Plot

The evil Krakken has appeared and causes a rampage at the local hoverdek park where some "dekkers"—Xako, Mia, and their friends—practice their skills. Using his powers, Krakken kidnaps the "dek kids" and magically transforms them into his minions all to make the place his new home. Now it is up to Xako and Mia to save their friends and stop Krakken's evil, sending him back to where he came from.

Game play

The player warps to different worlds from one particular hub area.

Levels
Each world is broken down into levels which consist of long courses that the player must travel through on their hoverdek (a floating skateboard). In order to properly complete each world player must collect a certain number of stars, obtained along the course or by stomping on the heads of enemies.

Shooting levels
Some levels feature a shooting gallery format. Here the player will be positioned in the center and fire a weapon within a time limit.
