Skis N’ Treads icon
Skis N’ Treads are an upgrade that made their debut in Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense. Skis N’ Treads are an upgrade that turns the player's vehicle's wheels into skis and environmentally adaptive tires that are designed to increase the player's speed in harsh weather conditions. As with the other transformations, vehicles with the Skis N' Treads active will automatically eject them once the vehicle has taken enough damage. They're a ski shaped object laying around randomly in the Alaskan, Utah, and original Colorado stages.
Trivia[]
- Astronaut Bob O.'s Moon Rover has six wheels, so only his front two tires turn into skis and the rest turn into environmentally adaptive wheels. Obake's vehicle only has one wheel, so the skis are placed on the front ends of her vehicle, and only the back tire becomes an environmentally adaptive wheel.
- In the Dreamcast version, pressing the gas button and the switch target button at the same time will cancel the hover upgrade, whereas in the Playstation and Nintendo 64 versions, both weapon switch buttons must be pressed at the same time instead.
- As with the other transformations, in the Dreamcast version specifically, the icon for them will blink to indicate to the player that they will have the Skis N' Treads ejected if their vehicle takes further damage, once their vehicle has taken enough damage. They will also be repaired upon touching another Skis N' Treads activator.
