pissed that they forced a good game company like Konami into shovelware s***

[@Beengus]

Cant get more rad than a 1930s cartoon characters eating pavement while trying to skateboard

[@ChaseMC215]

Pete in a nutshell

[@NGB1122]

You'd think that having cartoon characters in an extreme sports game would be a recipe for success. Tony Hawk games really took liberties with how one could skate and defy physics, but with cartoon characters there are so many more possibilities. But almost every cartoony skateboarding game I've seen doesn't take full advantage of it.

[@QWERTYCommander]

What about Go Go Hypergrind?

[@feIon]

it is. check out disney extreme skate adventure. it's actually incredible

[@NGB1122]

@@QWERTYCommander While the aesthetics look good, I've never heard any good things about the gameplay from others. Then again, I have yet to play it, so I can't truly judge it.

[@jammychoo]

Does the Jet Set Radio duology count?

[@baalfgames5318]

To be fair, Disney had another Skateboarding game that was actually pretty good. ...And you can be the elephant from Tazan. ...Though TBF, they kinda cheated by using the Tony Hawk engine.

[@ivangabriel4868]

The intros alone have me with a giant f'n grin. So glad to see you back mate!

[@franzpattison]

Right at 6:30 when Jack started to freak out, by Internet cut out. It's like even the entire WWW had enough and bailed

[@JomasterTheSecond]

They made Goofy actually ride goofy foot. Nice job, _KONAMI._

[@officialFredDurstfanclub]

Holy FUCK it’s Kamiyuuu

[@twinkling_topaz14]

I remember Caddicarus talking about this game in his video on bad skateboarding games. He called it "Disney Sports Roadkill" and honestly, that's pretty accurate for this game. I enjoyed the review! I can't wait to see the next one!

[@NanaKyoto]

It's almost as if the game was designed as a downhill skateboard racing game first (because of the time limit and checkpoints that extend the time make it feel like it's trying to be an arcade racer), but then at the last minute, decided to fill the levels with Pro Skater like objectives, it just doesn't mesh well at all.

[@Chipsticks93]

Maybe they heard that THPS1 was originally a downhill racer turned into a free-roam objective game and thought they'd do the same cause it worked the first time

[@PandaMoniumReviews]

Gotta love a game where the tutorial area is its best level.

[@n1njahawkssecondchannel84]

Yep the tutorial area yay 🤦‍♂️

[@El_Keck]

Me myself: Yes! Hawktober's back baby! It's Airblade time. Jack: This time we are reviewing Disney games. Me myself: Oh god! This is even better!

[@GundamrussGaming]

I never knew Disney had a sports network series growing up and I'm glad I didn't lol. Great review Jak enjoyable as always mate.

[@RexBebopHD]

Having you back on a consistent basis in the sub box is a magical time, Jak. Hawktober is just the icing on the cake.

[@cicabeot1]

This game’s existence feels weird to me. I know Disney was no stranger to trying to adopt 90s attitude, but Mickey Mouse trying to be extreme like this feels very dated. From a company who can be considered timeless at their best. Also, a part of me expected Simpsons Skateboarding to be a part of the lineup when I found out it was gonna be Disney themed. I’m decidedly hyped for tomorrow’s video.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Very much so!

[@ADragonNerd]

Mickey trying to seem cool in general is hilarious and doesn't work. The only exception to me is when Mickey is like a mob boss since he represents how Disney has taken over nearly all forms of media

[@Sixma-ej5vp]

Nintendo's Plumber gives off his cool vibe better than Disney's rodent that's for sure.

[@SantiagoMonroy5]

These stages look straight out of the Sonic Adventure games lol

[@n1njahawk]

Exactly both 1&2

[@legoclayface]

Except Sonic Adventure's stages actually look better

[@gamerguy425]

As for the unlockable outfits, that wreaks of "unfinished feature". Perhaps it's a penta penguin situation where they were unfinished and left to a cheat code that they never bothered to put in a cheat book, or they're just not there period and they didn't remove it from the menu/advertising. Feels like lost media almost...

[@ShreddexReturn]

I had Disneys extreme skate adventure when I was a kid. I didn’t even know this game existed

[@Saxdude26]

5:41 I'll be honest, right here I get less THPS and more Rail Canyon from Sonic Heroes. Well, this is going to be interesting. 🤔 Also, "Missus Rodent" XD

[@n1njahawk]

Really does look like Sonic heroes Rail Canyon And the first level looks like The first Sonic adventure 2 level

[@fromvault801]

This for gamecube was always on the shelf at the rental store & I wondered why anyone would rent this over a real skateboarding game. & now it only exists as a footnote in Hawktober

[@IanMcGarr]

Great to see a new video from you. Hope all is well. Disney did do the Disney Extreme Skate game using the THPS4 engine and layout. It'll always have a special place in my heart, many days skating and playing that game with my cousin, RIP Dooie. ☝

[@feIon]

i have a feeling he's gonna cover that banger soon

[@sarasaland4709]

Jak, there’s only one word to describe this game NOLLIE!

[@AriGrande]

lmaoo

[@mowsie2k492]

dude i love your channel man

[@Bradman162]

I had this game as a kid! I never knew about the other Disney Sports Game! I would have eaten those up. I remember finding the announcers funny but upon hearing them again, my brain and ears finally connected 😬 When I was 8 this game was fine, although I never understood the level design. I eventually traded this game in for Disney Extreme Skate Adventure and oh boy! I found that one so much better! Thanks for making me feel nostalgic with this amazing video Jak! I look forward to the rest of Hawktober and if you ever cover those other disney sports games in the future! Have a good one!

[@erugurara8235]

if there is something good i can say about these games is that they have a very clean 2000s asthetic hud, as a desiner id say they make a very good job giving the games show a radical feeling, i really like how the character faces show in a cut out before jumping into the screen, that is a cool introduction.

[@raphaelpatenaude5723]

I guess that's why later they said "fuck it, if we want to make a Disney skating game, let's just get it done by the people who does the Tony Hawk's series"

[@mattbaillargeon5688]

Hey Jak, love your stuff bro! Keep up the good work!

[@gregzotter6189]

I'm not surprised the Disney Sports line failed after less than a year, whereas Mario's is still around.

[@olszes1952]

Ayy, I love how you used the skate remix of the mgs2 theme. Great video :)

[@southseabronx]

great work Jak! hope you get a load more subs & patrons you deserve it for constantly smashing Hawktober every year, end up rewatching the whole catalogue every time!!!

[@mladjo1012]

Jak is back. He's already been back. But now he's even backer!

[@soreyJr]

What I look forward to every year.

[@RyantheGTFalcon]

I can’t get enough of the word “Nollie” every single second cuz god it’s just so funny but I understand you don’t like hearing it every second. Which explains why it gives you a complaint. Now I know why, Infact I so need to get a Gamecube and this game to see how good it is but overall this video is just straight up facts out of the box.

[@DAcheekO]

Your getting closer to disney extreme skate adventure…. But no there yet :(

[@nathninetyone]

Man I love that game!!

[@olegcrysis1]

Imagine if there was a parallel universe where Hawktober was a national holiday, while some KZbin made halloween month where he reviewed all Halo games.

[@BranSnakes]

A Disney Sports series created by KONAMI... How have I never heard about this?!

[@jakegamester9443]

Love seeing new upload from square eyed jak!!! Thanks for your work mate!

[@bobafett4265]

Woot that tease for Simpson's Skateboarding at the end, woah it's gonna be good. 😄

[@SDK2K9]

Which game has the most annoying announcer? This game with its *NOLLIE* guy, or The Simpsons Skateboarding with it's Kent Brockman?

[@JM-pm1yb]

I forgot how fun your videos are dude!

[@n1njahawk]

18:30 I laughed 🤣 so hard When I saw this Keep it up Jak Can’t wait for your next video

[@rainbowsparkle122]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but you can get the alternate costumes. unfortunately you do it by clearing every side mission. Thankfully you get one for doing them in more than one run, but I feel like there's also another costume for doing them all in one go. Not really worth the trouble.

[@officialFredDurstfanclub]

There’s nothing more hardcore than a nearly 100 year old cartoon mouse ripping gnarly tricks on the board

[@Real1Gaming]

KZbin randomly recommended me this. What a nice channel, I think I'll subscribe!

[@DaNargh42]

All of those levels are literally from Sonic Adventure/s or Sonic Heroes

[@jordan4547]

Yeah it’s very weird

[@FormalGibble]

God I'm dumb. I didn't remember that the Simpsons ARE Disney now! Oh God what an awful place the world can be sometimes. Anyway this marathon version of hawktober has been great so far, really loving it!

[@nobodyinparticular9640]

"There's always tomorrow" And tomorrow I'll, invent those blueprints~

[@crashtefano]

I had to pause the video for a moment after that Mickey "Rodent" Mouse impression. Then I realized October is also the month of Halloween, so it's alright

[@TheSuperSmashBros01]

“If you want to be laughed at and be called a virgin, you play as Pete.” Damn Jak

[@Vintagesonic1]

Hawktober is finally back!

[@rileykazama3145]

I enjoy your videos keep up the good work

[@kokotheclown2588]

Don’t forget Disney skateboarding featuring all your favorites like toy story Tarzan and many more

[@MorbyGanaWho]

It's Disney Sports ROADKILL!!!

[@THEELEMENTKH]

The predecesor of Kingdom Hearts 2's skateboarding minigame /s

[@SquareEyedJak]

How the fuck have I NEVER heard about this? KHII has been on my backlog for so many years, think it's time to finally check it out.

[@THEELEMENTKH]

@@SquareEyedJak it is EXTREMELY basic (edit: and barebones), but it's decent enough to do stupid skateboarding stuff

[@brandonmason1015]

6:58 it sounds like Where Eagles Dare by the misfits.

[@ShOscar]

At least this game knows what nollies are NOLLIE NOLLIE NOLLIE SHIIIIT DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUDE

[@fromthegamethrone]

I belly laughed at "if you want to be laughed at and called a virgin"

[@bandicootsauce4569]

"GnArLy!" Good grief, that's aggravating.

[@joshspears3951]

You do love skate board games alot Well in that case I recommend to try (disney extreme skate adventure)

[@SeanORaigh]

The opening notes of the Simpsons skateboarding theme brought bile into my throat

[@HopeyHQ]

Legit thought you were gonna announce Disney extreme skate as the next review, surprised by the simpsons reveal! Can’t wait

[@Danziii]

this vid is GNARLY

[@ciel-9373]

Cant wait for extreme Skate Adventure

[@Ryo]

I had this as a kid and couldn't even beat the first level

[@SharonisCarin321]

Jak don't even DARE try to collect them all these Disney Konami sports games are RARE AND EXPENSIVE AS HELL

[@blazeymix]

Fun video. Can't wait for the next one

[@LTJfan]

Oh boy...something tells me SEJ is gonna go ballistic when he plays The Simpsons Skateboarding

[@gamerlunayt]

Ah, shit. He’s actually gonna review The Simpson’s Skateboarding.

[@n1njahawk]

I can’t wait to see what he has to say

[@iain2k7]

I guess Gex was desperate for work after the PS1 and had to take up this narration gig..

[@kingdanett4043]

I played this as a kid and I never got past the first level. I don't even think I knew about the checkpoints though and just played it like a collectathon. I got the rom for this game and the Extreame Skate game because I didn't remember which one was the one I played. I'll watch both your videos though

[@tonytheriault1186]

Just checked eBay, and the cheapest buy it now price for this game in English is over $30 Canadian…for a loose disk. The cheapest CIB copy is about 10-15 dollars more. Not going to get it, but I thought it would be fun to see if I could afford it with pocket change. Boy, was I ever wrong. The GBA version is about $5 loose. That’s the good news. The bad news is, the cheapest CIB copy of the GBA cart is over $60, which is about the same as most of the Game Cube versions.

[@Jorgemagottnumber9]

Those levels looks awfully familiar, the first level is just City Scape from Sonic adventure 2, the pinball machine looks like Casino Park from Sonic Heroes and the amusement park looks like the one in Sonic Adventure 1, even the canyon level with the monorails looks like the one from Sonic Heroes too

[@SwiftyStardust]

Oh yeah, The Simpsons is technically Disney now, isn't it?

[@e93sports80]

I hope you get to 50k subs soon Jak.

[@jaredg4683]

5:55 to 6:42 killed me

[@Mr.BeastFacts]

Maybe one year you could do Mort the Chicken, Chicken Run, Chicken Little and Rocketbirds: Hardboiled Chicken… *Cawktober*

[@timtams877]

Fuck yes I love hawktober

[@kei_nishimaru]

Letting my eyes go bloodshot doesn’t sound like a good idea but hee ho why not let’s trip up on a board why not

[@TheSuperSmashBros01]

Gotta hand it to Jak: a funny Mickey Mouse impersonation that was

[@topjimmy7325]

bloody legend

[@Petronious]

5:12 ouch

[@dennisgamingchildpaul3641]

Simpsons Skateboard oh boy guys we in trouble

[@mario199923]

Skateboarding around castles? This one if definitely canon to Kingdom Hearts

[@ToastBombHalo]

Lol I had this game but I'm now realizing that I only recognize the first level, I must have never made it past that stage 😅

[@LowTempDabr]

i liked for the stillborn joke

[@alanfoxwolf7233]

I did not know jet set radio as extreme sports game.

[@thebrownfamilyriders]

Awesome video!!!!!!! you're doing great!!!!!!! keep it up!!!!!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@HeyRyanLetsPlay]

Never played the game, but with the GBA port, I can see an idea that they may have had in not including Max With Max not included, all of the characters are non skaters and so you could see it as a game in which they learn to skate. Hence why the tricks are locked behind the button collecting. Just a thought.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Feels like a stretch, I think you’re giving them too much credit 😅

[@Spider_Mike023]

Don’t think u went over the sound or music in the gba port unless I missed it. But also if it’s that’s bad what’s the point mentioning it too hahaha. Can’t wait for morrows man!

[@arcticphoenix2789]

I am planning on doing a review of Backyard Skateboarding. What are your tips Square Eyed Jak

[@indicatexxxx2656]

I know that your channel is mostly skate boarding games but please if you like combo mashing and correct movement and good mechanics I'd recommend the Mortal kombat franchise recently I revisited it and now that I played it for actual fun and story mode it's super strategic and quick to pick up but hard to master and it's super rewarding if you know how to pull off combos or fatalities

[@LEYLANDGAMER]

I’m glad that Jak is still onboard with the “not reviewing Ratchet and Clank” theme of this channel. At least the Simpsons is settling in somewhere with this roster. If you really think Simpsons Skateboarding is bad, I have heard that Simpsons wrestling is even worse!

[@H_bomb_]

Well dressed mate!

[@vitcawolfbane]

I hope you get to Go! Go! Hypergrind. I love that game

[@jackcottle8144]

Hey Jak, What are you gonna do when you hit the 50k subs. I’ve been a fan since 2016. Have a great fucking day.

[@SquareEyedJak]

Well I was kinda hoping I've have hit it in time for the Spyro ELR so I dunno what I'm gonna do now... but I have a few ideas swimming around! 😉

[@therealtijuanaman]

Does anyone know how many of these came out in the states if at all?

[@MarioLuigiBros-64-DS]

I got one word to say… NOLLIE!!!

[@AriGrande]

NAWLEEE!

[@brodyscooters3]

*NOLLIE!*

[@n1njahawk]

TAILSLIDE

[@ADragonNerd]

You should then try out Disney Skate Adventure. If I remember right, they even got one of the Tony Hawk Pro Skater gsne devs actually made the game, which is why it plays a lot better

[@Gonzales9514]

Good to see we’re wading through the garbage to hopefully end up at how Disney came to the shocking realisation that they should just get Activision to make a Tony Hawk clone for them using the same engine to cap off Hawktober

[@Cyberbrickmaster1986]

Last year we've had the Activision O2 series. This year we have mainly Disney extreme sports games. But then again, who knows what path this Hawktober will lead us if the next review is anything to go by?
