This is insane bro. I'd like to see how this compares to the remastered version in terms of the time difference for the run. It would be interesting to see if they kept any of these tricks you use throughout the game
The reignited trilogy is quite different as its built from scratch in a modern engine. It isn't based off the original codebase in any way, meaning all the quirks and glitches used the originals don't translate. There are a few moments where the routes through certain areas line up though.

No Spyro completion category requires skillpoints as they do not contribute to the completion total. Spyro 2 and 3 do have separate all skillpoint categories however.
Newbie question. How do you have the flame burst power up on all the time? I had to play with just fire breath for most of the game which makes it more difficult IMO.
You can see the process of me getting it starting at 9:53. In short, I skip into Dragon Shores and get out of bounds to acquire the infinite fireball powerup. Usually it's the reward for 100%ing the game, but you can get it early.
@Bluntbows RAD man. I just 100% the game myself yesterday for the first time. Never played it before. I missed the infinite power up at the end. Well done, though.
You are absolutely amazing! I'm totally mind blown. Is this the US version release or the Japan version release? I've been wondering how did you manage to do all those things. I mean, I've been playing that multiple times already way back when I was a kid. I don't remember experiencing those glitches. I actually haven't tried those flame, charge, and jump combo that's why I didn't know those things could be done nor have I tried those areas that cause glitches the same way you did by jumping from one boss battle to another. But I did tried the gliding and clinging to walls and in each time I do that, I would immediately fall but in your run, Spyro just keeps on clinging to the wall. I've been wondering that part. Also the part when you charge then jump, I don't understand how you can jump so high that seemed impossible because whenever I do that, Spyro would just bump into a wall and I ended up falling. Was there a cheat or something? Sorry for my question. I don't mean to doubt. I'm just curious how you managed to that because my experience was way different when I did those similar things. Hehehehe.
I'll try to answer some things. Most of it comes from a lot of practice. This is the US release. The trick where I cling to walls known as a sproderman (spiderman/spyro). It's a super cool movement technique that can be used almost anywhere, but it's a bit weird to get used to. It's pretty much only known to speedrunners. Here's a video: th-cam.com/video/icDVVj5L6Pk/w-d-xo.html I also have a "sproder into ripto" video on my channel with an input display. The "charge jump" is known as a double jump. It is done by holding x to jump, and then mid way through the jump while still holding x, hold square. You can't be holding a direction input or it'll kill the double jump. The timing of the square press is important when it comes to getting optimal height. Here's an old movement guide if you feel like learning some stuff: th-cam.com/video/We3NOzyTJwo/w-d-xo.html There are no cheats used here. This was played on a PS2. Everything can be done on original hardware or an emulator.
@@Bluntbows Wow! Thank you for clearing this for me. The first time I played Spyro 2 game was on year 2001 and I kept on playing it multiple times and have finished it multiple times. The only Spyro I haven't played was Spyro 1 and Spyro 3, I failed to finish because it has a lot of glitch. Every time I go to one world to another, some of my previously collected eggs disappear that's why I can't complete or finish the game. It was very frustrating for me. Anyway, going back, the last time I played Spyro 2 was in year 2004 when we still had our PS 1 up and running. 2006 was when I started college and I no longer play our PS 1 game console since it was already broken. I never managed to buy a new game console since I was already busy with my studies and work and all, but thanks to your speed run, it made me recall my old games especially Spyro 2 and I never mangaged to pull off those tricks. Your speed run was amazing and nostalgic. Thanks for sharing to me your techniques and tips. At the very least, I was able to solve the mystery since I was not able to do that at all despite finishing the game multiple times already. Heheheheh.
@@Bluntbows when you say "this was done on a PS2" you mean the tricks you described? Because this specific run shown in this video is definitely not a PS2 version 😅
I beat this in 1:02 once. It was 17 years ago. I never thought to record it.... I discovered a bug but it honestly may have been the specific disk - now the disk freezes.......
@Bluntbows yeah I mean... I also beat halo infinite and got all the achievements on the day of release. Turns out I skipped 3 missions. Granted games are shit now, but I have a knack of flying through the world. Sly 2 band of theives? I could be #7 WR, but they won't allow it lol. I just have a unique console perhaps? Only legit run they allow that I can do is dead space. Totally different console ha. I can easily be number 1 on that. I should try... I tend to no clip on ps1, ps2, and shitbox one
There's a "No Major Skips" category which has you beating the game in the correct world order. It exists outside of the main board categories however and isn't very popular. Record is 1h 59m 21s.
@@declanmoloney2896 Getting to Winter Tundra as soon as possible is important because you're able to get permanent superflame in Dragon Shores, then beat Ripto, which awards extended Sparx range, all abilities (swim, climb, and headbash), and removes all Moneybags payments from the game.
It would be interesting to know how many hours and nights it took to create the world record? To achieve this level of skill probably takes 500-1000 hours? most likely more
Wild estimate would be about 800-1000 hours (including practice) over the 10 months I ran the category. That's a super rough guess though, I can't really say for sure.
i know theres that adaptive difficulty in spyro 3, not sure if its in spyro 2. but do you know how it affects speedruns? or is it relatively a non-issue?
Adaptive difficulty was introduced in Spyro 3 and it does effect runs. I'm not really knowledgeable on the subject but it's pretty intricate system. There's a guy called DoctorAnsem within the Spyro community who has looked into it pretty deeply.
The only documented adaptive difficulty in Spyro 2 is if you die *a lot* in a boss fight. Zoe will give you extra dialog hinting at staying alive, fodder drops on blue sparx instead of green, and you can even do double damage. The only way this was found was spending like an hour in the boss fight though so it's not part of the run. clips.twitch.tv/RespectfulSquareWebCorgiDerp

I dont think i ever realized how good sparx is at grabbing gems until watching this
Sparxs gem grab range gets expanded when you beat ripto hence why soeedruns best ripto this early.
maaaan, going back to watch this compared to your S1 runs, it's insane just how much better Sparx's gem grabbing is in this.
Yeah beating Ripto gives sparx a massive range upgrade in Spyro 2. Even without it he's a lot more powerful than in the first game though.
Oh wow, honestly completely forgot about that.
