Cool Boarders Pocket differs to other games in the Cool Boarders series.
It features an isometric (overhead) view instead of a third-person perspective.
The game features two play modes a free-ride mode where the player navigates an obstacle course with no restrictions until he/she reaches the goal, and a survival mode where the player snowboards through the obstacle course until they run out of health.
The game allows the player to choose one of two characters; a female or male snowboarder.
