Feature 1: "Enjoy and improve your skills without even realizing it" - Visualization of mechanisms and explanations [NEW]
affordance theory (*), the 11 missions are explained and visualized to help children improve their skills while having fun. The official Tomamu website has a special page for Adventure Mountain, which uses affordance theory to explain how to improve each mission. By understanding the mechanisms in advance, adults can watch their children's growth with peace of mind. For example, in the "Forest Maze," by challenging the maze-like course and undulating terrain, children can unconsciously hone their overall physical movements, ski control, speed, and sense of balance required for that environment.
(*) Affordance theory is a way of thinking about what actions objects and environments encourage and enable people to take. In skiing, affordances include course conditions, slope, speed, items, shape, snow quality, equipment, and skiing companions. The key to improving your skiing is to judge these conditions and situations, which change from time to time, and ski in a way that is appropriate to the environment
Feature 2: The final mission, the "Special Stage," requires comprehensive skiing skills. [NEW]
The "Special Stage" has been revamped, combining elements from all Adventure Mountain items. The Special Stage is a new challenge for Chokkari Daimajin, and it's a test of skill to see if you can complete the final mission by utilizing the skiing techniques you've developed in each mission
The course includes the "Seesaw Bridge," which requires precise speed control and a sense of balance; the "Bell Bell," where you slide down while ringing a bell attached to a tube ring; the "Chokkari Wave Z," where you accelerate your skis by using vertical motion; and the "Challenge Jump," where you muster up the courage to jump over the obstacles. The special stages require not only skiing skills, but also a sense of adventure and a spirit of challenge. The final item tests a child's overall strength to defeat the Chokkari Daimajin.
