Unlimited supply:
After you find Voltraman, press Square and he will throw electric balls. It takes a while for them to disappear.

Atlanta: SPAT logo:
To get at SPAT logo in the glass building near the fountain and the globe, you first need to complete the Golden Light goal to light your board, then the Smoke on the Water Goal to destroy the fountain structure. The fountain structure will then knock over the globe, which in turn will destroy the building with the SPAT logo.

Barcelona: Set yourself on fire:
Get some tomatoes. Find a boy throwing tomatoes at a caged bull. Join in and throw all your tomatoes. The bull will be set free. It will rampage around and hit a car. Ride over the car and you should be on fire.

Berlin: Easy points:
Go down the stairs, then past the cop in front of the door. Then go through that door and you will be on the roof. Walk into the air conditioning unit and it will break. Then, walk over the sparks on the ground where it was. You should get 1,000 points each time. This is helpful for getting the scoring goals completed in Classic mode.

Boston: Star Wars kid:
From the starting point, turn right and go to the apartments just before the construction site. Using the quarter pipe on the left side, jump through the window into the room above and you will see the Star Wars kid and can have him show you his moves. Press Circle to start and stop his moves.

Boston: Sheep dance:
Go to where the Star Wars kid is found. Go in the other apartment next to it to find someone dancing in front of a sheep.

Kyoto: Summon MegaBeast Zero goal:
For the goals "Destroy the Mini-Beasts" and "Dragon Needs a Pedicure," you need to first complete the "Summon MegaBeast Zero" goal by Sticker Slapping the air horns. This is easier if you grind the blue awning on the side of the building across from the horns. This will lead you to a wire which leads to the bottom horn and you can work up from there.

Las Vegas: Fall into the aquarium:
Go on the aquarium elevator. Start jumping up and down without your skateboard when the elevator is starting to go up. You should fall into the aquarium. To get out, walk through the glass holding the fish in the aquarium.

Las Vegas: Super jump:
Go to the waterfall on the second story. You will find that the waterfall goes down into the bowl and up the other side. If you stand next to the water going up, run, then jump while the water is pushing you up, you will perform a super jump. This is useful for getting up to the pools if you have just fallen off the edge.

Skatopia: Hidden message:
In Story mode, when you get to Skatopia and do the Arcade Game High Score Goal, look at the initials that were already put in to find a hidden message. It should look like this: ten har dco rey ear ski cki ngy our ass, which translates into "ten hardcore years kicking your ass".

Easy points:
Find an oval or circular quarter pipe to lip. Press Triangle to lip, then focus and try not to fall by doing a combo with Square, Triangle and Circle. If done correctly, you will earn about 200,000 points.

Combo and high score objectives:
For the combo and high score objectives, do a long manual. While in the manual, press Square, Triangle, or Circle to do other types of manuals to add in your combo.

Control camera:
When skating, use the Analog-stick to move the camera. Note: Moving it when you are not on the skateboard will make you walk or run.

Run:
When you are not on the skateboard, hold X to run.

Focused:
In order to get "Focused", fill your special meter then tap the Analog-stick Back. The game will go into slow motion, allowing you to "focus" better on the move that you want to do, hence the name. It will also allow you to balance better during grinds and manuals.

Easier running:
When not on the skateboard, use the Analog-stick to run (not holding X). You will run faster by using the Analog-stick.

Freak out:
When you wipeout and you can freak out press Up and Down repeatedly.

Fast custom character:
Create a character any way desired, then select the "Scale" option. Set it so that all the bars are at the left end. He or she will be small, but fast. Then, play in Classic mode and get the THPS Coins to raise your speed to the maximum.
