Notes

  • An NTSC-U demo created for and used at E3 2000 and sent to press outlets as a preview version.
  • The "Options" menu hasn't been implemented yet, it redirects to the Skateshop.
    • Most decks are not available yet.
  • Create-A-Skater, though mostly complete, is a bit buggy.
    • Often the weight reverts back to 180 pounds when the skaters skin color or some clothing is changed.
    • The given name of the skater, would default to "Custom Skater" in the Level Select and competition heat score screens.
    • While the Career progress can be saved onto a memory card, the customized skater can not. Once the game is restarted and a save file loaded, the skater reverts to his default style.
  • Cash pick-ups as well as some Career mode goal objects can be collected in the other game modes as well.
  • In similar fashion to the previous Pro Skater installment, obtaining cash pick-ups count as points.
  • The trick assignment option has not been implemented at this point in development.
  • None of the game's secret characters can be found in this build.
  • Some levels are not finalized, most notably Hangar, Venice Beach, The Bullring and Skate Heaven, with varying degrees of untextured or unfinished spots.
    • 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.
    • If you select the 2-player restart in Venice Beach you get a very early version of it that is so big, it will crash when you get to some areas.
    • A 100-point pick-up can be found in one of the outside areas in Skatestreet. Originating in the first Pro Skater game, this is a leftover from earlier versions of THPS2 before the cash pick-ups were introduced to replace them.
    • There's a small passage above the pit in New York, that connects both streets.
    • Chopper Drop, Skate Heaven and all THPS levels in the game files can only be accessed via hacking. None of them have pages in the level select menu.
    • The level select menu has an unused page for the Park Editor level called "Demo Park".
  • Hold down L1+L2 in any menu to open a hidden debug feature, where you can move around separate menu elements.
  • All numbers and symbols in the trick string are yellow. Therefor any blue-colored gap names would color these green.
  • The physics are not refined yet. Especially the newly introduced game mechanics.
    • The skater loses his manual balance much faster in this version.
