Cool Boarders 3 is a 1998 snowboarding video game developed by Idol Minds and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation.

[3] Continuing with the previous games in the series, Cool Boarders 3 gives the player the chance to snowboard down mountain courses while completing tricks to amass points.

Some courses like Downhill, Boarder X, and Slalom, require the player to concentrate more on beating their CPU opponents' times to the finish line, while others, namely Slope Style, Half Pipe, and Big Air, force the player to pull off many big tricks in order to build up a large point score.

[9] In its review of Cool Boarders 3, GamePro magazine called the game the best installment of the series, noting an expanded set of stunts, a large number of characters and boards, high-quality graphics with detailed landscapes, and an energetic punk rock soundtrack.

According to the critic, despite the challenging controls, the game successfully combines elements of simulation and arcade.
