'''Magax''' is the [[Wocky]] arch-enemy of [[Hubrid Nox]]. He is described as older than the trees and the mountains - whether he, as a physical being, is so old, or whether this describes something more spiritual or metaphysical, is unexplored.

He was, for a very long time, one of the most prominent [[villain]]s of [[Neopia]]. For at least some of this time, he was a slave to Hubrid Nox, but he turned from the darkness and became something of an [[Wikipedia:Anti-hero|anti-hero]], seeking redemption from the [[Faeries]] for his crimes.

'''Shenkuu River Rush''' is an action sports game released on July 20, 2007. It is the first game on [[Neopets (website)|Neopets]] with a [[Wikipedia:Three-dimensional space|3D]] look and as such requires the [http://www.virtools.com/downloads/player/install.asp 3D Life Player] plugin. It is also the first and currently only game in which the [[clothes]] one's active [[Neopet]] wears influence the gameplay.

While [[Mystery Island]] would seem like the obvious choice for surfing in [[Neopia]], the professional surfers know that the waves at the waterfalls of Shenkuu are the biggest. Two of those professionals are [[Bowe]] and [[Cassile]], of whom the player needs to guide one to the end: a lake at the end of level six.

==How to play==
The game starts after the user has picked one of the two surfers. There's no difference in gameplay between them, except that they perform the various tricks slightly differently. The goal of the game is to reach the end of Shenkuu River and to score as many points as possible by doing stunts and picking up power-ups. The user has three lives, which are reduced by one when a crash landing is made or when an obstacle is hit. The only way to get them back is by reaching the next level, which restores one life.

As the user descends the waterfall, the game proceeds to become more difficult. The river makes more turns, and the number of obstacles and their size increases as well. Certain moves, the ''Double Jump'' and the ''Long Jump'' aren't available until just before the third level and just before the fifth level, before which they aren't needed. Besides steering the riverboard to safely pass through the levels, the user has to pick up power-ups. They look like small, glowing orbs and are each worth one point. There are three different ones: one increases speed, one allows a super jump and the third one grants a one time invulnerability.

While reaching the end within a certain time limit gives the user points, far more can be obtained by performing stunts. A stunt can be done during a jump or fall by holding down Shift. The longer the stunt takes to perform, the more points it is worth. During a jump or fall, there's usually enough time to perform multiple stunts. In that case, the points will be added to a total. Points for stunts are only awarded when they are followed by a safe landing. This means one has to land on the water (or sometimes the shore) when ''not'' performing a stunt. The queued stunts can be cleared by pressing the ''Spacebar''.

===Stunts===
There are six stunts available in Shenkuu River Rush. Making am error when entering a trick code resets the arrow input, and starts over from the first working input key. Each stunt has a basic value for performing it, but the values can become bigger by doing multiple stunts in one fall or jump.

==Trivia==
*Every stunt is named after a [[Petpet|Fanciful Fauna]] Petpet.
*The [[Gnorbu]] who maintains the [[Lunar Temple|Lunar Calendar]] can at various points be seen while moving down the rapids.
*The power-ups might very well be [[mote|motes]]: ''Speed Boost'' resembles the ''Electrical Mote'', ''Invulnerability'' resembles the ''Metal Mote'' and ''Super Jump'' resembles the ''Air Mote''.
*While the game is supposedly about [[Wikipedia:Surfing|surfing]], the gameplay far more resembles [[Wikipedia:Snowboarding|snowboarding]] as done in games like the [[Wikipedia:SSX (series)|SSX series]].
*During gameplay (shortly after the user recieves the ''Double Jump'' message), there's a fourth super jump where another river can be seen to the right. This is a secret path, and if the user jumps into this river, they will go through a series of much more difficult caves.
