Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2 Guide – How to Unlock Officer Dick and the Alien

While you won’t find the likes of Spider-Man waiting in Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 1 and 2, there are still some interesting characters to unlock. These are Officer Dick, with actor Jack Black lending his likeness, and the Alien who’s, well, an alien.

How to Unlock the Alien

Unlocking the Alien is slightly easier but involves looking for 19 different alien plushies. There’s one plushy in each level and given how fairly well hidden they are, it’s best to refer to the video guide below. Upgrading your Speed and Ollie stats will help in obtaining them so keep that in mind while hunting.
