Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater series games are well-known for featuring hidden secret areas that players can discover across various unique maps, and Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 follows this trend closely. Typically, these “secret areas” are not as elusive as their name suggests; with some exploration of the map, players can easily stumble upon them during regular gameplay, especially if they remain observant. However, a select few secret areas are genuinely hidden and will require in-depth knowledge of the map to unlock, unless players accidentally discover them while skating around.

One particularly intriguing secret area is found in the classic map from the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3, set in Tokyo. Players familiar with the original Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 will likely recall this secret area, although they may not remember the specific steps required to unlock it. For those who have never played the original, it’s likely this hidden area would go unnoticed. Unlocking it is well worth the effort, as this location serves as a competition park with some of the best spots for chaining together combos and achieving high scores, ultimately leading to the coveted Gold and Platinum awards once the Pro Goals have been unlocked.

Discovering the Location of Tokyo’s Hidden Secret Area in THPS 3+4

Unlock a Secret Area in Tokyo by Interacting with the Giant Neon Skater Sign

In Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4, the Tokyo park is relatively small but densely packed with exciting content, making it easy to overlook certain features if you don’t know where to search. One of the most notable aspects is the secret area, which can be quite challenging to unlock. Furthermore, players should keep an eye out for the Iron Galaxy Logo and other collectibles that are hidden in obscure and hard-to-reach locations throughout the map. The secret area is cleverly concealed behind the giant neon skater sign positioned in the center of the map, and accessing it requires executing a somewhat complicated trick.

When you start in the Tokyo area, you will notice a massive glowing sign featuring a skater, located centrally to your left. While it’s initially possible to jump up to this sign, there isn’t much to see unless you have previously unlocked the secret area. To gain access, you’ll need to perform a precise series of grinds to knock down the neon sign and create an opening in the wall behind it.

Step-by-Step Process to Unlock the Secret Area in Tokyo

Master the Technique: Grind Up to the Sign Using Wires and Building Ledges

To successfully unlock the secret area in Tokyo, you’ll need to execute a sequence of challenging grinds. Begin by performing a boneless on the neon ramp adjacent to the starting point, then grind the rail that connects to the wire with the hanging lights. Grind along the lights until you reach the first green neon marquee sign. After reaching this point, you will need to perform a wall grind and transition to the ledge that supports the main skater sign. Upon impact, the wires securing the sign will snap, causing it to fall backward and break a hole in the wall behind it, granting you access to the hidden area.

With the secret area now accessible, you can skate through the newly opened wall and explore this exciting location. This hidden area offers far superior opportunities for performing combos, allowing you to string together moves that can lead to significantly higher scores compared to those achievable in the main section of the map. The area is filled with numerous excellent gaps that make it easy to transfer back and forth, making it the optimal spot for aiming for the Platinum trophy once you have completed the Pro Goals in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4.
