The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

About

The game uses a motion-sensing peripheral called the "Motion Pack", which is inserted into the Game Boy Advance game slot as the method of control. As well as skateboarding, the game also offers snowboarding. Hue Pixel Painter is a little known puzzle/platforming hybrid where the game was controlled by moton controls. Hue Pixel Painter was the other game in a two-pack of games commonly refered to as just Tony Hawk's Motion for the Nintendo DS.
