:That looks great to me.  My only concern is the delineation between types of collectibles.  It still seems arbitrary the way it is arranged.  I agree that [[Unique Stunt Jumps]] should be separated between [[GTA San Andreas]] and [[GTA IV]].  However, I'm a little worried about including [[snapshot]]s and [[tags]] under the [[Hidden Packages]] subheading.  Because hidden packages are '''always''' [[pickups]] in [[GTA III Era]] games, [[horseshoes]] and [[oysters]] make sense under that heading, but tags and snapshots do not, as they, like the unique jumps, require the player to use either an item (e.g. the [[camera]] or [[Spray Paint]]) or a vehicle in order to collect them.  Contrarily, hidden packages only require picking up, which I think distinguishes them from any other type of collectible.  I think we need to endeavor to make the distinction between GTA:SA and other GTA III Era games more clear, i.e. aiming at delineating by game '''first''', by lumping all pre-GTA:SA games together (since they don't vary much in terms of collectibles), and creating distinct headings (with their own subheadings) for GTA:SA and GTA IV.  Of course, as Gboyers mentioned, this can get a little messy with multiple subheadings.  Thoughts?

== Stunt jumps with road vehicles -- not in III ==
I'm here just to confirm, the page is a bit wrong when saying that unique jumps needs to be done in road vehicles.
In GTA3 there's some sort of glitch which credits you if you use the clipped Dodo to fly over the jump. As far as I know it's only credited if you land the Dodo at the landing place of the stunt.
