After completing every standard goal throughout all nineteen levels in Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3+4, you will unlock Pro Goals. These are a series of five more challenging goals for every level (except competition levels, which only get one Platinum Goal to complete).

In the Pinball level, THPS 3+4 players are tasked to Sack Tap Through The Slime, but it's not immediately obvious what you have to do to complete this Pro Goal. This guide describes how to find the Thread The Slime gap in the Pinball level and explains how to SackTap Through The Slime in THPS 3+4.

Where Is The Slime In The Pinball Level?

Look For Slime On The Ground To Find The Gap Location

THPS 3 4 Sack Tap Through The Slime Thread The Slime Gap Pro Goal Flythrough Location 2

From the start of the level, avoid taking the speed boost pad on the ground, and instead transfer over the half pipe on the left side of the spawn corridor. Skate over to the other side of the gigantic eyeball in the middle of the level and look for a patch of slime on the half-pipe below the skeletal Birdhouse mascot.

To successfully Sack Tap through the slime, you must build a lot of speed, hit the half-pipe directly on this patch of slime, then perform the Sack Tap trick as you pop through the hole in the ground above.

Sack Tap Trick Input & How To Approach The Thread The Slime Gap

You cannot approach this trick from the top of the skeletal bird, you must approach it from the half-pipe on the lower part of the level. There aren't a lot of great places to build speed around here to make it high enough to trigger the Thread The Slime gap, except for a half-pipe hidden in the bottom corner of the pinball machine.

THPS 3+4: How to Start the Earthquake (Los Angeles)

To start the earthquake in Los Angeles, THPS 3+4 players must grind four rails around the first building you see upon spawning in the level.

By 

Skate across the map to the bottom right corner (as you face the bottom of the pinball machine) and perform a high-scoring trick to build your SPECIAL meter. Without losing your SPECIAL, which grants a bit of speed and height, skate past the rail and hit the slime half pipe as directly as you can.

If you have enough speed you don't need the SPECIAL meter to be filled, but it does help.

While in mid-air, you must perform the Sack Tap trick by holding down left and pressing the grab input twice in quick succession (↙+B+B, or ↙+O+O).

If you have enough height to make it through the narrow slime hole in the top level, and perform the Sack Tap before you land the trick, you will complete the Sack Tap Through The Slime pro goal in THPS 3+4!
