Introduction thps2_1000 ============================================================================= This is the first walkthrough that I have ever written. I chose to create a cash guide for the Game Boy Advance version of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 because I found that collecting cash is quite annoying. When making this guide, I realized it is difficult to describe the locations of cash in this game. Please keep these few things in mind when reading this FAQ. When it is stated that cash is located above something (quarter pipe, ramp, rail, etc.) it means that you must jump or ollie to get the item. When describing locations to direct your skater, I do so based on the gamer's perspective (not the skater's). Also, you must keep in mind that Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 has a 3/4 overhead perspective and the courses are displayed at a 45° angle not a 0° angle. For example, when cash is located to the right of something it is actually located right + 45° of something. If you still don't understand: ---------------> (Right) /\ Approximately right + 45° (ASCII art has its limitations) / / / / / / The same 45° addition applies for all directions. If you still don't understand, get a compass. Or look at this ASCII one: North (normal top) | (top + 45°) Northwest | Northeast (right + 45°) \ | / \|/ West -------------|-------------- East (normal right) (normal left) /|\ / | \ Southwest | Southeast (bottom + 45°) (left + 45°) | South (normal bottom) This guide uses a "code location" system. This means that there are special key codes throughout this guide that can be used to navigate through the large amount of text quickly. The key code numbers for a desired section of this guide are located in the Table of Contents. To jump to an area of the guide quickly, simply use the find command (usually Ctrl + F) in Notepad or your web browser and enter thps2_#### (where #### is the location code). I did not invent this idea; it has been used on many other text-based gaming guides before. ============================================================================= 2. Cash Guide thps2_2000 ============================================================================= ------------- a. The Hanger thps2_2001 ------------- There are eight bills in this level. Pink bills are worth $100 of extra money and blue bills are worth $50. $550 can be acquired in this level by collecting bills. $50 Located above the vertical barrier at the top of the level. Ollie up the quarter pipe beside the wall at an angle to get the bill. $50 Located above the grind rail to the left of the airplane. Grind the rail and jump just before you are underneath it. $50 Above the wooden kicker ramp to the north of the helicopter. Ollie off the kicker ramp or grind the helicopter propeller that goes in an up-down direction to get the bill. $50 Above the rail that is connected to the two wooden kicker ramps beside the helicopter. Grind the helicopter propeller that goes in a left right. $50 Above the half pipe to the right of the starting point. To get this bill, ollie over the half pipe close to the propeller. $100 Located above the highest rail at the right side of the course. This is one of the more challenging bills to get in the level. Skate up the quarter pipe at the top of the level with a lot of speed and grind the highest rail. When grinding wait until you are underneath the bill, then ollie into the bill. $100 Located above quarter pipe at the bottom left corner of the course. Ollie up the quarter pipe underneath the bill with decent speed to get the money. $100 Above the highest grind rail on the left side of the course. Without a doubt, this is the hardest bill to collect in the level. To get it, you must ollie up the quarter pipe at the top of the level with maximum speed, and then grind on the rail once you reach it. When you are grinding, ollie once you get underneath the bill. Acquiring this bill will be frustrating. I recommend that you upgrade your character's statistics so that air has a value of 9, ollie has a value of 8 and speed has a value of 7. ---------------- b. The School II thps2_2002 ---------------- There are eight bills in this level. Pink bills are worth $100 of extra money and blue bills are worth $50. $550 can be acquired in this level by collecting bills. To complete the 100% goals and cash goal you must complete every goal and collect all the cash. $50 Located above the quarter pipe that is right of the starting point. $50 Located above a rail in the raised courtyard. Jump to get the money. $50 Located beside the building where letter "A" is located. To get the bill, you must get on top of the building, by jumping from the wooden ramp on the raised courtyard. Once on top of the building, you must skate to the bottom right corner of the rooftop, then jump to the bill. $50 Located near the starting point left of the tall fence. To get this bill you must skate up the ramp that is beside the large staircase. Once you are close to the platform that is beyond the fence, ollie on to the platform. On the platform there are two air conditioner ramps. The bill is located between them. Ollie up one of the ramps to get the bill. $50 Located in the secret poolroom. To access the poolroom, you must perform the Open Sez TC rail call. The entrance to the poolroom is at the three blue doors (were you find a hall pass). The $50 bill is located on the left side of the poolroom. To get the bill, ollie up the center of the left side of the pool. $100 Located in the bottom left corner of the level (inside the enclosed area with the secret tape). To get the bill, ollie up the ramp in the corner of the level. $100 Located above the two wooden quarter pipes where you find a hall pass. It is very difficult to acquire. From the starting point, skate to location of the school bell that is closest to the starting point. You will see a platform on the right side (beyond the rail were you would get leap of faith points). Ollie to that platform and stay on it. You will come to a jump. Ollie over the gap (performing a boneless will help you get over the gap or you could wallride the gap too). Once you land on the other side, continue staying on the platform. Turn right at the corner. Continue staying on the platform. You will come to another ramp. To get the bill do not ollie over the ramp simply skate over it to get the bill. $100 Located in the secret poolroom. To access the poolroom, you must perform the Open Sez TC rail call. The entrance to the poolroom is at the three blue doors (were you find hall pass #3). The $100 bill is located on the right side of the poolroom.

Some people may have trouble acquiring this bill. This bill is a little hard to get because you cannot view its shadow. The bill is located beside the leftmost wall. To get the bill, perform a wallride and wallie (ollie off the wall) once you are under the bill. There is another method to getting this bill. You can ollie off the small wooden ramp that is closest to the quarter pipe at the top of the level. You must have a lot of speed to get the bill. Thanks to Marlfox for the tip. $50 Located above the quarter pipe on the left side of the level. The bill is roughly located half way between the lip of the tongue-shaped platform and the leftmost side of the level. Ollie up the quarter pipe with some speed to get the bill. $50 Located above the rail in the center of the level (where you had to perform the 5-0 grind). Grind the rail and ollie once you are underneath the bill. $50 Located above the asphalt ramp near the starting point. Ollie off the ramp near the bill to get it. Another method is to ollie off the quarter pipes to the side of the bill on an angle. $50 Located above the grind rail on the right side of the level (near the half pipe).
