Learn the rules and strategies for the fun Horse mode in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2. Challenge your friends and see who can spell out HORSE first!
Horse is a super fun, low-stakes game mode where you and a friend go back and forth trying to one-up each other's tricks. The basic idea is simple: one person does a trick, and the other has to do a trick of equal or greater value. If they can't, they get a letter. Keep going until someone spells out H-O-R-S-E (or whatever word you agree on beforehand), and the other player wins!
It’s a great way to mess around and see who can come up with the most creative lines. I personally love trying to just barely beat my friend's trick, making the game drag on forever. If they pull off a nollie + kickflip + 5-0 grind, I'll try for a nollie + impossible + 5-0 grind. It’s hilarious to see the look on their face when you nail a trick just a little bit better!
How to Play:
- Player 1 performs a trick.
- Player 2 must perform a trick of equal or higher score.
- If Player 2 fails, they get the letter 'H'.
- The game continues with Player 2 going first.
- The first player to spell out HORSE loses.
- Go for the Barely-There Win: Try to match your opponent's trick score as closely as possible. This makes the game last longer and can be really funny.
- Know Your Tricks: The better you know your trick combos and grinds, the easier it will be to one-up your opponent.
- Use the Environment: Look for opportunities to string together grinds, manuals, and airs to create higher-scoring combos.
- Have Fun! It's a casual mode, so don't take it too seriously. The goal is to have a good time with a friend.
