2. Story Mode

Learn how to conquer Story Mode in Tony Hawk's Underground 2. This guide covers all training objectives, skater locations, and challenges across Easy, Normal, and Sick difficulties.

You can play Story Mode in three different Difficulties: Easy, Normal, and Sick. The only difference is the time limits, scores needed to win, physics, and requirements to get stats. Easy is for those new to the series, Normal is for average to good players, and Sick is for hardcore veterans.

In this game, you have to find and switch to other skaters to complete goals. You can also switch between pros from the options menu when allowed.
