THPS3 would be the first game in series to introduce pedestrians located throughout the levels.

THPS3 introduced a balance bar for lip tricks. a Kickflip could be easily transformed into a Kickflip to Indy or Kickflip to Crail).
An ability that was cut out in following games were flip-grab blending tricks. This system would later be refined in THPS4, where these variations known as double-tap tricks and manual/lip/grind extensions.
