--------------------------------------------------

The goal of this challenge is to complete as many PAL GameCube games as I can, doing 100% or completionist playthroughs where possible. This challenge was inspired by tapioca (  / tapioca  ) and MisterRadon (  / misterradon  , Twitch streamers who have done console challenges of the GameCube and N64 respectively.

There are approximately 450 PAL releases. Depending on the success of this challenge I may add games from other regions (NTCS and NTCS-J) later down the line. In general I will play games in order of their PAL release date, if multiple games were released on the same day then I will arbitrarily pick the order.

This game was played using an original disc on an Nintendo Wii, both PAL versions. Game footage was captured using an Elgato HD60 S capture card and recorded using Open Broadcast Studios (OBS). The timer was created using Livesplit. Where applicable, recordings were merged using Avidemux.

The 17th game in this challenge is Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3. The objective of this playthrough did not have an official speedrun category at the time of upload. This is the first time I have played this game. In this video I finish most of career mode with Tony Hawk.

This game had a very steep learning curve, in this video you can see that I'm absolutely awful at it. Eventually things pick up and I get much better at the game. Originally I was going to collect all skill points for every character, but this doesn't unlock anything (outside of career mode) and is sort of ridiculous in the Tokyo level due to some very janky polygons / grind spots.

By the way, if the audio in this video is muted in sections it will be because the game contains copyrighted music. I had to mute some sections to make sure this video can be uploaded. Apologies!
