My last project(FFIX) sent me into the most profilic contributors list, but that doesn't means I'll stop writing. There are still a lot of PS2 games I want to make guides for(such as Dave Mirra 2, Shaun Plamer Pro Snowboarder, Ephemeral Phantasia, Devil May cry...). But at least, I can say I'm profilic. Tony Hawk Pro skater, third part of the epic skating series, is probably one of the most satisfying games of the year. Not as good as GTA3, freedom-wise, but still, a solid game. Unlike previous materials, this game graphics are smooth, clean, and wonderful. Controls haven't changed a bit and that's good, because THP controls have always been superb. You'll still tackle through levels, while pulling off tricks and completing objectives. Considering that each skater has an slightly different adventure from the other ones, and that you have a lot to find, explore and snag in each level, I can consider THPS3 as one of the most long lasting games I've ever seen. I bought this game a long time ago, and I'm still enjoying it. Even if you're not a fan of skateboards, you should pick this wonderful game if you can. Its pick-up-and- play style will make it an all-ages-friendly game, so don't worry. You ain't wasting your money. ================================================================================ CONTROLS ================================================================================ 1. Quick control rundown ------------------------ D-pad = Used to move character. Left stick = Used to move character. Right stick = Used to move the camera. R2/L2 = Used to do a revert(is specially useful when landing on a ramp) START = Pause game Circle = Used to do grab tricks. Triangle = Used to grind rails(and other things too). Square = Used to do flip tricks(try to do these in the air). X = Used to accelerate and to do ollies. 2. In depth ----------- For the R2/L2 buttons, these are used to do reverts. Reverts are used to chain tricks to other tricks. For example, you do an eggplant on a ramp, and then you do an revert(press either button as the snowboard touches the floor). Then, you could do a manual, and reach a grind, and start grinding. Then, you stop grinding, do a manual, look for a jump, use it and do two flips, you land, and then manual again. See?. The revert serves as a connecting between all of these tricks. If you press either one of these buttons while snowboarding normally, you'll make character do a pointless revert. The letter buttons located on the right part of the control are used to do tricks, and only tricks. Using the square button, you'll do flips, which are tricks that involve flipping and doing twists. These are pretty long, so try do them when you have enough air. The grab tricks(use the circle button) are a lot easier to do, as you can pull them out anywhere easily. Also, if you do a grab trick, and keep the grab button pressed, you'll increase your score. Linking this with a 180º/360º/540º... motion on your stick can earn you a lot of points. Lastly, we have the grind button, triangle. Grinds are a vital part of this game, as they are normally worth a lot of points, and they serve as links between more advanced and point-full tricks. To do a grind, press triangle next to a rail. The character you are using will do a grind. If you just pressed triangle, he'll do a basic grind, but if you did a motion on the left stick and then pressed the button, you'll do a more advanced grind, which is worth more points. ================================================================================ GAME OVERVIEW ================================================================================ ----[Saving your game]---------------------------------------------------------- Each time you complete an objective on a level, you'll be asked if you want to save your game. But that's not the only way. You could also end the run, and you'll get the option to save your game(click on "SAVE GAME") even if you didn't complete an objective. In the skate shop, you can go to the options menu and save your game too. The requires memory slots are few, so you should have no problem to save your game. ----[Game modes]---------------------------------------------------------------- There are several game modes. The first one, is the career mode. IN career mode, you'll visit levels and you'll complete objectives. You'll also be able to get new decks and stat points. The more the objectives you have, the more the levels you can play on. The second one is free skate, where you simply enter a level, and skate freely, doing points and practicing tricks. We also have single session, where you can show yourself what you got. And lastly, there is a tutorial mode, for those who are new in this world. ---[Goal completion]------------------------------------------------------------ Each level has about 8 goals(not the exact number though). Each goal vary from other goals. In some levels, you'll have to help somebody out, or destroy something so another something will start working. Other goals include collecting the letters S, K, A, T & E, getting the secret tape, and accumulating certain amount of points(the amount increases as you advance through the game). Depending if you are using a vert or street skater, you may get a different goal which involves doing a trick across a gap. ---[Level unlocking]------------------------------------------------------------ Each level requires a certain amount of goals, or medals, in order to be unlocked. Some levels require more objectives/medals than others. Normally, if you complete all objectives in a level, you'll unlock the next one, and if in this level you complete all objectives, you'll unlock next one, and successively. Try to complete all objectives from all levels to unlock other levels fast and easy. ---[Stat Points]---------------------------------------------------------------- Each level has a certain amount of stat points. Their location vary depending on what skater you are using. Stat points represent once circle on your character's status bar. Each time you get an stat points, you'll be able to edit your stats. You'll be able to add points to each status bar, thus increasing each characters performance. But, as stated before: stat points represent one circle on your character's status bar. So, you can remove points from one status bar, and add it to another bar. Simple, eh?. ---[Decks]---------------------------------------------------------------------- Decks are items you get just for fun, as they do not affect your performance on the game. Decks are the lower part of your skateboard. There are images cooler than others, but all in all, they're just gotten to goof around. Like the stat points, each deck is located on a different place, regardless what character are you using. ---[Pedestrians]---------------------------------------------------------------- Each level has a healthy amount of peds. Some of them are cool, some bad, but all in all, they serve for one purpose, only: to get you bonus points. Each time you do a trick that reaches the thousand or so points, and if a ped is near, you'll get an spectator bonus, or ped props. These increase your points, and x## numeral. There are some peds who can just be rammed without having to worry, but some of them will punch you as you approach them. Either way, try to impress them with your tricks to get some bonus points. ---[Gaps]----------------------------------------------------------------------- Gaps are special tricks which only appear on your trick bar when you do something special. Gaps are not only spaces between ramps, half pipes, etc. For instance, in certain level, grinding from one rail to another is considered a gap(rail hop, to be exact). Gaps serve as point boosters, and some of them give away more points than others(there is a gap section in this FAQ which can help you out). Always to try to link gaps with your tricks. For instance, In suburbia, doing a one foot japan+"between the ramps" gap+revert+manual is 50.000 or so points(depending on how much time you holded the one foot japan, how many degrees you rotated it, and how much time you were on manual stance). ---[Grind tricks]--------------------------------------------------------------- Grinds are a vital part of this game, and(in my case) they're the most important parts when trying to get a lot of points. Grinding is very easy. Just get near a rail, and press triangle. You'll do the basic grind(FS 50-50 I believe). If you do a combo(like UP+T) you'll do another kind of grinding. All in all, grindings are simple. You can grind almost anywhere: a set of stairs, a rail, a wooden bridge, a log, a fence, etc, etc, etc. Doing boardslides and noselides while grinding helps, specially if you are wanting to get a huge score. ---[Grab trick]----------------------------------------------------------------- The grab tricks are performed by making a motion on your stick/d-pad and then pressing the circle button(keep in mind that you can only do grabs if you press a button on the d-pad, or move the stick. Otherwise, you won't do a thing. If you keep the circle button pressed, the total points you'll get from the trick will increase drastically. If you do a <<>> and hold the grab, you'll also increase your points. ---[Flip tricks]---------------------------------------------------------------- Flip tricks are the simplest kind of tricks. They are easy to perform(you can do a lot of them if you have enough air) can be done while grinding or while skating normally. To do a flip trick, move the stick or jiggle on the d-pad, and the character will do a flip trick. Flips aren't worth a lot of tricks, but because they can be easily combined with grinds, they are useful to get points. ---[Scoring points]------------------------------------------------------------- Each trick you perform has a certain value. Each time you do that trick, its value will be added to your point meter. Each time you repeat a trick, you'll get less points. Performing an Airwalk once will grant you 400 points, and twice, 350 points. To get a lot of points easily, link tricks with other tricks by using grinds, reverts and manuals. If you do a combo of more than one trick, the value of the combo will be multiplied with the number of tricks you pulled out. If you did a one foot japan+nose manual, you'll get <<>> x 2. You can pull out x50, x98(but is pretty hard)... you'll be always worrying about scoring, as all levels have a goal which involves scoring. --> Scoring tips ---------------- ---Do a lot of grinds!. And while grinding, jump, then grind, jump then grind(you could also jump and then do boardslides and noselides) to increment your x## value, therefore increasing the points you get as you end your tricks. ---Manual a lot too!. When you feel like going out of a grind, because there is not way to continue, or you're just tired, follow the last grind with a manual. As you manual, jump, manual, jump, manual, jump, manual... until you reach a grind, and then grind, and then repeat. Lotsa points at the end. ---Revert as you land after an air trick, or after you do an invert. When you do a one foot japan, and then land with a revert, you'll increase your x## meter, and you'll also get more points. Right after you revert, you could manual, and then reach a rail, and grind it up!. ---Do a lot of inverts!. Every tome you find a ramp, do an invert on it, and then start the whole revert+manual+manual+grind... Don't forget that inverts are also a lot of points. If you can keep your balance for about ten seconds while doing a gymnast plant, you could get about 10.000 points, x2(revert) about 30.000+manual+manual+manual+grind+grind+grind+manual+grind...(unlimited) about 100.000/800.000 points. ---When doing grab tricks, hold them up!. Do not neglect the fact that you can rack up more points than normal by holding up the circle button. If you pull out a one foot japan or one del mar indy, and you have enough air, and you holde them up, you could get as much as 5.000 points in one trick. Combine this with a gap or a revert, and then a manual, and those 5.000 could transform into 50.000 or 500.000. ---While grinding, do flips!. That way, you'll get a lot more points, and you'll boost out your x## meter. Flips can be done by doing an ollie while grinding(be sure you have enough speed) and then do a flip trick combination. Use them if you're serious about getting a lot of points in just one combo. ================================================================================ CHARACTERS ================================================================================ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Steve Caballero --------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------- Statistics ---------- Air -

Do a 50-50 on it. - Um Jam 5 valves * On the right side of the slope you start on. * On the left side of the slope you start on. * On the right side of the rails at the north part of the level. * On the left side of the rails at the north part of the level. * On the are where the pool is - Grind the molten bucket * Grind the little rails of the bucket to complete this level. - Soak the forearm * Grind the rail behind the forearm that is in the pool area. - Collect SKATE * See walkthrough below ******************************************************************************** Area analysis ******************************************************************************** This level is pretty short, but has a lot of spots to do tricks on. I really like the fact that there are a lot of grinds and rails. You can put out a lot of grind tricks and flip tricks at the same time on them. Grind around the yellow grinds near the molten bucket, then jump, and start grinding on the grind below the yellow grinds. The half pipe in the first quarter of the level can help you to pull out high-points tricks. Do an invert on the pipe's lip, and then revert as you land. Do a manual, and then start grinding on the half pipe's lip. As you grind, jump(hold and release X) move the left stick 180º and then start grinding again. This combo is worth a lot of points. Right in the middle of the level(where the K is when playing as Kareem for example) is a green platform, which raises as the molten bucket pours lava in the lava pool. When it raises, you'll see two grinds, and a hole. If you grind from one rail to the other(by jumping the hole) you can score medium points. The catwalks high in this level are very hard to navigate, and you need to skate through them in order to get the secret tape. Lastly, do a lot of grab tricks on the ramps(a 540 One Foot Japan is easily pulled out by jumping from the catwalks). ******************************************************************************** Objective checklist ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** Get 10.000/30.000/60.000 Points ******************************************************************************** I found out while playing as Emma that getting 200.000 points in this level ain't that hard. First off, put in your special slots some grind specials like the darkslide and handstand 50-50. Also, put some of your best lips like the gymnast plant with combos like Up + T so you can pull out them quickly. Now, listen up. Go down the slope at the start of the level, and do a couple of tricks there to burst out your special bar. Then, manual your way out of the half pipe, and search for a rail. Go seizure!. Jiggle the d-pad and press the triangle button while olling. You'll start to do noselides and bluntsides, and with any luck, and special or two may come out. When a rail ends, manual your way to another one. I've gotten a max of 180.000 points from this kind of combos(at the ends of the run I had ~500.000 points). ******************************************************************************** Cannonball over the half pipe(vert skaters) ******************************************************************************** Using a vert skater, go down the slope at the start of the level, and skate to the half pipe. As you are near the edge, release the X button to jump, and do a cannonball. If you land other side, you'll complete this objective. ******************************************************************************** 50-50 Tc's rail(street skaters) ******************************************************************************** As you advance towards the north part of the level, you'll sport two set of two- grinds to the left(four grinds in total). Select either one of them, and do a 50-50 grind until the name "tc rail" appears in blue. Then, jump out from the grind. You'll have this objective completed then. ******************************************************************************** Get the secret tape ******************************************************************************** From the start, look at the ramps to the left and to the right of the slope leading to the half pipe. Use either one of them to launch yourself and do your best to land on the catwalk. Skate to the right, and head towards the glass square. In there, you'll see a ramp. Use it to jump to the grindable(and thin) path where the tape is on. Grind towards it. ******************************************************************************** Soak the Foreman ******************************************************************************** From the start of the level, go down the slope, and head to the right. Take the path to the right of the half pipe, and head forwards. You'll see a slope. Go up it, and head to the left. You'll see the foreman, and a crane behind him. Grind along the grind where the crane is on to complete this objective. ******************************************************************************** Um-Jam 5 valves ******************************************************************************** There are five valves on this level, and all they have a little rail on them. In order to um-jam them, you must grind the little white rail. 1 Valve - Go down the slope at the start of the level, and turn right. There is a valve there. 2 Valve - Go down the slope at the start of the level, and turn left. There is a valve there. 3 Valve - Head forwards from the second valve, and go up the slope into the pool area. There is a valve here. 4 Valve - This one is across the 3 valve. 5 Valve - From the fourth valve, head forwards and go around the semi circle shaped path.

The area with trees and ramps is good to get tricks and points if you're a pro with grab and flip tricks. Grind can also be used here, along with inverts. But the best trick point is the area directly north of the start. Also, there is a pipe park to the right of where you entrance(you'll have to ollie above a fence. There a lot of rails where you can grind, and the pools here are also useful to do grabs and inverts(which can be easily combined with grinds and manuals). If you turn around after you start, you'll reach the tree area of the level. To the west is a circular tree-room where you can pull out a lot of tricks like inverts and grab/flip tricks. To the north is the ramp area(passing the river). To the far, far north, you'll come to a half pipe, which can be raised by grinding the rail with a machine on it(the left rail, from south to north). I really don't like skating around this place, unless when I need to get the secret tape. ******************************************************************************** Objective Checklist ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** Get 35.000/70.000/120.000 ******************************************************************************** To get high scores in this level, put the same specials listed above, and grind your way towards the half pipe north from where you start. Do an invert trick, and as you land, revert, and then manual. Then, grind the rail here, and grind your way down by doing darkslides and handstands. At the bottom, do an invert trick on the half pipe, then a revert, then a manual, and then grind your way to the top. There, repeat. The other day, I linked up all tricks about three times, and at the end, I got about 350.000 points from that single combo. ******************************************************************************** Get Chuck Unstuck ******************************************************************************** Forn where you start, ollie over the rail to the left. You'll see a man with his tongue stick on a bar. Skate "through" him, and you'll complete this objective. ******************************************************************************** Bury that Bully! ******************************************************************************** This is another simple objective. From where you start, go down the [ramp] and head forwards a bit. Then, turn around. Skate towards the [ramp] and then jump towards the snow-filled tree. You'll bury the bully. ******************************************************************************** Melon grab over the blade(vert skaters) ******************************************************************************** From where you start, go down the [ramp] head forwards, and then turn around. You'll see the [ramp] as well as two [blades] to the left and to the right of this [ramp]. Skate to either the left or right blade, take air, melon grab over the [ramp] and land on the other blade: ******************************************************************************** Nosegrind around the horn(street skaters) ******************************************************************************** From the start, head to [your] left, and skate through the short path to the right of the right blade, Drive forwards and throw yourself onto the lake(yes, I'm being serious). You'll respawn in the ramp above. Drive forwards to the ramp's edge, and nosegrind the "wire" to the right. Wait until the word "around the horn appears, and then jump. ******************************************************************************** Get the secret tape ******************************************************************************** This is a tricky one. From where you start, turn around and head north. Skate through the logs above the lake, and head forwards. You'll see a ramp, and a halfpipe. In a rail near these is a box. Grind the rail with this box, and the half pipe will raise. Use the ramp to throw yourself into the half pipe above. Then, throw yourself into the half pipe above(yes, another one). Now, grind on the left rail of the half pipe you are currently on and throw yourself into the half log. Then, grind along the mine cart rail, and get the secret tape. ******************************************************************************** Impress the skaters ******************************************************************************** 1 Skater - From where you start, head a bit north, and you'll see a skater from afar. Grind the rail her(do a couple of boardslides and handstands) to impress him. 2 Skater - Jump the fence to the right from where you start, and look for a ramp to east. Do an invert trick on it to impress the skater on it. 3 Skater - Head into the pool area, the same one from above, and advance to the north, until you see two twin rails. There is a skater on of them. Do an invert trick on in front of him. 4 Skater - In the same area above, head into the north part of it, and look to the far left. There is a skater there. Do an invert trick in front of him to impress him. 5 Skater - From where the last skater is, head forwards and look for the skater here. Ignore him from now, and drop yourself from where he is. Then, turn around. You'll see he is above a half pipe. Do an invert trick in front of him to complete this objective. ******************************************************************************** Collect Skate ******************************************************************************** - Floating on the rail left from where you start - Use a snow ramp next to the lake to launch yourself into a house rooftop. - Throw yourself into the lake, and as you respawn, grind the log in front if you. - Grind the log which comes after the one above - From the last letter, head forwards and use the ramp to take air and get this. * Second Set ************ - This one is floating on the fence right from where you start - On the pool area, skate along the left side to get this letter - This one is on the opposite side of the letter above - Around where the second letter is - Floating on totems hand which is to the east part of the pool area. * Third set ************ - This one is floating above two cars which are in the middle of two ramps. - This one is floating at the half pipe north from where you start - Turn right from the half pipe mentioned above, and use the left rail to go down. You'll get this letter as you descend - At the bottom, take air from the half pipe to get this letter - This one is floating above a banner. Use the half pipe mentioned above to grind your way towards this letter. `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ RIO RUCKUS `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ ******************************************************************************** Area analysis ******************************************************************************** No area analysis required(unless somebody asks me). ================================================================================ This level is an skating competition. You have three runs, and each one is one minute long. You have to do tricks to get points. The higher your points, the higher your "grades". Bailing(falling, crashing, losing balance in a grind/invert) hurts your grade. Lastly, only the higher scores you get will be accumulated. Example, you get an 80.0, an 70.00, an 90.00, an 60.00 and an 50.000. Three scores, which are 80.00, 70.00 and 90.000(highest score) will be accumulated. -->Rule rundown --------------- - One minute long(each run; three minute long in total) - Higher points = higher grades - Bailing hurts score - Only the highest grades will be accumulated. ******************************************************************************** Strategy ******************************************************************************** From where you start, you'll see two green rails, which are located on the left and right. Grind the one to the left, and as you are about to reach its ledge, jump, and do an airwalk. As you land, head forwards onto the bus stomp, and start grinding. Jump onto the quarter-circle rail(lower part) and then grind into the higher part). Head forwards(grind the platform) onto the next quarter circle. Grind the lower part, and then the higher part. Then, jump into the higher part of the spectator box. Do a couple of grinds, and jump onto the rail below, and grind onto the next quarter-circle rail. Do the same, and jump onto the straight wall(which serves as a grind). Just keep grinding, and at the end, you should have 90.000 points(specially if you used special grinds such as handstand and darkslides and you link tricks with manuals). `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ SUBURBIA `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ ******************************************************************************** Objective checklist(summarized) ******************************************************************************** - Get 55.000 points - get 110.000 points - Get 200.000 points * This is very hard. Go to the half pipe area, and do an invert, then a revert, * Manual your way towards a grind, and do a handstand+darkslide on it. * Manual your way to another grind, and repeat. You should have enough points to clear the first objective. Then, repeat and repeat... - Get the secret tape * This one is inside the haunted house, floating on a rail. - Help the thin man out. * Get the axe that is on the construction site. * Take it to the thin man standing outside the haunted house. - Squash 5 pumpkins * This is one is located in the house north from where you start. * On the frontyard, next to a car, to be more exact. ----------------------------------------------------------------- * Behind the house above, look for a ramp. The pumpkins is on it. * Look for this one which is one the half pipe area. * On the west part of the haunted house frontyard. * Use the pool on the construction site to launch yourself to a rail where this pumpkin is. - Restore the power to the dish * Grind the cables connecting two houses. - Heelflip the trailer's hop * Heelflip across the blue trailer's hop located on the half pipe area. - Nosgrab between the ramps * There are two ramps in the halfpipe area, and a space between them. * Do a nosegrab across the space to complete this objective. - Collect skate * See walkthrough. ******************************************************************************** Area analysis ******************************************************************************** This is a level I don't like a lot. There aren't a lot of areas where you can pull out tricks, and the level is pretty small. The trailer area is the best area to get points. Do a couple of grind between trailer and trailer, and then do grabs by using the ramps, and also inverts+reverse+manual+grind+grind+grind. These kind of combo is worth a lot of points. There is an empty pool north from where you start(in the backyard of a house) and another to the east from where you start. The creepy house can also be used to get points, as there are a lot of ramps where you can pull out tricks and do inverts, reverts and manuals. To enter this place you must complete a certain objective though. By using the cables located in the roof next to the trailers you can reach the rooftop of another house(these cables are also useful to pull out tricks). The construction area has a lot of rails where you can grind and go flips and grabs. ******************************************************************************** Objective checklist ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** 55.000/110.000/200.000 ******************************************************************************** In this level, getting this score [could] be a bit hard. From the start, do an airwalk to do a bit of warm up. Then, head into the halfpipe(trailer) area, do an invert, then do a revert, a manual, then start grinding. When you think you are about to fall, stop grinding, and do a manual [again]. Look for a rail, grind, and then do a [manual again]. This may take a lot of practice, but if you can keep the grind+manual thingie, you should be able to get about 500.000 points. ******************************************************************************** Help the thin man out ******************************************************************************** From where you start, head to the right. You'll see the construction site. There are workers here. Go to where the workers are, and head to the right. You'll see to rails. One of them has an axe. Grind the one with the axe to get it. Then, skate towards the creepy house, and get near the thin man. You'll hand over the axe, and this objective will be completed. ******************************************************************************** Get the secret tape ******************************************************************************** After you help the thin man out, go through the door he opens for you, and head forwards. Use the ramp here to jump to the other side(you'll do the "I have a bad feeling about this" gap). In here, drive forwards and take the first right you can. You'll see a ramp which takes you to a window. Use this ramp, crash into the window, and head forwards into the next window. Crash it, and get the secret tape(Spooky drop). ******************************************************************************** Nosegrab between the ramps(vert skaters) ******************************************************************************** From the start of the level, head to the left into the trailer area. In here, look for a red trailer with a ramp on it. There is another ramp next to this one. And there is an space between both ramps. Use either one of the ramps, do a nosegrab in the space between the ramps and land on the other ramp. You know what I mean. ******************************************************************************** Heelflip the trailer's hop(street skaters) ******************************************************************************** From where you start, go to the left into the trailer area. In here, head north, and look for a blue trailer. What you must do is to heelflip across it. Take air by using the ramp on the back of the trailer, do a heelflip, and pray so you'll land on the other side. If you do, you'll complete this objective. ******************************************************************************** Squash 5 pumpkins ******************************************************************************** Spread throughout this level are 5 pumpkins which you must squash. From the start, head north to a house's font yard. There is a pumpkin on a rail. Grind the rail to squash this one. Then, go through this house's alley into the backyard(the one with the pool) and skate towards the ramps here. There is a pumpkin on one of them. Squash it, and go out this house. In the main street, head forwards to the trailer area. Look for a pimpkin on one of the ramps, and squash it. Then, enter the creepy house front yard, and head to the left. You'll see a ramp. There is a pumpkin there. Squash it then. Now, go out the creepy house, and skate to the construction site. In here, you'll see a pool. Use it to take air and land on the rail where the last pumpkin is. ******************************************************************************** Restore the power to the dish ******************************************************************************** From where you start, go down the slope, and head forwards into a house backyard. In here, you'll see two ramps leading to this house's roof. Use them to get there. If you took the one to the left, turn around. You'll see a wire. Grind it all the way to another's house roof. If you took the right ramp, head a bit to the left, and look for the wire next to a ramp. Grind it to another's house roof. In here, look for a higher wire, and grind it, all the way back to the first house roof. You'll have this objective completed then. ******************************************************************************** Collect Skate ******************************************************************************** * First set ************ - This one is floating above the fence north from where you start - Enter the backyard of the house north from where you start, and use the slopes next to where you got the last letter to get up to the house's roof. This letter is floating above a ramp - On the picnic area on the trailer area - This one is on a rail outside the haunted house - This one is floating around the construction site, right from where you start. * Second Set ************ - This is one is floating above a car north from where you start - Advance a little forwards from where you start, and turn left. You'll see a couple of muddy ramps. Use them to get air and get this letter - This one is floating on the same rail where the last pumpkin is - On the house with the dish roof/backyard. - Floating on the trailer area, on the "washing area"(Like in Tom guide yes. I have no better way to describe it =( * Third set ************ - Floating in the same rail where the last pumpkin(use the pool in the construction site to launch yourself into this rail) - This is one is floating above a ramp next to the fire truck, which is near the construction site. - This is floating on the quarter pipe outside the haunted house - Floating between two ramps in the trailer area - On top of the red trailer, which is next to the house north from where you start. `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ THE AIRPORT `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ ******************************************************************************** Objective checklist(summarized) ******************************************************************************** - Get 75.000 points - Get 150.000 points - Get 300.000 points * These are very easy. * Grind your way towards the area after the escalator, doing special grinds and manuals on your way. * Once you reach the area here, look for a ramp and do an invert, then a manual. * Then, look for a rail, and start going grinds and manuals. You could also mix this up with invert tricks. - Get the secret tape * Right after you reach the area beyond the escalator, head to the right until you reach a ramp. Use a little ramp to launch yourself into the rail above, and grind your way towards the secret tape. - Stop the pickpockets * There is one to the right from where you start. * There is also one to the left. * In the area beyond the first escalator, enter the bathroom to the right. There are two pickpockets here. * Right in the are beyond the escalator, head to the right where the last pickpocket is. - Airwalk over an escalator * In the area beyond the escalator, turn to the right. * In there, Airwalk over an escalator. - Crooked grind around the baggage claim * In the same area where you completed the objective above is a baggage claim. * Do a crooked grind(diagonal(upper left)+T) all around it. - Visit 10 countries * On the are beyond the last escalator, turn to the right, and grind around the circular rail, destroying the flags. * Do the same as above on the left side. - Take the tickets to your skater buddy. * From where you start, grind the left rail. * Take the tickets to your skater buddy, which is beyond the last escalator. - Collect skate * See walkthrough. ******************************************************************************** Area analysis ******************************************************************************** This level is pretty straightforward. You'll always finish on the same part of this level(unless you waste your time goofing around) which is the area filled with people looking for their flights. On your way there, there a lot of grinds, so racking up points shouldn't be hard. Grind the rails outside bathrooms, and the ones inside them is worth a lot of points. Transferring from an escalator to another also gives out a lot of points. The level, as stated before, is very straightforward, so no further analysis is required. ******************************************************************************** Objective checklist ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** Get 75.000/150.000/300.000 ******************************************************************************** For this one, I suggest you to put a manual special on your special slots. I would also recommend a point-full special, as well as experience with manuals, grinds, and specials. Ok, listen up. From where you start, grind the rail to the left, and enter the bathroom. Grind the rails here, and exit the bathroom. You should have your special bar filled up. Do a manual special, and keep your balance until you reach the escalator going down, and grind it down. Halfway down, do an 180 escalator hop, and when you land, do the manual special again. Look for a rail as soon as you can, and then grind a nearby rail. Go through the security door, and manual your way to the escalator leading down. Do the same you did above, and when you land, do the manual, and skate towards either the ramp to the left or right, and do an invert. As you land, do a manual special for a while, then stop, do an invert, do a manual special, etc, etc. This took me a lot of time to master, but I got about 780.000 points(total). ******************************************************************************** Take the tickets to your skate buddy ******************************************************************************** From where you start, grind the rail to the left, and then head towards the area where the people are waiting for their flights. On your way there, you'll come across the security doors. Evade them by using the ramp right of them(or else you'll lose your tickets). In the are where people are waiting for their flights(the one which is after the last escalator) head to the left. Look for a man with a skate and a woman next to him. Skate near him to complete this objective. ******************************************************************************** Stop the pickpockets ******************************************************************************** There are five pickpockets her in the airport who are causing madness. As soon as you get near them, they'll steal the nearest person's wallet, and start running, showing off that they stole. There are two directly in front of the starting point, to the right, and to the left. To stop them, skate through them. After you've finished with both thefts, go down the escalator here, and enter the bathroom to the right, where you'll see two thefts. The people who'll run scared may send you flying, so watch out. Ram out both thefts. Once you reach the area beyond the last escalator, skate to the right. You'll see the last theft here. This one is the most intelligent, as if you miss the first try, he'll run down to the underground part of the airport. If he does so, follow him and skate through him to show him a lesson. Once the last one falls, is mission complete. ******************************************************************************** Get the secret tape ******************************************************************************** To get this one, go to the area beyond the last escalator(this is getting old you know) and head to the right, until you reach the spiral staircase. Don't go down it though, and look for a little ramp next to the spiral staircase. Use it to take air, and grind the highest rail. Keep grinding and you'll snag the secret tape. ******************************************************************************** Airwalk over the escalator(vert skaters) ******************************************************************************** Go down the first escaltor, and turn to the right. There, head forwards, and you'll see two escalators. There is a big ramp between both of them, and two small ramps to the right and left(right for the left escaltor, and right for the right escalator). Use either the big/small ramp to take air, do an airwalk, and land on the other side. ******************************************************************************** Crooked grind around the baggage claim(street skaters ******************************************************************************** In the same area where you complete the objective listed above, is a circular baggage claim. Do a crooked grind around it. From where you start, to where you start(there is a trajectory in here, physic-wise). Non stop. If you're bad with keeping your balance this may be a little tough. ******************************************************************************** Collect Skate ******************************************************************************** * First set ************ - This one is floating in the level first walkway. - Right after the first escalator, you'll see two half-pipe shaped terminals. Use them to get this letter. - This one is across the last escalator, floating above a ramp. - To the south side of the letter above, go down the spiral staircase. - To the north side of the letter above, go down the staircase and look for this letter. * Second set ************ - This one is floating around the first bathroom you come on. - After the first escalator, enter the bathroom to the right where this letter is. - This one is floating above the last escalator of the level. - In the are beyond the last escalator, turn left, and use the ramp here to get this letter - Use an staircase in the are beyond the escalator on go to the warehouse of the airport. Then, look for the E which is floating above a sack of crates. * Third set ************ - Use the phone booth near the first walkway to get this letter, floating on a light above - Use the phone booth near the second walkway you come across(after the first escalator) to launch yourself into the lights where this letter is - This one is floating on a rail on the last escalator of the level. - In the are after the last escalator, turn right, and look for a thin ramp with a C on it. Use this to get this letter. - Use the ramp next to the ramp listed above to get this. ******************************************************************************** Visit 10 countries ******************************************************************************** In the area beyond the last escalator(getting _old_) head either to the left or to the right, and grind around the red rails(the bottom ones). Grind through the flags in order to destroy them(each flag destroyed is worth a gap). There are five to the left, and five to the right. Once you destroy 10 flags, you'll complete this objective, and you'll be done with this level. `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ SKATER ISLAND `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ In this level, you'll have to do the same you did in Brazil: get points. To get in the first place, you'll have to score around 60.000 points, which shouldn't be that hard. From where you start, skate towards the fun box, do a melon(you'll do a gap) and head forwards the nearest grind. Do grinding with flips and 180 board slides/noselides. Grind your way towards the half pipes(bowls) and do a couple of inverts, mixed with the revert and manual specials. Try to link in the grinds you do(from a bowl to nearby grind). 360 One foot japans and Del Mar Indys are also worth a lot of points, but rely on grindings and inverts, and manual special. Doing specials are also useful to get points. `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ LOS ANGELES `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ ******************************************************************************** Objective Checklist(summarized) ******************************************************************************** - Get 100.000 points - Get 190.000 points - Get 400.000 points * Do an invert on the ramps in the central park * Then, do a manual special(one wheel nosemanual) * Look for a grind, and start doing Darkslides and Hanstands. * Then, manual your way to the ramps and repeat. - Get the secret tape * Floating on a rail in the central park(earthquake must have been started) - Stop the police chase * Earthquake must have been started * Grind the rail with the car on the broken bridge - Start the earthquake * Grind the rail north from the start, inside a passage(the one leading to the street) * Grind the rail leading downtown to the right from where you start * As you end grinding the first rail, turn right and grind the rail here * As you finish grind the last rail, turn around and skate through the skate to the metal fence at the end.

Cars also drive around her, and they normally ramp anything on their path. The police chase is specially dangerous, as you don't stand a chance against it. There few interactive objects, until you start the earthquake, which widens the options a little bit. You can enter a few buildings too. ******************************************************************************** Objective checklist ******************************************************************************** ******************************************************************************** Get 100.000 points/190.000 points/400.000 points ******************************************************************************** As stated before, you can't rely on grinds in this level, so put a few air specials on your special slots, as well as manual specials. Skate to the central park, and look for a set of twin ramps(purple). Do an invert, and then do a manual special. Then, keep the balance, and look for a nearby grind. Grind for a while, and when you fall, start another kind of manual special(don't repeat the same one, or else its value will start decreasing) and head back to the twin ramps. Stop the manual, and do an invert, and then repeat. This also takes a lot of time to do, but it is worth it. ******************************************************************************** One foot japan tower poppin' transfer(vert skater) ******************************************************************************** From where you start, go down the set of stairs here(bunker gap) and skate down the streets to the fountain. You'll see two ramps next to this fountain. Use either one of them, do a one foot japan and land on the floor above. If you can, take air by using a ramp in the tower above, do a one foot japan, and land on the ramp below. Either way, this is an easy objective. ******************************************************************************** Varial kickflip the tower rail gap(street skater) ******************************************************************************** From the start of the level, go down the set of stairs, and go down the street. Go through the windows which can be smashed, and use a ramp to get to an area with grates. Look for a rail, grind it, and halfway is a gap. Do a varial kickflip in the gap, and then hold triangle to start grinding again. This make take a while(is pretty tough) but you'll do it sometime. ******************************************************************************** Get the secret tape ******************************************************************************** To get the secret tape, you must first have completed the earthquake objective. Once you do so, go down the stairs from the start of the level, and go down the street. Then, turn to the left, and head towards the area with the car wash. Use the ramps next to the bucket with fire to launch yourself onto the car wash roof. Then, jump onto the broken bridge. Skate forwards a wooden ramp at the end of the bridge, and use it to launch yourself into a balcony. In this balcony, skate towards the next balcony, and throw yourself into it. You'll see a rail. Grind it up and get the secret tape. ******************************************************************************** Start the earthquake ******************************************************************************** To start the earthquake you must grind certain rails spread throughout the level. For the first one, go down the set of stairs north from where you start, and enter the little tunnel there. Grind he leftmost rail down. As you land, head to the left, and you'll see two rails. Grind the right one. Then, return to the main streets, and grind the rails directly north from the rail you grinded last time. After you grind the last one, turn around, and grind the rail north from the fountain. Earthquake!. ******************************************************************************** Free ballin' ******************************************************************************** In the main park, there are two balls. Jump onto them, or do a flip trick in front of them, and you'll send them flying. Problem solved pal. ******************************************************************************** Stop the police chase ******************************************************************************** To complete this objective, you must have completed the earthquake objective. Afterwards, from the start of the level, go down the staircase, and skate down the road, and then skate to the left, to the car wash. Use the ramps here in order to get to the car wash rooftop. In here, jump onto the broken bridge rooftop. You'll see car about to fall. Grind the rail where the car is, and it'll fall down, blocking the police chase. Objective completed then. ******************************************************************************** Collect Skate ******************************************************************************** * First set ************ - From the start of the level, turn left, and look for this letter, which can be reached by olling. - To the left side of the cinema is a ramp, which should be used to get this letter. - On the half pipe above the car wash. - On the fire truck's ladder, next to the car wash. - Near a store which is behind the car wash(big discounts I believe is named) * Second set ************ - Go down the stairs in front of you after you start, and turn right. You'll see this letter floating above a rail(this is the S letter) - This one is located on a ramp north of the letter above. - Floating around the are with steaming grates. - Floating on the rail which leads to the kiosk, next to the car wash. - On top a yellow wall on the central park * Third set ************ - This one is floating on the same side it was floating before(this is the S letter) - Right after you finish grinding(from the rail mentioned above), advance forwards to get this letter. - After you get this letter, advance towards the right street(next to the central park). You should spot this letter as you skate. - In the central park is a, eh, purple wall. This letter is floating above it. - Directly across from the purple wall listed above is little block with ramps inside it. Use them to get this letter. `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ TOKYO `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ This is probably the easiest competition. First off, put in your special slots some manual specials and inverts. From the start, go down the slope, and do a one foot japan over the fun box, and skate to the ramp. Do an invert, and as you land, do a manual special, and then grind the rail near here. AS you land, skate to the nearest ramp, do an invert, and as you land, do a manual, and then grind the rail here, and then repeat. Keep doing this and you should have about 350.000 points at the end. Other competitors only rack up about 90.000 points, so you should get the second(or even the first) place easily. `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ CRUISE SHIP `+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´+`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´`+´ ******************************************************************************** Objective checklist(summarized) ******************************************************************************** - Get 180.000 points - Get 220.000 points - Get 500.000 points * Do some manuals and inverts on the empty pool * Grind a lot, and link all the tricks with reverts and manuals. - Get the secret tape * Floating above the big red pillar north from the starting point. - Trash the museum * Grind the rail inside the museum with two cables linked to it. - Invert the high wires * After you drain the pool(see walkthrough) take air and invert the high wires - Noseblunt an awning * Noseblunt in awning on the place where the life boats are - Raise the Ferry * Do a wall ride on the pan next to the un-raised ferry. - Impress the NeverSoft girls * Standing next to the pool * Inside the autrium * In the area beyond the museum(smash the window) * Drop yourself one deck from where the girl above is. * In the part area(one deck north from where you start) are two girls * In the are where the life boats are - Collect Skate * See walkthrough ******************************************************************************** Area analysis ******************************************************************************** Man, this level is really huge!. Just to tell you, from the start of the leve, you can drop yourself two decks below, and explore. The upper deck is the one with the pool, the women, the heliport. The middle deck is the one with the atrium, museum, and the stores awnings. The lower level is conformed by the life boat area, which is where the stores area. Apart from these, there is the museum, where you can pull out a couple of simple grinds which are easily combined with broken windows gaps. There is also the party area, which is reach by throwing yourself from the pit behind from where you start. Here, you'll see cake, a pool, and women. ******************************************************************************** Get 150.000 points/225.000 points/500.000 points ******************************************************************************** For this objective, I like to drain the pool first(see the "invert high wires objective") and there, do an invert, then a manual, then a grind, then a manual, then a grind, then a manual, then an invert. This little nasty combo is worth a lot of points. If you can manual for about 20 seconds, you'll get a helluva lot of points, specially if you combine a long lasting manual with a long lasting grind, as well as a long lasting invert. You could also, from the star of the level, jump over the rail to the right of the pool, land on the atrium, and do flips+grinds there for some easy points(about 70.000 if you're skill full enough. ******************************************************************************** Raise the ferry ******************************************************************************** To raise the ferry, from where you start, head to the left(left side of the pool) and drop yourself two decks down. Look for the un raised ferry. There will be a man near the ferry, with a panel near him. Wallride the panel, and you'll raise the ferry, completing this objective. ******************************************************************************** Invert the high wires(vert skaters) ******************************************************************************** For this one, go down the ramps at the start of the level, and go around the pool, towards the big red & white pillar. To the right of this pillar is a rail with a valve. Grind this rail, and you'll drain the pool, leaving it skate-able. Get into it, and gain enough speed, so you can reach the high wires above the pool, and do an invert on it. ******************************************************************************** Noseblunt an awning(street skaters) ******************************************************************************** From where you start, go down the ramps here, and then head to the left, and drop yourself two decks, to the area where the life boats and the stores are. In here, you'll see each store's roofs, which are considered awnings. Grind a rail, and jump into an awning, and then into the other one. Then land on the floor. If done correctly, you'll complete this level(summary: grind the south part of the rails around the stores, and jump into the awnings). ******************************************************************************** Impress the neversoft girls ******************************************************************************** To impress this girl with half-boobs on the air, do couple of tricks which score around 1.000 points. Because the level is extremely big, and there are seven of them, this could be pretty hard. 1 girl - Wandering around the left side of the pool. 2 girl - From where you start, head forwards and go around the pool, and drop one deck, by jumping the rail behind the big red pillar. There is a girl south of the pool here. 3 - Inside the atrium. 4 - In the right side of the pool in the mid deck(where the cake is). 5 - In the south part of the bottom deck. 6 - In the north part of the bottom deck. 7 - In the museum, smash your way through the big windows, and you'll see the last neversoft girl which needs to be impressed. ******************************************************************************** Trash the museum ******************************************************************************** To trash the museum, go down the a ramp in front of you at the start of the level, and turn 90º degrees. You'll see a short path with a rail on it leading down. Use to enter the museum. In here, grind the rail with the windows to broke the cables holding an propeller. Once you do, the propeller will go out the museum, and land in front a ped. The ped will go out the ship then, and the safety net will appear. ******************************************************************************** Get the secret tape ******************************************************************************** The secret tape in this level is a little tricky. Before going down the ramps in front of you, turn around. You'll see two wires, low and high, and a ramp. Use the quarter pipe to the right, and take air, and then move slightly to the left. As the gap name appears, press triangle to start grinding. This grind will take you to the top of the big red pillar here. Use the ramps here to take air and get the secret tap which is floating in the air. ******************************************************************************** Collect Skate ******************************************************************************** * First set ************ - Floating on one of the high wires(the same ones used to complete the "invert the high wires" objective). - Floating on the red pillar(use the ramps there to get it) - Grind the cables connected to the red pillars all the way down where this letter is. - This one is near the cake which is one deck down north from where you start. - Around the are with the letter listed above. * Second set ************ - Turn as you start the level, and grind the rail here. On your way down, you'll get this. - On the bow of the ship, look for a set of quarter pipes - Around the area with the atrium - This one is north of the cake, one deck north from where you start. - This one is floating inside the atrium * Third set ************ - This one is floating around the safety net(you must trash the museum first) - Floating above the Ferry which can be raised(launch yourself into it by using an awning) - This one is floating on a rail to the right from where you start - Floating on one of the life boats in the life boat area - On the back of the ship(ahhhhh... I'm lazy!). ================================================================================ SHAUN PALMERS DEMO ================================================================================ This game is very, very similar to tony hawk's pro skater. I currently own the original, full version, and I must say I love it. You'll play the Aspen level on the demo. The walkthrough below is based on the Aspen level found in the original, full version. ********************************* Aspen - Quick objective checklist ********************************* - High score *COMPLETE* - Pro score *COMPLETE* - Sick score *COMPLETE* - Get the Aspen logos *COMPLETE* - Demolish the coffee stands *INCOMPLETE* - Bonk the gondola *INCOMPLETE* - Show the yuppies the bottom of your board *INCOMPLETE* - Get the secret sponsor *INCOMPLETE* - Finish before 1:25 with over 30.000 points *COMPLETE* ************************************ Aspen - In depth objective checklist ************************************ - High score/Pro score/Sick score --------------------------------- As you start, jump, and do a kickflip(a Misty 5 or a Rodeo), and as you land, manual. When you reach another edge, do two flips and hold a melancholy(you can also pull out a 1080 melancholy here; really!). Then, do manual, and grind the tree to the rooftop. Grind your way towards the rooftops edge, and drop yourself while doing a grab. Then manual a bit, and let the combo go. Look for a ramp around here, and repeat. It should be easy to rack up the necessary points you need. - Get the Aspen Logos --------------------- 1 - From where you start, skate along the left side, and launch yourself into the house rooftop. Then, grab the logo which is floating here. 2 - This logo is located on a tank, which is accessed by jumping off from a house(the one with a yuppie on it). 3 - This one is floating on a house(which holds the spider sabich air gap) next to a coffee stand. 4 - At the end of the level, grind the rails on the lounge area, and get this logo which is floating on the air. - Demolish the coffee stands ---------------------------- 1 - This one is located to the left of the house north from where you start on. 2 - Skate to the left after you demolish the first stand, and you should see this one next to a chairlift. 3 - Next to the house where you found the third logo. 4 - At the end of the level, skate to the left. You should see this coffee stand around here. 5 - ???? - Bonk the Gondola ------------------ Skate along the right side of the level until you reach the area with a tree, and a gondola station. Use the tree to launch yourself into the station rooftops, and then, throw yourself throughout the breakable floor on the roof. You'll see the gondola here. Bonk it up(note: I haven't tested this out yet. I just suppose is here, judging from the cinemas. Sorry =( - Show the yuppies the bottom of your board ------------------------------------------- There are about five yuppies spread throughout the whole level. You'll know you have found a yuppie when you see a funny looking man screaming at you and waving his/her hands on the air. When you find one, olli across him(show him the bottom of your board). Look for the throughout the level, and show them what you got. I'll add their locations as I explore the level with more patience and time. - Get the secret sponsor ------------------------ To get this one, skate along the right side of the level until you reach a house(to the right of the first house you see(the one north from where you start)). Launch yourself into its roof, and grind along the cable which is connected to the house(it is on the far end of the roof). You should get the secret sponsor while grinding. - Finish off before 125 with over 30.000 points ----------------------------------------------- As you start, jump, and do a kickflip(a Misty 5 or a Rodeo), and as you land, manual. When you reach another edge, do two flips and hold a melancholy(you can also pull out a 1080 melancholy here; really!). Then, do manual, and grind the tree to the rooftop. Grind your way towards the rooftops edge, and drop yourself while doing a grab. Then manual a bit, and let the combo go. Repeat once again, and then rush your way towards the level finishing line. ================================================================================ PARK EDITOR ================================================================================ The park editor you can use In this game is far more complex than the ones found in the previous games(not as complex as Dave Mirra 2, in my opinion). You know have a crapload of items which you can use, and that are listed below, right after the controls section: ******************************************************************************** CONTROLS ******************************************************************************** D-pad - Used to select a piece and to change piece categories. Left stick - Used to move the piece around the field. Right stick - Used to move the camera around L2 - Used to lower a piece. L1 - Used to increment a piece height. R1 - Zoom camera out R2 - Zoom camera in Square - Rotates a piece Circle - Rotates a piece Triangle - Used to delete a piece Start - Used to access the park editor menu. ******************************************************************************** PARK EDITOR MENU ******************************************************************************** Continue - You'll be able to continue the creation of your park Test skate - Used to test out the map you're currently working on. Switch theme - You can switch the park them(school, beach, indoor & outdoor). Clear map - You'll clear your map(and you'll be able to select another map size) Pre made parks - You'll be able to play(and tweak) pre made parks. Save - You'll be able to save your park Load - You'll be able to load your park. ================================================================================ SECRETS ================================================================================ Coming son!. ================================================================================ WHAT COMES NEXT? ================================================================================ - In next version(1.0) I'll add the introduction, credits, basics section, control, character guide(only normal characters), gap list for the first three levels, s-k-a-t-e letters for the first three levels(excluding Rio), park editor, shaun palmer demo, and tricks guide. - In the next version, I'll add more gaps, the s-k-a-t-e lettering for at least one level, park editor, and Shaun Palmer's demo. - In the next version, I'll finish the gaps list and I'll also add the skate locations to the main walkthrough(this will be the first complete version of the guide). I'll also finish and tweak up another sections. - Finish the secret section and the shaun palmer demo section, and add the gaps for the secret levels. - More information will be added... ================================================================================ COPYRIGHT NOTICE ================================================================================ This document property of "GheddonLN".
