   Authors Note:

Welcome to my general FAQ for Dark Summit.  I used the Gamecube version
towrite this FAQ.  There may be a difference in the games for the 
differentconsoles however.  So if you are playing the Playstation 2 or 
X Box version and there are alterations, DO NOT E-Mail me and tell me 
my FAQ is wrong but tell me what is different.  And I will add a new 
section called "changes" and include them there.

So without further ado...

This FAQ is the second video-game related literary work that I have 
written, and only FAQ for this game for that matter. I made sure that 
it covers everything you need to get 100% with all of the characters 
and acquire everything that is obtainable.  

There are some things however that I have yet to know about this game.  
If you know any of the answers to the questions in section 9 below. 
E-mail me at wisdomofadragon@yahoo.com

	Tips And Tricks

* Hold forward and A, it makes you go faster.
* When jumping a gap, hold forward and A and then let go of both when 
  you are at the lip of the jump.
* Get to know the land so you know where everything is.
* Try not to do anything fancy while in challenges.
* NEVER give up when a challenge seems a little hard.
* Press Z to go back a little if you missed your turn or need to get 
  back for any reason.
  *NOTE* This does not work in all cases.
* While on a straight rail press Y repeatedly to get multiple combos.
* When someone is chasing you get the fastest snowboard; speed is your 
  key.
* Know the snowboards limit each challenge is different so you'll need 
  to know limits.

   The Story

Subject: Mt. Garrick


At approximately 2200h on Wednesday, December 29th our facilities 
observed an object entering - tracked until completion - Ski Resort Mt.
Garrick - helicopters dispatched to the area - observe - secure - need 
to act quickly - security - maybe cause for alarm - the snowboarding 
community have arrived - the subjects must be controlled in order to 
protect - Chief O' Leary must make certain that the snowboarding 
community does not grow rid the resort completely of these troublesome 
individuals.  We cannot risk our secret being discovered.

The Equipment

*NOTE* Only Naya can change her Snowboard and Outfit which I think 
sucks but all well.  The other players that you can play with have good 
enough snowboards.

The Snowboards:

^Basic Model^
This is the first board that you can play with.  It is OK to start with 
but as soon as you get a chance to upgrade, upgrade.  (Unless you want 
a challenge andcomplete all of the missions with this board like I 
did.)
Speed *
Air *
Cost: 0

^Slick 250^
This snowboard is your first upgrade.  You only need to get 250,000 
points,which you can rack up in a few minutes so it is justified when 
it is not much of an upgrade.
Speed **
Air **
Cost 250,000

^Dynamic 3000^
This snowboard is the one to use when you are going to be chasing or 
running from someone.  The Prototype MG has better air but when you are 
in the air they can catch up and you can land on them.
Speed ***
Air **
Cost 1,000,000

^Prototype MG^
If you want this snowboard you are going to have to earn it.  You will 
want to procure this because it has the best ratings.  If you know how 
to handle it you can waste your friends in multi-player.  If you cannot 
handle this speed and air, stick with the Dynamic 3000
Speed ****
Air ****
Cost 2,000.000

The Outfits

*NOTE* I could give you a description of each outfit but, it would not 
give a vivid image so I will just give you the cost of each one.

1.  $0
2.  $50,000
3.  $100,000
4.  $150,000
5.  $200,000
6.  $250,000
7.  $375,000
8.  $500,000
9.  $625,000
10. $750,000
11. $875,000
12. $1,000,000
13. $1,250,000

Special Trick Icon Locations

If you have gone down Mount Garrick a couple of times, then you have
undoubtedly seen yellow balls with a snowboarder on them scattered 
throughout.  Those are what I call special Trick Icons. In your 
sub-screen is a trick-list some are lighted up others are not.  To make 
them light up and become available you must collect them and that is 
where this section comes into play.

*Note* These tricks are ones you start of with:

Misty Flip
Back Flip 180 Tail Grab
Front Flip 720 Method

^First Cut^

=Inverted To 540-Each time you have a choice to go left or right stay 
 to the left and it is out in the open.

=High Kick-Each time you have a choice to go left or right stay to the 
 left and it is out in the open.

=Corkscrew 1080-After the first bomb piece, go forward.  It is in the 
 air you have to take the jump and get it before you jib on to the 
rail.

=Honey Flip-Out in the open.  Right before goo gap ten.

=Iron Monkey-During the "On The Runs" challenge right after you go to 
 the Nokia(c) uplink it is hidden behind the snow created by the snow 
 machine.  Just go to the left, through the snow, up the ramp, and it 
 is above the watchtower.

^Function Junction- Terrain Park path^

=Front Flip 720-Take the left path and follow it until you get to a 
 bunny hill.  Jump the hill and get it while in the air.  I recommend 
 using the best snowboard.

=B-Boy-Stay on the left side of the screen and it is on a red rail that 
 starts in the snow and ends in the snow.

^Pipeline^

=Cork Screw 720-In the halfpipe part before the hangar there are two 
 half pipes next to each other.  They look like this while you are 
 going down the mountain |1||2| you get the idea it is on the left side of 
 number one.       | || |
                   | || |
                   | || |

=Rocket Air-Sitting in the middle of the halfpipe numbered 2.	

=Hi-Fi- Stay on that halfpipe and it is a little ways down after the 
 Corkscrew 720 icon.	

^Summit^

=Heart Attack-Right after you come out of the forest there will be a 
 jump.  Almost like the Olympic Ski Jump.  It is way up high in the 
 air.  I recommend using the best snowboard to get it though.

=Flip Catch-during the "Escape The Ski Patrol" challenge follow the 
 path and it is out in the open.

=Their Introduction: I know you didn't come up here to get involved, 
 but listen up.  I don't have much time, if I'm discovered we're all 
 finished.  We need your help.  Hook up with me at each Challenge Com 
 Link.  I'll help you earn enough lift points to get your hands on a 
 forged pass to the next chair.  They don't hand these out to just 
 anybody.  You'll need 220,000 lift points to prove you can handle 
 yourself up higher.  Along the way get better gear by pulling off 
 tricks for equipment points, I have to go.  Now get up there and save 
 Mt. Garrick.  Good luck.

 to get good point combos.  And it is also good for getting used to the
 game.

 eyes open for more evidence of a military cover up.  And Be Careful. 
 I can't tell you anymore I've risked too much already.

=My Introduction: Welcome to a place that has something for every one.  
 On the left are many rails in a row that a jibbernot will go crazy 
 over.  On the right is an Olympic ski jump that any one that is meant

 to find out what he's hiding.  Make sure you don't underestimate his 
 influence around here.

=My Introduction: This area is just simply one that has some really 
 great trick spots.  I have seen poles that last for a long while and 
 jumps that'll send you to the sky.  So if you want to get a sick score

 while you saying hello to a helicopter.

 now it's up to you to find the fifth bomb.  Track down the Headquarters 
 and finish what you've started.  So close to victory.

 special Trick combos.  This are has many jumps that'll let you say hey
