Tony Hawk's Pro Skater/Awesome


 * The Tony Hawks Pro Skater series is designed in its entirety to allow players to pull off Crowning Moments of Awesome that would kill any skater who tried them in real life. A particular example that comes to mind is a section in Underground 2 where you can grind a power line.
 * This is quite possibly capstoned, however, in Underground (1), where you jump over a fully operating helicopter.
 * Er-Hem. Jumping the Bridge. But yeah, Underground 2 has a better one: You have 5 SECONDS to escape Skatopia before it blows up.Also, you have to save dogs to do it.With a CAT ON YOUR HEAD.
 * On the other hand, this is positively common in Jet Grind Radio, which also tops it by having you skate your way through a nightmarish vortex to spraypaint your way to victory against the Big Bad and his epic Crowning Music of Awesome.
 * Tony Hawk's Underground had an awesome one for the second go-round! Your character has just made it big after being kicked to the curb by Smug Snake Eric Sparrow and at the end, Eric appears, taunting your character with the video tape showing the aforementioned helicopter jump. In the first go-round, you have to chase him across your hometown to get it back. The second? You just punch the guy in the face.
