TANUKI: Pon’s Summer BMX Challenges: Full Count

TANUKI: Pon's Summer contains 101 BMX challenges in total, according to the developer's release date announcement on Steam from October 28, 2026, which tells players to "conquer every single one of the 100 and 1 BMX challenges." The official Steam page likewise describes chasing "the satisfaction of a perfect landing across over 100 BMX challenges."

The game launches on November 10, 2026, so a per-challenge walkthrough list is not possible yet; this page covers everything the developer has confirmed about the challenge count and how the BMX trick system works.

What the BMX challenges involve

The developer's descriptions on the official Steam page point to the kinds of objectives the 101 challenges are built around:

• Launch off ramps — the island's paths and rooftops are dotted with spots to catch air.
• Grind rails — catch a rail and hold the grind as part of your line.
• String tricks together — challenges reward linking tricks into a run rather than landing a single move.
• Chase perfect landings — the store copy frames the core loop as landing cleanly, with the game explicitly telling you that you're "allowed to look extremely pleased with yourself."

The release date announcement adds that the challenges come as "gnarly tracks, spicy trials and endless tricklines," and the August 26, 2026 trailer announcement describes the demo's BMX content as "gnarly tracks, new spicy challenges, and more trick lines than any knees can handle."

Where the challenges will be

The confirmed playground is the island itself. The demo description on Steam says "every street is a trickline in waiting," with ramps, rooftops and cannonball spots to find.

The December 24, 2025 developer update also confirms a second area — a town across the bay reached by a short train ride — with "windier paths, trickier rails to grind" and "rocky mountainside places" pitched specifically at BMX players. Expect challenges spread across both the starting island and that new town in the full release.

Getting a head start before launch

The demo (the entire opening chapter, available via Steam Next Fest and afterward) lets you ride and complete its BMX content early, and per the October 28, 2026 announcement, the first three days of demo progress carry over to the full game — you'll be prompted to transfer your save at launch. Any challenges, money and BMX practice from those three demo days count once you jump into the released game.

Next steps

• The BMX tricks page (coming soon on this wiki) will break down the individual trick inputs and combo system the challenges build on.
• The shrine restoration guide (coming soon) covers what the rewards from activities like BMX challenges feed into — rebuilding and decorating the shrine before the Great Tanuki Festival.
