Barbie: Super Sports is a sports video game for PlayStation and Microsoft Windows developed by Runecraft and published by Mattel Media. Players can choose to play as either Barbie, Teresa, Christie or Kira. Two sports are available: snowboarding and roller skating.

Gameplay

[edit]

Barbie: Super Sports offers two main sports: snowboarding and roller skating (referred to as roller-blading in the PC version). Players begin by selecting a character—Barbie, Teresa, Christie, or Kira—and then choose outfits and equipment for their selected sport. The game features a shop and a lobby, leading to four stages, each with unique criteria such as collecting points. Players can earn tickets in these stages to purchase new outfits and equipment. The game includes five levels of competitions, stunts, and special tricks in both sports, as well as secret areas and opportunities to earn points by meeting various challenges.[2][3]

Reception

[edit]

Barbie: Super Sports received a rating of 2.38 out of 5 from GameFAQs, with criticism focused on sound effects and praise for graphics, despite some animation issues. A detailed review from GameFAQs criticized the gameplay, sound quality, and game lifespan, while noting the graphics as a redeeming quality.[4]
