The Mall (also called The Mall) is a Level that first appeared in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. It is the third Level of Career Mode in that game and Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X (In TH1 Career), while it is the fourth Level of Career Mode in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD and the third level of THPS Skate Tour in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2.

It later appears as a Classic Mode Level in Tony Hawk's American Wasteland and the PlayStation Portable version of Tony Hawk's Project 8.

Layout

It is a Level appearing as one singular "path" layout to the end. Spanning several floors, it contains all the spots that is found at a regular mall, such as parking lots, storefronts, fountains and escalators. On the player's way, they will come across sculptures and and railings that can be grinded on for Tricks and unique Gaps.

Breaking the glass door at the end of the Level will end the run instantly in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater. In later appearances starting with Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X, it teleports the Skater back to the start instead.

Secret Areas

The only "secret' in Mall is the small extra room near the fountain. The Player has to break the glass door to access it, then the other wall of the room will disappear.

Differences Between Games

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X

The level retains the same layout, but the lighting is darker alongside some visual changes. The plants have been redone, the "TRASHED RECORDS" signage was recolored from red to white, BEARD'S R US sign was recolored from blue to a multicolor palette and the left "BOOKS" signage was changed to "BEEBS".

Some of the neon signs also no longer have a flicker effect or neon effect, like the EXIT sign at the end of the stage. The banners were changed from "30% SALE" to "58% SALE". The directories were recolored to a purple scheme, and the boxes at the end now advertise Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer.

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland

The Mall is different from its last appearance in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2X. Visually, the entrance now has "PARKING LEVEL 1" in front of it, the banners now have a Nokia sponsor and some of the store signages were changed. The left grind rail area near the banners had the tropical area removed, the orange car on the right side near the elevated rails was changed to a white SUV and the directories now have unique color schemes.

A grind rail has been added to the beginning, and additional closed-off store can be skated through as an extra area on the right side.

A set of buildings with flags and trees have been added to outside the Mall near the end. The boxes at the end now advertise Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, a homage to the level's first appearance in that game.

Tony Hawk's Project 8

The Mall is based on it's appearance from Tony Hawk's American Wasteland, except with a few visual changes; some of the sponsors were changed and the banners at the fountain sculpture were removed. The water can now be skated on.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD

The Mall is redesigned, looking fancier and built with newer architecture in mind, complete with a "grand re-opening" sign at the entrance. The glass doors in the entrance can only be broken singularly, the area surrounding the sculpture has less water and the boxes at the end were completely removed.

Visually, the signage was completely changed, where Zumiez remains as the only storefront, the banners were changed to smaller, singular variants, the directories were recolored to a clear white and the orange car was changed to a newer model hatchback. The time of day was also changed to nighttime.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2

The Mall, basing its appearance from Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, now appears dilapidated and abandoned, complete with weeds growing around the place, graffiti, much of the signage removed, lit flares on the floor and some structures slightly ruined, implying that some unknown disaster happened in the area, or that the mall has simply been closed down and converted into a homeless shelter, or it can be because the idea of an abandoned mall was planned in the first game but the video game engine at the time would not allow such detail.

The banners now read "90% OFF", the car was changed to a newer model, albeit destroyed and there are no longer watered areas. The outdoor area was changed to an indoor food court, and just like in Pro Skater HD, the level is set at night.

Trivia

• In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, the boxes at the end of the level in the PlayStation and Dreamcast version are advertising the game Apocalypse, another game developed by Neversoft and whose engine served as the foundation for Pro Skater, but in the N64 version they advertise Edge Of Reality, who developed the Nintendo 64 port.
  • If the Nintendo 64 Expansion Pak is used, the back has a picture of a mysterious female.
• There is a store called "BEARDS R US", a parody of Toys 'R Us.
• In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, there is a texture that resembles the avatar of the YouTuber Oddheader hidden among a window that can only be seen by noclipping through it. Oddheader is best known as an easter egg hunter, and, after releasing a video detailing secrets in the series, collaborated with former series developer Ralph D'Amato to elaborate on many of the series' easter eggs and secrets.
• In the Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2 version of the level, one the graffiti can be found in the 2009 game Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2
