History Awesome / TonyHawksProSkater

* The fact that THPS 1+2 was able to WinBackTheCrowd so heavily to the point where some already see it as near perfect or even the best in the series, long after many saw the series as forever dead and mourned its loss. However the game was able to return to form, offer loads of awesome and fun content, recapture what is loved about the games, and introduce so much SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic to get into it's as if the franchise's "death" never happened due to its quality.

* The standout moment for ''THUG'' was when you're doing shots in Hawaii. Find a hotel roof, do some nice tricks, and then the police show up to get you down. What does the protagonist opt to do to ''really'' prove they're the pro skater they aspire to be? ''Trick-jump over an active police chopper from one hotel roof to another.'' The moment's so big that Eric poaches the footage to pretend ''he'' did it, setting off the entire second half of the game until you finally cause him to suffer a VillainousBreakdown by proving (yet again) that you're the better skater, get the real tape back and get to see it redone in full cutscene fashion!

** ''THUG'''s alternate ending. After beating the game once, you get a nice little treat when Eric Sparrow challenges you to win back the tape. Instead of the skate-off, you simply deck the smug bastard, and take the thing.

** ''THUG'''s alternate ending. After beating the game once, you get a nice little treat when [[TheScrappy Eric]] [[{{Jerkass}} Sparrow]] challenges you to win back the tape. Instead of the skate-off, [[CombatPragmatist you simply deck the smug bastard, and take the thing.]]
* Eric Sparrow's entire role in ''[=THUG2=]'' is him being [[ButtMonkey greatly humiliated]], from wetting ''and'' soiling his pants, to crashing into a wiener cart, to being left stranded in Australia and getting crushed under Nigel Beaverhausen's ass. (and, according to the credits, the fall was so immense that he got ''stuck'' up his ass) And you'll love every second of it.

* In ''[=THAW=]'', Mindy suggests that she could help improve the Skate Ranch. Murphy makes a sexist remark ("That's funny, I was just thinking the one thing this place needs is more of Mindy's stuffy bunnies!") Her response? Whacking him with her board, causing him to land in the half-pipe below, and break his leg.

* The finale of ''[=THUG2=]'': First, Bam Margera goes and activates giant fireworks that he's set up around Skatopia, from grinding a firecracker wheel, to playing ''Q-Bert'' with a stack of boxes. Next, Tony Hawk evacuates all of the dogs from the area before the place goes up in flames, while being attacked by that annoying cat. And finally, the player escapes from the burning skate park in a single, non-stop combo. The best part? ''All of this is playable.''
