THPS Special Moves

Each character in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater has a few Signature Moves. These moves score more points than normal tricks, but can only be used when your "Special Meter" is full. The Special Meter is the bar in the upper left corner of the screen. When you do tricks, it is filled with a green bar. When the green bar fills up the Special Meter, it starts flashing yellow. While flashing, you can do Signature Moves. Both the green bar, and the yellow bar eventually get shorter and disappear. When the yellow is totally gone, you need to fill up the Special Meter again to do Signature Moves. To totally fill up the Special Meter in one trick, you must get at least 3000 points, but if you do multiple smaller tricks that add up to over 3000, then the Special Meter will also be filled.
