I can explain the Lil Jon one. During a stream, AndyTHPS told a story of how basically Lil Jon was at an E3 booth where Andy was demoing THAW. And apparently Lil Jon was so amazed by what he saw, he got his people to contact Neversoft and have him put in the game.

There’s an option in Disney Extreme Skate Adventure to turn on “Pro” gameplay that makes it play like a regular THPS game

[@Kunnazy]

That's what I was using for the footage. Though I should've brought that up.

[@Dizz2K7]

It uses the thps 4 engine, so that goes without saying.

[@Xindictive]

Yea... Pro control settings doesn't make it that much like a regular THPS game, Kunnazy is still not wrong with what he said about it. All it does is have the button prompts *sort of* be like the actual games. Square and Circle tricks are still a mess, as not every Square trick is a flip and not every Circle trick is a grab... nor do they even have different tricks for the most part.

[@SageArdor]

And I personally found that more intuitive than the default control scheme.

Great vid! Though here are some corrections and comments: - The LA pillar refers to a different pillar, the one near the yellow shack. In THUG2, wallriding it will zoom the camera out and count how many times you wall-rode around it. - The Barcelona stretcher is also visible in the PSP port THUG2 Remix. The reason why it isn't visible in other versions is due to some sort of transparency bug. Pretty much any kind of moving object that's behind a transparent texture such as a window will not be shown. Another good example is some spinning blades in Boston, where you have to break the grind blockers. The blades are visible on PS2/PSP, but not other versions. - The hippo sex area is actually under the Zoo level. You can easily find it by using thugpro's freecam. The hippos arent there, they seem to only spawn when viewing through the scope. Oh yeah, and theres a tree there. There isn't even a tree in the hippo area. - The CKY graffiti could be referring to a bit of graffiti in Barcelona. Right next to the MAMO area at the OOB street, you can see graffiti saying "CKY". The SSBSTS graffiti in Suburbia is cool, too. - There is another reference to Kurt in Barcelona. In the Maremagnum area, there is a sign that says "Por favor, NO KURT en la agua" which means "Please, NO KURT in the water". Also, in the debug menu for thps4, thug and thug2, if you select "score 5 million points", you do a trick called "You cheat like Kurt". - Airshuffling was an exploit from THAW. There exist tutorials on how to do them. You pretty much make a created manual trick, do the manual in the air while off your board, ollie and repeat. Thugpro pretty much made an easier variation of it. - The andyTHPS bunker ledge is a reference to a classic video by an old clan called tXo (thugXonline). In one of these vids is a clip of Andy playing THPS3, and he manuals that exact ledge in LA. The video was made back in I believe 2002, back in the dayz of downloading 240p AVIs from websites. - There exist MANY, MANY more names that perform a similar effect to TYR. They all result in different jumbled words. I have no idea what the strings could mean. I believe they could be ciphers. I tried Ceasar, but turned up empty. Maybe it could be a different one? That or the names inputted are supposed to be a key? That's just a theory. - A little interesting tidbit about the Hookups deck in THAW: the deck is actually censored, the girl is supposed to have her middle finger up, but its edited out. The uncensored deck still exists in the game's files. - THAW also has it's own set of strange test cutscenes. THUG1 has a file called "TEST.cut" but I never managed to get it working. And in THUG1's music files, there is a piece of cutscene audio called something like "NJ Pool" or "Pool Test" where a guy tries to grind a pool but fails. - In Vancouver in THUG, the limo's license plate says "Lim0zEEn" which is yet another HSR reference. The panel messages when whacking the electrical box in THAW also include "Don't cross the streams" and "1.21 Giggawatts". - If you ollie over the dog in Tampa, it actually disappears. Forgot what the gap name was, but I think it could imply that the dog is related to Ollie the Bum. - The hidden Sk8land messages allude to other secrets. The first one mentioned is actually "The CRATE-a-skater lives". By putting in a cheat (I think it's "crate-a-skater" your skater turns into a crate. The second message hints to when going behind a specific set of bushes, you hear... farts. yup lol Aside from these, this was a great video! I never thought someone would cover a THPS iceberg. I have thought about making my own iceberg, too. I do know about tons of like obscure tidbits. Like how you can see the mystery machine in the cemetery CAP theme, or that there's an inaccessible room in the Shipyard. So many strange and elusive details!

Just a small correction regarding Disney's Extreme Skate Adventure Each character has three unlockable special moves, not just one. They each get one air special, one lip special, and one manual special, and each is unlocked at random by collecting all 25 of their collectables in each level. (And on a personal note I would have much preferred a grind special over a lip special if they absolutely had to stick to just three.)

[@Lincolnlogsoff]

The reason hospital bed was taken out of other versions is most likely due to an ESRB review team missing it or something. I believe that they edit games rated teen based off of instances of anything contoversial or blood and gore. While it is fairly easy to ask a programmer to take out something named "gun shot" they could have seen "hospital bed" and thought nothing of it on the Ps2 version's censor team. "A hospital bed? That's not inherently bloody or gory." Along those lines.

[@SlyCooperReloadCoded]

Fun fact - the filename for the audio showcased at 12:03 is "PARLIAMENT" which adds to the joke.

Correction on Wallride Pillar -- in THUG2 classic mode if you wallride the pillar closest to the movie theatre the camera will zoom out and a counter will show for how many times you can zoom around the pillar. I'm guessing that's what this entry was referring to.

I got THPS3 when I was a kid but I was a bit too young to really understand how the game worked and so I lost interest quickly and the game sat in my cabinet for almost twenty years. I recently started skateboarding in real life and I remembered Pro Skater 3, so I took it out and decided to play it for real for the first time. I can't believe that there's still new content being created about these games over two decades later.

[@aortaplatinum]

I don't know shit about these games and just barely remember playing 2 as a SUPER little kid, but I can actually explain the woman's face on the boxes in the N64 port. You mentioned it's when the Expansion Pak is inserted, and this is why, because what the Expansion Pak does is allow for more VRAM and higher quality textures, however this can cause various bugs with games not programmed to use the Pak such as the unskippable opening to Space Station Silicon Valley not playing properly and then crashing the game. The woman's face is a texture used elsewhere that just bugged it's way onto those boxes, probably from an in-level advertisement for something, especially since the level appears to be in a mall or similar environment

[@aortaplatinum]

@Lyla If it's only on the N64 version, it makes sense for it to be a bug. Just because there's a 100% chance of something happening under certain conditions doesn't mean it's not a bug, that's like saying the backwards long jump isn't a bug because you can consistently pull it off. It's likely that due to the changes made to the N64 version, and that most N64s have the Expansion Pak in there, that the box is just loading the wrong texture.

[@xbox360fan42]

Tony Hawk games were my childhood! Especially THUG & THUG 2

[@guitargodthor2]

A hidden area you didn't mention is in the Area 51 level where you can jump the fence where you 1st drop in. It only works on the right corner though and there is a hidden pit fall that keeps you from getting to the chopper. If you fall in, you can't get out and you have to restart the level. It works on both the PS1 and N64 versions but they got rid of it in the new remake.

No they're not. First of all, there is no such thing as a nollie half cab. Half cab and cab is reserved for fakie, named after Steve Caballero, so don't even mention nollie. And on top of that, BS and FS are not interchangeable in the slightest.

[@VIDEOGAMEMASTER26109]

@@BoofPack69 I am not referring to the half-cab part what you say is correct there is no such thing as a nollie half cab. I'm referring to BS and FS part. BS and FS refer to what part of your body first faces the direction of travel as you spin and thoughout my years of skating I have noticed that when it comes to nollie (not so much) and fakie people will flip the direction of travel to be opposite of the actual direction of travel which is okay but in turns changes FS to BS or BS to FS depending on how they call the trick. Realising this has been handy for judging games of S.K.A.T.E at my local because yer people do have different preferences on whats BS and whats FS. They are interchangeable.

But if you touch the walls and corners of the elevator while its going up, the game glitches and you get stuck frozen mid air and you have to restart the console.

[@theharvardyard2356]

Sk8land hidden rail/message - If you hang out in some of the bushes in the corner near the big mansion and the level exit in Beverly Hills, a fart sound effect will play.
