Disney Skateboarding Views
The GameCube version received very negative reviews; GameSpot gave it 2.2 out of 10.0 and said it was worse than Disney Sports Basketball. They went on to say: Disney Sports Skateboarding serves no purpose in this world, save to exemplify and showcase everything that can feasibly go wrong with a skateboarding game. [2] GameSpot gave the Game Boy Advance version a 3.2 out of 10.0 and even said: Even if you take into account that Disney Sports Skateboarding is intended for a younger audience, that excuse doesn't explain away all of the game's problems and shortcomings. [1] But there were a couple of average reviews for the Game Boy Advance.[5][7]
Disney Sports Skateboarding is what it sounds like: a game featuring all your favorite Disney characters--including Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck, and Goofy--grinding it out on skateboards. Obviously the game is meant to cater to a younger audience, and as such, it tries to simplify the gameplay of many popular skateboarding titles. Instead, it somehow manages to do the exact opposite, making the game's control scheme and goal system needlessly complicated, and ultimately making the game nothing more than an unplayable mess.

Find the magic doorways and solve puzzles as you perform your cool skate moves on any of the surfaces in each world, such as grinding on dominoes in Andy's Room, spinning your board as you jump off trees in Tarzan's ™ Jungle Treehouse, and ollieing over bones in the Elephant Graveyard.
