Beating EVERY N64 Game - Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 (127/394) 

PLAY THE THPS 1+2 REMAKE!!!

You know what's sad about watching this series? When the video is over and I have to wait a whole week for the next episode. 😢 Best series on TV or the internet!

Nicee. I used to play gtr in a “Tony Hawk Pro Skater” cover band, where we only played songs from the soundtrack, specifically THPS 1 & 2. These song were all etched into our heads from playing the games so much as kids haha

4:25 Ah yes, my favorite person/place, Marcel France.

The mighty THPS2. Oh yes. The only game I've done an all nighter with. High 5 to all those who lived inside this game for a portion of their lives.

This series and Crazy Taxi had a long lasting effect on my music tastes

3:55 I usually just do the jump from the kicker at the end of the raised pad. It's.way easier than trying the wall ride

Fun fact: The bull arena was actually build for a skateboard video by a skate company. Tony Hawk (or was it Danny Way?) actually dropped into the ramp out of the helicopter. Tony Hawk even did the looping. The video is called "The End" by Birdhouse.

The secret doors was an awesome feature because they were connected to the gap system. If you looked at the list of all gaps they all had specific names that would clue you in as to where they might be or hint that it will open a secret door. It made exploring every ledge and ramp in the game fun. This is a game worth trying to 100% especially with all the cheats and characters you can unlock!

Fun fact, the "Leap Of Faith" gap in level 2 is a real gap that Jamie Thomas and someone else both attempted and there's a mini docu about how impossible the leap of faith is and how it's now blocked off so no one can try it again.

Back in the day me and my brothers used to settle who sat in the front seat next to our mom in the car by having a score match on Tony hawk! Memory's man!

This was peak Tony Hawk. Spent thousands of hours playing this on PS1.

The impact this game had on my life is insane when I think about it.

It is just perfect how they translated the PS controls to the N64. D-Pad to D-Pad and Facebuttons just to all C Buttons in the right order, perfect, so C down is X/Ollie, C left is Square/Flip, C right is Circle/Grab and C up is Triangle/Grind

You definitely were allowed to use the control stick in THPS 1. That might've been an issue with your emulation. I didn't know I could use the D-Pad until my cousin showed me like a year after I'd been playing the game as a kid.

5:25 Fuckin' Pace salsa reference. 😂 That line from the commercial became a running joke among a bunch of people when I was in rehab for some reason. Any time NYC was mentioned, we'd all shout "nEw YoRk cItY!?!?!" in unison.

*Iconic Tony Hawk SPECIAL noise*

From nyc. LoL at the phrase "road taxi" it was like hearing my grandpa say the words "blue jeans" or "autobus". Shoutout to the soundtrack for "May 16" that song changed my life!

Uh, it's weird seeing actual landmarks I know in a video game. Neat. They really did their research when making these maps.

I remember how hyped I was when this actually dropped on the N64, I didn’t have a PlayStation when it first came out so I had to wait, but it was well worth it. Another banger video beast! Keep it up!

Best soundtrack in the series! Am i biased because this was my only Tony Hawk game as a kid and teen? Probably BUT POWERMAN5000 LETS GOOOO

I appreciate you so much including the music in the background despite the threat of a copyright claim.

The lip tricks are done by pressing Up+Grind. Not just the grind button.

This was the first game I got with my Dreamcast. That was the very first game I ever became obsessed with.

The glitch on the side is actually the video output I think. You don't see it on a CRT because of overscan. If you emulate the game, it is still present afaik

The PACE salsa ad reference is perfect. It was probably on tv when this game came out!

The taxis run you over just like in real life. I legit bursted out laughing

Whoa what, I've never wall rided to get the tape in School, You can do a boneless off the tiny ramp on the other side of that wall and it gives you just enough height to hit the flagpoles and grind down them. Neat to see other ways to do stuff.

Bro that New York City Salsa joke is such a deep cut LOL I didn't think I'd ever hear that again

My music taste has been shaped so much by this game, THUG and Guitar Hero 3. This game was definitely my introduction into punk, hardcore, metal and hip hop. So many bangers from anthrax, papa roach and rage against the machine. The remake has some bangers in it too.

I loved the pace reference. I forgot all about that

I initially started watching this channel because I wanted to get back into playing Yugioh, but I quickly realized that the game has evolved into something that I have absolutely zero interest in playing. My complaints are the same as most people: cards have an unnecessarily excessive amount of text, turns take far too long, games don't last more than a few turns, and it is extremely difficult to keep track of the game state at times. I switched to MTG and had a MUCH easier time picking up and playing the game. I've spent several hundred dollars on MTG cards since I started earlier this year and I would have spent that money on Yugioh if it had been accessible and fun. Instead I'm playing MTG and I get my Yugioh fix from watching you guys!

As someone from NY, I can confirm, those cabs are accurate

Conker’s Bad Fur day was my absolute favorite as a kid. Hope to see a video on it 👍

NYC salsa. 😂 best line in the vid. 90’s commercial throwback.

I just found my old TH2 game for 64. I think I'm going to have to play it now!

Beating EVERY ORIGINAL XBOX Game - Need for Speed Underground 2 and Deathrow. I can't wait till you get to that. Great replay! Keep em comin!

Can just hear bits of the epic soundtrack. What a tease!

Pace Picante sauce reference?! Nice! 😎

9:27, the easiest way of setting up a lip trick is to not hold an ollie at the lip.

Oh my God, is that guerilla radio and the hangar? Nostalgia 1:00

5:27 is that New York salsa comment a reference to the Pace Salsa commercials from the 90s?

There's a lot of games where I think the sequel is the best entry in the series. The Devs take a great first entry in the series and just make a few necessary changes to improve the game. THPS2 definitely fits that mold.

Lmao at the Pace Picante salsa reference. I wonder how many people remember those commercials

The music or OST of this game brings back memories. Wish I skateboarded as a kid

Can't say I've been this early for your series but for THPS2....I can and will be this early

the jetpack cheat i learned in 4th grade is burned into my mind forever. up up up up x square up up up up x square up up up up.

Correction, the N64 version of Tony Hawk's 2 was developed by Edge of Reality, not Neversoft, though they made the original on PSOne of course.

Me as a kid: "Mom, can I rent a game? Tony Hawk's Pro Skater." Mom: "Toby Hopp's Probe Skater???"

I respect the New York City salsa joke. great video

I swear the ny city level was called “the big apple.” Mandela effect

Beating every goal in the hanger in one go is so fun

"The taxis run you over just like in real life." haha

I always grinded up the powerline from the fountain up to that roof in Philadelphia. I didn't even know you could ramp up!

I have been wondering what The Venice Ledge was for over 20 years

Thanks for leaving the music in.

Lotta good memories to this game and the soundtrack

That wheel menu sound fx is my childhood

The bit on New York that is meant to be somewhat accurate is the NY banks which was a very famous and poplular skatespot

Wait, this guy said that Goldeneye was going to be played soon. And Ocarina of time, and others. WHERE ARE THEY?!? I DON'T SEE THEM HERE! Rumor has it he's about to play Super Smash Bros but is withholding the video from us for a YEAR!

I played vastly more THPS2 (but on PS1) than THPS1 but I was "beating the game as quick as I can" long before I found speedruns. I remember the first level I really tried to beat in one session was School II, and I can't remember if I could get all of the checklist, but at least most of it. the hardest was hitting the 5 bells with wallrides.

I hope everyone is having a great Friday!

4:25 lol its actually pronounced "MAAR-SAY" and the only reason i bring this up is that we have a town named Marseilles near where i live and all they pronounce it "MAAR-SALES". enjoy that useless trivia everyone.

The absolute best experience for THPS2 is ether the Dreamcast version or THPS2X which was for the original Xbox (but can be played on 360) and gave you all of 1 and 2’s levels to play with some minor graphical and quality of life improvements

One of the best tony hawk games!!

I have played just about every Tony Hawk game and I remember the people driving cars were just out for blood in the early pro skater games.

*"Bring the Noise" by Anthrax and Public Enemy

THPS 1 2 and undergrou mnd were all amazing games. Oof the nostalgia

THPS2 is the first game I ever completed 100%. All gaps and everything.

Nobody: Me like I'm singing along to a song: "I'm beating EVERY n64 game"

10:00 this bluntslide SUCKED I remember renting the game from blockbuster and having NO IDEA how to do it. You only had so much time before you had to return the game and wanted to get everything out of it in such a small window, kids these days have it to easy 😫

Marcel , France… lol love ya thab!

Only 70 more games and we'll be halfway complete!

I 100% this game, even got all the gaps. Let me tell you, there's one in Skatestreet thattook me days if not weeks. I think it's called "nail the gap", you gotta jump off a pool into a parallel railing that's too far away. F that gap.

In the School II level I always went on the right side to wallride to get to the secret area, it seemed so much easier for me

For any non French speakers wondering how to pronounce "Marseille", you say it like "mar-say".

I played the original back in the day and the remakes. The remakes are a piece of art. Do yourself a favor and play the remake (if you already haven't).

Right right! Spiderman is playable here because Neversoft and Activision also did the excellent Spiderman for N64 and PSX. I wonder when will Thab get to play that one for this series!

Best Tony Hawk experience. I had it on the PS1 and Dreamcast. Best soundtrack too!

I only ever played the first tony hawk on n64. I had this one on the GBA which was pretty impressive for the time as it was a launch title!

Best series on RU-vid

the soundtrack for this game SLAPS

I wish they would make a game that links all old video games and allows you to play as any character from them

I'm surprised you used the uncensored version of Guerrilla Radio. Although I imagine it would be hard to find a censored version

Loved these games so much! Feel free to leave more gameplay in the vids, I will watch these no matter the length of video!

3:10 I got you fam, Keep up the great work!

I swear there was a balance meter in THPS2 for playstation.... but it may just be a mandela effect.

that old school Pace Picante reference 💯👌🏼😂

I had this game as a kid but I wasn't good enough to get past the third level so I never saw the levels after that.

It’s funny - my memories of THPS2 I’m realizing are actually THPS3 😂 oh well.

Skate or Die was an old skateboarding game (never played it myself).

you just hold up and the grind button for the lip

I played the crap out of this game in high school. But I had it on the PlayStation. Once I beat it, I would just use the game as a wind down before I went to bed while listening to Loveline on the radio.

I understand that everyone says that the Playstation version is the best because it was the first contact with the game of most people. But I guarantee that the best version is the Dreamcast port

The remakes are amazing but theres something to be said about the original, especially the n64 version, the old game engine runs slower (especially the pal version) and it is much more challenging, in a good way!

Pace picante salsa reference. Nice 😎

Fuck yes, THPS2! I beat these levels so many times across so many platforms (My N64, a friend’s Dreamcast, THPS2x on the OG Xbox, THPS HD on 360, and the 1+2 remake on PS4). It’s such a great game, only topped by THPS3.

my Friday ritual, thank you Thab East

Pausing the video a few seconds in just to breathe. The hype is real. This was my #1 played game on DreamCast and I loved it so much. I hope the N64 version does it justice.... Now back to the video. :)

Hands down the best series on youtube!!!
