Razor Freestyle Scooter, known as Freestyle Scooter in Europe, is a Sega Dreamcast scooter game developed by Titanium Studios. Published in the United States by Crave Entertainment in August 2001, it was later published in Europe by Ubisoft the following April. Sponsored by scooter manufacturer Razor USA for its initial release, the game is a port of the titular 2000 Shaba Games game Razor Freestyle Scooter, and features gameplay significantly inspired by the 1999 Neversoft skateboarding game Tony Hawk's Pro Skater.

Gameplay

In Razor Freestyle Scooter, your task (as either two children, Chad or Ami, unlocking others as you go) is to rescue your friends captured by a giant robot ("Mad Robot Norton") by completing a series of challenges on a scooter. Most of the game involves obtaining a certain number of points within a strict time limit, though every few stages you are tasked with collecting a specified amount of Razor wheels instead.

The game plays similarly to the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater series, but is more simplistic in design and is aimed at a younger audience. Its developers, Shaba Games, would go on to have a role in porting Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 and a couple of its sequels to other platforms.
