Overview
The Uber Trick System was first introduced in SSX Tricky and is a meter that, when full, allows the user to perform extra special tricks.
Uber Meter In-Depth
The Uber Meter is filled when the user successfully performs and lands tricks. The bigger the trick (and the more unique the trick), the more the meter is filled. It is important to note that if the same trick is pulled more than once, you will not get as many points as you did the first time you performed the trick.
Once completely filled, the Uber Meter will allow the user to pull off 'Uber Tricks', which are performed by doing normal tricks (shoulder buttons) while using the Uber Button (the square button on the PS2). These tricks, which require more animation time, look fantastic and give the player a huge point bonus. The meter is also used as 'Boost', as the user can hit the Boost button (the square button on the PS2) to go faster down the course. The uber meter depletes as the player uses his or her boost and replinishes when the user performs successful tricks; so the object is to perform enough tricks to keep the meter filled. That way you can use it to continuously 'Boost' down the mountain. The Uber Meter in 'On Tour' works very similarly to the meter found in SSX 3, however, the boosting in this game creates a new speed blur effect, in which the mountain seems to blur or fly by the player at an incredible speed while they are boosting. Uber tricks on the other hand are not pulled by pressing the shoulder buttons, but flicking the right analog stick in certain gestures.
