Beating the game has its rewards of movies but also of opening up
hidden new characters. Not only are the characters unlocked but their
special moves along with them. After unlocking a character you can then
set any other character to have the new moves in the edit tricks menu.
On the character select screen, watch the counter clerk of the skate
shop react to the different characters.
Darth Maul - Complete all goals with any one skater.
New Moves - Force Grab, Dark Jedi Grind, Sith Saber Spin.
Counter Clerk - Do not underestimate the power of the dark side.

In THPS3 you have a much more detailed create-a-skater, allowing you to
create almost any possible look or style, including females. You can
set the skaters sex, age, height/weight, skin tone, accessories, and
other things as well. To completely beat the game, you need to have
completed all goals with one created skater, so go ahead and design at
least one.
2a. Secret Create-A-Skaters

3. Park Editor
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Use the park editor to create the skate park of your dreams. Load a
pre-made park to get ideas on how levels are made.
4. Grinds
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
FS/BS is determined by if your back or front is facing the rail while
you grind. Controls are the same whether frontside or backside.
50-50
-------
Regular grind with no directional arrows.

Boardslide/Lipslide
--------------------
Hit the rail sideways
Can't be linked
To perform a hidden combo, press the controls for the next grind
without jumping.
All combos can be done without your special meter full, but will fill
it up immediatley.
If you want to have every grind in your chain, you should begin with a
50-50 and then move to a Nosegrind or 5-0. These are the only grinds
that can't be looped back to. So if you don't put them in the
beginning, you can't have them at all.
While grinding, loop through Nosebluntslide-Crooked-Noseslide-Overcrook
in any order, if you're on your nose, or Bluntslide-Smith-Tailslide-
Feeble in any order, if you're on your tail.
Cheap Combo: In any grind besides boardslide or 50-50 repeatedly switch
between hitting circle-circle and square-square. You can rack up decent
points but at the loss of style.
5. Flip Tricks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The controls for each trick can be set in the edit tricks menu.
Listed here are the different flip tricks you can choose from.
180 Varial
360 Flip
360 Varial
Front Foot Impossible
FS Shove-It
Fingerflip
Heelflip Varial Lien
Hardflip
Heelflip
Impossible
Inward Heelflip
Kickflip
Ollie Airwalk
Ollie North
Pop Shove-It
Sal Flip
Varial
Varial Heelflip
Varial Kickflip
5a. Hidden Combos!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hidden Flip combos can be done by pressing the flip button(square)
repeated times while performing a particular trick. The controls will
be different depending on how you set to do the trick.
Quickly do a flip to a grab to pull off these combos.
Kickflip to Indy
Kickflip to Crail
6. Lip Tricks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Perform a lip trick by riding up to the edge of a quarterpipe straight
on and pressing triangle. By pressing a directional button with
triangle, you can perform various lip tricks. There are 15 regular and
8 special lip tricks you can perform. The regular lip tricks are
performed with one directional button push and triangle. The special
lip tricks are performed with two presses of a directional button. Edit
your tricks to the trick you want and how to control it.
There are two ways to link lip tricks. You can perform an ollie and
before coming back down enter another lip trick and you will land back
on the edge in the new trick.
You can also link to other tricks without using an ollie.
While holding a trick(besides Inverts), press:
right-right-triangle for an Axel Stall
left-left-triangle for a Boneless
left-right-triangle for a Disaster
If you are in an Invert lip trick, press:
right-right-triangle for an Invert
left-left-triangle for an One Foot Invert
left-right-triangle for a Gymnast Plant
right-left-triangle for a Varial Invert to Fakie
7. Manuals
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Manuals are essential to keep your combo going and rack up the points.
Press either up-down, or down-up to perform a manual or nose manual.
You can press the controls while skating on the ground, or in the air,
pulling the manual when you land. If you press either L2 or R2 while
manualing, you will perform a pivot. A pivot spins your character
around 180 degrees. The pivot is best used to add to your multiplyer,
but also adds that extra style.
Flatland tricks are special manuals you can do that add extra points to
your score, but more importantly, add extra style. All characters can
perform everyone else's particular flatland tricks with the exception
of Demoness' Going Home.
First thing you need to do is set your characters special tricks. Make
sure your character has at least one special manual. Set the controls
to something comfortable to you.
When your special meter is full, perform your special manual. Keep an
eye on your balance meter.
You cannot combo out of all manuals so try out the one you chose.
Perform the special manual with special meter full. From any special
manual you can combo into a:
Truckstand(right-right-triangle)
To Rail(left-left-triangle)
Casper(right-left-triangle)
Anti-Casper(left-right-triangle)
Handstand(right-right-circle)
While in any of these tricks but the Anti-Casper, pressing left-square
will flip the board. While in a Truckstand, performing another
Truckstand will do a Truckspin.
Don't forget to throw in a few pivots for extra flair.
9. Revert
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I can't stress enough the importance of the revert/manual. I have
people bragging to me online, "I am a master at Tony Hawk, all I need
to do is learn how to manual." You are a master of nothing without the
revert/manual.
To revert press R2 or L2 as you land. This performs a quick spin.
During this spin you can perform any trick to keep your combo going.
Revert on nearly every landing. Even if you don't plan on continuing
your combo, by using the revert, the landings are more forgiving. You
can land at terrible angles and hold grabs until the second you revert,
without bailing.
10. Levels
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Stat Icon locations are different depending on who you are skating
with. There are three possible locations for the hidden deck. Vert
skaters have a different goal than street skaters on each level. Both
goals and all three possible deck locations are listed here.
10a. Foundry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goals:
-------
Get a High Score: 10,000
Get a Pro Score: 30,000
Get a Sick Score: 60,000
Sick Score Suggestion - 60,000: This score is neither high nor hard. In
the halfpipe, do a few spinning flip/grab tricks, followed by a
revert/manual, and then another spinning flip/grab trick. Three of
these will give you the score.
Collect S-K-A-T-E: The letters vary throughout the level depending on
which skater you are using. They can always be found in a logical order
S through E.
Get the Secret Tape: As you start the level, turn slightly right and
use the lip to jump up to the catwalk. Ride the catwalk up to the glass
room. Face right and line yourself up with the metal rafter in the
center. Jump through the glass and grind on the rafter to reach the
tape.
50-50 TC's Rail(street): Use a regular grind the whole length of the
rail in the middle of the level with photographer Taylor standing next
to it.
Cannonball Over the Halfpipe(vert): Pause the game, go to edit tricks,
grab tricks. Look at the controls for cannonball. Leap over the
halfpipe while doing a cannonball.
Soak the Foreman: Grind the rail behind the foreman next to the pool.
Grind the Molten Bucket: Stand next to the window with the man inside
at the back of the level. When the lights turn red and the alarms go
off, use the quarterpipe to pick up speed, then head towards the molten
bucket. Use the lip to gain air and grind on either rail on the side of
the bucket. Don't aim for the center of the bucket or you'll be
hurting.
Un-Jam 5 Valves: Grind the 5 pipes sticking out from the wall located
around the outside of the level. The lights should turn from red to
blue. Plus you may find a secret.
Deck Locations:
------------------------
1: From the start check above the quarter pipe behind you and to your
right.
2: From the start head down the rollin on the very left there will be a
small quarter pipe in front of a bunch of lined up red canisters...
launch yourself to the rail above them to nab it.
3: Skate to the back of the park where the long curved yellow rail is
and the molten bucket you must grind. Below the yellow rail is a
quarterpipe. Use the quarterpipe to launch yourself up to the next
platform above you. The 3rd location for the deck is the rail you will
grind.
Secret Area:
-------------
Complete the level goal of unjamming 5 valves by grinding all five of
the pipes sticking out of the wall around the level. They will be lit
red until you un-jam them and the light turns blue. This opens up the
generator core behind the starting point.
10b. Canada
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Goals:
-------------------
Get a High Score: 35,000
Get a Pro Score: 70,000
Get a Sick Score: 120,000
Sick Score Suggestion - 120,000: Grind up and down the two long rails
found at the end of the parking lot, picking up the Parking Lot Mini
Gap. Manual from each end of the rail up the vert and perform a
spinning flip/grab trick. Revert/manual back onto the rail and repeat
on the other side. With special grinds you get the sick score in two
passes.
Collect S-K-A-T-E: The letters vary throughout the level depending on
which skater you are using. They can always be found in a logical order
S through E.
Get the Secret Tape: On the furthest wooden walkway behind the starting
point, grind the rail next to the box with the on off switch. This will
raise the halfpipe at the end of the walkway. Transfer up to the raised
halfpipe and then transfer across to the higher level. Ride to the end
and jump across the gap. At the top is the mine car rails. Grind the
right side of the rail and you will be brought to the tape.
Nosegrind Around the Horn(street): Fall into the water under the wooden
bridge behind the starting point. This will place you in perfect
position. Grind the rail all the way around to the left passing by
photographer Taylor.
Melongrab Over the Blade(vert): Pause the game, go to edit tricks, grab
tricks. Look at the controls for melongrab. Transfer over the ramp you
ride down at the start of the level while pulling a melongrab.
Get Chuck Unstuck: Jump the fence on the left at the start of the
level. Run over unlucky Chuck to free him.
Bury That Bully!: Use the quarterpipe on the right side of the ramp you
ride down at the beginning. Hold up and X to launch over the
quarterpipe and land in the tree, giving the bully what he deserves.
Impress the Skaters: There are five Canadian skaters located above the
quarterpipes in the skate park to the right of the starting point. Bust
a decent trick on their quarterpipe to impress them. They will
disappear so you know when you have impressed which skater.
Deck Locations:
---------------------------
1: From the start go forward right past Chuck. On your left hand side
there is a quarterpipe with a Canadian flag above it... launch up to
the flag in the center of the quarter pipe to get this deck.
2: From the start follow the fence on your right until it connects to
another fence. Diagonally in the middle is a wire with a deck on it.
Use the quarter pipe on the other side of the fence to launch up to it
if your stats aren't high enough.
3: Turn around and launch yourself to the wooden platform from the roll
in you start the level on. Jump to the next platform and turn around.
Grind the wire on your left-hand side (grinding the horn) there will be
a deck half way around. If you have any problems, just take a dive into
the water where the bully is and you'll begin right where the Grinding
the Horn objective is. Grind the wire for the deck.

the twin towers is a set of stairs with many railings and photographer
Taylor. Pick up the Tower Rails gap while varial kickflipping by
grinding on the rails no one side of the stairs and leaping to the
rails on the other side.
One Foot Japan the Tower Poppin' Transfer(vert): Use the halfpipe
between the twin towers to transfer on top of the glass portion of
buliding connecting the towers. Pause the game, go to edit tricks, grab
tricks. Look at the controls for a one foot Japan. Transfer over into
the roof halfpipe while pulling a one foot japan.
Free Ballin': Knock the two large red balls off their pedestals.
Start the Earthquake: You need to grind the whole length of all four
east/west/north/south tremor rails to set off the earthquake. The rails
are all located around the building immediately in front of the
starting point.
The westerntremor rail is under the arch through the middle of the
building, on the left-hand side.
The southerntremor rail is bordering the sidewalk on the far side of
the building.
The northentremor rail is bordering the sidewalk on the near side of
the building off to it's right.
The easterntremor rail is the rail on the left of the two rails running
down the left side of the building.
Block the Car Chase: Get on top of the broken freeway near the car
wash. Grind the edge of the freeway over the green car hanging off the
edge. You will complete the requests of the screaming man in the car by
getting him down from the freeway, and assist the good people of the
LAPD in the same process.
Deck Locations:
----------------------
1: Skate to the purple halfpipe and grind up the edge of the one
closest to the movie theater. A wire connects the quarter pipe to the
section just below the movie theater sign. Get speed to grind up and
jump off at the platform the deck is here.
2: Use the left quarter pipe to launch up and over the wall the 2nd
quarterpipe. Land and go in the opposite direction and use the other
quarter pipe to the launch to your right grind the tan platform, down
the wire to the next deck location.
3: From the carwash facing the street, skate down that street on your
right hand side there will be an opening with two quartpipes in it. Use
the right hand quarter pipe to launch up to the wire grind down past
the lamppost to get the final deck.
*Opening the Grates to get the Last Stat Point
There is a chance you are looking at a stat point floating up near the
ceiling inside of the first building you see as you begin the level,
especially if you are using your custom skater. On the top of this
building there are grates which tease you even more by letting you see
the stat point but not grasp it. To get this elusive icon you must do
the Grate Grind in a completely different area of the level.
Behind the twin towers, by the Tower Rails gap, you will find a raised
area with more grates like the ones on top of the first building. If
you grind the whole length of the elevated ledge bordering the grates,
you will pull off the That's Grate grind gap, and the grates should
open. This will open all grates in the level, including the grates
blocking you from boosting your stats. In this same two-minute run, you
need to get to the top of the first building and drop through the newly
opened gates, jumping across the gap to get the icon.
10h. Tokyo
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Gold Medal Suggestion:
------------------------
200,000 can get you a gold medal. Try grinding around repeatedly on the
inner rail of the walkway in the middle of the level, pulling multiple
specials. Or hit the pools and special/revert/manual -
special/revert/manual.
Deck Locations:
-----------------------
1: Directly above where you start is the location here's how to get
here. Find the wire above you on your right side and follow it to where
it ends on the right hand side of the stage in front of the pool. Use
the quarter pipe on your right hand side to launch up to it. When you
reach the platform jump off the wire to regain your balance, then jump
on the second wire to where it reaches the enclosure where you start
the level.
2: Go to the pool at the end of the left hand side of the level get
speed up and launch yourself up toward huge greenish sign to get this
deck.
3: Go up the ramp to the elevated platform on the left side of the
stage. Skate to the end of the straight rail and turn around. Grind the
rail, jump left and grind the rail slightly higher to your right. When
you reach the end of this rail wallride to your right and grind there
higher up rail. The deck is above the sign that falls apart like a
bunch of toothpicks when you touch it.
Secret Area:
-------------------------
In the middle of the left hand wall there is a circular blue sign with
red writing on it. You need to grind on top of this sign, breaking the
wires holding it up, and crashing it into the perimeter wall behind it.
To get up to the sign can take a couple tries. First get up on top of
the starting deck. The are other ways but the easiest is to start from
the far right back pool. Use the left side of the pool to pick up speed
and ollie off the right side of the pool, over to the right, landing on
the red sign. Grind the sign to the wire with the hanging lanterns, and
grind this wire all the way to the next roof. Grind off this roof onto
the proceeding wire and you will be on top of the starting deck. Stop
and catch your breath on this deck, while lining your self up to the
opposite wire that faces the yellow sign on the left wall of the level.
Grind this wire to the yellow sign, then grind the bottom edge of the
sign. Ollie off the yellow sign and wall ride on the blue. Wallie off
the face of the blue to grind on the top of the blue. Ollie off the top
of the blue and wall ride on the face of the red. Wallie off the face
of the red and grind the top of the red. You will grind up and over the
circular sign, opening the secret area.
Don't forget to pick up the stat icon on top of the broken fallen down
circular sign. There is a chance this is the last icon you are looking
for. If so, it will be located in the main level, above the entrance
you created to get into the secret area.

Goals:
----------
Get a High Score: 150,000
Get a Pro Score: 225,000
Get a Sick Score: 500,000
Sick Score Suggestions - 500,000: Drain the pool by grinding the low
white rail next to the red tower near the pool. Use the pool to pull
specials, revert/manualing on every landing. Grind around the pool's
edge picking up the Pop the Notch gap over the slide entrance. You can
pick up many +ped props from the scantily clad women watching you
skate.
Collect S-K-A-T-E: The letters vary throughout the level depending on
which skater you are using. They can always be found in a logical order
S through E.
Get the Secret Tape: Use one of the two ramps you ride down at the
start to jump up to the highest wire above them. Grind this wire around
to the high wire and ride it all the way across to the red tower. Use
the halfpipe to reach the high-flying tape on the left side.
Nosebluntslide an Awning(street): Use up-up-triangle to nosebluntslide
one of the red awnings on the right side of the ship, pleasing you fans
at the same time.
Ivert the High Wires(vert): Drain the pool by grinding the low white
rail next to the red tower next to the pool. Use the pool to vert
yourself high enough to stall on the high wires. Pause the game, go to
edit tricks, lip tricks. Look at the controls for an invert. If you get
high enough air, are perfectly straight, and hold the controls for the
invert, you will complete the goal.
Impress the Neversoft Girls: There are seven Neversoft girls located
around the ship you need to impress by pulling a sick trick near them.
They are located by the pool, on the mid deck with the cake near the
back of the ship, at the back of the ship, on one side below the
awnings, at the front of the ship, outside the museum at the front of
the ship, and on the other side of the ship in the atrium.
Raise the Ferry: Wall ride over the control box on the side of the ship
near the lifeboats.
Trash the Museum: Near the front of the ship is the museum with the
large propelling hanging from the ceiling. Grind over the two ropes
holding it in place. Hopefully you won't hurt anyone.
Deck Locations:
------------------
1: Immediately to your left when you start the level there is a small
kicker. Air off the kicker and into the deck.
2: Between the awnings where the nosebluntslide the awnings goal is.
Simply grind the awnings and ollie between them to get the deck.
3: On the lower deck, on the outside of the ship on the other side of
the atrium there are three lifeboats. The hidden deck is in the air
between two of them.
*Complete a full run on the cruise ship and let the ship sail on the
all goals complete screen. After about 5 minutes the captain will once
again forget to turn off the mic and you will hear what the Neversoft
girls are really used for on the ship.

If you get three gold medals with Kareem Campbell you can hear an extra
song by Kareem's group CityStars while watching his movie.
In sound options you can choose to turn off any of these songs if they
bring you headaches. You can also skip tracks, leave the playlist in
order, or make the playlist random.
There is also an added ambience if you turn off the music altogether.
14. Tips
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The longer you hold down X the higher your ollie will be. Holding down
X will also gain you speed.
The longer you hold a grab the more points you will get for it. Release
your grabs as late as possible with out bailing. Throw in the finishing
revert to stick the landing.
Keep an eye on your balance meter. THPS2 veterans must get used to
looking at the meter instead of looking at the character when they
grind.
You can perform Truckstands, To Rail, Casper, Anti-Casper, and
Handstands without having them use up one of your special trick slots,
so don't choose these as one of your special moves if you want to get
the most out of your ten special trick slots.
Put all your special grinds on down-up up-down combinations. Everytime
you are in the air press down-up/up-down and hold triangle. You can hit
a rail and pull a special, or even if you miss the rail, your combo
will continue with a manual.
To get higher scores, press L2 to Nollie before each trick, add a spin
during each trick, manual between each trick, and skate in switch. Use
a wide variety of tricks.
In career mode, your first objective on each level should be the stat
icons. Each one you pick up will make completing the goals easier.
Use the right analog stick to look around for stat icons and decks.
