Gameplay
Players attempt to clear each track by scoring a minimum number of points within a set time limit. The tracks consist of obstacles to perform tricks on, including rails, benches and half-pipes. By clearing a stage the player earns experience points that can be used to make the skater faster, more agile, able to jump higher, etc.

Reception
The game received mixed reviews according to the review aggregation website GameRankings. Next Generation said that the game was "mildly diverting, but it just isn't polished enough to be a standout title. Skateboarding fans will just have to keep playing 720° until a triple-A skating title hits the market." In Japan, Famitsu gave it a score of 26 out of 40.

Sequel
A sequel called Street Sk8er 2 was released in 2000.
