Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (Game Boy Color)/Skate Street

The second and final tournament is at Ventura's Plywood Paradise. This level is based on the real life Skatestreet with a 2D approximation of its layout from 1998. Ramps, funboxes, and rails galore; this area is a skater's paradise.

One Five Move Combo
Cash Reward: $300

At the start, go to the right and skate past the stairset and find two rails: one flat and one slanted. Jump on the flat rail to do a grind while going toward the slanted rail. Jump off at the edge and do a 180 spin before landing on the slanted rail. Grind until you lose speed and go to the left and jump off the edge again with another 180 spin. Land on the flat rail for another grind and you have five tricks in one combo. If you decide to do air tricks instead of spins, make sure you have enough time before you land on the rail or the trick might not count toward the multiplier.

5,000 / 10,000 Points
Cash Rewards: $500, $500

The rail line mentioned above is a good way to build up score, especially if you try harder grinds. If you do that line two or three times, you should easily reach 10,000. An alternative way is to go into the halfpipe and do air tricks while going back and forth. Ideally, you should do two tricks and a spin, but measure how much airtime your skater has to ensure they don't bail.

S-K-A-T-E
Cash Reward: $500

The letters always arranged from the left side of the map to the right, so it's advised to collect them from S to E unless there's a particular letter that's difficult to reach.


 * THPS2 GBC SkateStreetLetterS.png* S: At the left edge of the map, you'll find it way above a quarterpipe against the left wall. If you can't reach it after building up speed, then do this goal later when you have a better board.
 * K: Above the middle of the halfpipe to the right of the large steps. Use the rail on the slope to build up speed and jump at the edge of the halfpipe to get it.
 * A: Above the tiny quarterpipe. Let go of the right direction on the D-Pad to air up the QP instead of forward.
 * T: To the right of the big hump. Get some speed, grind the rail on top and jump off just before the rail kinks downhill.
 * E: Above the middle of the halfpipe at the right edge of the map (the one with the wooden wall). When you reach the left side of the halfpipe, ollie toward it.

Cash Icons
Unlike the other versions of the game, cash icons will respawn between sessions, so they're not required to complete levels. There are very few of them in this level and they're all easy to reach.


 * $10: Above the second step of the stair set. Just ollie off the third step to reach it.
 * $10: Above the rail that's right of the small quarterpipe. Grind the rail and jump for it.
 * $10: Between the large hump and the right edge of the map. A simple ollie is enough.
