How it plays

How does Tony Hawk's Pro Skater play?

The game uses a third-person perspective behind the skater. Each location contains goals such as reaching target scores, collecting letters, finding hidden objects, and completing level-specific challenges.

Players combine ollies, grabs, flips, grinds, manuals, and special tricks. Linking moves increases the score multiplier, while landing safely preserves the combo. Career progression unlocks further objectives and locations as goals are completed.

Plan your run

What is the best way to play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater?

Learn each park's lines before attempting difficult goals. Use ramps and quarter pipes to gain height, then connect grabs or flips into grinds and manuals.

For high scores, land a trick, hold a manual, and chain additional tricks or grinds before ending the combo. Upgrade stats that match your preferred approach, especially ollie, air, speed, and balance.
