Complete Tony Hawks Pro Skater 3 + 4 Hidden Secrets Guide

The Tony Hawk's Pro Skater franchise has built its reputation on incredible skating mechanics and jaw-dropping secrets. While THPS 3+4 brings back the classic gameplay we love, it also introduces fresh Easter eggs that'll have you hunting through every corner of each level. From SpongeBob SquarePants references to Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles homages, these hidden gems add layers of discovery that extend far beyond landing the perfect combo.

What Makes THPS 3+4 Easter Eggs Special?

This isn't just a straight remake - you're getting evolved content with modern twists. Sure, we've lost some classics like the Star Wars secret skaters, but the trade-off includes purchasable characters like the Doom Slayer and entirely new secret areas that rival anything from the original games.

The Ultimate SpongeBob Secret Area

Head to the pirate ship on Skater Island and look toward the ocean. You'll spot a familiar yellow life ring floating in the water - that's your Bikini Bottom marker straight from SpongeBob SquarePants. The attention to detail here is incredible: SpongeBob's pineapple house, Squidward's Easter Island head, Patrick's rock, Sandy's treedome, and even the Chum Bucket are all visible from the ship.

Bow of Pirate Ship

To access the hidden area, position yourself on the ship's bow and grind off the edge toward the life ring. Landing near it will transport you to the Bikini Bottom secret area, a fully realized underwater-themed zone. Here, you'll find several SpongeBob references scattered throughout. The Bikini Bottom sign marks the entry point, while the Krusty Krab is located in the central part of the area. Near a skeleton, you'll spot a Krabby Patty, and various character houses are spread across the zone, completing the playful undersea atmosphere.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Sewer Adventure

Behind the starting ramps on Movie Studio, you'll notice a glowing green manhole cover with an empty pizza box nearby. A pizza-stealing rat scurries around the area - classic TMNT setup. Drop down the manhole to enter the turtle-themed secret area.

Exploring the sewer system reveals an underground paradise filled with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles nostalgia. The area pays tribute to the turtles' origins with Renaissance-style portraits of Leonardo da Vinci, Raphael, Donatello, and Michelangelo, the artists who inspired their names. Weapon displays, including Michelangelo's nunchucks and Raphael's sai, are mounted above tunnel entrances. Graffitied catchphrases are scattered across the walls, while the living area features subtle references to Master Splinter, tying the whole theme together.

Smaller Easter Eggs Worth Your Attention

Suburbia features several film tributes hidden within its design. The haunted house is a clear nod to the Bates family home from Psycho, replicating its eerie silhouette. Nearby trailers have windows displaying scenes from Night of the Living Dead (1968), visible on their flickering TV screens. For the best view of these details, climb to the peak of the haunted house where the vantage point offers a clear look at the surrounding references.

Neversoft's Legacy Lives On

The original developers left a subtle but memorable mark through the iconic Neversoft eyeball logo. In the Kona area, it can be spotted graffitied on various walls, blending into the environment. Meanwhile, in the Pinball section, the logo makes a dramatic appearance at the center of the table once all gravestones have been lowered, serving as a hidden nod to the game’s creators.
