When I was a kid I had Spyro on a Pizza Hut demo disc and the balloonist said something like “come back in September” probably cause that’s when the game came out. Well when 5 year old me went back in September guess what? NOTHING. Needless to say I’ve had a personal grudge against that balloonist bastard ever since.
I'm assuming there is a flag that is set in the game when you talk to the balloonist, and he lowers the balloon for you. If you could figure out how to force that flag to be set, you could trick the game into lowering the balloon for you early and move to the next level. That would probably take some ACE shananigans to do though.
Great video! Good information and passionate delivery and inspires some amount of hope for the future. Balloonist skip seems impossible, but so do most things until they happen, so who knows. Would love to see this video look fuckin' sick in hindsight 5 years down the line if some of these pieces do come together
fuck yes if you arent breaking the game open you arent speedrunning!!! i love seeing video games get dissected im so excited for the potential future of spyro 1 speedruns
i think one of the big issues with ace in spyro is the lack of anywhere the player can really input anything which means you need to rely on the game breaking memeory on its own and manipulating that, and the only time the game seems to really bug out is time based, like waiting ages for the key to bug out etc. so if something was found using current knowledge it might take longer than a run lmao
The comparisons here to other 90s/00s games, specifically how they load between stages, is really useful. Seems to illustrate some particularly Insomniac-like development characteristics - the Ratchet speedrunning community has the same barrier to planet skipping, essentially lack of in-world 'next stage' loading zones
How bout that video (even though it's the crapy reignited trilogy) , where youtuber Jumpyluff went out of bounds of 2nd homeworld , and was able to access any homeworld from there , in his "Spyro Reignited Trilogy (PC) "Spyro 1 - Any%" speedrun in 6:58 [Former WR]" video?
Random ass thought: There's that glitch in Crash 2 that lets you collect key items by overflowing the item addresses. Something like that? Some kinda way to fuck up the collectible table and make mobs drop dragons or some shit?
Well guess it's time to get the rear port game shark out and analyze code . I played around with Digimon once and made an overpowered skull greymon once. And beat the game in 20s. Granted it would be an old school tas.
My theory would be you some how duplicate items such as dragons, eggs or even some 25 gems somehow. I know you can duplicate the dragon in Gnasty’s World but that’s it I think.

Ballonists... Worse than moneybags
😂
I'm shaking and crying the magic crafter's balloonist exploded my firstborn son
I am the 3 6 Mafia Balloonist
Sick video btw. Really think this could be possible in spyro, and perhaps the other playstation platformers.
This whole video was fucking hilarious, literally laughed 99% of this , amazing recording
I was expecing wrong warps in this video
After the Nestor skip I can't think something is impossible in this game.
Nestor skip and early Loot.
Your videos keep getting better and better.
Sick video dude the editing is on point
Even CTR had wrong warp, I wouldn't be suprised if something could be done in Spyro like that
Love the idea behind this, clever stuff!
Bro causally dropping Blarg Station Nebula tracks over Balloonists.
Insomniac Inception.
Everyone thought Moneybags was greedy but we've been overlooking those damn balloonists.
I only started playing Spyro again because of this channel, good job
Spyro takes up so little power and memory you can take the disc out on a ps2 slim and still play the whole game. There might be an exploit there
FUCKING BALLOONISTS Got me dying💀

Such quality. The algo smiles upon you today

if you are cute enough the balloonists will let you ride for free
I love theory crafting vids like this
Your comedy is always amazing :3

love you dayo

One day, the dragons will rise up against this tyranny
Absolutely mental ideas
When i first saw the mario one I also thought it could be possible to spyro in some way. I'm excited for the future
The sims clip lmaooo I cant handle it. King of infotainment at it again 👏
That was my idea 💅🏻
@@strawberryxsangria I had no doubt ❤️
fuck yes if you arent breaking the game open you arent speedrunning!!! i love seeing video games get dissected im so excited for the potential future of spyro 1 speedruns
It's like Jak and Daxter all over again! Major skip theorised, thought impossible, later found, then executed!
I bet that's how it'll go!
Great edits and overall video ,props for ratchet & clank music ❤
Midway through the video. I have to mention the remakes' out of bounds dev triggers! If only the original had such triggers.
Yet another quality shitpost, keep em coming king
Ricky being in there caught me off guard I can't lie
nice editing here very interesting video
guys i think the balloonist might have instigated global warming
very interesting stuff! Love the rac music too!!!

3:59 is hilarious to me
youre editing is actually fucking amazing
This music sounds like it's from Ratchet and Clank. Dayo, is it? Am I losing my mind?
Love the vid as always.
That's because the music IS from ratchet and clank. It's the blarg station from ratchet 1
This shit is pretty crazy to theorize, but exciting! Being able to skip collectibles would be insane. S1 would be like S2/3 in that way.
You just want to destroy Laura's heart, don't you? 😏

The Baloonists run the international gang of war crimes.

this video is great
Balloonist Skip existed in Reignited Trilogy, I think?
yes it does. its a debug balloonist thats out of bounds in peace keepers. no such out of bounds balloonists exist in the original
STAY COOL DAYOOOO!!!
Dayomaaaaaaaan
guys we need to increase the internal level counter. THINK brain THINK
Funni :) I hope someone finds it

this is z best video
I've learned that saying "Balloonist skip is impossible" In this comment will cause someone to do it
Arby’s Yummer
Seems like there's an easier way to not play a game than to play it a lot.

How are home worlds stored, surely if you can get out of bounds you can enter any home world right?
Arb y yum
