Trivia

• A photo of Tony Hawk can be seen in place of mayor John Collins on the City Hall.
• If the player sets their board on fire and grinds the two cannons, a cutscene will play of the two cannons firing at the construction site directly in front of it, thus destroying the site.
• If the player turns right at the start, and right again, they will find two apartment buildings. In one is a geeky kid who dances (reference to the "Star Wars Kid" viral video from 2002). In the other one, the player will find a man dancing in front of a goat.
• If the player sticker slaps the ATM near the Riboff Bank, a whole load of money will pour out of the ATM.
• If the player sticker slaps the Port-a-Potty next to the Tea Party Boat, the Port-a-Potty will fall over exposing human excretions.
• Posters in the library: "Reading cures insomnia", "Don't read a book, go play video game"
• On the back side of the church building there is a banner that says "What's missing in CH__CH? UR", wordplay for "you are"
• Government center train station is closed by police.
• Spraying over the Jeers sign before exiting the level in story mode will result in unique dialogue during the ensuing cutscene; the narrator will replace "Jeers" with "THUG".

Early content

• According to screenshots the player would have been able to play as Tony Hawk during this period of the game; this was changed for unknown reasons.
• In the Beta version the Purple car from Hawaii was supposed to appear in traffic here but was removed for unknown reasons.
• The Graffiti tag on the billboard looked MUCH different in the beta version.
• The Blue B.B van from Australia originally spawned here but was cut for unknown reasons. (It was more than likely for continuity.)
