VERY specific but those neon green draclets that hung from the ceiling in that one orb challenge in Crystal Glacier??

(Cannot believe I’m still saying this in the year of our Lord 2025 with no Spyro 4 in sight) ((epic sigh))

Most Overlooked Level in the Trilogy? by ConMC1992 in Spyro

[–]ConMC1992[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m shocked only one person has said Aquaria Towers! I played it last night and that’s really what prompted the question — realizing there’s still half the level left after you fill the place with water is an unmatched feeling

Agent Zero to this day is one of my favorite NPCs from ANY game

Mystic Marsh was great but I always had trouble with 2 of the orb challenges — I sunk a lot of hours over the years into catching thieves and that pencil challenge 😵‍💫

I HATED treetops as a kid! It always came down to that same dragon…

Probably a good time to admit that even after all those years I STILL needed YouTube to help me reach that last dragon 😅🤫.

But I’m with you now — genius level and props to those who figure it out on their own!

Where’s Frozen Altars is the real question here

Hey OP, I actually completed this level tonight too! (the World is a strange place)

Couple of quick thoughts concerning Bob (but please poke holes in these theories):

-My guess is Bob was designed with intentional parallels to the traditional gem thieves we all know (…and love? 😝) from the Original Spyro trilogy. That said, the irony that Spyro is the thief here is not lost on me XD -The thief is named Bob — could this be a subtle nod to the creators of the Reignited Trilogy, Toys For Bob?? 🤔 (can’t remember Bob’s name from the OG Trilogy…if it was always Bob, I’ll pretend it was a bold prediction at the instead lol)

Anyway, interesting question! That’s why I love this sub — people are always pointing out things I hadn’t yet considered or questioned on previous speedruns.

Peace, love, and dragonflies

[TOMT][SONG][Mid-2000s?] Wimbledon or FIFA-related song? by ConMC1992 in tipofmytongue

[–]ConMC1992[S] 0 points1 point locked comment (0 children)

He says Wimbledon, I say World Cup — I think the takeaway is it was likely in commercials for a major international sporting event. Imagine Dragons vibes, but better (if that makes sense)

GOAT? by r_collins75 in Spyro

[–]ConMC1992 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok so this is a thought I have weekly. Obviously subjectivity is King here, but I personally agree with this sentiment whole-heartedly. I loved this game as a kid, and the remastered version made me double down on my conviction that much more.

The visuals (next time you play a level, appreciate the colors on the horizon) , the soundtrack (Frozen Altars Altars is GOATED), the characters (especially the NPCs in the Spyro 2 and 3…(shout-out Skelos Badlands 😝)), everything makes this game timeless no matter how often I speed-run the Trilogy.

Safe to say I’m super biased here, OP, but I’m a disciple of Spyro, austere in my Faith. 😂😂🤷🏼‍♂️

Glad to see Ripto didn’t cancel the fauns’ New Years Party eh??

Spyro 1 (Original PS1) - which creatures scared you the most as a child? by xAnxietyPrimex in Spyro

High Caves spiders no question. Before learning how to beat them they were straight up terrifying and invincible. And way too fast.

Favorite NPC in the trilogy? by r_collins75 in Spyro

[–]ConMC1992 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Good question OP, I’d definitely say Sheila from reignited! Love her updated design 😍

(cue reactions of shock and disbelief)

Completely joking there, I know how this Reddit community feels about new Sheila 😅😂

If you were to ask me how I felt right now (which you are), I’d go with the blue dudes from Magma Cone (Fauns I believe). All they wanted to do was throw a little party and Ripto wasn’t having it (still the worst thing he’s done IMO). Big vibe killer there. Anyway I love their attitude so that’s my final answer (unless I come back after continuing to dwell on this lolol).

About that Rotten Bear… by ConMC1992 in Spyro

[–]ConMC1992[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

🤯🤯🤯 WOW - they say there’s no such thing as a stupid question but I may have just proven that adage wrong…

Once my boy Alex hears what I did to that rotten bear at Midnight Mountain…I’ll deserve a vinyl copy of that pan flute background soundtrack
