So, I chose to do this challenge because I thought it would be a nice easy one after the massive edit that was Final Fantasy 8. How wrong I was. This was quite possibly the most difficult Spyro challenge yet, and not necessarily due to a lack of skill (although I do lack that sometimes). This particular challenge required carefully planning out our routes ahead of time, otherwise we risk softlocks.
A big thank you to these two Spyro Speed Runners, without them, I would have fallen to many of the aforementioned softlocks:

I love how this game is so broken that the challenge was technically completed before the 2 minute mark. Even Sonic 06 is more stable than that, though the glitches in 06 are a bit overblown to be fair.

Ever since watching Mr FO1's Enter the Dragonfly documentary I have a new found respect for this game. It wasn't that the developers were bad, it was just that the game went through development hell in an era where you couldn't patch games easily. I have 100%'d this game fairly recently and some levels are actually quite good. It's just sad knowing what it could have been. Great run of the game anyway, it's just a shame Monkey Monastery had to go and ruin it. Also learnt a thing or two, didn't know there were too many gems in the Jurassic level and didn't know Ripto had multiple forms based on completion.

@MattTheMan2708 Год назад

This game is so incredibly broken and a shell of the original trilogy. Despite this though, it was my first Spyro game and I played it as I was growing up. I have fond memories of being 8 years old and talking to my friend at school about this game and being excited to come home and play it together. I remember spending ages taking turns to try and beat that tank mission in the honey level, which was the last dragonfly we got before 100%. Even though this game is objectively a bad game, it still holds a great amount of nostalgia for me and I'll always appreciate it for that.

@jackappleton2795 9 месяцев назад

I remember as a kid not being able to find 2 gems (1 green gem) in the Luau level. I'd spend hours going through the level looking for it. years later I found it at the start of the level in the water hidden in a corner that for some reason I never thought to check as a kid.

@NGPlusVideos 9 месяцев назад

Same thing happened to me in this run too. Apparently it's commonly missed

@HorizonEdge Год назад

This really was the sonic 06 of spyro games. As a preteen/teen I couldn't remember why this was my least played spyro game, so I booted it up and immediately noticed the terrible frame drops, broken controls, and the crashing. That cloud level was the worst culprit with the framerate rarely going above single digits. Great video though! I'm not really a big fan of glitches but seeing the creativity used when combining multiple glitches to work in tandem is so much fun.

@Antifrost 10 месяцев назад

This was the first and only Spyro game I played as a kid. The weird thing is I remembered loving it. That's not to say that I didn't run into bugs or glitches, I certainly remember a lot of those, but that didn't necessarily reduce the experience for me. It's always kinda funny to hear how much everyone else seems to have disliked the game in comparison, which I can't fault anyone for. The fact that this run could have ended in mere moments is pretty funny, but it was worth not allowing that clip to see the strategies for Thieves' Den.

If only Universal didn't push the developers to have it out by Christmas, who knows, this game could have been great.

Turns out I was not only playing the more stable version, I also wasn't going out of my way to do these exploits.

My personal corroboration of how poorly the game was made is 1: my and my brother’s save file got corrupted when trying to enter cloud nine every time 2: back before I even knew what speedruns and challenge runs were, I accidentally got a swim in air glitch after getting lightning breath and swam into the final boss portal Also, clipping through doors by lowing the frame rate was something I’d seen in a SpongeBob: battle for bikini bottom speedrun where you rapidly open and close the pause menu to clip into locked containers holding a collectible; interesting to see it used elsewhere.

For some reason I really liked to do this as a kid, I remember doing it all the time.
