While there's nothing in the game files to reflect this, Spyro 1 was going to have two extra home worlds - Machinist and Aquifier. These however were cut due to time constraints. Aquifer was apparently supposed to be a level involving a lot of swimming, but as they couldn't get the swimming feature working until Spyro 2, it had to be canned.
Oh my god..... When I was like 12 I remember that island in Spyro 3, and I was so certain something would be there, I tried everything on that level, exploring endlessly on a completed save file. I even had a theory that a whirlwind might appear where that hole is in the roof because after the end boss you get transported away by a whirlwind. On every other boss you got transported to a new area through various means and it was normally the next way to travel so it made sense in my mind. XD Not to mention that infamous 117% never sat right with me either. Thank you for this video, I actually feel a little bit of closure from seeing all this. Haha
In Spyro 2 in the Gulp boss fight, Gulp can eat the chickens to regain his health, and if you let him do this many times and you die, Zoe will appear before the fight and tells you to get the chickens to get your health back before Gulp does.
I've definitely heard the music that plays when you're idle for a while, almost on a nostalgic level. When I first played this game, I hadn't come to own a memory card yet so I'd have to leave the game on whenever we went somewhere else. Or even after getting distracted, I'd come back and hear one of those tracks.
I've seen all kinds of other cut content in demos and E3 videos of these games. Something that's still present in Spyro 3 is a door that doesn't even work to your right when you enter Midday Gardens. If you hack or glitch out of the level boundaries, you can see a hallway connected to where the door is, but if you go too close, it erases itself.
My favourite platformer of its time. And the name is pronounced Brian All-Guy-er, he is a pretty famous Insomniac employee, he was creative director for the Ratchet & Clank Future trilogy for example and also works as designer for the upcoming game.
I'm the type of player who takes her time A LOT, so I always hear the second bit of music in Ice Cavern. It was even worse when I was a kid because I was bad at Spyro--like, REALLY bad---so all the levels took me forever. I've heard all the alternate tracks by now.
Actually, the PAL version of Spyro 1 has 8 unique music tracks, 7 of them being remixes of what is already featured on the NTSC copy, and one brand new track. Spyro 2 was supposed to have another homeworld, where some of the finished Autumn Planes levels would go, along with a few unmade ones. And the original release of Spyro 3 was a total disaster.
I know what homeworld your talking about spring savannah right...the original creators have confirmed that there was no 4th homeworld developed during the making of spyro 2
@@NotOrdinaryInGames sorry for replying 9 months later, but nothing in the game points to the opposite. the 'fourth homeworld' is a complete fan theory that was proven wrong. in fact the earliest design documents for spyro 2 when it was still on paper and not even in full development (posted by former cerny games michael john on twitter a while back) included only 3 homeworlds, with the amount of levels and a theme for each already planned. they all made it into the final game in the exact order as they were on the early game maps, the only difference being the speedways weren't really planned out and they once planned for the four winter tundra worlds to contain unique talismans as well. please don't state fan theories as facts unless there is solid evidence to back it up because otherwise you're just spreading misinformation unnecessarily
There was a glitch I ran into during ripto's rage in the first world, Glimmer, with one of the spitting stones I hit the archway for the portal. (Pure boredom) The archway floated up through the opening in the roof, but never came back down. The portal itself was still there, but you could no longer exit though it.
I've discovered a glitch in Alpine Ridge for the PAL version, where after the music ends, you then begin to hear a short snippit of Jacques before going back to Alpine Ridge again.
This was really interesting. One time I encountered one of those hidden songs in Spyro 1 when I was playing it a few weeks ago. I'm pretty sure the second Shady Oasis challenge is legit, because it's the only level in that world with two orbs. I knew about most of the Spyro 3 cut content. Having the whirlwind there would be awesome.
This feels so weird for me, because I was playing this game a while ago for a review and kinda forgot about it, until now. It's like some kinda strange wake up call! But also, I really dig this video, dawg! A lot of people are starting to get into videos like this, where they discuss the game's mechanics or secret stuff hidden inside the coding. It does mean a lot of comedy is taken away game reviews, but it works very well in their favor. And this video works very well too, as I NEVER would have thought Spyro had a bunch of left-over songs, characters, and levels just sitting around in the coding. So very nice video!
That's something I actually struggle with! When it's the right time for comedy and when it's time to be serious. Can never get a full balance without the whole thing being JUST a serious or comedy video.
Riptos rage was called gateway to glimmer in New Zealand, the cut music was in this game I remember it very well, still have my game as well. The text was also in the game
2:45 so there IS a thing that happens when you're in a level for a long time and the music loops. I was lost gem hunting in one of the beast maker levels for a long time, and I noticed the music had changed. I thought I was going crazy.
Well.. yeah. I subscribed now. It was always strange to me why there are so little people focusing on cut content. Makes me really happy to have found this.
There may be a trick on how to get the alternate music to play earlier (or at least how it worked on my copy): Simply turn the music off before entering a level, then turn it back on in the new level.
You forgot about the unused fly-in animations for Spyro 3. There were originally going to be fly in cutscenes when you entered a level similar to the first game, except you got a overhead view of the beginning of the level. I cannot remember the name of the guy who actually found this, but he found it inside of a early demo version of the game.
I'm a huge fan of Spyro 2, it was pretty much my first game, at least the earliest I can remember really loving, and I actually saw that Glimmer outro cutscene! I remember it from when I was little and I never noticed it not appearing before and anything else suspicious, so I found a hidden scene without even knowing it! XD
I swear I was able to reach that Island in Spyro 3 using the whirlwind you were describing. I had the Greatest Hits version of the game so maybe they patched it in.
The cut music from spyro 1 was actually alternative versions of the original songs and most of them were really good. I kinda wish that they were put into the game
Either a Crash Bandicoot episode or a Rayman episode would be really interesting in the future. Since I've done both those trilogies it's be really cool to find out what things are hidden within them.
Well since apparently there's a HD remaster of the original trilogy coming this year, we will be able to see some of the cut content (minus the cursing and the text lol), put back into the game itself.
This is interesting, the Spyro trilogy has always been fascinating with how they went about making them. Not a lot of cut content but what's there is interesting, had no idea about the arena in Dino Mines!
Din't all of Spyro 1 have an alternate music track? I know because I recall after three-four repeats of the norm on any given level something new would play, I play alongside speedruns because I'm a sucker ={
i've heard all of the hidden tracks in the first game because it would take me FOREVER to get 100% in the levels of the game lol I don't think it's a glitch. Maybe it's more of a "Wow you're taking forever so here's some new music for your slow asS" or something
You also forgot to mention that there was originally going to be 120 dragons in the first game and that the final world, gnasty's world, was going to be called Machinists world and was going to be a full-fledged level. Some more cut content for Spyro 1 can be found here: krazykari.deviantart.com/art/Spyro-the-Dragon-Press-Kit-Overview-and-Features-504303714
i think the unused skellos and sunny beach music was used in the beta disc that was on a pizza hut beta compilation, since they were the levels in the beta.
how is it cut content if you have to visit Glimmer a second time anyway? you acquire the climb skill later in the game. and plus i've seen it everytime when i played through spyro 2 (i played the PAL version)
6:35 I have finished the game to 100% including all skill points multiple times and I have the epilogue in the Guidebook, but I've NEVER seen those unused enemies! o:O I assume it's only in the American version? I have the European game.
It's definitely also in the pal version. The epilogue is unlocked once you get 8 skill points, but the unused enemies only get unlocked if you have all 16. You propably missed some of the more obscure skill points like hitting ripto in gulp or taking three consecutive super charge rounds in fracture hills.
Great video as always Badman! I would love to see if there are any hidden stuff in the original Naughty Dog Crash games, or the PS2 series of Ratchet & Clank Games.
You forgot that the black label version of the game lacks the tracks for Evening Lake and The Sorceress boss theme and replaces them with the first overworld theme.
Nice video. I already knew about the music in the first game.... i actually thought they where normal parts of the game not extra. And aot of the dialog...lol also the spiders? My game plays those sounds. Also in spyro 3 with the whirlwind that is in my game so i dont know what happened to other peoples games and why they dont have those things in them o.o
the two songs you said were unused in the European soundtrack were either added into the american version or I had gotten weird copy of the game. I remember both those songs clearly. The cutscene for exiting the first level for a second time was in the game too. I remember this stuff pretty clearly from my childhood, I played on the "Greatest Hits" version of the game. I don't know if these things were added into the greatest hits version, (back in the day since you couldn't update a game over the internet you'd update the discs themselves and usually games only really got updated if they got a greatest hits version) or if I just had a bugged copy of the game or something.
90s Spyro was so cute, I really hope he gets a hd remake using his 90s design.
Wish granted

It's cool that that whirlwind in Midnight Mountain was included in the Reignited Trilogy.

fun fact, reignited brought back that whirlwind and the condition, while just for lives, the island can be reached as intended now.

Spyro 3 was always my favorite.
They added the secret island in reignited you can now get to it by defeating the sorceress (sorry for the bad english)
I know it’s pretty cool that they added that lost content
So glad I found your channel! Great work, man
I swear I was able to reach that Island in Spyro 3 using the whirlwind you were describing. I had the Greatest Hits version of the game so maybe they patched it in.
If you think these games had a lot of cut content THEN OH HOHO BOY YOU HAVEN'T SEEN ENTER THE DRAGONFLY
"ideas" of march? doesn't he mean the ides of march from the story about Caesar
Love your videos! Keep up the awesome work friend! 😄
"Beware of the ideas of March." 💀 Ides.
am I the only one who noticed the wild arms music at the beginning?
This is so exciting to hear!!! I love new classic Spyro stuff.

is the professor voiced by tom Kenny, because it sounds like if spongebob and the ice king's voices mixed together
Oh I actually seen that second glimmer cutscene
You forgot about 4th homeworld in Spyro 2. It was cut.
Surprisingly all the cut music and the end cutscene from Glimmer actually are in my European Spyro 2 copy.
In Spyro: Year of the dragon, there's also a baby dragon named "Shemp."

Mr. Mase007 i've seen it lot of times in the PAL version
I played the american greatest hits version and heard the two songs and saw the cutscene.
I have played through the game hundreds of times and never seen that cutscene in the pal version.

I hope they put some of these in the remaster. It'd be cool to see what that Dinomines rodeo would have been used for, along with other stuff.
how the hell did you manage to pronounce "ides" wrong
The 2 cut pieces of music for Spyro 2 sound very similar to the ones used in the Pizza Hut demo disc #2 something that might be worth looking into.

Do you know what that refrense is from
Can you do the Sly trilogy?
Decided to watch this after seeing Canadian Guy Eh's analysis video on the Spyro remaster.
Pretty sure it's pronounced "Nas-tee Nork", not "Guh-nasty" :)
I have an idea for cut content: I wanna see on GTA 3
Hopefully they add the cut content to the Remaster
Interesting. I hope the remakes, if they're happening, can restore some of this!
Great video, but you should work on your pronunciations of certain words.
nothere413 I died when he tried to say Ishmael
You forgot to mention the cut hubworld from Spyro2...
Please just go ahead and do this series for every N64/PS1 game ever
Djali Goat OK done!
spyro is my favorite trilogy of all time.
Now can you cover Enter The Dragonfly & A Heroes Tail on Cut Content?
Cool stuff! 👌
But wait, where do i go to reach the whirlwind to get to the island in Midnight Mountain?
