Tony Hawk's Pro Skater is a skateboarding video game developed by Neversoft and published by Activision. It was released for the PlayStation on September 29, 1999 and was later ported to the Nintendo 64, Game Boy Color, Sega Dreamcast, and N-Gage.

Tony Hawk's Pro Skater takes place in a 3D environment permeated by an ambience of punk rock and ska music. The player takes control of a variety of famous skateboarders and must complete missions by performing skateboarding tricks and collecting objects. The game offers several modes of gameplay, including a career mode in which the player must complete objectives and evolve their character's attributes, a free-play mode in which the player may skate without any given objective, and a multi-player mode that features a number of competitive games. The collection of videotapes was directly inspired by the collection of stars in Super Mario 64.

The Nintendo 64 port of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater was developed by Edge of Reality and released on March 15, 2000. While the port is largely faithful to the original version and retains all game modes, characters and levels, the soundtrack had been truncated and the voices were removed to accommodate the lessened space in the cartridge format. The blood effects had also been removed, so Nintendo could market the game with an "E" game rating.

Here, I play the Nintendo 64 version and this is where I find the hidden tape in the Downtown (Minneapolis) stage. That hidden tape, along with the one in Downhill Jam (Phoenix) and Streets (San Francisco) are among the hardest to get in terms of reaching it.
