| 1 | * GenrePopularizer: ''Cool Boarders'' was the first major snowboarding video game in the market, and inspired a wave of [[FollowTheLeader similar games]], including ''VideoGame/TenEightySnowboarding'', ''Amped'', ''VideoGame/{{SSX}}'' and ''Shaun White's Snowboarding''. |
| 2 | * NoExportForYou: ''Cool Boarders: Code Alien'', which was only released in Japan (even though it was intended for a North American release). |
| 3 | ** In reverse, ''Cool Boarders 2001'' was not released in Japan. |
| 4 | * WhatCouldHaveBeen: |
| 5 | ** ''Code Alien'' was intended to be UEP Systems' first installment back with the series since ''2'', and they heavily promoted it to North American audiences in 2001. However, a series of underwhelming game releases (which ended with the company going under) meant that ''Code Alien'' was never released [[NoExportForYou outside of Japan]]. |
| 6 | ** UEP Systems' other series installment released before their dissolution, ''Cool Boarders Burrrn'', was a DivorcedInstallment / SpiritualSuccessor by the time it hit U.S. shores as ''Rippin' Riders'' for the Platform/SegaDreamcast. Not only was the game released soon after ''3'', but it has cameos from several characters that were in ''2'', along with various [[ContinuityNod nods]] to the franchise (including the training course from ''2''). It is unknown how well the game would have fared if it had been promoted as an actual sequel to ''2''. |
| 7 | ** [[http://www.unseen64.net/2012/04/26/cool-boarder-sold-out-ps2-cancelled/ Cool Boarders: Sold Out]], a cancelled [[Platform/PlayStation2 PS2]] title from 2002 that was intended to be developed by Idol Games after the release of ''2001''. It had a more cartoony style than the previous installments...and that's all we know about the project. |
