Tony Hawk's Pro Skater - Platform: Gameboy Color Hint: Half pipe mode -------------------- When you are playing half pipe mode, select Tony Hawk since he is very flexible and he can do hard tricks without falling. The other skaters are good, but Tony Hawk is the best choice. Hint: Versus mode ----------------- Select the skaters that have more than two bars in acceleration, speed, and jump. Do not pick Tony Hawk first, since he is not that good at versus mode. Hint: Tournament mode --------------------- Try to use a skater with more than three bars of acceleration and speed. If your skater is very swift, you will end up either in first, second, or third in that course.
