Snowboard Riot is a 2009 snowboard racing and combat game developed by Hudson Soft for the Wii. Players race downhill while collecting items that can be used to attack opponents or defend against incoming strikes, with the primary goal of reaching the finish line ahead of rivals. The game supports the Wii Balance Board accessory for motion-based control and accommodates up to four players. Online play is available through Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection, where participants can compete across various ranking modes. The blend of racing mechanics with item-based combat places it in the tradition of competitive arcade-style sports titles, though its setting and Balance Board compatibility give it a distinct identity among Wii sports offerings.
