In the game's story mode, your objective is to progress as a career or hardcore skater.
This entails completing various goals across three different categories: Career, Hardcore, and Neutral.
By accomplishing these goals, you earn money that can be used to enhance your skate park.
As you tackle enough challenges, professional skaters make appearances, and their challenges, when completed, allow you to acquire new skate park elements and advance to the next level.
This version of the game incorporates certain gameplay features from the console versions.
Aggro kicking enables the player to gain speed more rapidly.
Some missions involve executing Gesture Tricks, where you replicate motions on the touch screen, reminiscent of the Nail The Trick feature in the console versions.
Most missions are completed at different difficulty levels, and challenges are scattered throughout the levels, both of which were introduced in Project 8.
However, this version lacks the open world design.
The downtown areas of Philly and Baltimore are absent, and the Air & Space Museum incorporates elements of the National Mall.
Additionally, several levels have been redesigned to suit the hardware, with Lansdowne being the most notable example.
The Xbox 360 and PS3 versions' skate lounge is replaced by a sizable customizable skatepark.
About Nintendo DS
The dual-screen, touch-enabled Nintendo DS (2004) became the best-selling handheld of all time, helped by its huge and genre-diverse library. Cartridge-based DS games have held up well physically over 20 years, and complete-in-box copies of the system's biggest sellers (Nintendogs, Pokémon, Mario Kart) remain very accessible for new collectors starting out.
Gamevaro tracks Tony Hawk Proving Ground for Nintendo DS with separate market values for loose, complete-in-box (CIB) and factory-sealed copies, sourced from real eBay sales. Prices also vary by region — PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J releases of the same game often sell for different amounts due to print run sizes and regional collector demand.
Adding Tony Hawk Proving Ground to a Gamevaro collection takes seconds — search by title or scan the box barcode, and the app fills in cover art, release details and current pricing automatically. This NDS release dates back to 2007.
