- Back by even more popular demand, here are a massive 50 MORE oddities! Ranging from prototype level designs, internal secrets, cut level assets, and much more.
Huge thanks to Saviitrius for telling me about The Princess Bride reference - / silverzoc000
Enter the Dragonfly is a rabbit hole of endless info, and you are the one who dug the hole the deepest
As a kid, ever since I went past the castle cutscene at the beginning, I’ve always wanted to go back inside for some reason. I just felt drawn to it, and I’m glad that more people are pointing out that it actually used to be accessible. My younger self can finally be at ease.
I love how there's scary boss music playing over the still shots of food at 10:04
Being honest.
Spyro Enter the Dragonfly is a mountain of unused content, with its own mine of hidden and obscure content.
And didn't thought the game had THAT much of oddities, but as a super fan of leftovers and content in general, this is a paradise of content.
So glad you keep finding these!
When I was a kid I always thought i'd never fully finished the game since that door didn't open!
the developers really liked movie references! i love it, it shows they got to have some moments of fun during the development.
Bully 🤝 Spyro Enter the Dragonfly 🤝 Fallout New Vegas 🤝 Dead Rising 1
Being insanely old, yet still having near constant info about it's development being uncovered decades after it's release.
Awesome oddities videos! There's a few things I've noticed over the years (sorry if they've already been mentioned) - I believe every vase in game contains a 5 gem, also if you flame a vase, Spyro can charge through them while they are wobbling and they won't break. Also also, the name of the dragonfly rewarded for completing Rainbow Speedway's time attack is a Star Wars reference :3
The amount of dedication you put into making these videos is astonishing. I appreciate the fact that you choose to use text instead of voice for commentary. As someone who had this game growing up, it’s finally nice to see what this game went through and what it could’ve been if the development cycle had gone differently. Thank you so much for finding out these things and documenting them, hope your day is going well! May you continue making videos like this in the future. ❤️
ETD was a great game for me, thanks for sharing this information from ETD Dev, I really like your videos.
While this was far more of a fun facts then oddities video, I loved it a bunch. The more you see all these unpolished little quirks the funnier this game gets
Awesome video, i really appreciate it more discovery about this game, continuing searching more things about this videogame because i'm really curious how this game wasn't the best Spyro in the trilogy ps1 and check six and Universal have failed creating this videogame, but hope soon a new remasted with cut contents, new levels and also Gnasty Gnorc togheter with Ripto
At this point I’m expecting these videos to keep going every month as you keep discovering interesting stuff haha 😂
Great video like always 😁
I couldn’t sleep and this video really scratched my brain 😂 I love seeing all of these discoveries you make - and just when you think the rabbit hole can’t go any deeper, you are always pulling something new out of the woodwork! Fantastic finds, thank you for all your hard work researching ETD
It hurts so much thinking about what this game could have been
I feel sad because in release we can't enter the castle
I love this game so much
Ahh, Spyro Enter the Dragonfly. Brings back memories. Sometimes I want to ask my younger self, How the hell did you enjoy this game so much?! 🤣🤣
I think Spyro moving on ice while using Wing Shield references "Guard Mobility", used by certain characters in certain RPGs.
6:48 Wow they really did just watch a bunch of movies and said "that was funny, put that in the game"
6:30 Wow! I never even knew that was referenced let alone Ripto being that Cultured! (I betcha his favorite movie is Disney's Dragon Slayer.)
Honestly when I realized he referenced Princess Bride, I immediately started seeing similarities in the two trios. Gulp could be Fezzik, Crush could be Inigo, and Ripto is DEFINITELY Vizzini! 🤣
This is awesome!
Have you discovered the fact that you cannot change the sound volume if you’re underwater?
If you try, the game crashes and makes an awful sound.
Yes! The game on PS2 has issues with the ambient sounds that are set to play on loop. It was mostly fixed on GC but it’s still not perfect.
This upload made my day lol!
Watching these brings back memories of how buggy this game was
Huh, never had that occur before. I've tried it in Platform Peril just now to no avail. Can you provide more information on this?
When it happened to me I had left the game running all night. When I woke up, Spyro was half way in the floor. I guess it takes a few hours. I'm pretty sure I just entered the level and then didn't do anything else. This was the PS2 version.
@@Pearlzu That’s interesting, I’d certainly believe it occurring as characters sinking into the ground happens to various other ones in the game.
Fantastic, as always! I'm always so excited whenever you post ETD content, it's such an endlessly fascinating subject
FUCKING SNOWBALLS I KNEW IT
You're just a gift that keeps on giving! Love your spyro content bud. ❤️
I was thinking... Could you cover crash bandicoot but wrath of cortex perhaps?
Given that game was pretty much paired up with enter the dragonfly, it would be cool to know any odditities in that game.
Maybe some other info i missed about it, because twinsanity was done to death already haha 🤣
Possibly, though for now I’m just sticking with Spyro.
@@MrFO1 Neat. No worries! Cant wait what else will you potentially dig up bro!
Love the whole "behind the scenes" or prototypes of games. 😁
Surprised you've never mentioned the NPC at the end of Cloud 9 with a talk prompt that doesn't work if you try to speak to him again like they forgot to program in extra dialogue. I had a few different softlocks happen to me when I finally played this game recently, I got stuck on the rock pile and I got stuck on an NPC, both times from Spyro having to do his stupid scripted walk to the event trigger. I also went back and watched all these and I actually found a few of the oddities for myself while I was playing it. I think a lot of these inconsistencies and oddities are a testament to the sheer amount of crunch and micromanaging the game's developers went through to make it "Spyro-brand".
0:46 That one really annoyed me when I was struggling to find the last dragonfly in that level I was missing (spoiler, it was the NPC by the pool)
1:59 Didn't one of the developers say the castle was going to contain the portal to the next hub world back when the game was originally supposed to have more than one?
5:34 "struggled with coding slopes" I could tell when jumping in the slide minigames doesn't work 80% of the time and Spyro just clings to the slope. Also man that would explain why most of the level design is either completely flat or raised platforms
The NPC at the end of Cloud 9 has unused dialogue that the game never uses, which is why it prompts you to talk but then fails to do anything. This is also the case for the ending pig in Luau Island who has several unused pieces of dialogue.
Would be cool to see a vid about all the 80s movie references in this game :D
I’ve had that written down as a video idea for probably 2 years. Perhaps I’ll make it sometime, though there will be another Oddities video.
Very interesting
You can tell they really were rushed
Awesome video! 😁
Oh god I forgot how abysmal the Ripto boss theme is. It's especially jarring because the rest of the OST is really good.
Speedway timers stop at the exact same '98 time in the PS1 versions of Ripto's Rage and Year of the Dragon. I haven't tried it on any other Spyro games, though.
Neat, I wasn’t aware of that!
This is awesome! Lol
It genuinely pains me to say I wish I actually gave this game more than an afternoon of play... Like I did try to get behind its new style but it functioned like a three legged tightrope cross. Like the controls barely worked and the vibe was really Weird throughout. I wasn't even sure how Ripto was back especially with the same damned goons. It was almost like they tagged them in just to make sure there was at least something familiar about the game.
Greatest Hits PS2 NA version:
If you have more than 800 gems from a 900 gem level like Luau Island, and you haven't broken them up between the other portals in one of those 900 gem levels like Luau Island, before exiting the level, and you exit the level with all those gems at once, so the "exiting level" screen shows you collected more than 800 gems, the game will freeze at the exiting level screen, with some of the gems still floating in mid-air just as the gem count reaches 0.
I could never beat the game with my original copy because of this glitch :(
I had to buy the gamecube version as I couldn't figure out why it kept freezing
Neat, I've never heard of that before! That bug does sound very strange. I just tried to replicate it in Luau Island by collecting 900 gems and then exited the level via the portal, the bug did not occur - can you provide more information?
is there a way to get into the room with the intro scene? it is obviously still modeled, so i wonder if there’s a way we haven’t discovered yet to get inside
It’s not a part of the Dragon Realms level model, it’s only present in the Intro Cutscene. There’s no collision data leftover either.
@@MrFO1 ah, gotcha. thanks for the info!
next oddities video
EVEN MORE-ER oddities
EVEN EVEN MORE oddities
EVEN MORE MORE oddities
EVEN-ER MORE oddities
etc.
this couldve been a cool game had they buffed out the countless issues
Could you redo a year of the dragon oddities I am very curious after seeing all these videos

If you crash on the edge of the platform here, then you can catch a bug and you will run in the air.
P.S.
to do this, you need to fly off the whirlwind before you fly up to the end on it using a jerk
Why is there two music tracks playing at once?
There isn’t. Other than The Princess Bride section where the game audio and music is tied to one file. The other game clips have the music disabled via the pause menu.
Great video as always! I'm sure you've shown this in a video but I found it very strange that under the right side of the ice slide there a bunch of flags, any idea of what that may be?
They are leftover flags from an entire cut path. The path is still playable in the E3 build as seen here - th-cam.com/video/XtSfbX005Zs/w-d-xo.html
@@MrFO1 yo that's dope, that's why this is the best place for EtD wisdom haha I wish that was still in the game
Can you do sound effects part 2 on this game? We have forgot about the Bubble Breath sound in part 1
Are you asking for a video with all of the game’s SFX? If so that can be done, I’ve had all assets sorted for each build of the game for months.
@@MrFO1 Yes
@@brandonmonchez5662 I’ll work on that sometime soon.
@@MrFO1 Thanks man! Halloween is coming soon!
Your mom
!!! MR.FO1 has uploaded a new video !!!

The amount of content still been discovered in this game is beyond fascinating! This game was a core piece of my childhood.
