== Development and Reception ==

1080° Snowboarding’s development was first started in about April 1997 and announced at Nintendo SpaceWorld in November the same year; it garnered critical acclaim upon release and won an Interactive Achievement Award from the Academy of Interactive Arts and Sciences. 1080° sold an estimated [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_Nintendo_64_video_games 2 million and thirty thousand] copies worldwide. A follow-up game, 1080° Avalanche, was released for the Nintendo GameCube in November 2003.

== As a Speedrunning Game ==
1080° was and is a popular game for “runners” across its Time Attack and Trick Attack modes.

Time Attack requires the runner to complete individual courses as quickly as possible. The game saves 3 best times per course per cartridge and the player can save a single “ghost” of their run on the cart too.

The courses are:
* Crystal Lake
* Crystal Peak
* Golden Forest
* Mountain Village
* Dragon Cave
* Deadly Fall

Trick Attack requires the player to perform trick combinations using button inputs as the player navigates across any of the same six courses with the addition of Air Make (a big stadium jump) and Half Pipe. The player can also choose to save a ghost but this is a less preferred option in this mode. A third mode, Contest, has a mixture of flag navigation and tricking (scores) to achieve an aggregate score over 5 rounds; the mode itself while novel hasn’t proven popular in speedrunning.

In the first few years following release of 1080° Snowboarding, times and scores began appearing in Nintendo magazines, particularly in Europe, where the popularity of competition had flourished. Players would submit their best results, sometimes with photo evidence, to the magazines’ High Scores section. The most popular were [[N64 Magazine]] and [[64 Magazine]], though others also existed.

Around 1999, a website called REX’s High Scores, created by [[Rene Elsaesser]] began hosting a collection of Nintendo gaming high scores sections and it linked to Nintendo 64 High Scores, created and maintained by [[Iacopo Sorce]]. Many players would find Iacopo’s site by first coming from REX’s page. This web domain would become the central place for 1080° times and scores for 10 years (from 1999 to 2009) before it ceased operations.

== Impossible & Fake Times ==
While much good work was done between 1999 and 2009 to maintain the fastest times and highest scores on N64 High Scores, photographic proof was optional and only a fraction of players opted to provide proof (either voluntarily or upon request). Due to the extremely low burden of proof, some impossible times were submitted in that the decimal numbers would not fit in with the 3 or 4 centisecond intervals that the games’ chronometer counts at in every Time Attack run.

It can be extremely difficult to decipher the potentially legitimate from the illegitimate times going back almost 2 decades, so this wiki attempts to give transparency for some of the issues.

The following players have been found to have either impossible times submitted (I.e. either fake or accidentally mis-typed) or have admitted to making up times:
* [[Patrick Zalesky]] submitted several impossible times in 2000 including 1'02"90 on Crystal Lake and 1'27"52 on Crystal Peak. This is noteworthy as he didn’t provide evidence and claimed a World Record on Deadly Fall of 1'07"45
* [[Andrew Kent]] submitted several impossible times and was also frozen out from the GoldenEye Elite for failing to respond to requests for video evidence of his times
* [[Paul Plumridge]] submitted some impossible times and also admitted to lying about his times many years later. Paul was another one banned from GoldenEye’s elite for making up times in GoldenEye and TimeSplitters 2. This is noteworthy as Paul in 2002 claimed a world record on 1080°’s Crystal Lake
* Justin Nazaroff had an impossible time on Crystal Lake (1'02"64), a Time also claimed by Kent
