The game includes eight worlds with skating-objectives and collectibles, more than 40 tricks, and five game modes, including two-player simultaneous play. In each zone, the player's main objective is to find and retrieve various checkpoints within a time limit. Players can choose from a variety of Disney characters, including: Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Max Goof and Pete, and can customize their outfits and skateboards.[4]

The game received "unfavorable" reviews on both platforms according to the review aggregation website Metacritic.[5][6] In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 29 out of 40 for the GameCube version,[8] and 22 out of 40 for the Game Boy Advance version.[7]
