Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 offers a plethora of levels, many of which contain hidden areas. Some of these are small, adding just a ramp or two, while others are expansive, transporting players to entirely new environments, sometimes inspired by other famous franchises.While a few secret areas are tied directly to completing specific level goals, most require players to interact with the environment in unique or unusual ways. It's important to note that not all stages in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4 have hidden areas. Specifically, the College, San Francisco, Kona, Shipyard, London, and Pinball stages do not contain secret areas.Here's how to find the secret areas in the levels that do feature them:
