Marseille

Marseille level render

Marseille was initially featured as the first competition level in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2. It returned in the classic mode of Tony Hawk's American Wasteland exclusively for the collector's edition of the game on the PS2. Later, it was ported to Tony Hawk's Project 8 as a free skate level on the PSP version only. Most recently, it was brought back in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater HD.

Origin

This level is based on the real life skate park located in the city of Marseille, France.

Trivia

• Marseille was the only level available in public demo.
• In order to access the hidden area,the player has to break the wooden plank holding up the post inside the planter.
• In early games that featured Marseille as a playable level, you weren't allowed to jump over the fence.
• There is unique police car driving around the streets in Marseille.
• Marseille was the first level in the series to be located outside of the United States.
• Marseille PA announcer only has a single phrase at the beginning of the competition. At the time of development, it was planned to add more announcer reactions. Three additional phrases can be found in game's audio files.
• In other ports of Pro Skater 2, the fountain in the secret area isn't shown with a geyser (implying it's not operational), but in Pro Skater 2X, the fountain is operational.
• Caricatures of former President and First Lady of the United States Bill & Hillary Clinton appear as graffiti within the level. Their depiction in the level is never explained, though it's possibly just another example of the Clinton's, particularly Bill, being the subjects of comedy and various parodies at their expense during their time in the White House.
