Waterpark in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4

Complete Score Challenges

The Waterpark’s drained swimming pool areas and half pipes provide perfect opportunities for high-scoring combos. I’ve found the most effective scoring strategy involves using the empty pools near spawn to build massive air combos, then extending them with manuals and grinds along the various slide rails throughout the park.

High Score: 75,000 Points Start by heading straight from spawn into the drained pool area. Use the half pipe walls to launch high vert tricks, then revert into manuals to maintain your combo. The key is chaining together flip tricks in the air with grab tricks for variety multipliers.

Pro Score: 135,000 Points For the Pro Score, you’ll need to extend your combos beyond just the pool area. After building your base score in the half pipes, manual out toward the slide structures and incorporate grinds along the colorful water slide rails. Mix in some special tricks if you’ve unlocked them for quick point boosts.

Sick Score: 250,000 Points The Sick Score requires mastery of the level’s flow. My proven route starts in the spawn pool, builds air combos, then manuals to the purple slide area on the right. Grind up the slide, hit more air tricks off the quarter pipes, and chain everything together with reverts. Don’t forget to vary your tricks – repetition kills your multiplier.

High Combo: 20,000 Points This is surprisingly easy in Waterpark. Simply start a combo in the spawn area pools and maintain it for about 10-15 tricks. Focus on consistency over complexity – a clean 15x multiplier with decent base tricks will easily exceed 20,000 points.

Platinum Score: 600,000 Points (Pro Goal) The Platinum Score demands perfection. Use the same routing as the Sick Score but extend it significantly. Your combo should last at least 30-40 seconds, incorporating every major grinding rail and vert opportunity in the level. The teleporting slide entrances can help you maintain momentum between distant areas. Consider using a high-stat skater for easier execution.

Collect S-K-A-T-E Letters

The S-K-A-T-E letters in Waterpark follow a relatively linear path from the spawn area:

S – From spawn, go down the slides ahead. The ‘S’ floats above the rail immediately in front of you. Simply grind the rail to collect it.

K – After collecting ‘S’, continue forward to the fountain area. Build speed and jump from the fountain’s edge to grab the ‘K’ floating in mid-air. You might need to boneless for extra height.

A – Head to the back of the map near the toilet slide entrance. The ‘A’ sits atop the mushroom-painted carousel. Use the quarter pipe to gain height and grab it.

T – Enter the Bowl Slide from the toilet entrance after grabbing ‘A’. The ‘T’ waits on the slide itself – simply grind the slide’s edge to collect it.

E – The ‘E’ sits at the very bottom of the Bowl Slide. Let gravity do the work and ride down to snag it.

Hardflip the Castle and Fountain Gap

This goal requires specific trick execution and proper positioning. From spawn, head right through the doorway marked “Dual Boomerang Slides.” Ride down the slide to build massive speed. As you approach the castle area, you’ll see a ramp on the castle itself.

Use the castle ramp to launch yourself over the fountain while performing a Hardflip (Up + Left + Square on PlayStation / Up + Left + X on Xbox). The key is maintaining enough speed from the slide – don’t slow down! If you’re struggling with distance, add a boneless (Up, Up + Jump) right before the ramp for extra air.

Smash 5 Mascot Cutouts

These cardboard mascot standees are scattered throughout the park. Simply skate through them to destroy each one:

Mascot #1 – From spawn, go down the slides and turn left. The first mascot stands next to a closed red gate.

Mascot #2 – Continue left from the first mascot. You’ll find this one at the entrance to the Twisted Viper ride.

Mascot #3 – From the Viper ride, head right under the archway and up the small slope. This mascot waits near the closed main entrance.

Mascot #4 – Return to the spawn area and head to the fountain. This mascot stands in the open near the fountain base.

Mascot #5 – From spawn, go right to find the castle ride entrance. The final mascot guards this entrance.

Drain Pirate’s Bay

This multi-step goal requires hitting five valves in the Pirate’s Bay area. Head to the back-right section of the map and locate the track behind Pirate’s Bay. You’ll need to grind across multiple rails and the pirate ship itself to turn each valve:

1. Start by grinding the initial rail leading into the area
2. Transfer to the pirate ship’s side rail
3. Jump and grind the ship’s mast crossbeam
4. Land on the opposite side rail
5. Finish on the final perimeter rail

Each valve makes a distinct turning sound when activated. The water will drain from Pirate’s Bay once all five are triggered, opening new skating areas below.

Restore Power to the Arcade

This two-part objective starts with finding the arcade keys. From spawn, head right and locate the yellow slide. Go behind it and wallride up the wall to reach a higher platform. The keys rest on this elevated area.

With keys in hand, drop down and locate the arcade building (look for the “ARCADE” sign). Approach the locked door and press the interact button to unlock it. The lights will flicker on, confirming you’ve restored power. The arcade becomes important for a Pro Goal later, so remember its location!

Get the Secret Tape

The Secret Tape requires precision and speed. Enter the castle area through the door marked “Dual Boomerang Slides” from spawn. Follow the slide path down until you reach an area with a massive yellow ramp.

Build maximum speed approaching this ramp – you’ll need every bit of momentum. Launch up the ramp and extend your jump to reach the Secret Tape floating high above. Some players find success using the Boneless technique for extra height. The tape sits at the apex of your jump, so time your grab carefully.

Waterpark Pro Goals

Pro Goals unlock after completing all regular goals across both THPS 3 and THPS 4 tours. These challenges significantly increase the difficulty and often reference classic Tony Hawk moments.

Collect C-O-M-B-O

Unlike the standard S-K-A-T-E collection, C-O-M-B-O requires gathering all five letters without breaking your combo. This is one of the most challenging goals in Waterpark. All letters are located along the Twister Slide path:

1. Enter the Twister Slide entrance
2. Start grinding on the right side for ‘C’
3. Transfer to the left side for ‘O’
4. Jump back to the right for ‘M’
5. Grind up the first purple slide section for ‘B’
6. Continue grinding up the second purple slide for ‘O’

The key is maintaining grind balance throughout the entire sequence. Consider maxing out your grind stats before attempting this challenge. One bail means starting over!

Impress the Pro Skaters

Seven professional skaters are scattered throughout Waterpark, each requiring you to score at least 5,000 points while near them. They won’t move, so you can take your time setting up combos:

1. Pro Skater #1 – Right of spawn on the platform near cardboard-covered vents 
2. Pro Skater #2 – Inside the arcade (after restoring power) 
3. Pro Skater #3 – Group of skaters on the ramp before the pirate ship 
4. Pro Skater #4 – Near the red toadstools by the toilet slide entrance 
5. Pro Skater #5 – Opposite the main water park entrance 
6. Pro Skater #6 – Right of the Viper ride entrance 
7. Pro Skater #7 – On the wooden walkway near the purple slides

For each skater, perform a quick combo nearby. A simple 10-trick combo with specials should easily exceed 5,000 points. The skaters will react with approval once impressed.

Collect 5 Tokens for the Arcade

This goal combines exploration with collection. Five tokens are hidden throughout Waterpark, and you must return all of them to the arcade:

1. Token #1 – Reach the rooftop of the building with yellow smiley face graffiti. Jump off the left side to grab this token floating in mid-air.
2. Token #2 – Enter the Twister Slide area and reach the top. Jump from the slide’s peak onto the blue rooftop where this token waits.
3. Token #3 – Climb aboard the pirate ship and grind across the flag wire. The token hangs from this line.
4. Token #4 – Enter the castle interior through the usual entrance. The token floats between the castle walls – a simple jump grabs it.
5. Token #5 – Return to the Dual Boomerang Slides entrance and build massive speed. Launch up the yellow ramp at full velocity to reach this high-flying token.

After collecting all five, return to the arcade and interact with the designated spot to complete the goal.

Get Back at Eric Sparrow

This satisfying goal lets you exact revenge on Tony Hawk’s Underground’s infamous antagonist. Eric Sparrow stands beneath a giant bucket of nasty green water, taunting you as always.

From spawn, head right and go behind the yellow slide. Follow the path upward to reach the giant red bucket. You’ll need to grind completely around the bucket’s rim to tip it. Start your grind from either side and maintain balance all the way around. Once you complete the full rotation, the bucket tips, drenching Eric in disgusting water. Sweet revenge!

Pro tip: Behind this same bucket, you’ll find one of the game’s collectible Panda Plushies if you’re going for 100% completion.

All Waterpark Collectibles

Beyond goals, Waterpark hides 10 collectibles essential for 100% completion and unlocking secret content. Here’s where to find each one:

Stat Points (3 Total)

Stat Point #1 – From spawn, go down the slides and turn left. Use a wallie to reach the top of the abandoned toilet structure where this stat point waits.

Stat Point #2 – Near the Summer Slippin’ slide, locate the bathroom building. Wallie up to its roof to claim this upgrade.

Stat Point #3 – Head right from spawn and find the purple slide. Grind up this slide and follow the wooden walkway to its end for the final stat point.

Cash Bundles (5 Total – $250 Each)

Cash #1 – From spawn, go left and use the quarter pipe to reach the green building’s roof. Grind along the rooftop edge to collect this cash.

Cash #2 – At the Twisted Viper ride, use the quarter pipes to reach the rooftop. Grind across to find this cash bundle.

Cash #3 – From spawn, go right through the open door to the rooftop area. Follow the path left and down the slide for this cash.

Cash #4 – Use wallride and wallie techniques to reach the rooftop from spawn. Grind across the flag line for this money.

Cash #5 – Enter the “Down the Drain” ride at the map’s back. Take the shortcut above the slide, grind, then jump right onto the blue roof for the final cash.

Iron Galaxy Badge

The IG badge shows Iron Galaxy’s attention to detail in this remake. From spawn, go left to find a building decorated with a yellow smiley face. Use the ramp to reach the roof, then grind the wire leading away from the building. The badge waits at the wire’s end. Be careful – falling means starting the sequence over!

Hidden Deck

For the secret deck, head to the back of the map and enter the Summer Slippin’ ride area. Go through the door marked “Twister Slide.” Once inside, start grinding on the left side of the slide. Watch carefully for a wooden pole jutting out – you’ll need to jump from your grind onto this pole. The hidden deck sits at the pole’s end. This requires precise timing, so don’t get discouraged if it takes multiple attempts.

Pro Strategies and Tips

After spending countless hours perfecting Waterpark, here are my advanced strategies for maximizing your success:

Optimal Scoring Lines

The best scoring in Waterpark starts at spawn and utilizes the drained pools. My record-breaking line follows this path:

1. Build speed into the first pool
2. Launch massive vert combos off the back wall
3. Revert and manual toward the fountain
4. Grind the fountain edge into a transfer
5. Manual to the castle area slides
6. Grind up the colorful slides
7. Transfer between slide sections
8. Finish in the purple slide area with more vert tricks

This route can easily generate 1,000,000+ point combos with practice.

Teleportation Efficiency

Waterpark’s unique teleportation mechanic lets you instantly travel to slide tops. Use this for:

• Quick goal resets after failures
• Accessing distant collectibles efficiently
• Maintaining combo momentum between areas
• Speedrunning multiple objectives

Character Selection

For Waterpark’s challenges, I recommend high-grind stat skaters like Tony Hawk or Rodney Mullen. The C-O-M-B-O goal particularly benefits from maxed grinding ability. Speed also helps for the Secret Tape’s massive ramp jump.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Through community feedback and personal experience, these errors trip up most players:

1. Rushing the C-O-M-B-O goal – Take it slow and steady
2. Ignoring teleport options – They save significant time
3. Forgetting Token collection order – Grab all five before returning to arcade
4. Insufficient speed for Secret Tape – Maximum velocity is non-negotiable
5. Missing Eric Sparrow’s bucket grind – Complete the full rim rotation

Conclusion
