Every Cheat in Tony Hawk Pro Skater (& How to Unlock Them)

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 is a perfect recreation of the classic games that a lot of players grew up with. The game is a fast-paced, technical experience scored by some of the best music curated for gaming. Players will want to crank up the volume and possibly be ready to look up some songs between skate sessions.

Since music and fun are so integral to the experience of this game, a lot of players may want to augment their play to allow them to focus on these aspects. Just like the original, the game is full of helpful cheats that will allow players to make the game a bit easier to grasp. Skating isn’t the easiest thing to master, so it’s great that these mods are included. Here’s everything you need to know about cheats in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2.

Game Mods in Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1 + 2

Legacy Move Sets

This set of mods allows players to choose the style of moves they want to have access to. When the games first released there weren’t certain abilities added to the game such as Wall Plants. These moves hadn’t been put into game form yet, but players managed to hit their skill goals anyway. Players who miss those older games may want to limit themselves to those specific moves available in the original Pro Skater 1 and Pro Skater 2.

Assists

The game doesn’t have cheat codes in the original sense. There are no wacky combinations of buttons that players need to mash in order to unlock bonus content. Instead, within the game’s menu are a number of helpful assists that will allow players to have a more fun-focused time with the game.

Perfect Rail Balance: Players who activate this Assist will never have to worry about the possibility of falling off of the rail and busting up their character. Rail Grinds are hard to master for players who may not have the best reflexes with the game just yet. This Assist allows the player to quickly grind rails without the need to keep their balance the whole time. This way, players should be able to accomplish smoother combos.

Perfect Manual Balance: Manuals can be used to link tricks together instead of going back into a normal rolling stance. The last thing a player wants to do is end a good combo in the middle because of a mismanaged Manual. With this Assist activated, players will not have to pay attention to balancing their Manuals perfectly in order to get from one obstacle to the next. This does wonders for improving the overall experience of linking tricks together.

Perfect Lip Balance: This Assist works similarly to the previous two Assists in that it keeps players from having to work on their balance in the middle of a trick. This time, the Assist helps players who are focusing on Lip Tricks. When a player hits a Lip Trick, their skater will automatically hold their balance on the edge of the pipe. This will allow players to bust out as many connecting tricks as possible before heading back down the half-pipe.

Always Special: The Special Meter is a meter that rises every time the player performs a number of un interrupted tricks. If the player bails in the middle of a trick, they will lose all of their Special points. This Assist prevents this loss of points from occurring, allowing players to fully take advantage of the bonus points, speed, and Ollie height that is gained from having Special active.

No Bails: This is the ultimate Assist for players who just want to get the hang of everything without failure. This Assist turns off the character’s failure state by preventing the player from ever falling down during tricks. This way, even if the player lands at an awkward angle or pulls a trick too late for it to land properly, they won’t fall but will instead land perfectly, having simply failed to gain points from the trick.

Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1+2 is available on Xbox One, PlayStation 4, and PC.
