Tony Hawk's Underground (PlayStation 2, Xbox, GameCube, Windows)

Prototype Info Prerelease Info Debug Options"You cheat like Kurt." Unused LevelsLocations that were buried even deeper than the Underground. Platform DifferencesWhat flavor of Hawk did each platform get? Pro Skater 4 LeftoversUnderground kept more of Pro Skater than you'd initially think. Gunslinger & West Side RemnantsThere's gold in them thar hills.

Unused Graphics#

THPS3 Leftovers#

Once again, the same gag and mock-up images from THPS3 remain in the files, albeit only in the PlayStation 2 version and some of them are removed. None of the future Tony Hawk games include any of these images but they do appear again in MTX Mototrax.

Mock Loading Screen#

The file loadscrn_Kona.img, which one would assume is another Pro Skater 4 leftover, actually appears to be some sort of joke image.

Xbox Icons#

Each icon used for saves in the Xbox dashboard exists in the 'images/Miscellaneous' folder tree of the PlayStation 2 version. A unique icon for saved Replay Data also exists, though as THUG dropped the Replay feature entirely, this goes unused.

Create A Trick#

UI elements for the Create-A-Trick screen that aren't used.

Pro Point Indicator#

A HUD graphic for cash and pro points like the one seen in Pro Skater 4.

This still exists in the game's code but has been disabled. It is possible to see in the game by enabling and disabling 'Toggle Poly Count' in the Debug Menu. Cash is always valued at '0' as pickups do not exist in the game. Pro Points corresponds to how many missions the player has completed.

Unused Models#

driving_icon#

A 3D icon much like those used to mark goals. Possibly could've been used to differentiate driving goals from the standard missions or maybe to show the vehicle being driven.

Ed_Cursor folder#

In addition to all the variants of the Rail Tool cursor, one can find more unused cursors sharing the same design in this folder.

Horse#

A horse from the unused West Side level. It has a skeleton named 'anl_horse' and a selection of animations found in the level's PRE file. The animation files reference walking, running, trotting, coming to a stop, jumping then landing, and even eating.

Rail_Cursor#

An alternate model for the park editor's 'Rail Tool' cursor exists. In a total reversal of the Ed_Cursor models this one is much closer to the designs for the Gap and Selection tools.

test_skater_m & test_facial#

Earlier cutscene models for Eric with him wearing an Adio hoodie instead of his zip-up jacket.

TreeTest, TreeTest2 & TreeTest3#

Three separate yet completely alike tree models. Each one has its own associated skeleton, implying that they could animate in some way. The first two are seemingly identical, with TreeTest3 being different in that it is split into multiple meshes.

Unused Cutscenes#

NJ_Pool.cut#

Watch on YouTube

A sequence with the player character and Eric Sparrow by the pool at the New Jersey school playground. Eric loudly attempts to impress an unseen audience by grinding around the pool before eating the dirt with Hanna-Barbera-like bail sounds. He then prompts the player to do better than him. The cutscene has rather jerky camera movement, a temporary voice for Eric is used, and the scene begins and ends with a beep. Not to mention... the player has no face!

It is unknown exactly where the scene was used or if it was to be used at all. However, judging by Eric's alignment, it undoubtedly takes place in the early chapters of the game.

Scene1.cut#

Watch on YouTube

Presumably some sort of test of the cutscene system featuring a monkey from THPS4's Zoo and Eric Sparrow.

The camera position and angles are very broken and often point at nothing. It's worth noting that Eric is using his earlier test_skater_m model in this sequence. He also appears to be going through the same animations from NJ_Pool.

Test.cut#

Watch on YouTube

A short sequence obviously demonstrating particle effects with a lot of smoke.

Unused Sounds#

Dealer House Ambience#

Many sounds exist that were meant to be used as additional ambience at the drug dealer's house in New Jersey. The level is only scripted to play ambient sounds of muffled dog barking during the day plus creaking and an owl hooting at night.

Four sounds of muffled shouting from a male.

Rather disturbing sounds of a woman screaming, crying and being in distress.

Sounds of footsteps. Meant to be played at the house during night time.

Drug Dealer Lines#

Located in the same folder as the previously mentioned ambient sounds. Lines meant to be used by the roaming drug dealers during the mission Get the stolen items back from the dealers. These are still implemented in the August prototype.

Unused Voicelines#

Bucky Lasek#

The missions Party Boat Skate-Tricks and Over the Wall have voice lines for Bucky Lasek. In the final game these two missions instead feature Bam Margera.

Eric Sparrow#

There are several audio files regarding Eric for the final mission in the game, Tear Up Eric's Best Line.

A sizeable amount of lines of Eric taunting the player based on their distance.

One can also locate a sound file with Eric's meltdown after the player beats his line. While the line is used during the Beat Eric cutscene, this raw variant does not feature the cutscene sound mixing.

Security Stew#

There are four sound files of Stew struggling to keep up with the player in the mission Get Access to the Train Station.

Unused Music#

The following music tracks are leftovers from the unused West Side level.

Previously Undocumented Cheat Codes#

While a handful of cheat codes were officially published for the game, the game's internal scripts actually contain definitions for many more. These cheat code definitions are stored as hashed values (iteratively hashed using CRC32), meaning they cannot be trivially decoded. Through brute-forcing possible strings, several additional cheat codes were discovered in the scripts that were never published in cheat books or official guides.

School II Objects#

Just outside the playable space at the start of School II are several unused objects. They can be most easily found by either enabling the Moon Gravity cheat or by using Create-A-Goal's camera.

All the objects are directly from the original THPS2 incarnation of the stage. This includes a Hall Pass pickup, the original school bell meshes, and the rotating piece of the rooftop's AC unit, plus all the 'bouncy' objects like a metal barrel, a wooden crate, and a traffic pylon.
