An NTSC-U preview of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 for the Sony PlayStation, built 32 days before the first available final.

Notes

  • There are no FMVs in this build.
  • Though being built after the Mat Hoffman's Pro BMX demo used in the final game, this build lacks it.
  • Instead of beating the game a certain number of times, the hidden characters and levels can only be accessed via cheat code³.
  • You can create five instead of four custom skaters in this build.
  • The level select uses the video previews created for the E3 demo.
  • A few levels are in a slightly buggy state.
    • Even when the helicopter has taken off in Hangar, sometimes the player would bump against some invisible collision data.
    • School II has a bad case of texture bleeding, and trying to enter the gym from the Gonz rail entrance after leaving from the other door, causes the inside not to load.
    • Right when starting the Hawaii level, most of the time the player either falls just slightly behind the roll into the water or immediately struggles with the impending Big Drop.
  • Some sounds in the game haven't undergone leveling yet, so they may appear much louder than others.
    • Also, the internal sound engine only outputs the left channel of the XA track, albeit it being stereo in the actual file on the disc.
  • An unedited version of "Subculture" by Styles of Beyond is used in this build. The final game cuts the organ-only intro. A fact worthy of mention, since this song has never been commercially released on CD.
  • A few objects in the Park Editor would later be changed, renamed or removed from the final.
    • Some pre-built custom parks are simply named "Aaron" and "Blank".
  • Many object goals have different placements.
  • This build has an early version of the game credits intact. Viewing them causes the game to lock you inside the options menu and render any attempt at exiting it impossible.

Cheat codes

In addition to having an extra set of debug cheats enabled, most of the codes used in this build have slightly different inputs than the final game. Other than adding a few new ones, the debug codes either match the ones used in earlier builds or have been slightly altered.

To enter these codes, either navigate to the in-game pause or main menu, hold down L1 and enter the code. A shaking pause screen/rotating wheel will confirm a successful entry.
