Secret Areas[]
There is a secret ship area that can be unlocked by grinding a pirate flag. A crab near the broken building on the shore will hide if the skater scares it. There are fishes and shark underwater, but normally the player can't see it, because the water is not transparent.
In Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, the pirate ship is open and available from the start. There is also a new underwater section that has been added, which can be accessed by jumping right into the life ring from the mast of the pirate ship. The area simply consists of several ramps from a sunken pirate ship, and the other side cannot be reached even with maximum skills. Bailing sends the player back to the pirate ship on the surface.
Exclusively in the Deluxe Edition, the area is slightly rethemed to be Conch Street, Bikini Bottom from SpongeBob SquarePants, with the addition of a voice timecard and the houses of SpongeBob, Patrick and Squidward in the distance.
Differences Between Games[]
Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 (5th gen)[]
This version of the game doesn't have the pirate ship, it has its own secret area outside. You can notice there is grass and trees which doesn't correspond the rocky shore setting of the next-gen version.
Origin[]
Skater Island is based on real world skatepark Skater Island, located in Rhode Island. It was destroyed by a roof collapse in May 2004.
Trivia[]
- The Cruise Ship can be seen in the distance.
- The ramp roll-in gap is called "Aaron C. Roll-In of Death Gap" which is a reference to the Aaron Cammarata's face plant in the ramp seen in "Neversoft Bails" video.
- Some of the gaps in the next-gen port of Skater Island, such as the South Amboy, NJ Gap and the Dancin' on the Tables Transfer, are references to the movie Coyote Ugly.
