As well as opening portals or granting access to certain areas, Moneybags also teaches Spyro three brand new abilities over the course of the game.
Gems gathered throughout the game are required to pay fees laid out by the greedy Moneybags in order to progress through the game. These orbs are required for opening some of the portals to certain levels, as well as progressing through the third hub world. Each level also contains a certain number of orbs, which can be earned by completing secondary tasks for particular NPCs, such as lighting a series of lamps or protecting characters from attacks. In order to progress through the first two hub worlds, the player must acquire a talisman from each realm, which is awarded for reaching the end of the level, before facing the boss of each world. The game is split up into three main hub worlds containing portals to various realms. Bottled butterflies will both completelty restore Sparx’s health and give Spyro an extra life. Like the previous game, Spyro’s health is indicated by the color of his dragonfly partner, Sparx, who can replenish his health by eating butterflies. The game controls like a classic PS1 game as he fights against various enemies and obstacles using his flame breath, charge attack, and glide abilities. With peace returned to Avalar, Elora and the others fix the portal device, allowing Spyro to take his long awaited vacation to Dragon Shores. Ripto then manages to steal a power crystal, which was used to power the large portal device, which he uses to create a new scepter for himself, but Spyro manages to defeat him as well. Currently stranded in Avalar as a result of Ripto destroying the portal he came in through, Spyro agrees to help fight against him, gathering up talismans from the various realms of Avalar in order to confront and defeat Crush and Gulp.
Pleased to find himself in a world without dragons, Ripto decided to take over Avalar, prompting Elora and the others to summon a dragon to fight against him. They explain that whilst experimenting with a large portal device, they inadvertently summoned an evil tyrant known as Ripto, along with his lackies Crush and Gulp. Upon going through the portal, however, Spyro ends up in the fantasy realm of Avalar, having been summoned there by Elora the Faun, Hunter the Cheetah, and a Professor. Spyro the Dragon and his dragonfly partner Sparx, feeling tired of it raining all the time, decide to take a vacation to Dragon Shores. It was released November 5th 1999 in the EU and all together the Spyro series has sold over 20 million units world wide.
Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer (Also known as Ripto’s Rage in NA) is a Platformer developed by Insomniac Games and was published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the Playstation 1.
