Awesome / Tony Hawk's Pro Skater

---

• 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 have a Villainous Breakdown 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 tape.
• Eric Sparrow's entire role in THUG2 is him being 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.
• 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.
• In THAW, Mindy suggests that she could help improve the Skate Ranch. Murphy makes a sexist remark. Her response? Whacking him with her board, causing him to land in the half-pipe below, and break his leg.
