This game is good for kids who need help with:

Working Memory

Recalling and retaining information in her mind while working.

This game forces players to remember certain tracks and tricks while racing. Each track has a distinct layout that offers different jumps, grind rails, and obstacles. Players will need remember where everything is in order to race through the fastest, or accumulate the most points by hitting the right jumps. Players will also need to remember the correct procedures to do tricks. Each trick requires a different movement from the joystick, so players must memorize these specific movements and be able to use them while playing.

Flexibility

Adapting and adjusting to changing conditions and expectations.

This game also helps kids practice their Flexibility skills as players compete in tackle courses and modes that demand different approaches and strategies. Players will need to compete in both races and trick contests, with races requiring players to finish fastest and trick contests requiring them to take it slow and perform tricks. Also, players are encouraged to use a variety of tricks instead of just one. If players keep repeating the same tricks in a row, their score will be penalized. Using a variety of moves bolsters your score, so the key to getting the most points in SSX is to switch between a variety of tricks.

Self -Control

Managing our actions, feelings, and behaviors. Improving impulse control.

This game also demands decent Self-Control skills, as players must resist the impulse to always prolong their tricks for max points. Holding out tricks results in more points, but not releasing them in time results in crashes that erase the score. If the player does not release the trick at the right moment, he will crash, and lose both time and points. Players must also control their urge to always use up their TRICKY meter. If the player uses too many speed boosts, he will not be able to build the meter to the maximum, and unleash his rider's Signature Tricks. These tricks earn the player the most points possible, and can only be accessed when the TRICKY meter is full.
