A prototype of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater for the Sony PlayStation, dated 41 days before the final build.
An NTSC-J licensed build, whose origins are unknown. Around the time of the final game's release, it had already been speculated that this build has slipped in with a few retail discs but no evidence supporting this claim have been found.
Notes
- Aside from the Activision and Neversoft intro videos, there are no FMV's in this build.
- An earlier, unused version of the Neversoft intro is used, using the first eight seconds of "Inflated Head" from Earthworm Jim 2 (1995).
- The main menu music is missing.
- "Free Skate" is called "Practice".
- An additional multiplayer game called "Hoops" was cut from the final.
- The options menu as well as the in-game "Sound Levels" menu hasn't been implemented, meaning there is no way to adjust audio levels or change the music.
- Some skaters have different clothing.
- Every board in the Equipment Select menu is accessible. Unfinished boards with a "?" symbol are also selectable, but crash the game.
- Instead of a static level loading screen, you can scroll between tape challenges.
- Some levels, most notably San Francisco, are in an unfinished state.
- All levels are unlocked from the start.
- Going out of bounds in Downhill Jam ends the run.
- The run ends whether a combo is finished or not.
- The skater starts glowing when the special meter is full.
- While some special tricks are implemented, they're not registered as such.
- Instead of the Vandals' song "Euro-Barge", a track from their latest album at that time, this build uses an older song of theirs called "Change My Pants (I Don't Wanna)".
