Play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 Online

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 2 came to the Game Boy Color in 2000, developed by Natsume. This was a time when getting a respectable skateboarding game on a handheld felt like a minor miracle. It existed alongside its much more powerful console siblings, offering a completely different, scaled down interpretation of the skatepark.

You control a pro skater, moving screen by screen through small, contained levels. Your main goal is to complete specific objectives, like achieving a high score or finding the secret tape, within a two minute time limit. Signature mechanics include performing tricks by combining directional inputs and buttons, and manually bailing to avoid crashes when a trick goes wrong. The game moves at a brisk pace, demanding quick navigation and precise input to chain lines together before the clock runs out. It feels like a condensed puzzle of motion, where you are constantly negotiating the tiny spaces for every last point.
