A spiritual successor to Top Skater, it was created by the same team that developed Jet Set Radio.

Six of these challengers: Phillip "Grinner" Jones, Tez Tanaka, Miguel Diaz, Didi Summers, Scott Ripper, and JB Bullet, may have what it takes to be crowned boarding's best as Ollie King.

Ollie King is played on a cabinet with an attached skateboard-like setup made to mimic the experience of riding a skateboard.

In a solo arcade run, the player character will have to deal with skater gangs, with first place needed to be allowed to the next stage of Ollie King.

During the race contestants can perform tricks to gain points and are ranked with a letter system from lowest to highest: D, C, B, A, S, SS, and X.
