Play Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 Online

Summary

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 on the Game Boy Advance packs a surprisingly deep roster. Alongside legends like Tony Hawk, Rodney Mullen and Bucky Lasek, the game adds street stars such as Elissa Steamer, Jamie Thomas and even MTV’s Bam Margera. The create‑a‑skater mode lets you dial in everything from glasses and tattoos to the colour of knee pads and hair, giving each rider a personal flair.

The GBA version introduced the “revert,” letting you chain vert tricks together with a manual and extending combos far beyond the first two entries. Hidden combos reward double‑taps for double kickflips, and fresh moves like the Cannonball, Wrap Around and Fingerflip keep the trick list feeling fresh. Levels are more interactive, with moving cars and pedestrians that block paths and provide extra jump points.

Unlockables range from comic‑book heroes such as Wolverine and Darth Maul to GBA‑only characters like Shaun Palmer and Mindy. After the September 11 attacks, the airport mission was quickly re‑skinned from terrorists to pickpockets. Critics responded enthusiastically, with Metacritic scoring 90/100 and GameSpot naming it the best sports game of 2002 on the handheld.
