** Akari is Japanese and the only [[TokenGirl female]] [[TheChick boarder.]] A NaiveNewcomer, but a hard worker. Wears yellow.

** Akari is Japanese and still TheChick as the most [[GenkiGirl energetic,]] friendly and [[TeamMom supportive]] member of the group. Main color is pink. Has the best turning. Listens to pop, and starting to get into punk via Ricky.

* AlwaysNight: Usually, a stage's time will change depending on the difficulty level. But Dragon Cave remains set during nighttime in both Hard (which usually puts all stages during afternoon, except Golden Forest which is set during morning as it was already afternoon in Normal) and Expert difficulties.[[note]]It's absent altogether on Normal, as that mode ends with Mountain Village[[/note]] The only difference in the latter is that the background is a bit brighter due to the snowy mist, and transitions into a full snowstorm near the end.

* TimeTrial: One of the game modes.

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: The player cannot take damage in Stunt Attack mode.
* AwesomeMcCoolName: Ricky ''Winterborn''.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: You can unlock a ''penguin-shaped'' snowboard.
* FiveTokenBand: The five boarders, who are roughly a FiveManBand.

* JPop: A good portion of the background music is this.

* NintendoHard: The notoriously difficult trick system takes a very long time to master. The ultimate prize for many is pulling off the titular 1080. Let's not even get into the AI in the racing modes.
%% * RacingGhost

* FiveTokenBand: A little change up from before

* ShipTease: Akari is interested in Ricky now that he's grown up from the first game. Rumor mill says they're together.

* RacingGhost

* {{Pink Means Feminine}}: Akari wears pink this time round, and is rather {{gir|ly girl}}lier than the more {{tomboy}}ish Tara.

** Ricky is [[CanadaEh Canadian, eh?]]. The cocky TagalongKid and rough analog to TheSmartGuy, by being the smallest and weakest, but the most technically gifted trick master. His dad is also the founder of the team. Wears green.

* ChuckCunninghamSyndrome: Kensuke Kimachi, arguably the main character due to being a JackOfAllStats on the first title is absent. Especially odd as he was a playable character in many trailers leading up to the release, and a picture of him still appears in the background at the chalet. Ricky Winterborn takes over as the main character, Rob Haywood becomes TheLeader of the team, but no one has balanced stats. Dion is also missing. The only characters to return are the ones who guest starred in ''VideoGame/WaveRace.''
