CORRECTIONS: 3:30 This was a bad example. I actually hit the very top part of the wall there. You'll know when this little annoyance actually happens, because Spyro will bonk on seemingly thin air while already on top of the ledge. 4:39 The beach is not exactly fully rendered. It's a seperate map from the actual minigame area. 4:58 As mentioned by Hershey Nation, this is actually supposed to be the top of the boss arena. Likely scenery meant to foreshadow the bossfight. 5:49 This crate DOES spawn gems, but they're for some reason displaced wayyy above the ground. You can only reach them with glitches after breaking the crate. 6:00 This does not only apply for the snowball. A surprising about of objects never unload no matter where Spyro is.
Here's what I think happened with the snow levels. >Intern models the floor. >Does a shitty job. >Rest of the team decides it kinda looks like Spyro is sinking into snow. >Doesn't fix it. I can genuinely see it being a case of people looking at a problem and thinking "eh, people won't notice."
I feel like I found most of these last time I played the game by accident, I think I actually thought some were intentional. It's a shame it was so rushed.
Same here. I found that torch exploit in Sunken Ruins when I was little, and I had no idea you were meant to activate the invincibility gadget beforehand.
Okay, since no one knows about this glitch, lemme share one I found as a kid: This glitch lets you fight Mecha-Red early. All you have to do, is go to the entrance of the fight, where the lasers are. On the right is a machine, and on Spyro's left, the panel against the wall isn't solid. You can literally walk right through it. You need to jump through and immediately glide left, towards the entrance to the fight. You'll be really low, but you'll be able to hit the trigger and start the fight. Of course, if you've already fought Red, the trigger won't be there and you'll fall into the void. Have fun!
There is a swim in the air glitch at Dragon Falls just before the Hunter section. The wall jump section has a corner you clip through when you fly to the top of the wall, then all you have to do is horn dive on the wooden corner and presto! This can also be used to play Hunters section AS Spyro!
Another trick. That one section of Dark Mine with the breakaway platforms and the steam jets can be done without freezing and pole spinning on the steam jets
Most of these I already knew but I did not have a computer at the time to zoom out and find those little oddities like about the volcano clipping through the stage. Made me laugh as it slowly tries to hide itself when you move the camera a certain way
Ah yes 1:30 careful gang representation I'm pretty sure 5:20 lines up with Ineptune's place! Though I don't think the green glow goes away after beating her.
Surprised you didn't mention the skip to instantly get to gnasty gnorc boss and that one long way to get to robot red's boss fight. The game can technically be completed with 0% dark gems lel Great vid!
I do know of all of those glitches, but this was more to showcase some minor stuff, rather than the major glitches. Notice that the title says "Miscellaneous". Also I had actually skipped a lot of the dark gems to get to certain parts of the game faster, because I didn't bother playing through it all again. Also thanks.
This was actually and still is the only Spyro game I love that was not developed by the oroginal developers that I thought was amazing. Although, one thing i hate about it, it's not fast paced. if spyro game ain't givin me game sickness i 'on want it.
Y'know I bet that trick in the very beginning of the video was done that way on purpose. Pretty cool, I wish games let you break the rules like that more often
Thanks to the game's autosave feature, I accidentally found a glitch that can make your save file essentially useless when you're in the game's 3rd realm
It does have a Sequel or Sequels. I consider Spyro Orange( This Game in my Opinion is After This game and Before the next one) and Spyro Shadow Legacy( After Spyro Orange) Sequels to Spyro a Heros Tail.
Did it happen to occur on top of the wall jump pillars in the area with the vultures? The top of one of those pillars doesn't have proper collision, and you can fall right through it with proper positioning.
@@EbbeAHT i cant fully remember but i remember it was beside one of those tall rocky pillars i was just walking and boom fell through and i was like well rip to me LOL
@@krystalwilliams841 Hmm, then it might not be what i'm thinking of. Can you remember what you did to make it happen specifically? Did it happen near a wall or something?
@@EbbeAHT yeah when it happened right at the base of one of the pillars, i know i didnt walk right up to the base it seemed like a solid block that was invisible then i fell through
@@Lacking_ If you mean you went under the water, and didn't get frozen, then there's a perfectly logical explanation. Water extends down a bit from the surface, so spyro can enter if from below or from the sides. However, it can be cancelled out by another surface, so it won't extend all the way down. In this freezing water there's a floor just beneath the surface, so you can stay under there without being in the water hitbox, since it gets cancelled by this floor. The reason I get frozen in the video is because i hit a small section of the water that doesn't have a floor beneath it, so it extends down, and i can touch it.
Dolphin is pretty accurate, but I won't rule out the possibility that some glitches and oddities were due to emulator bugs. I have tested a bunch of these on a real PS2 though.

Ebbe sailing is hit
5:26 I always thought that this was done on purpose, to make Spyro look like he's in a deep snow :)
Yeah I did for a while too, but that doesn't explain why he floats above the ground sometimes
Here's what I think happened with the snow levels.

>Does a shitty job.

I love coastal Remains and frostbite village music
Actually, I’m pretty sure that scrapped content in coastal remains is supposed to be the boss stage! c,:
oh wow, never thought of that. that makes perfect sense actually. thanks for mentioning that, always wondered what it was!
you’re welcome!!

It is very well known - it is used in speedruns. Thanks for sharing anyway!
@@EbbeAHT No worries :)

There are several.

This is fantastic! Replaying the game again after so many years, and these tips are great. Thanks so much for sharing this :)

In frostbite village I always thought the ground that you clipped into was supposed to be you walking in deep snow
Well there are already intended deep snow spots in the level, plus that doesn't explain where Spyro floats above the ground.
Pretty good video, shows that this game definitely isn't perfect but definitely is a hell of a lot of fun haha
1:30
Wait, but I always did this. Are you saying that this isn't the right way?
Ah yes 1:30 careful gang representation
I'm pretty sure 5:20 lines up with Ineptune's place! Though I don't think the green glow goes away after beating her.

Ah alright
This was definitely entertaining to watch
There's so many lets plays of this I've watched and i don't get how literally no one knows you can jump on the torches in sunken ruins
Well it's not exactly intentional.
I never knew this before I saw the video ksdhahkfh
@@EbbeAHT I forgot I wrote this comment. Lol.
06:11 They see me rollin... they`re hatinggg lol :D

Spyro Attack of the Rhynocs and Spyro Season of Flame were also Great Spyro Games.
Speaking of Sgt Bird He is also Playable in Spyro Attack of the Rhynocs.
Y'know I bet that trick in the very beginning of the video was done that way on purpose. Pretty cool, I wish games let you break the rules like that more often
Oh dude that robonaut on that Little box in dark mine is so annoying to kill but.....
Just shoot a lightning bomb at him EASY

How did you enable cheats? Did you use cheat engine or program it yourself? I mean the zoomed camera
This was played on the Dolphin Emulator, which has a nifty Freecam option. Try it out on some of your favorite games, it's quite fun.
Not gona lie I wuld love to see this game get an sequel then Enter the dragon fly or even an revamp
It does have a Sequel or Sequels. I consider Spyro Orange( This Game in my Opinion is After This game and Before the next one) and Spyro Shadow Legacy( After Spyro Orange) Sequels to Spyro a Heros Tail.
0:46 there is another
Very nice video!!!😍😍
i've seen and done all of these. neat there's a video about them.
If you jump on metal crates and windshield you slip through them
Yup. This actually also applies to Hunter's bow deflect move.
Their was a glitch i found in dragonfly falls i walked on a certain part of the ground and i fell through the ground into the skybox

@@krystalwilliams841 Can you describe the "pillars" in a bit more detail? There aren't many pillars that are rocky in Dragonfly Falls.
You can become invincible if you touch the freezing water on the right spot I’ve only done it once
The freezing water I showed in the video?
Ebbe in the second realm boss room after going down the stairs
@@Lacking_ Yes, that's the water I showed in the video. Do you mean hitting it from out of bounds?
Ebbe yes
@@Lacking_ If you mean you went under the water, and didn't get frozen, then there's a perfectly logical explanation.

No fair, he used an emulator (I think)
