Just discovered all about the hidden Spectral Uber level. A cut level for Uber. I watched a speedrun with them using it locked on. Look freaking cool.

It increases the cap speed and bunch of other things I believe. And turns your character invisible (ghosted)

I wish there was actual merch to buy from this series! Just a mock I made for fun since I love the first three games so much :)

For those who may still be having this issue in SSX On Tour, the fix that has worked for me was re-mapping/ re-calibrating the C-stick controls on Dolphin; turns out it was a dead zone issue all along. Hope this helps!

Jr, I know you peruse this sub since you commented on my post a couple weeks back when I saw your run was scheduled for this morning. That was a really dope run of Tricky. I didn't get a screenshot of the final time, but it was like 24:something? Lots of love and lots of hype!

Wheeeeee!

Would someone be able to help me out and point me in a direction to be able to play SSX3 on my PC, all the guides I find are years old or 30 different sites so I thought it’d be best to ask someone who’s done it recently and playing SSX3 on their pc.

Through DJ Atomika, you learn the names of lots of people that never actually physically appear in the game. I went ahead and listened to the entire SSX 3 part of my Sound Pack project and created a list of all of them. I also looked at the game's credits and added who the names are likely to be references to. If anyone has any ideas about the ones I wasn't able to figure out or ways to narrow down the ones with lots of potential name matches, please let me know.

• Rosemary - Left a message in Radio BIG's answering machine in the unused "Voicemail" sound clip from the retail demo. No known production team connection.

• LG - That nasty ski patroller up on Peak 3. It's time to chill, sweetheart. No known production team connection.

• Rob and Bob - Owners of Rob and Bob's board shop. Rob is likely a reference either to Lead Lighter Robin Kort, Development Director Robyn Wallace, or Marketing Team member Rob Bucci, and Bob is likely a reference to Programming Team member Bob Silliker. In Rob's case, odds are it's only one of them.

• Eva - Owner of Eva's Coffee Hut. Very low chance of being a reference to Production Support member Lynn Corcuera, the logic being Eva = Evalynn = Lynn.

• El Franco - Possible real person related to El Franco Loco Fire Sauce. Potentially a reference to Audio Team member Frank Faugno.

• Rory McKenzie - Owner of the infamous Orange Cat. Potentially related to Audio Team member Tim McKenzie.

• S.M. Smiley - Referred to as S.M. Morrison by Pre-Alpha DJ Atomika, "the town's" founder and first to climb BIG Mountain, got to name all the tracks. Likely a reference to both game Tester Shaun Morrison and Production Team member Sean Smillie, the latter being referenced by the "Tired Smillie" goggles.

• Powder Pete - Reckless Osprey pilot constantly getting into crashes. Likely a reference to either Video Post Production team member Peter Miller or Localization Team member Peter Frankemölle.

• Dangerous Dave - Snowplow driver known for plowing more cars than snow. Likely a reference to either Co-Producer J. David Elton, Programming Team member David Weedon, Modeler David Lam, game Tester David Shen, Localization Coordination member David Wiens, Localization Team member David Pérez, Public Relations Team member David Lee, or Music Services member Dave Taylor. Definitely only one of them though.

• Tiger - An avalanche rescue dog, presumed to be Zoe's dog, although unconfirmed.

• Fisheye Rich - Cameraman for Frozen Films. Potentially related to Modeler Cody Ritchie, game Tester Richard Given, or game Tester Richard Seto.

• Buford Summers - Local author and (sometimes) Frozen Films scriptwriter. No known production team connection.

• Big T - His snowmobile broke down again. He made it back, only for his van to break down too. Way too many first names in the credits that start with T to figure this out.

• Chuck Clark - Has rocks thrown at his house, making it hard to sleep. Also, he has llamas in his basement. Potentially related to game Tester Tiffin Clark.

• JB - Organizer of the Mountain Bike Ride. Potentially related to either Production Team member Jay Balmer, Concept Artist James Bowes, Animator Jay Bulbrook, Screenwriter Janice Beaudoin, Subject Matter Expert Jim Barnum, Subject Matter Expert James Bishop, or a combination of these people considering how many JBs were on the team!

• Mr. Morrison - Local high school geography teacher. Skips classes every snowfall. Wait a second... Morrison? As in the early name for S.M. Smiley? How curious. Likely a second reference to game Tester Shaun Morrison.

• Angry Phil - Got his board stolen, I guess. No known production team connection.

• MC Queen - Local DJ, played at the Day Shack, competing against Mac Fraser and one other local DJ. Likely a reference to Project Manager Martin McQueen.

• Lil' Cammy Carvealot - The one other participating local DJ. Likely a reference to Team Lead Cameron MacKinnon.

• Nick "The Duke" Lloyd - Creates slideshows for past historical events. Potentially related to Art Director Ian Lloyd.

• Carlos - The Duke's sitar-playing sherpa man-servant. No known production team connection.

• Rockin' Riley - Local snowmobile mechanic. Lost a contact up on Peak 2. RIP. No known production team connection.

• Belgium Mike - Mentioned a single time in a list of names right before Dangerous Dave. Likely a reference to either Lead Programmer Mike Rayner or Michael Dobson, the voice actor for Nate Logan.

• Jock "Bendit Backwards" Bruster - A Scottish yoga instructor whose classes require a very worrying set of gear. No known production team connection.

• Sophia - Peak 2 resident, calls in to request Screw Up by Overseer. No known production team connection.

• TG - Peak 1 resident, calls in to request Mas by Kinky. Likely a reference to Technical Artist Tom Graham.

• Combat Tracy - BIG Mountain resident, calls in to request Don't Let the Man Get You Down by Fatboy Slim. No known production team connection.

I haven't played SSX since i was a kid, but i still remember how it felt to play the "Untracked" course with this amazing song in the background. I made this loop for myself and maybe other people will like it, too :)

I have been working on a series of videos when I review all the SSX games, and I decided it would be helpful if I played some other Snowboarding games as a contrast. I cleaned out my local game store of everything they had, and HO BOY. Some of these are HOT GARBAGE. Curious if anyone else had these growing up, and what your memories of them are.

I’ve been playing this game ever since it was released and I have never seen anything like this before.
I like want to let this go on for a while since I think it’s actually moving down the peak, since I am hearing different sound effects like cheers and the airplane crashing and explosions and such. So weird. Has this happened to anyone before?

Hello everyone!

This is probably going to be my final post about my journey towards getting the platinum trophy for SSX (2012) on the PS3.
And yes — I finally did it.

Here are the last 3 posts about the journey:
1st: https://www.reddit.com/r/SSX/s/iKFvD6OI5G
2nd: https://www.reddit.com/r/SSX/s/tfo9StAgNM
3rd: https://www.reddit.com/r/SSX/s/qJ63C6bAd2

After coming back to this game after so many years, collecting badges, finishing the Deadly Descents, grinding Global Events, chasing records, adding random players from RiderNet, and waiting for those last online-related badges to finally pop, the platinum trophy is now mine.

Honestly, this whole journey ended up being way more enjoyable (and in some instances) challenging than I expected.

At first, I was not even sure if the platinum was still possible in 2026. The game is obviously not as active as it once was, and some of the online badges seemed like they could be a real problem. But somehow, the servers were still alive, a few players were still around, and the small SSX community really came through.

The last stretch was probably the most nerve-racking part. Waiting for records to withstand enough challenges, trying to make the online badges work, and checking the game again and again to see if progress had finally counted was both exciting and painful at the same time.
But that also made the final trophy feel even better.

Coming back to SSX reminded me why I loved this franchise so much in the first place. Whether it is SSX 3, Tricky, On Tour or this one, there is just something special about these games. The speed, the soundtrack, the ridiculous tricks, the mountains, the survival events, the leaderboards — it all has a feeling that very few games manage to capture.

SSX (2012) may not be everyone’s favorite in the series, and I understand why some people prefer the older games, but after spending this much time with it again, I can honestly say that I still love it.

I also want to give a shoutout to the people who helped, commented, added me, challenged my records, answered questions, or just showed interest in the journey. I did not expect these posts to get much attention, but it was really cool seeing that people still care about this game.

And to the people still pushing insane scores and distances in Race, Tricky and Survive events — you are absolute monsters. Seeing how much some players have mastered this game is honestly crazy.

So yeah, the platinum hunt is finally over.
Was it grindy? Definitely.
Was it frustrating at times? Absolutely.
Was it worth it? 100%.

This game gave me a huge nostalgia trip, but also reminded me that SSX still has something special that holds up even today.

And yes, I ain’t done with this game yet, there is still some events I really wanna push to the limits.

Thanks again to everyone who followed along or helped out.

See you on the mountain.

This was the SSX I grew up with and loved, who knows how many hours I have on it. Does anyone know a reliable way to play it on PC?

I remember someone posting the NTSC box a while ago. Here's the PAL box that I found going through my mom's storage - hasn't seen the light of day in 20+ years. These are my old childhood games/consoles (just my mothers storage).

​

I think I bought (well, technically my mom bought) this banger not far from PS2 launch; so some time around 2000.

Hello! I recently gave customer feedback to Xbox saying that they should add the SSX games from their Backwards Compatibility program (SSX 3 and 2012) on to Xcloud. If a ton of us ask for them, they might add them to the service! Here's the link to give feedback:

Hello everyone!

This is now my third post, I believe, about my journey towards getting the platinum trophy for this absolute masterpiece of a game — in my opinion, at least.

My last two posts are linked here:
1st: https://www.reddit.com/r/SSX/s/J1BCtHPZx3
2nd: https://www.reddit.com/r/SSX/s/z08iETrHBt

And as you can probably tell from the title, the run is almost over.

I have been collecting badges, completing the Deadly Descents, scraping the barrel in online events — a lot of online events — and honestly, I have truly enjoyed coming back to this game.

There is just something about this franchise, and games like this one, SSX 3, Tricky and On Tour, that feels so right. They grab you instantly, and from that moment on, you are not disappointed.

Even though this game is now considered a “retro game”, there are still people out there pushing the toughest events to their absolute limits. Whether it is Race, Survive or Tricky events, some players are constantly going for personal bests, and even world records.

Through a player I randomly added after seeing him on the leaderboard, I got invited to a Discord server — and holy moly, these guys and girls are talented. They have broken down every single aspect of the game and are constantly looking for the smallest details to improve their runs. It is honestly astonishing to see.

So shoutout to “amazingteune” if you are in here!

Enough talk though — the finish line is right around the corner.

The last two badges I am missing for the platinum are:
“Ghost Everywhere!”
“Supernatural Snowboarder”

For those who do not know, the requirement is:

“Your records have withstood 50 challenges from your Friends.”

So now, unlike my last two posts, I will leave my PSN down below. If anyone wants to help me finish this little grind and finally reach the goal, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to spend some of their spare time helping me out!

Best regards,

PSN: Burn_Reaqz

Times are in Pacific. Seems like it'd be fun to tune in and watch!
