~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A mini-Games FAQ for Tony Hakws Pro Skater 4 Playstation 2 version, written by Wayalla (Wayalla1(at)yahoo.com.au) Version 1.0 (last updated Jan. 03) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ LEVEL: College MINIGMAE: Tennis WHERE: Tennis Courts HOW: Hit the ball and score points You play someone called Bjorn. Serve by pressing any button and use the D-Pad to control yourself. Use X to swing back. The closer you are to the ball when you swing, the faster the ball goes. If you notice, he will almost hit the ball back to you every time. The only time you can score points is if you do a fast hit, plus left or right, this will cause it to go to the side very fast and he wont be able to get it. You need to win 4 points before he wins 4 points. Try and avoid slow hits, and always move to where the ball is going to go and try and get a fast hit to win a point. --- LEVEL: College MINIGAME: Garbage days WHERE: In the garbage truck HOW: Go up the ramps and collect the money Hop in the garabage truck, and then the minigame Grabage days will come up. Money will appear on the wires above you. Use the ramps and do vert tricks and get some money. There is like millions of cash actually on the wires, but sadly it only lets you collect a certain amoun tbefore it's says "You have collected all the money available for this minigame," even if there are more cash above you on the wires. You can transfer between the garbage trucks if you want to, but the money can be gotten any way in the amount of time, for example, you could go to the parking garage and jump onto the wires to collect some of the money. --- LEVEL: College MINIGAME: Wire Grinding WHERE: Lip trick transformer box HOW: Grind the electric wires Look away from the colliesium heading up the road. Keep going up and you will reach a sporting good store, just after this on the left will be an opening with a little ramp, lip trick the power box to start the minigame. Don't hold the lip trick for long. You will see that the power lines above you light up and a percentage goes up. Go up tho the car- park, and grind one of those electric wires and try and get the percentage down to 0 in green. Keep grinding the powered ones. Try to stay on the powerlines unless the lines end. I done this by luck, as I accidently fell, and it still counted that i was on the powerline. --- LEVEL: San-fransisco MINIGAME: Save the seals WHERE: Look through viewfinder HOW: Continuously tap the X button Go to the pier to get this one, and you will see two viewfinders. To start the mini-game, head to the viewfinder on the left. The other ones show prisoners in a cell running around, I think that is at alcatraz. Anyway, if you love button bashing, then this is your type of minigame, and game actually. What you have to do is continually tap the X button to help the seals get away from the shark. To do this continuosly press the X button, but don't hold. Keep doing it until you win. You will need to learn button bashing for this, so play some games where you need to do it, this game is an examppe of one actaully, well it hurts my fingers playing this. --- LEVEL: Alcatraz MINIGAME: Baseball WHERE: Little baseball pitch HOW: Hit the ball THe minigame is found on the baseball field near where you get the pro score challenge. Also, it is near that big target range that bag sets up, but he will only be ther if you can complete the dunk 30 tourists objective. All you have to do is hit the ball, sounds simple. Well really it is. Just let the ggghhhhhooooosssstttt pitch the ball and then just time it right and whack the ball back over his head. To score money, the ball must go up in the air and over the wall or whatever. You get $25 per good shot, so this game can keep you entertained for awhile on hand. --- LEVEL: London MINIGAME: Bitch slapping WHERE: Under the bridge HOW: Pick the winner Really, this is a boring minigame, it involves nothing at all as in movement, all you have to do is pick the winner. Yawn. The pimp can be found under the bridge, near the section where you are tought the flatland tricks by the pro skater. Press O next to the pimp to start this. For me, I always bet on the lady on the left. Press left to choose her, or press right to select the other slut. The fight will begin. There really isn't any strategy for this, because the winner is always random. If you win, yay! If you lose, go away and come back. The minigame can be repeated afew times. --- LEVEL: Zoo MINIGAME: Charging rhinos WHERE: Rhino's cage HOW: Pick the winner This can be found in the rhinos cage, it really isn't a cage, it's got a trench thing around the outside which is used as a vert rampp. Go up to the zoo keeper that is by the rhinis. This is once again boring, all you do is pick the winner, nothing to do with using your skateboard or anything like that. All you have to do is pick the winner. Either the left rhini, the right rhino, or both of them to fall down. You have a %33.33 chance of winning. The winner(s) are random, so pick which one you want to. You lose NO money if you don't pick the winner. --- LEVEL: Zoo MINIGAME: Catch the eggs WHERE: Bird avery HOW: Catch the eggs as they fall down The 'How' explains it all. Just simply catch the eggs as they fall down. But really, it isn't that simple, it requires GREAT co-ordination of the eyes. Start the minigame, and then keep your eyes peeled on the screen, do not take them off, if someone offers you 1 million dollars while your playing this, tell them to piss off, this mini-game is more importent. Keep em peeled. When you seem something move on the screen, move your player that way, the bird eggs can drop very quickly, so keep your eyes peeled. Keep moving your player left to right catching the eggs that fall down. --- LEVEL: Zoo MINIGAME: monkey Poo Dodge WHERE: Through door near giraffes HOW: Dodge the monkey poo as they throw it (eww) To find the giraffes cage, it is just neat to the snakc bar, on the opposite side than the rhino and elephant cage. Go through the door. The monkeys through poo mat you, and you simply have to dodge it for 30 seconds. Saty where you are, and when you see a monkey winding up for a shot with there poo, move out the way. Sometimes they wont even throw the poo directly at you, just avoid wherever it is thrown. Only the first monkey will through it at the start, but as time passes on, the second monkey will throw, and then all the monkeys will throw the poo making it harder. --- LEVEL: Carnival MINIGAME: Log Sawing Compeition WHERE: Log sawing place HOW: Saw through the log From the start of the level, head left to where the logs are and speak to the guy. To saw through the law, use left to saw left, and right to saw back right. Get the timing right of when you have made a clean scut, so then you can move the saw back to get a better cut. So press left to move the saw away from you and press right to move it back towards you. When you cut through a log, press the X button to replace it. Keep cutting through all the logs until a note comes up on screen saying that you have either won, or lost. Unfortuantely, there is no money given out for this mini-game. --- LEVEL: Carnival MINIGAME: Target Shooting WHERE: Target side-show HOW: Hit the targets From the strt, head left and hug the wall. Go around to the sideshows and find the shooting one. The target will move by itself, it is just your job to press the right button. When the cross-hair moves over something with a button picture on it, press that button. It's as simple as that to do. Don't waste shots, and try to actually just aim for the one traget and keep waiting until the cursor moves over it. Money ios paid for when you hit the target. But also, stationary targets are less points that moving targets. You get a ranking at the end as well, keep playing it until you can get really good and not miss a shot. ======================================================================= This Document is Copyright Aaron Baker 2003 This Document is Copyright Wayalla 2003 =======================================================================
