Conquering the Concrete Jungle: A Totally Tubular Guide to Snagging those 5 Subway Cards in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2
So you wanna shred the gnarly streets of New York City in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, but those pesky subway cards are standing between you and pure skating bliss? Fear not, fellow shredder! This guide will turn you from a clueless tourist to a subway card collecting champion, faster than you can say "kickflip."
Gnarly Grinds and Hidden Treasures: Locating the Subway Card Quintet
There be five subway cards scattered throughout the concrete jungle, each one a test of your skating skills and a chance to rack up some serious points (because hey, why not look good while you're collecting, right?).
- Card #1: The Ramp Jam - This bad boy is chill. Just cruise up the quarterpipe near the start and grab it mid-air. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
- Card #2: The Boneless Bonanza - This one requires a little more finesse. Hit the same ramp as Card #1, but this time, bust out a boneless grab to snag it. Don't worry, even if you land a little wonky, you'll probably still get it.
- Card #3: The Neighbourly Neighbor - Right next to Card #2, this card is practically begging to be collected. No fancy tricks needed, just cruise by and grab it.
- Card #4: The Stealthy Sneak - This card likes to play hide-and-seek. Head towards the area with the big fountain and grind the ledge that runs alongside it. You'll see the card peeking out, ready to be yours.
- Card #5: The Wallplant Wonder - Ah, the final card. This one requires some serious wallplant skills. Grind up the small ramp near the lake, then wallplant off it to snag the card. Just remember, practice makes perfect (and avoids faceplanting).
Pro Tip: If you're struggling with any of these grabs, don't be afraid to slow down the time! There's no shame in a little time-warping to ensure that perfect collection.
The Rewards Await, Dude!
Once you've snagged all five subway cards, prepare to be rewarded! Not only will you unlock the oh-so-satisfying "challenge complete" notification, but you'll also gain access to a secret area: the Underground! This hidden gem boasts some sweet lines and gnarly ramps, perfect for shredding to your heart's content.
So there you have it, my friends. With a little determination and a sprinkle of this guide's wisdom, you'll be collecting those subway cards like a pro and dominating the streets of New York City. Now get out there, shred hard, and remember: falling is just part of the learning process (unless you fall face-first into a hot dog stand, that's just embarrassing).
