Skate or Die - Bad 'N Rad

Skate or Die: Bad 'N Rad is a 2D side-scrolling action-platformer on the Game Boy where you control an unnamed skateboarder tasked with rescuing Miss Aerial from the villainous ElRad the Evil One. Gameplay involves directional movement, A button jumps, B button crouches, and attacking enemies by jumping on them with the underside of your skateboard; speed is crucial for managing wider jumps and avoiding obstacles across seven levels. Three levels are top-down with gradients influencing movement, while the rest are side-scrolling jump'n'run style. Collect aluminum cans and ice creams for points, with extra lives granted at score thresholds or via 1-UP items. Boss battles and cool music make it a standout challenging skateboarding platformer from the Skate or Die series.
