TONY HAWKS PRO SKATER 1 & 2 - 20 Easter Eggs, Secrets & References

[@solaire67]

"Oh you found me" was Tony hawks first graffiti tag.

[@sullygroot924]

I'm fairly sure the eye is a throwback to the old neversoft logo

[@treefiddytwoo]

Sully Groot i know what you mean but it’s actually a little stick guy with a big head and a crown

[@Invalid1027]

I thought it was a reference to what the guy with the mini kart in thug 2 said when you find him. "Oh you found me! Meet me outside and I'll let you give the mini kart a try!"

[@kayleighbrianne7693]

I saw an interview with Tony Hawk and he talked about how big of an influence Back to the Future was for skateboarding because it was pretty much the first movie to put skateboarding in film. So that’s definitely not a coincidence he’s a big fan of back to the future.

[@davidinass]

I hope this game does well. If it does well theirs a good chance American wasteland will be remade too

[@Cameron088]

I mean, it has been in Real Lifr

[@sopapoman]

You can say whatever you want about the Underground games, but American Wasteland has indisputably more charm and personality.

[@pollutedcrimson]

American wasteland is trash compared to Underground and Underground 2. You can keep the charm and personality and I'll take the better games.

[@Tduder92]

I love American Wasteland, but I would argue that game would be almost dead last to be remade.

Lets think about it realistically, licensing for all of those characters cost money and alot of those characters are licensed for other games and/or cinemtaic companies as we speak. I dont see us THPS fans getting what we want in that aspect.

I only really played THUG 2 in the past so I've always had fond memories of it, and I'd love to see it remade. But apparently the opinions on the internet are quite polarizing when it comes to it. I do love Jackass so maybe that's why those parts never bothered me much.

The Mall level is may an Easter Egg itself to Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1... In THPS the level was clean and new but 20 years later it is abandoned.

[@alecwilliams1556]

It’s in a closing down sale on the original, so I guess they took that idea to it’s logical conclusion for the remake.

[@timfoerst6348]

The "deleted skater skeleton" is, I believe, a reference to the Dragon's Lair (1983) game over screen.

[@JamesFPV]

The time below the Dead Pine Mall sign is 11:34. Upside down spells HELL

[@genericgoon5179]

"Oh you found me" could be a nod to the "Kilroy was here" a sort of urban legend dating back as far as WW2.

[@guitargodthor2]

It was Tony's 1st ever tag.

[@pollutedcrimson]

The Oh you Found Me graffiti is actually on EVERY level not just a couple

[@Aaron-pw6cx]

Back to the future heavily influenced skateboarding with that one scene where he skates. Tony Hawk himself said that movie changed a lot. Wouldn't be surprised if it was a reference.

[@Aaron-pw6cx]

@Darren Mcclean that’s actually a myth

[@Aaron-pw6cx]

@Darren Mcclean That's a really good point you made, but the stunt doubles were Bob Schmelzer and Per Welinder.

[@umbrasunbro2142]

There’s also the CTR: Nitro Fueled graffiti on several levels mainly Downtown

[@PolarisCastillo]

Where exactly??

[@umbrasunbro2142]

Polaris Castillo the location I remember is the New York level on THPS1. There’s a Pura when you start the level and you turn around it’s on like a big piece of rubble. And on that same level there’s a big one: it’s a painting of N. Cortex (the post apocalyptic costume). It’s the same picture that you unlock for one of the Carts in CTR:NF. There’s more but I don’t remember/know then all, I only stumbled on a couple of them.

[@Matchouw]

@@PolarisCastillo If you are interested in another easter egg, one of the graffitis in the game is also found in CoD MW2 (the one from 2009), it is located in 'School 2' level in THPS2, in the area where the bathrooms are, under the rooftops. It looks like a white worm with its mouth wide open
