Notes

  • There are no FMV's in this build.
  • Instead of unique level loading screens, this build uses the boot loading screen as a placeholder.
  • The main menu uses a different version of the "Gangsta" track.
  • Instead of Rastapopolous, a generic pedestrian appears as the skate shop owner.
  • Only Career, Single Session, Free Skate and Create-A-Skater are selectable.
    • In the main menu, Tutorials is located between Network Play and Create-A-Skater instead of between Park Editor and Options in the final version.
  • The skater select screen in Career mode does not show either the number of goals completed, medals obtained or decks collected.
  • Pressing Square or Circle in the Career mode level select flips the tape over and shows the level goals. A feature that has been removed from the final.
  • Some of the Career goals would be changed and/or simplified in the final version.
  • Some skater's appearances are different from the final.
    • Most notably Geoff Rowley.
    • Some skaters only have default and/or placeholder boards to choose from.
  • A few extra skate brands not featured in the final version appear in this build, including Flip and Vans.
  • There are only four levels in this build: Canada, Suburbia, Los Angeles and Tokyo.
    • A lot of signs in Tokyo are different from the final.
    • The ambience SFX is very unbalanced and can get irritating at times. Also, the sound levels of the audience cannot be changed in the pause menu.
    • The secret area can be accessed by wall riding the big round "門" sign, instead of grind-cutting the wires holding it like in the final.
    • The entrance to that area is untextured.
  • Activating the free camera feature works a bit different in this version. Press both Select + X during gameplay (twice to toggle HUD off). Use R1/R2 for pitch, the left analog stick for axis and the right stick to move around. Unlike the final build, you can actually exit this mode with the same button combination.
  • Pressing R1+SELECT changes the camera perspective, unlike every other version of the game where SELECT alone is sufficient.
  • The physics in this build are less refined.
  • Some runs start with the camera to the right side of the player.
  • The pitch of the special trick orchestral hit sound is a semitone too high. Unlike the final version where it is too low.
  • A lot of the game's sound effects are at inconsistent pitches.
  • A lot of the game's text is written in all caps.
    • Notably the entire Create-A-Skater mode and "Score" in the HUD.
    • The spin counter in the trick string is colored red.
  • Only a bare minimum of the trick assignment option has been implemented.
    • However, all skaters are assigned all special tricks with combinations primarily using the Square button.
