Nearly every level in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 has a Secret Tape hidden somewhere in the park, but it isn’t always easy to track them down, and some require slick maneuvering to acquire. Secret Tapes are always part of the main Career Mode Tour Goals for both THPS 3 and 4 maps, and will be more than familiar for fans of the franchise or the first remake, THPS 1+2, which also included Secret Tapes in each main park.
Secret Tapes and other collectibles are a quintessential part of the classic THPS 3+4 franchise. While most parks have these listed as part of their goals, the Competition Parks do not have Secret Tapes at all. If you’re looking to collect all the Secret Tapes but can’t manage to track them down, I’ve included screenshots and some tips here on how to access them as easily as possible. Once you’ve collected a Secret Tape, it will be marked off your Goals list for that park, and you’ll be one step closer to completing your tour.

There Are Six Secret Tapes In The THPS 3 Parks
Just as the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1+2 parks were divided up into two parts for each game, Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3+4 is structured the same way. Players will remember many of these parks from the original THPS 3+4 games, but will also experience some brand-new ones. There are six total Secret Tapes in the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 parks, all of which are part of the main goals for each non-competition park.
You’ll get a brief glimpse at their locations in the Goals preview at the beginning of your run, but these aren’t always the clearest depictions of where the Secret Tapes are located. Also, the overview won’t give you any indication of how to actually reach these Secret Tape locations, so you’ll have to hone your skills a bit if you’re not familiar with the controls.

There Are Seven Secret Tapes For The THPS 4 Parks
The Secret Tapes in the Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 4 maps/parks are also part of the non-competition parks, and will function the same way as THPS 3 maps. There are a few tricky ones in THPS 4, including Alcatraz and the Shipyard. For the College Secret Tape, you can approach it from one of two directions, using the wire with the banners from the rooftop and grind your way up, or the easier way is to enter the door behind the clock tower. This will pop you out right at the top of the wire and you can then grind down.

After you’ve completed all goals in every park across both games, you will unlock the Pro Goals for each park, which will give you a whole new set of challenges to take on.
