Version differences
-
TitlePlayStation (EU)
Most of Europe got the game as Tony Hawk's Skateboarding because Activision worried that 'Pro Skater' might suggest ice skating, yet the menu background still says 'Pro Skater'.1
-
AudioPlayStation (EU)
The European soundtrack adds three songs, by Aim, Grand Unified and Aquasky, and drops three by The Vandals, Speedealer and Evenrude.1
-
GameplayPlayStation (JP)
The Japanese version swaps the menu buttons (Circle to confirm, X to go back) and shows the Tony Hawk's Skateboarding logo on the main menu, even though Japan kept the Pro Skater name.1
-
CensorshipNintendo 64
The Nintendo 64 version keeps every mode, skater and level, but shortens the soundtrack, drops the voices and removes the blood to earn an E rating.2
-
GraphicsDreamcast
The Dreamcast version has clearer textures, better animation and a smoother frame rate.2
-
ContentGame Boy ColorN-Gage
The Game Boy Color game is a separate adaptation with overhead and side-on views and fewer tricks, while the N-Gage port adds levels from Pro Skater 2 and Bluetooth multiplayer.2
