2 in 1 Game Pack: Tony Hawk's Underground/Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer
This package contains two previously released sports-themed Game Boy Advance games, courtesy of Activision: Tony Hawk's Underground and Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer. This handheld version of Tony Hawk's Underground offers players a "three-quarters" isometric view of the action. New characters begin in a suburban neighborhood, where they gradually learn trick move combinations through practice and experimentation, and increase their abilities as certain challenges are met. Later levels are set in gritty, urban locales that continue to encourage exploration and player-determined character development. Unlike earlier versions of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Tony Hawk's Underground (T.H.U.G.) focuses on player-developed characters instead of big-name stars of the sport, allowing handheld gamers to custom design their own personas and then steer their advancement through an open-ended system of stat-rewarding challenges. Ride the waves with six-time World Champion surfer Kelly Slater and eight other world-class professionals in Kelly Slater's Pro Surfer for GBA. Five gameplay modes are available: Championship (12 stages, three heats per stage), Challenge (Trick, Points, and Special), Tutorial (learn controls and tricks), Drop In (instant practice action), and Multiplayer (requires two systems, two game paks, and one link cable). Individual surfers are rated in balance, speed, timing, and air, and include personal data such as hometown, achievements, and age, as well as a short bio of each in the manual. Players perform tricks, barrels, grabs, aerials, and more at Bell's Beach, Trestles, Curren's Point, Sebastien Inlet, Mundaka, Jeffrey's Bay, G-Land, Pipeline, Mavericks, Waimea Bay, Teahupoo, and Jaws. To help smooth out the waves, onscreen displays include score, timer, combo, message line, special move meter, wave indicator, game mode, and difficulty settings.
