The Subway Surfers have items strewn about the subways to aid them: All of the Surfers are skilled skateboarders/surfers, so they are able to maintain a steady balance and stamina. They are skilled enough to run on top of a moving train going the opposite direction without issue, and they can easily change directions in midair. They can easily run for extended periods of time without tiring, and they are able to jump, roll, and dodge anything from a stationary barrier to a moving train. While it is obvious that they do not want harm to come to anyone, their dangerous and destructive behavior could result in a potentially deadly scenario.Įach Subway Surfer is extremely fast and athletic. They willingly run into a dangerous and busy train yard, endangering the lives of themselves, the guard, and his dog. They also seem to be extremely friendly and kind to each other and to the player (who they will occasionally wave or gesture to).Īll of the Surfers are also extremely spontaneous, impulsive and reckless.


However, they are also mischievous, vituperative, and disrespectful to authority and property, caring little for the consequences of their crimes and fleeing at the first sign of being caught. If the guard and the dog have caught up when this happens, they will also get hit.Īll of the Subway Surfers have similar personalities: they are all lighthearted, rebellious, and fun-loving teens with cheerful attitudes and outlooks. If the character fails to avoid a moving train, the train will hit them, causing them to fly into the screen, an action that would presumably kill a normal person. If the character runs into something, the guard will catch up and take the squirming and fighting Surfer away. At this point, it is up to the player to guide their character through the trains, signs, barriers, and tunnels of the endless train yard and subway.Įventually, the player will make a mistake, causing the run to end. The Surfer will flee into the train yard, with the guard and dog giving chase. Upon starting the game, the Surfer will be caught in the act by a patrolling guard and his pet dog. In the game, the player chooses a character, and that character proceeds to vandalize a train car by spray painting the Subway Surfers' logo onto it.
