here look over here oh so yeah you know I agree Shadow the Hedgehog not not the worst Sonic games I just had a million subscribers [Music] one million subscribers what the hell is that about thank you so much everyone but also what the hell is wrong with you that is a number that I never thought I would ever reach in my lifetime on YouTube and it's a bit too special to not dedicate a full video towards celebrating but what shall I do a video on it's got to be important it's got to be grand It's gotta say I've reached 1 million subscribers what should it be I've already made the video and I don't know so I will go to America right now and ask all of my friends foreign [Music] [Applause] [Music] guys for this video I want to cover every single Spyro game known to existence on every portable and Main console is that a good idea oh no look who it is it's him it's Simon the door yes of course I was going to talk about Spyro when I hit a million Subs I've only been promising that since your Labrador was born it's dead now there is a reason I've avoided everything to do with Spyro up until now though because he's easily the most requested thing I've ever had to talk about on my channel ever since I started it so for the sake of saving it for something special I always told myself not yet purple prince I'll save you for one million so come on you blokes let's get him out Spyro it's finally time [Music] save money on my mum's hip replacement and let's be honest everybody loves Spyro that's why he was so requested who doesn't love him you do don't you wizzy Jesus exactly the thing is though I don't want to get too over excited there's a lot of Spyro games out there that I could make multiple videos about we're far beyond the days of 2012 and me only covering the first three games for us no I'm gone so for this special I am going to stick to the main console games and the main portable games go through each and every one of them chronologically and then show you why Spyro games make me wood [Music] [Music] part one purple is gay right so first off no matter if you like Spyro or hate his guts you cannot deny the iconic status of this box art this color scheme this art style it's so PlayStation it is perfect I would change a thing about it why is that there the story of Spyro 1 is that the Press have gone over to the dragon Realms to interview the dragons about a wretched old Boyle known as nasty Nork and they decide to make fun of him on live TV besides got a real Kanye West over it now how did nasty hear that Savage diss all the way from his house well you have to remember this was way back in the 90s and everybody thought TVs worked like telephones don't forget TVs had only been around for 70 years because of that nasty norcasa crystallizing spell on every dragon in the Kingdom except for Spyro because uh luckily for us though Spyro is purple and purple is a sick color everything purple kicks ass which means Spyro runs off to Kick-Ass which means the game itself would inevitably kick ass except his voice that that doesn't really kick anything aside from my face is it because of his color did they give him a chain-smoking teenager's voice because no one would think he was cool for being purple that's outrageous some of the best things in life are purple like bruises and ringworm Destiny I just want to kick some just toast those enemies and collect the treasure see kids Spyro is cool he nearly said bottom in Simon one you skip around luscious open environments unless the Game Stops you with the big shapes smashing all of your Nan's China with your head gliding from Island to Island setting sheep on fire occasionally fighting a boss cracking open old man probably run off to nasty's Lair to spit roast him that nasty knock is toast yeah he is and honestly that's kind of it this is a fairly standard collectathon platformer from the time find as many gems dragon eggs and crystallized perverts as possible in order to unlock more Hub worlds to find as many gems dragon eggs and crystallized perverts as possible but Simon does have some tricks up his sleeve to stick out above your banjo kazooies and your super Martins let's go Yahoo in case you didn't notice Spyro is a dragon and that means he has five unique things that make the game work entirely on their own one dangly skin Simon not only jumps like every other knob head but by hitting jump again can use the loose parts of his back to Glide long distances all the way to Scotland this isn't only an extremely fun and liberating thing to do in every Spyro game but allows the level design to focus not just on horizontal flat Landscapes now you can have Giants sprawling and Tall levels based on verticality you see that glimmering secret pile of treasure fire out there well if you get yourself high enough somewhere else in that level and not from a weed you may be able to reach it it's not even a case of you finding the one single place to cross that one single Gap turning the Glide function into a situational invisible Bridge either you can glide off of any surface in any direction which means the designers can hide more secrets in more creative places and gives you a breathtaking sense of freedom and adventure in each level which can also be tense as hell whenever I'm about to make a risky looking Glide I always have this Inner Fear of oh my God I want that stuff over there but is my Glide going to be high enough to reach it well I guess there's only one way to find out so here I go but once I'm gone I'm committed so I have to be confident okay God I'm not gonna make it am I oh God Simon you're gonna die I'm so sorry Simon this is my fault you're flying slowly towards your coffin and you're seeing it happen right in front of your eyes but a powerless to do anything oh no please don't look at me Simon I'm sorry please please stop making me oh my guilt please please stop looking at me who bad breath instead of any clumsy jumps or precise melee attacks Simon uses a wide close range fire breath attack to kill the enemy norks or break open baskets for gems not only a really fun thing to do but it looks cool leaves little black ashes behind and basically guarantees a hit if you're facing the general direction of the breath since it has such a wide girth three the horn Simon can use his horns for even more utility than the flame breath it can break metal vases and baskets attack basic knocks no problem and gives you a speed boost which makes basic running around much more thrilling and quick when you need to get a move on with your little buff 4. whirlwinds if you jump into a whirlwind the camera moves downwards and lets you look right up Spyro's five small thing that isn't a dragon and has nothing to do with dragons at all that wispy little skinny lemon Sparks the dragonfly and he is your health bar somehow yellow means you've got four hits left blue is three hits left green is two hits left gone is one hit left and then you keep yourself healthy by murdering smaller creatures that have no ways of fighting back just like in real life but honestly I couldn't care less about HealthPoint I just want Sparks to look yellow as often as possible because blue and yellow look like spoiled cheese I don't want Sparks to look ill so I give him as many butterflies as possible I will even go all the way back to the beginning of an empty level to top him up if I have to no small animal is too far away for me to gut in fact we do it just for fun in our spare time don't we Scott what you can say that again but here's where things get interesting on their own the moves the Spyro can pull off are pretty sweet but when you mix them together whoa you get big enemies that can only be flamed and armored enemies that can only be charged with your horns then you get enemies that are too big to charge but also armored from your flame so a new weakness needs to be discovered you get collectible dragon eggs that are stolen by thieves that are too quick to be flames so need to be charged towards all over the level while they go this noise triggers my stomach acids you get supercharged panels on the floor to make your charge get faster and faster than more time you spend on the panels and the more time you spend on the panels the further your jump and glide becomes and it's because of that example in particular why I love levels like Treetops because once you get going it's like yeah most people hate it but you're all [ __ ] sure it takes me a few attempts to remember the roots and I die a few times every time I come back to it after a while but the satisfaction of finding the correct starting point of a supercharged panel jumping over to another Island to keep gaining speed on another supercharged panel and then making that one final gigantic Glide over to the hardest to reach area of the whole game is ingenious and incredible to get right the game isn't full of stuff like this but when it is it Nails it and makes me go I even like the little balance things going on with how you control Spyro like flame breathing for example being an easier and safer attack to do against baskets and enemies but the trade-off for that is that everything is slower and the gems that drop from them float up into the air in full Loops but if you try and go for a risky charge attack as much as possible you'll find it's not only faster but then the gems will follow immediately after you once you break the basket or kill the enemy I even love how you can charge different barrels towards the end of the game to attack them then you get those one-off bonus levels for each world that turns the game into a free flying time trial of Destruction these will be known from now on as Speedways why can't Simon fly all over the place whenever he wants any other point in the game because you ask too many questions actually it's most likely because whenever he does fly on his own he can get ah this is the reason people still love the original Spyro PS1 series even until today it's the fine mix of all of these moves to make the series a blast to play with a couple of extra references to other games for good measure I always believed in you spiral you gotta believe the charm of the world around you is off the charts too and there's so much detail put into the tiniest things if you charge into a ball instead of flaming it it'll get stuck in the ground by its horns if you move up a steep hill Simon's walk cycle changes set fire to cacti and watch them shake the ashes off watch enemies capture smaller creatures and then get too distracted celebrating to attack you see how terrified enemies look as you walk towards them but once you look away from them they oh oh oh he loved his fat ass seriously though there are nocs everywhere and nearly every single level gives you a different variant of them which the game really didn't need to do there's nocs with swords norks with clubs norks with flags norks with tasers knocks with guns norgs with guns Daisy does it easy does it I'm too small and I can't reach that also I'm British which means you probably hate me but it also means that I love saying the word norc The Hills Have norks the castles have norks the harbors have norks the fairies have Knocks you know what's sad as well in the reignited trilogy remake they got rid of the Norks with guns and replaced them with purple water pistols oh come on now what you don't like seeing guns in your video games what are you a a Cut quote and hey I may really dislike Spyro's voice in this game but the other dragons you rescue are another thing entirely tomorrow my friend how about a hint on gliding how about you get far I love all of these guys they're only ever on screen for like five seconds each but they're the most memorable part of the game for me ever since you're a wee puffy smoke we've known ah I forget they mostly serve as hints and tips when you find them even though the hints are all horrible big enemies like this gnoc with the club cannot be charged but a quick flame that should defeat them yes I already killed that guy to rescue you what are you talking about did you know that you get your longest Glides by pressing X at the very top of your jump how do you think I got here flame won't harm middle but charging with your horns that should do the trick this is world two I've been doing this for the last six levels are you senile be careful Spyro this boss has many tricks up his sleeve what does that mean some big norcs up ahead are wearing armor I don't blame them they're very sensitive the best line in the entire game though easily goes to Cletus my man Cletus what does he say Spyro it's great to see you but I've got to go foreign bye then you know what all of the dragon's favorite thing is to say though thank you for releasing me I swear that most of these smelly lizards say this line on repeat and by the end of the game nearly every single one of them says it you want to see how many I found thank you for releasing me thank you for releasing me thank you for releasing me thank you for releasing me thank you for releasing me thank you for releasing me thank you for releasing me thank you for releasing me thank you for releasing me thank you for releasing me thank you for releasing me thank you for releasing me thank you for releasing me but don't worry not all of them say thank you some of them say thanks thanks for releasing me it's really a shame though that as a game itself Spyro one is just all right welcome to my Arabian toilet yeah despite my accolades I actually don't think Spyro one is that great mainly because of how primitive and stripped back it feels especially compared to the sequels which isn't Spyro one's fault but I'm blaming him anyway and I don't care what you say because I'm friends with the super popular YouTuber Vsauce too aren't I Kevin you may kiss the bride oh hey GMC he even calls me by my real name like my mummy when she's upset with me you know it's weird it always surprises me when I remember that the first Spyro came out in 1998. this wasn't an early PlayStation title and yet I think it feels like one there's just something missing I can't explain it there's no gimmicks no major surprises I mean I do love Simplicity and games that are to the point but with cartoony collect-a-thon Johnny John Spiro the Johnson the Simplicity holds it back for me especially when you compare it to the following games Spyro one feels really plain just like how crash one feels compared to crash 2 and by 1998 crash 3 had already perfected the crash formula whereas Spyro was just getting his feet wet and when spyra gets his feet wet he dies the collect-a-thon gameplay Loop is pretty basic and it gets a bit samey for me after world too with not much Variety in what you actually do aside from more dangerous Glides and slightly different enemies and for as much as I love the visual style the presentation itself also gets a little bit too samey for me aside from that oh these things can get royally [ __ ] off too what are these things why do they look like that how do they slide around so quickly ah get off me you radish no matter how many times I replay this game I can never remember the names of levels or tell them apart by screenshots they just don't leave much of a lasting impact on me I don't think there's anything entertaining or that endearing about the characters and story Spyro's voice I think I smell a barbecue makes me want to [ __ ] down a chimney the sound effects feel really wet and sloppy without much impact or crunch the charge controls are pretty damn loose and slippery the charging jump height is shorter than a stand for a toddler trying to reach a sink the Glide can sometimes feel really heavy that doesn't always make its Target even when you feel like it should and then there's all the little things that add up over the course of the game you hit these and then jump over them to get the gems why it's awkward if you miss it you just do it again waste of time these things you breathe fire on over and over again until they pop pointless why am I doing this waste of time this rolling mechanic useless I only find it handy on these single dog enemies on this single level because everything chases you down anyway even if you rolled wasted buttons then you have the soundtrack composed by one of my favorite drummers of all time Stuart Copeland it's a soundtrack beloved by basically everyone and I think it's [Music] oh my God yes it's that Stuart Copeland the drummer from the all-time classic rock band the policeman and look I don't hate the music it's good music in fact it's one of Barry Kramer's favorites and he's going to play a little bit of it for us right now what's hanging away I don't get the undying love for this game's soundtrack in particular I think it's way too spacious and Meandering for the kind of game that this is and if you tied a rope around my neck and asked me to match which songs go with what levels or else you'll hang me I'd say I don't know but then I'd say that anyway because I don't mind this don't get me wrong though and the visuals and music come together into a gourmet creamy cereal it's downright incredible now with added hair I go to example being Dark Hollow in world one [Music] but as a whole I just don't dig the soundtrack that much it's well constructed it's well performed and there are some great tracks here I just can't remember most of it and I don't think it matches the gameplay that well and these bosses or these bosses these absolute garbage fire f-tier bosses F of fairy stinky these are the worst parts of the game for me they aren't bosses they're regular levels that are really small with slightly stronger enemies that I wouldn't let near a school first boss toasty he's a scarecrow that is actually a sheep on stilt hit him three times he does nothing these regular dog enemies are more dangerous than him second boss Dr Shemp hit his back after jumping over like two attacks third boss blow hard more like blow chunks fourth Boss Metal Head charge into metal poles that aren't electrified you win boss five Jacques do some platforming and then question why the hell he has a regular French name final boss nasty knock is sadly just as easy to kill as any other regular norc you chase him he does nothing you win when the edge of the walkway is more threatening than the final boss you know you've balls there at least you got a pretty sweet reward for 100 in the game though you get access to nasty's loot the only actual free-flying level where you just explore everywhere blow up everything and steal all of his treasure thanks for the stimulus check nasty breasts and the credits roll ah Nostalgia you know even though this isn't my favorite Spyro game and I do have problems with it I do like it a lot still to this day I enjoy this game and every time I reach this credit sequence and hear this music and watch all the low poly flyby level camera stuff going on it lets me know that I made a good choice in picking up this game to replay it again no sheep were harmed during the creation of this game no you're lying you cooked them up and you sent them pyro one is a classic no doubt but at the end of the day even though I've got a lot of nostalgia for it this is not the game that I replay whenever I feel like a bit of him it's better than crash one for a first attempt but it still feels like a first attempt you're a first attempt oh no who is that I'm the amazing where to go the amazing wendigo no where look they made another Spyro game [Music] now this this is where [ __ ] starts getting good thank you the amazing wet where'd he go oh [ __ ] yes you Lads it's Spyro two he's back and I'm back look alive everyone it's simon2 ripped my ropes or as I personally know it Simon too great a garden to be honest I prefer the European name of gateway to glimmer against ripto's rage but I will admit it is strange glimmer is just the first level of the game you're never looking for a gateway to it that'd be like if this was called Crash Bandicoot sand straight away we've got much better cutscenes with actual story in them and boom bang Bing we've got new characters who are better than anything we saw in Spyro one you've got the professor who's a bastard mole digging up all of my laws you've got a Laura who's a four new dork and Hunter the cheetah who always looks like he wipes with his fingers even Simon's voice is improved is this rain ever gonna stop I've forgotten what the Sun looks like if you don't know that is the voice of Tom Kenny and if you don't know who that is I'll give you a hint now they've set up force fields to separate us if you can find diodes you can use them to turn off the force fields one thing though why only in the cutscenes does it sound like the voice actors are spitting into the mics that's exactly the point a dragon is our only chance of stopping ripto that he bought a bottom better butter better than the bitter butter so she put it in her bitter butter oh there's also the new Baddie riptoe who is very small and angry and that's basically all there is to him I never really understood the love for him as a villain I'm sorry and these three bozos accidentally summoned him to to their world so intercepted Spyro on the way to his holiday oh sorry vacation yeah your best friends in this game kidnap you and hold your holiday hostage until you fix their big messy thanks so much you woman donkey Spyro 2 as a game though is basically Spyro one again but everything is better literally everything it's like jumping from Crash one to crash two or pre-vomit to post vomit and I'm far from the only person that thinks that right dread X because I hate Spyro 2 and Spyro 3 is somehow even worse yeah you're right there's just so many quality of life changes here it's not even funny and it all comes together perfectly to make me go the Glide Falls a little bit slower to make long jumps easier the charge controls a lot tighter and lets you jump higher while charging to make rushing around levels twice as easy Sparks the dragonfly picks up gems from further away he eats Butterflies from burned animals much faster than Spyro one the camera moves around you a bit faster the sound effects are gutier and have more punch to them all right and on top of the updates to existing ideas there's all of the new stuff added in too like Auto saving which was a massive deal because back in those days we didn't have it instead of the stop immediately as flat on the floor triangle move you could do mid Glide in Simon one now you have a hover move to give you extra time to correct a Glide and give you a tad more height and distance at the end of your Glide now instead of getting extra lives from the life clam while Sparks is at full health you can stack him with multiple burned animals to eventually give you a life if you eat enough Spyros can spit enemies now don't drop gems to collect and instead add to a defeated enemy tally that can help you unlock a temporary power-up specific to that level giving you way more chances for supercharging alongside brand new powers like spring jumping projectile super breath attacks and temporary flight in the level and speaking of levels you now only need to collect one thing at the end of the stage to beat it with optional missions dotted around each level awarding you orbs that can be used to unlock further levels bosses and secrets and they can sometimes be centered around the platforming that Spyro does best or something totally new and different like hockey matches against this freak various puzzles hidden around the stage or blowing up a load of UFOs piloted by and to top it all off when you collect everything you get a little dote the speedway stages return and are exactly the same as previously okay that wasn't new I'm sorry I don't know why I mentioned but now after you beat the main time travel challenge you can then freely explore the speedway level without a time limit to find secret hidden characters to talk to that then give you more unique old missions that change up the gameplay even more and then you can end your day by being a flag-burning filthy hippie yeah down with down down with vegetables oh yeah there's also way more cutscenes now too some for entertaining story bits and others for whenever you enter and exit a new level just to give them that extra dash of personality and depth to them I like them you see what the problems are in the level before you get there help them out then you fix the problem and see what happens after you leave the level it's like mini stories within the main story it's really cute but as a kid I hated the Aquaria Towers one poor little seahorse dying from lack of water and being baited over and over again for a drink he never gets just give him the damn water you wretch this is a saw three what's cool though is that every level has inhabitants to talk to now and they're nearly all fully voice acted the only other thing you could interact with in Simon one was the balloonist and sorry man not only did you not actually speak but you were only ever good for being a stepladder even the fairy checkpoint talks to you now she's called Zoe and she likes to pitch-shift her voice at random that that means that if you get into trouble I'll return you to this place each time you defeat an enemy it will release a spirit particle what's up with you Zoe have you got a bad cough the water workers have boxed up most of our baby turtles the boxes are incredibly strong oh no what are we going to do Gromit but then there's another character introduced in this game that would go on to become a Spyro staple a character that dredges up the worst of a human being a character that inspires fear hatred spite bags hello there Spyro would you like to learn to swim underwater I suppose I could teach you for a small fee money bags is a round bell end seems to exist everywhere all at once on every level and only lives for one thing locking things away from you and stealing your gems in order to unlock them for you that's all he is he's a fat greedy barrier that has no conscience no dignity and only cares about monkey monkey [Music] he is a leech a stain he's an alt-right Winnie the Pooh that converted a generation of kids into anti-capitalists and to be perfectly Frank he makes me want to get my killing shoes on what a sweet relief in fact I don't even think that any furries like him let's ask one oh yeah Adam all right e621 Spyro underscore the underscore Dragon space order Colon score enter hmm right see it doesn't do anything for it oh what's that you want to sell me a trip on a submarine to get by a load of robot sharks I don't need any of that you're scamming me look see I don't need to okay fair enough oh look at you there money bags are you a little cold from the snow oh no wait it's just your soul my favorite thing to do with him is actually use a double jump glitch in level one to not only completely ignore him and his stupid bridge but also use the same glitch to get on top of a ledge that I'd also need to pay him later on in the game to learn how to climb and then finish off the rest of the level without paying him a cent meaning that I can then afford his swimming lessons right after level one without needing to go into another level first to try and save up enough this has been a money-saving tip with Daddy Kate next week we'll find out how to stop yourself from spending your own money by learning how to keep pennies in your ass the levels are bigger and give you way more stuff to do and leave a longer Lasting Impression but they aren't so big as to make you go oh no I can't eat that and the music is Miles better as well in fact I'd go far as to say it sucks milkshake through a big straw it's way more creative zesty multi-instrumental and more percussive there's even vocals on some of the tracks my favorites being the one that sounds like a meditating Mr Bean [Music] and the one where it sounds like a really big man just ate something he didn't like or monk dudes with their mouths that look like urinals and they go if you ask me though the award for best line in the game easily goes to even though I'm a vegetarian I think you should kill that Yeti he's so hardcore about killing an animal that he even goes off script kill oh by the way I have a theory about this game that I don't think anybody has ever brought forward before Hunter is repto and no I don't mean just because of their exact same size other characters in the game are all like can you help me tie my shoe laces and then you help them and they reward you but hunter he deliberately breaks himself in igloos and hides orbs from you until you nearly kill yourself on a jet ski parachute he won't give you two orbs that you desperately need to save the world unless you run around in a Sub-Zero cave catching crystals to amuse him he won't give you the items that you need to defeat the man that he summoned himself until you jump on his captured manta ray and follow a seahorse through a bubble of fart he plays dumb but he's not dumb he has like half of the orbs you already need in his pockets and just doesn't give them to you because lamal and have you ever noticed how you never see them together on the same screen He's the bad guy here he is riptoe I also love the way that so many characters have that low poly PS1 over exaggerated head and mouth shape too they all look like talking drum symbols hi munt I mean hi Hunter I'm Spyro and I want to burn all of your incriminating documents there's even this one level where you run around and find all of the bones of a skeleton to put him back together how beautiful is that it's so good to see my friend looking healthy again does he oh no what does that mean what's gonna happen foreign [Music] yes I had to sit through the whole thing so you had to as well now let's move on to I think he wants to dance for you oh no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no oh hello my favorite part of the whole game though is when you get to world 2 Autumn planes and find this level called zest where there are all these slugs on the ground in the middle of a civil war with these birds from the sky and you help out the Slugs by destroying the birds ammunitions building wow what an explosion my disc is a little scratched but then immediately after that is another level called Breezy windpipe where you go to the homeland of the birds in that same war and then you help them get their Airship running again so they're able to counter attacks ensuring that the wall can rage on for many years to come Spyro is indifferent to Global relations he is a war profiteer I love Zephyr anyway though because there are these baby birds that spit ammunition from mother birds dropping it from the sky into their mouths and when they don't have anything they're like Mommy Mommy I'm hungry feed me mommy oh you're hungry are you yeah well I've got your mummy right here your little scab then there's a bit where there's a slug named Romeo and a bird named Julia in a tragic star-cross love on the battlefield and you need to reunite them in this extremely fun magic seed platforming puzzle where different platforms grow in different soil and when you want the seed back the soil clenches like a bum hole and after solving the puzzle Juliet sounds like this Romeo Romeo foreign there's just so many Fantastic moments here how about that mission where you have to get the professor's pencil back by trading an egg with a nest that spits out a seed to go into a plant pot that spits out a rubber duck that goes to the duck family to give you a turnip what okay which then needs to go into a cauldron which spits out a coin that goes into a water fountain that gives you a very soggy pencil it's so good man and how about the secret agent that sounds like I'm a secret agent and when he's looking around to make sure you aren't following him he does he he does that that is how I'm looking around for things for the rest of my life and the robots in Metropolis they're adorable listen to them there's no serious work so even the bosses are an improvement there's only three this time but it doesn't matter because they all make up for the wet jokes that were in Spyro one they actually have attacks they're fun fights and in gulp's case even a little bit challenging this is one of the better bosses in the whole Spyro series actually as great as Simon 2 is though I don't think it's perfect in fact there's a couple of major real low points for me this I'm taking this is way too hard I'm pushing up roses can name like 50 of them can't you oh Spyro uh no the mission in horicose where you have to put lightning stones into power generators and then have to defeat the thieves that keep removing them and throwing them around the level I mean look I'm very glad that I finally get some representation but man does this take forever it isn't difficult just immeasurably boring this part here where you need to Flame fish into this angry Tiki's mouth I can't stand this bit you need to get 10 fish in his mouth and any redfish reset the counter by like a million fish but by the time you see the yellow ones and decide that they're the ones to Flame it's too late to Flame and you miss the mouth so you end up prematurely hitting flame all the time thinking that you're flaming a yellow fish but it's actually a redfish then oh God not that one Spyro the Dragon nowadays I just cheat this bit by looking directly into the water in first person mode to see what fish is coming well is it cheating I'm just using what the game gives me I'm a good boy I wash under my arms and of course there's another bit which is possibly the most infamous part of the whole game but before we get there I just have to ask you a quick question trouble with the trolley okay well actually get ready for me to be a contrarian this isn't hard it's not easy but it's really not that bad I don't know what you're talking about you whinging wet in fact while recording footage for this video I finished the mission first time and then had to start the mission again and deliberately blow up in order to record the guys saying trouble with the trolley eh I mean I don't know what to add it just isn't that hard and you know what else isn't the turtle soup Mission yeah I said it what's the big deal just keep looping around the pipes that they Spawn from and then knock the turtles away if you come across them they'll bounce all over the place and it gives you plenty of time to get them back in the water what's the big deal you Baby [ __ ] buggers and the dinosaur egg hatching and eating the Village People yeah sure I failed this one like once or twice but once you get the pattern down it's just like Simon says but if Simon only had eight Simon noises for you to copy and then Simon played the same Simons every time you Simon and what about the bombing Genie mission in school Gorge not a big deal either did it on my first go here's a tip for you if you're struggling stop charging after him and stick to the wall so that you avoid most of the bombs bouncing off of them you can't rush this bit just go slowly especially around the steps you're gonna hate it if you try charging trust me nah mate you want to know what the worst mission of the game is where do you escort me past those Earth Shapers no how about instead you suck my nuts I hate this I hate this so much why didn't you remind me I had to do this food sheep you're such a bad Dragon aren't you yes I am everything they say about vtubers is right so you've got this motherless goat who has a potion to give Hunter because he wasted his month's rent on a new pair of concrete Nikes and even though the goat is literally next door to where Hunter is he momentarily forgets how to steer his own legs and ends up going on a cross-country Marathon instead deliberately walking right into all of the enemies changing his mind on where he's going all the time getting in the way of you rushing around and you can't get rid of the enemies all you can do is knock them back temporarily so getting them all out of the way of him in advance won't work and the best thing the 10 out of 10 game of the year best thing that happens is that if you finish this Mission Hunter then says thanks for getting me out Spyro but you need to learn a new move to help me kill all of these monsters so come back and find me again when you learn it so you carry on playing the game learn the move come back to the level to help out Hunter and he couldn't wait five minutes to put his Adidas Stones back on meaning you've got to do the first part of the mission all over again what's that I already have this orb I had no idea but anyway you finish the game and do every everything you get the orbs grab the talismans run away from this horrific face and wonder who decided to bring back the bush munchers from Spyro one so you can place an Aztec curse on their family you finally beat ripto and he just accepts his death oh screw it I can't win everybody celebrates Hunter sits on moneybag's face and we finally go on a holiday in a lovely final cut scene it isn't a cut scene I got you Dragon Shores is the final level that is literally just a fun fair that rewards you with ticket in order to unlock a theater to watch The Game's cut scenes again internet you play a game of water dunking ride a roller coaster with a cannon to pop balloons go to a duck shooting gallery and never question why the biggest enemies from the first game are now welcoming you into a dark room inside a theme park with no one else in and you know what I also really like the Little Love Boat tunnel because it taught all the kids that played this game that you can love whoever you want you can love the same gender you can find love even if you're a smelly hairy Yeti if that's not your style you can be on your own you can have a three-way what you can love children excuse me and after all of this if you found every Gem and every orb in the game you unlock a door that grants you a permanent super breath attack which is now obsolete because the game is already over screw off unless you do a Tiger Woods and cheat yeah just quit the game and then start a new game that overrides the completed save file and voila you now have super breath from the minute you start the game how sick is that and that's not all that you can cheat do you want to make Simon look like he has leprosy because you can do that what that's still not enough but how about a big head mode yeah you can do that too finally a game character just for me what is that still not enough well how about this [Applause] you put Spyro in a trouser press the end okay so where are we we've done one two three oh look everyone it's my good friend face face ah you are so full of fact give me another one most people buy one face wash but I have to buy three you are full of surprises face face and so is this game [Music] huh what oh yes I forgot I'm a PS1 game and now I'm finally all on my own safe from everybody around me and nobody else can break it hello I'm spots welcome to my lab oh dear and today I've been sponsored by me yes me I've been sponsored by so many things that now I can finally afford myself it's the collectible world of cat Icarus a limited edition exclusive Blu-ray set only available on the pixel empire.com forward slash caddy in the description below and when I say limited edition I really mean it they are selling out fast and you've got to act now because once they're gone they're gone inside this gorgeous PS1 shaped box that talks to you when you open it wow look in here hello I'm SpongeBob you'll find the Blu-ray disc itself with over five hours of category's content not available anywhere else on the internet such as a Kid Icarus episode all about the history of his 11 years on YouTube a guided PS1 collection tour a hidden Block reunion podcast and so much more I've always wanted to have one thumb and no fingers the menus of the Blu-ray have all been specially designed to look and sound as ugly as possible I mean look and sound like a 90s PS1 demo disc and the case for the Blu-ray even features a huge PS1 manual styled booklet written by caddy featuring interviews from important people behind the scenes of the show countless references in Easter eggs and even a cheat code you can input on the main menu of the Blu-ray for an additional surprise no I'm not going to tell you what it is find out yourself buy it and whenever I'm taking a ride on my favorite hurricane and praying it doesn't stop over the sea I like to mention the other things in this box set such as the exclusive sticker sheet a double-sided movie poster three exclusive pins for your bag or your face just make sure you clean the wounds an extra large sticker to show off what a huge sellout you are it's the closest you'll ever get to touching the real spots get used to it a chance to grab one of three Crash Bandicoot Relic tickets for a variety of different Awards like signed caddy YouTube's figures face-to-face Zoom calls and 10 to 100 of pixel Empire gift cards and to top it all off a hand signed card with a scratch and sniff of Caddy's beard that is not a joke do I look like I'm joking to you I shouldn't need to explain to you why this is so cool but I just did and please buy it because this PS1 animation wasn't cheap wow wasn't that an interruption here's the rest of the video oh boy everyone it's Simon three yay a donut the final in the Original Classic Trilogy made by Insomniac games and what a fitting developer because as a kid Spyro 3 made me into an insomniac I adore Spyro 3 with every nerve ending and every time I pop it in it makes me wanna foreign [Music] six-year-old me played this game until he ate his own hands off true story it's the best game of the original trilogy to me without a doubt I know people think it's the second one but this game has a kangaroo doggy paddling in a lake you're wrong is it because of nostalgia yes oh sweet you can pick your save file icon now um I don't know who should I pick Vinnie what you're right banana so to kick things off even though I love Spyro 2's characters I was never really fussed about ripto or whatever his beef was I didn't find him that funny that entertaining or that endearing which made me not really care about what he was planning to do but this time I actually kind of cared about what was going on you've got this hagged old minger called the Sorceress who's so Hefty you could send her out to the front line and her Apprentice Bianca who have decided to steal all of the baby dragon eggs that came from all of the adult male dragons very Progressive Spyro through well done and instead of stealing them and taking them back to their secret lair they decided to just leave the eggs all over the damn place for anyone to find good plan guys I'm sure this went rear up and RAM into you those eggs belong to us now and I've hidden them in Places You'll Never Find in a thousand years the first egg is right next to where she was standing and that means that this game's collect-a-thon bread and butter are these dragon eggs this time used to unlock more of the game and the eggs are just so giddy over being found that they berth right in front of you with no mess did that bow form in the uterus you also have these baby dragons that don't like being caught unawares and [Music] does this mean the dragons have genus now somebody as nasty as this old bin stealing all of these adorable little babies is bad enough and already makes her appear more like a threatening Cruella Deville except scaly and large but as the game goes on you then discover she wants to kill them all and rip off their wings for a new spell she's working on it's not even like she wants to eat them to keep herself alive or anything like that she just wants to kill them so she can try a new magic trick if that's not evil I don't know what is this causes Bianca to change her mind about being evil takes her hood off and that makes Hunter go you're a fine-looking woman taking that all aside though I also really appreciate how much more the gameplay and story are integrated together there's way more cutscenes showing off what a cow the Sorceress is which builds up to her final boss really nicely throughout the whole game Bianca keeps appearing out of nowhere and taunting you and even with the levels in each World instead of just going through each of them helping the people out and then getting a magical thing to open a door to get closer to the final boss instead you go to the levels help the creatures out and then as thanks they all work together to build you a new transport method to get to the next area where you can find more more hidden dragon eggs when hunter gets kidnapped halfway through the game for a brief amount of time all of his side missions and all the levels are unavailable so come on get on your ass and save him so you can come back and get more dragon eggs everything you do in Spyro 3 has a reason and It just fits into place better you know as for the game itself well everything that Spyro 2 did to improve on Spyro 1 is here everything from the controls to the weird and wonderful character designs that talk to you like they're grazing in a field hello I'm steak did you ever wonder where your milk came from [Music] yeah me too but in my humble opinion it's just Spyro 2 plus it's Spyro 2 but even better not by much they're still both incredible games but this one beats it out for me just slightly I mean yeah they removed the Charming intro and outro level cutscenes which does mean some of the levels start with there are eye knocks everywhere kill them and end with here take this egg but everything else for me was chipped off and Polished into the ultimate Simon experience the camera is panned just a little further back to let you see more of what's around you none of the temporary power-ups are gated off by enemy defeats you can stop skating while ice skating now they brought back way more long gliding platforming sections and secrets that Spyro one had alongside more chances to supercharge than Spyro one and two every character around you reacts to being set on fire now which is a lot better than Spyro 2 where they just stand there defiantly walk away [ __ ] you know not that I Flame the characters that much anyway because so many of them are too adorable and I just want to help them out with their problems our sun has gone out well [ __ ] you're dead they even added races to the classic Speedway obstacle levels [Music] they're really boring yeah oh also Sparks the dragonfly talks now I love it Moneybags came back and he's still a festering ward although he doesn't sound like a drunk anymore I can let you into the little castle over there in exchange for a few gems and now sounds like this Spyro my my how funny to see you here he's more like a naughty jovial uncle that tries to sell his nieces and nephews the warm opened sticky sweets from his pocket you know bollocks sweet so yeah he's back to make your life miserable and so is the Caveman with his skeleton friend who's lost all his bones and yes he even does The Bone Dance Again although this time he goes on for so long that the regular stage music comes back in the middle of it [Music] foreign either even when you complete his mission and make him happy the best he can give you is this terrible terrible face but Moneybags does a little bit more this time instead of just ripping you off to get through doors get this now he works for the main villain in fact he comes right out the gate the first time you see him and just says the Sorceress is paying him to be at all and he's standing guard for a collection of new animal buddies with their own stages that are fully playable and once you buy them off of him you can visit older levels that have their locked doors inside to then get in and find even more gameplay scenarios to make you go wow there's more gameplay scenarios people often feel a bit like these are desperate ideas from a creatively spent development team but I couldn't disagree more they're desperate ideas from a creatively strong development team first off is Sheila the kangaroo an adorable little Muppet that takes the standard gameplay and flips it on its side to be about vertical height exploration more than long distance gliding and I find her levels extremely fun whenever you launch into the air and smash downwards and according to the reignited Trilogy she isn't female unless she has pigtails and a vag next up is Sergeant bird and just like that where the wave of my wand you're a secret spy just like James Bond he is an MI5 flying penguin agent with rockets on his shoulders and I find his part fine not the best and not the worst in open explorative bits with free flying all over the stage he's a joy and I appreciate how you can toggle on a below view for aiming drop missiles while still having full control of flight but in tight spaces it's like trying to fit an apple in a nostril then we have Bentley a friendly Yeti who for some reason is also a London Cockney I genuflected my Noble deliverer I'll have a Jack and Coke on the Rock so don't worry I bought my own eyes my eyes popped I don't dislike him whatsoever but he is my least favorite character to play as purely because he walks just a little bit too slow for me I love how he Stomps around and smashes everything without any effort and reflects projectiles but a little bit more speed would have been appreciated position he's so big that he blocks off the screen from the dragon that you just saved move it and lastly there's Jim Carrey monkey who uses a rebounding laser gun grenade strafing and first person sniper shots to get through his sections I like these a lot they're good fun especially when you find his most powerful weapon the child beard gun Plus in those hidden Speedway bonus levels you get to do them as Hunter and that makes them better and more fun than Spyro 2 because it does and you are listening to me and hey did you know that the first ever water birth in a video game was in Spyro 3. yeah I'm not joking here it is welcome to planet Earth kid that's what your lungs filling up with water feels like alongside all the animal buddies Simon can save for extra gameplay you can even control Sparks for the first time ever in his own top-down explorative shooting sections which I really enjoy as well you can boost strafe use limited power-ups all over the place and when you finish each one you unlock a new permanent ability for Spyro like pointing Sparks towards the direction of missing gems an absolute godsend or giving yourself one extra hit before losing a life sure there's Parts which aren't perfect I went to Boom again but there's literally nothing I dislike in this game or don't look forward to nothing the worst part in any single Spyro game that's ever been released is in Spyro 3 yes I'm not exaggerating Spyro 2 has more low points but this single low point in three topples all of them on its own the boxing match with Bentley and this filthy rat is utterly unplayable you're supposed to have three attacks on a block but absolutely none of these moves come out when you need them to either the delay is way too much or Bentley is way too slow whatever the case this stinking piss rag is able to perform every move at twice the speed as you and somehow manages to combo when you're unable to and blocks nearly every attack you perform like he's reading your mind hit him hit him God damn hit him hit him Bentley why are you missing him don't make me call you by your passport name I could go on all day about this abominable challenge especially when you win one egg for beating it once but then need to survive for three rounds for a second egg and come out the other end with the most health which if you aren't deathly lucky will take you over half an hour and it's enough to give me a Diane weast infection now ask yourself this if a video game game about a platforming purple dragon came out in the year 2000 what will it add into it to make it immediately much better that's right skateboarding [Music] [Music] I [ __ ] you not there's Spyro the magical fantasy medieval dragon on a skateboard in space this is the most Long John backwards ass thing I think I've ever seen but man I just don't care it's so much fun especially the races when you have to keep doing tricks mid-air to build up a speed boost how can you not love this look at him go that's how I feel about Simon 3 as a whole actually it can get pretty stupid but I just don't care because I'm having too much fun with it and even if I'm not completely enamored with some of the new stuff it doesn't matter because most of the game is you and Simon and the increased charging and gliding segments for his gameplay specifically when compared to Spyro 2 are great enough for me to not mind the more experimental angles my copy of the game is so overplayed and so loved that some of the eggs won't hatch for ages [Music] [Applause] sometimes boss one just gets stuck and won't stop pulling off his sick flip Hello what do I do help Sheila look at this can you believe this [ __ ] and Spyro very frequently violates personal space be sure to keep your friend Sparks the dragonfly healthy Spyro and do you mind getting your nose out of my dress wow and it's even better when Sheila is listening to someone and she's all like this bit always gets a laugh out of me and the mission where you have to protect the ice skater and you mess it up the enemies end up playing hockey with her you you can even go to Rome and set fire to the Pope okay you can't do that but you can skate in the Roman Coliseum though that makes up for it I will admit there's also these penguins here in Frozen altars with these voices that I can't decide if they're horrifying or a massive turn on it would be easy to get up to that treasure if you had something to stand on yeah they're horrifying I don't know why but I feel really cold I swear they are this close to starring in a Netflix serial killer by optic oh and the music this time my Christ the music this time the music and this get the music in this game just it just makes me want it this is one of my favorite video game soundtracks ever of all time period it's everything that made Spyro 2 music so great but amped up to 11. it's catchier more percussive and rhythmic groovier more varied in genres and every time I hear any track from it I go [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] I mean agent 9's theme alone completely slaps how many PS1 soundtracks Nate how many video game soundtracks in general can you say have a song in it that's in seven eight time signature [Music] I'm sorry everyone I was just listening to velcro ASMR the bosses are pretty good too there's more of them than in Spyro too and they all look and feel completely different from each other not to mention I think they all look pretty threatening as well which is a plus this guy used to terrify me as a kid that face gives me a heart attack I hate it one tries to knock you back into lava and then sneezes fire at you one tries to shoot you with ammo that you can steal from him and use back at him one flies around the arena showering you with attacks and other enemies to chase you and is only vulnerable while moving instead of being stationary and the Sorceress herself is like a mix of all of them together but now with the added bonus of using temporary vehicles to blow her up and that's more or less how this all ends after you've done your best sitting there for three hours watching the professor do this [Music] putting up with Hunter's [ __ ] thanks did you bring any chips and saving all the dragons like Mingus Mingus what kind of name is that actually fair enough he looks like a Mingus Bianca becomes a good guy you beat the Sorceress by shooting her in the goddamn head then Hunter and Bianca become a couple oh guys get a read I don't want to see this [ __ ] this is a kids game there's not supposed to be any lewd and it isn't that right Chris oh my God okay ignore him isn't that right Jimmy D pooper what okay ignore him isn't that right I hate everything huh okay if I'm not careful my Channel's gonna be suspended help me out Tom scarf huh oh God no just like any Simon game we aren't done yet after we grab every single Gem and Dragon egg in the game we unlock one final end game stage we've been to nasty's loot we've been to Dragon Shores and now our next stop is super bonus round that's an awful name but you know what it does mean yes everybody it's time for a surprise um I was about to say a surprise Mexican Bounce Route what in all fairness though I think this is the best reward of all the games it cools back to nasty's loot in terms of it being another actual level but now there's way more treasure to steal way more ways of interacting with the stage way more interesting things to see places to explore it's a great unlockable final level and then this follows on to the true final boss the Sorceress again I don't know how she did it spiral but the Sorceress must have survived that last battle what wait how did you get another Cameo yeah I don't know either it's almost like they ran out of ideas and the worst thing is that she doesn't even come back stronger or angrier she came back on her Mobility Scooter this is honestly not a very good hidden boss but you know it's not Spyro one so I don't mind goodbye grandma and as for the super secret 100 hidden ending [Music] just that and that's why this is the best [ __ ] game ever I'm not kidding either I treasure Spyro 3 it has an adorable wolf puppy you can play fetch with it has Brits it has a bit where you play Doom it has a matrix reference I mean who wasn't doing a matrix reference in the year 2000 [Music] oh it has Cowboy dinosaurs I mean do you have any Cowboy dinosaurs if you do can I come over and see them it has the ultimate Revenge fantasy that surpasses Kill Bill by letting you chase down money bags at the end of the game and burn his completely flame resistant pants in order to steal all of your gems back from him and in conclusion it has the best sound effect of all time so I think it's safe to say Spyro 3 really is the Year of the Dragon well what a perfect little Trilogy for the PlayStation I'm sure glad it stopped there and they didn't try anything else no caddy oh shave my back it's my evil twin brother Baddie I bought something for you oh for me you should have I deserve it you know I'm starting to think the Baddie isn't actually all that bad I mean you know after foreign I mean after all who goes out of their way to gift you a jigsaw puzzle I wonder what's on [Music] oh my God I can't believe it it's me and that means they made another Spyro cave Spyro enter the dragonfly no thanks so after Insomniac games left the franchise behind for Ratchet and Clank we've now got check six and Equinox teaming up to push this one out on the GameCube and PS2 as for the Xbox and after they made enter the dragonfly the reviews were so great they closed down forever before anything else I want to direct you to the demo screen of this game after you leave the start menu running a while and you are gonna watch it with me in its entirety [Music] oh These are nice flowers who am I gonna pick for this save game then so the game begins and we get our first cut scene wow yeah this looks good nothing to see here it all looks top form this is exactly like an interactive electronic video game also this cutscene cacks it goes on forever and it really has no right to do you want me to paraphrase exactly what happens in this entire cut scene wow isn't everything great hello my G's oh no it's riptoe what are you doing here that's a good question yeah it is a good question what are we doing here what do you mean what are we doing here if you ask me one more question I'm going to skin you now where was I oh yes that's a good question I'm here because yeah that is more or less exactly how this cutscene plays out it's just a massive one-sided conversation with ripto and absolutely nobody else while they all just stand there and let him steal all of these baby dragonflies you all deserve to lose everything you care about and watch all that you love turn to dust after that we all get an uncomfortable look into Bianca's flesh mouth and then off we go to save the dragonflies or else or else the other dragons won't be able to use them as human Shields and they have all sorts of cute names like bonky hey it's fluffy that's weird cause dragonflies aren't fluffy hey it's Sandra it's sick oh my spoiled custard is this is this how the game runs is the whole game going to run like this well then someone had better catch it then come on Simon exit my dart board why are you like this are you dying oh no there's an ice skate that can only be opened by Ice breath yeah all right so here's the thing collecting the dragonflies is the main mission in this game but it is much easier to do than you think because yeah the game is broken now it's not just broken it's been shattered into a thousand pieces infamously you can even finish the entire game in less than 10 minutes by swimming through a hole in a net flying over to the center of the Hub world and then pissing straight into the final boss portal oh I like winning now many years ago I made a dedicated video about enter the dragonfly and I was a puss I didn't actually bother playing the game I just broke it finished it in 10 minutes and then shoved out a lazy joke video to cover my electric bill but this time no such excuses I played it legit from start to end so now I can confidently say without a doubt the game is still shat and I'm not the only one that thinks that right lady Emily oh I mean yeah I enjoyed entered the dragonfly I mean ostensibly the game is the same as Spyro one two and three but instead of refining or going forward it takes things away Simon one had six Hub worlds Simon two had three Simon three had four and this game has one one Hub world and not only that it also has eight levels eight levels in total Simon three had 21 Simons and dartboard only has a sure they are much bigger than previously and they do things like putting Speedway courses inside those levels to beef up a single level instead of split them up but it also means that there isn't as much visual variety way too many flat and gaping chasms of spaces where a level should be barely any gliding challenges aside from like three levels and despite you having new power-ups to unlock in the forms of different Elemental breaths which is an idea I do love there is only one single instance of returning to an older level to find something new with an unlocked breath and all it involves you doing is grabbing kites by standing on children's heads this also means the music is pretty Limited in comparison to the PS1 games too and I'm not sure why but despite it being the same composer it sounds like it's falling asleep most of the time [Music] I don't think the music's bad necessarily it's just two atmospheric and Rich for its own good especially for a game that looks like this can't deny though Cloud9 is a tune [Music] foreign not to mention the game is insultingly easy I breezed through most of it without even thinking about it check out this Mission from the halfway point of the game great hey it's takahiro and of course I'm sure you've all noticed by now the lag now I can handle a bit of lag that's not a problem but what I can't handle is when the lag starts making things run in slow motion because one thing Star Wars [Music] no don't worry your video is not buffering or dropping frames and you don't have cataracts this is how the game looks all the time it never stops I almost want to get a cheerleading squad in there to encourage it to run properly and on many occasions it gets so close but just can't quite get there come on Simon you can do it you can do it you can do all and in some of the speedway missions and tank battles it goes beyond PowerPoint presentation slides it's like looking at a newspaper it's a necessary evil though team because we need to include the fog and grass physics if there was ever a game I wanted to dive under the hood of and see what the hell is going on with it it would be enter the dragonfly so I got my mate boundary break to look into the inner workings of the game and this is what he found oh god wow how did the developers leave that in even if the game didn't run like a crusty pair of jeans the whole thing still feels like it's underwater movement is so slow and extremely floaty the gems take three years to hit the ground after you break them out of baskets and oh man oh geez are you ago I don't mind the general graphics and the level Aesthetics sometimes it could be quite nice but what is it with these mouth animations is your face trying to run away from itself you can't just take the low poly PS1 toasty maker mouths and then smooth them out for the PS2 it was Charming back in 1999 but in 2002 it all looks like a pair of old socks and on top of all of that as you could quite clearly see earlier the game isn't finished [Music] and I'm not talking about the gameplay removals either technically it's a disaster as well have you ever played a game where there's a loading screen to load a loading screen Spyro has no drop shadow making gliding a total pain in the sphinct enemies don't attack you Spyro gives up walking and just floats everywhere the progression Atlas disappears and turns black Spyro gets stuck in ladders charging decides to stop working entirely sound effects disappear at random thank you the wing deflect move you unlock aside from only being needed for one single part of the game doesn't even make its Target when you do need it Spyro loves to do these random falling animations after charge jumps and completely stop you in your tracks mid-air the milk breath you get from space candy has no range what the camera controls often stop working entirely whenever you move the camera forgets that it's supposed to be looking at you all the time Sparks just refuses to eat butterflies when he desperately needs them for extra hit points the Spitfire machine gun needs to be tapped over and over again to fire instead of just held down your flame breath sometimes doesn't attack at all the characters are always turning into statues especially during dialogue uh-oh he stopped can someone put a pound in him then there's my favorite one whenever you're in the tank you're able to twist the turret with the shoulder buttons whenever you're stationary but then when you start moving you're allowed to twist the turret left but then twisting it right stops working only when you're moving this game is incredible and taking the coding issues out of the way and the gameplay being stripped back from the PS1 days the game's also unfinished in other weird ways like with good old Rage Against the Machine back who only appears one single time in the entire game on level one and never comes back which is probably for the best because I don't like your cultural appropriation and there's this bit where you talk to a monkey finish a sliding Mission get a dragonfly and then the game makers forgot to make the monkey offer you an extra dragonfly for doing the mission again on hard mode so Sparks just turns around to you and says oh wait a second there's another dragonfly Mission here but the monkey forgot to tell you about it so do you want to do the slide again oh and speaking of Sparks most of the time he has the same voice in Spyro 3 that I love deer leaves except for one single instance when Spyro insults him and he outright just says the word hi you can look up reviews of this game when it first came out on the internet but honestly I don't think it's possible to review this game they're all just encyclopedias of everything wrong with it hey it's shadow so when all is said and done and you can't stomach it any longer you end up at the final boss ripto oh no wait I meant the only boss riptoe what is this game's daddy issues and the boss itself is well it's on brand I'll give it that also worth mentioning that if you start this fight off you have bricked your save file and can never leave the fight until you beat the game so if you're going for 100 do not go into the boss portal you'll never come back the fight itself is pretty but the best thing about it is that after you beat him you get this cutscene [Music] yes enter the dragonfly genuinely feels like a load of people got together in a meeting one person came in and said hey guys I've got eight new Spyro level ideas and the rest of the team said thank you that is all it is sadly the first of quite a few Spyro games that doesn't make me go in fact the game is so bad I don't even think any children's TV presenters on CBBC would take a paycheck to advertise it to kids would they Chris Johnson Oh They'll buy anything CBBC has been showing the exact same episode of Tracy Beaker on a loop for years and none of them have noticed little pricks so that's why you don't present CBBC anymore the only major drops of Praise I can give this game are that it gives you the ability to warp to any level right from the pause menu once you've already visited it the sliding missions are admittedly a lot more fun than Spyro 3 and above all at least it isn't racist oh okay by the way guys you can keep your trouble with the trolley [ __ ] the one phrase I had to hear at least six goddamn times over was defend the puffy Powers this dog fight is dog bath the enemy planes can drain your health in seconds they're too hard to hear there's no aiming reticle and the battleships take at least a thousand missiles to take down and after every 30 seconds of each failed attempt I got thrown back to the goddamn Defender Party Palace the only way I could win this mission is by giving the battleships a good old Ram over and over again while spamming the ever-loving hell out of the missile button because that's fun isn't it actually yes it is especially if it means avoiding the thin the puffy Palace Luke that wasn't even close you're an embarrassment the most annoying thing about exit my dartboard though is that the bass is definitely there I can see a started game I can see a natural extension from PS1 Spyro to PS2 Spyro it's extremely close to being a competent simple yet effective bit of comfort food like a peanut butter sandwich except it's a peanut butter sandwich that has the bread but replace the peanut butter with more bread that's what this is Spyro 4 is a bread sandwich oh and who in Satan's Pantry signed off on this credits image I mean I like it it's funny wait a second is your name too eyed Willy thing is though I didn't just decide to play every level and beat the game I decided to beat it oh I completed this game 100 percent I got everything I did everything just for the chance of having an extra cool hidden bonus ending thing just like in all the other three Spyro games and what did I get here I got a secret ending cut scene and what was it well everything is finally back to normal isn't it Spyro Spyro went to the dragonfly makes me want to piss the bed foreign I wish I didn't have to sit on a sofa and commit to playing a bad game on a giant TV you know why can't I just play classic Spyro whenever I want wherever I want now now son turn that frown upside down because Spyro the Dragon went portable part two you're a bit small aren't you yes everyone even though the start of the PS2 was a bit of an old egg for the dragon Simon seemed to flourish on the Game Boy Advance for multiple games before the next Mainline console title starting off with Simon silly old ink look at it it's Spyro all right he's running he's jumping he's flaming he's charging he's gliding he's even hovering it's just like classic Spyro but now you can't see it this is season of ice with digital Eclipse being the ones who made it and before they even started making the game they had to leap over one major obstacle [Music] it doesn't fit so if they were going to make a Simon game fit into a gba the sacrifices must be made as you can see it is pretty close to PS1 Simon but with a shitload of Cubes so if you like cubes you're gonna love this with it being a Game Boy Advance game you can't see much of the screen around you there's tons of moments you'll get hit off screen and die instantly it's difficult to tell sometimes what height things are for longer Glide but all things considered they did a great job here is what I would be saying but the problem is I don't really like season of ice and no it's not just because they brought money bags back he doesn't even carry bags of cash anymore he's on Visa the controls are pretty tight you can do most of the moves you're accustomed to you collect gems and find hidden items you save a main collectible to keep unlocking the rest of the game this time being fairies getting extra lives is as simple as burning small animals and it only takes three seven or forty of them even Sparks has his own levels again that feel right at home on the GBA the core is here but everything around it is all mushy and smelly the charge is way too quick for the screen size and if you ever use it for more than a few seconds there's a 95 charge you're getting pruned skin and yes you can use the left trigger to look around you but that's only when you're standing dead still so whenever you move into another part of the game you will not see what's coming up unless you keep stopping looking and then moving a few steps forward oh leave me alone you Rag and in the cruelest twist of fate if you die you lose all of your progress in the level except for the gems and enemy defeats there's no checkpoint at all and with levels like these where everything looks the damn same trying to refind Treasure Chest keys that then stick into a treasure chest you have no clue where it was before or refining all of the optional items to burn around the level for an extra fairy is utterly miserable made even worse when you were killed unfairly by an off-screen attack or whenever Spyro gets hit in general and decides to slide backwards for like five hours until he falls right into his tomb oh and even if you don't manage to die and complete objectives that involve exploring these copy paste box factories you get forcibly teleported to the middle of dickville nowhere and they need to figure out how to get back to where you were before I don't know what Square I was at before the game has no map to tell me I can't do this all on my own I'm not Biden but at the absolute very least you can do this and I'm sure there's a million other things I forgot to mention about this game have you got anything faff uh what oh my God you're right I forgot to mention that and while I'm whining about a 21 year old game that nobody cares about the bosses suck too this is grendor the main villain he appears twice you fight him twice he has a head twice who is he what's his breakage why should I care why does grendor sound like a cough syrup I don't know but I can give him credit for giving us a break from all of the cubes in the game by throwing balls at us instead there's also these Speedway levels in the game that are visually impressive and try to stay as faithful to the PS1 Speedways as possible and I don't mind these but they share the same problem with the rest of the game being that they're all the same the visuals are the same the challenges are the same the level designs are the same the bosses are the same this is Spyro Samson of same and then for the cherry on top of this cake of potato and we you can only unlock the second boss that is the final boss by beating the game 100 thanks for the reward of letting me finish the game by having to treat it like Elon musk's hairline and comb it back to front and the ending of the game no joke is grandor having his two-headed problem fixed followed by okay I'm sorry bye and then the final insult to close it all off is that you unlock a bonus Sparks game which is just asteroids but with this face Merry Christmas you know what I'm shocked as a kid I used to love this game but now I just agree with his bullies I don't want to play with this thing anymore no wait don't get rid of it yet oh hello look everybody it's Wallace big what are you doing here I have a good game for you on the Game Boy don't give up on it now why are you shouting you're already massive here take this it is usually much smaller but in my big hand it is much bigger because I am so big wow thank you so much Wallace big these big enemies so first off we had Simon's silly old ink and now we have Simon too silly old fish gotta say right now I love this box art it's incredible gone are the days of creative collages of characters and colorful new worlds no we're just gonna have face and before I get into the Nitty Gritty I can definitely say out the gate that not only is Spyro 2 GBA so much better than the first one but it's also actually probably one of my favorite GBA games of all time no I'm not pulling you this is an unironically great game and it's the first time for a few games now that I can finally say makes me go the idea is the same as the first and from the initial glance it looks exactly the same but trust me it's far from it I mean look it has slopes first off the controls are way better you've got more mid-air control while jumping you move slightly slower while running and charging but that just makes it way easier to charge everywhere without running off the stage the camera moves automatically towards the direction you move giving you more Charles to see what's coming they brought the changing Elemental breaths back from enter the dragonfly for different styles of attack and puzzle solving and yeah there's puzzles now it's not just a run around and pick everything up Spiel you have side missions with different things to do more secrets to explore money bags there's no more repetitive Speedway shooting sections and instead these Sheila and agent 9 levels that offer totally different and fun gameplay Styles like side-scrolling Run and Gun missions which I really get a kick out of or isometrics slower paced puzzle platforming and Sheila's dialogue face looks like there's power up Gates now for extra powerful breath attacks for further puzzles or even new ways of exploring the better designed levels and if you get lost oh my God there's a ma which shows you where you are blacks are the areas you haven't explored yet and even shows you where level doorways are on the Hub World sliding backwards when getting hit has been totally removed which is great enough on its own but even if you do die it doesn't matter because all of your collection progress during the level is saved except for the treasure chest key why and you don't go back to the beginning of the level because there are checkpoints throughout now and the music the music oh the music is so [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] along with doing new and different things in each stage whenever you do complete a mission you also don't get randomly picked up and spat out on a bit of dirt three miles away from where you just were and you even collect fireflies in this game which is class it's way better than collecting lame ass fairies I don't want to collect them what do I look like a wuss they always get in your hair and oh so we're cheap oh my head fairies in my fur fairies in my fur there aren't only more bosses to fight but they're also Crush Gulp and riptoe from Spyro too not my favorite but still more familiar and better executed than whatever this thing is that can service two at once you know what else I noticed Sparks keeps wanting to say ass and the game never lets him he's always just about to say it but then the game chickens out like it's e for everyone or something this will not do Nintendo Sparks needs his ass #let Sparks say ass literally everything wrong with season of ice is fixed here and I couldn't be happier about that even the little things like each playable character flying back to the hub world is great it's a flying ape and character dialogue having these noises is great it sounds like when I'm trying to fit on a tight boot I also love to stand on moving platforms and hold the look button down bye bye Simon the only part I really don't like is this one Mission here when you got to use electric breath to protect a mouse loading a rocket ship mainly because for some baffling reason the lightning breath just doesn't work only in this part of the game too but who cares I can't be angry at the first video game ever to have a level made out of runny green cheese I think that is looking a little tired don't you you don't have to 100 the whole game to finish it either and if you do choose to 100 it you unlock a bonus game from the main menu called Sparks Panic which I thought he was doing in the other game but now it's basically the exact same spark shooting you already know by this point but it's wave based now and then you can even play Dragon giraffes although if you're playing with me you don't play drafts you lose it oh I know that sound oh you know that's the great thing about cash isn't it it doesn't matter wherever I go or whatever I do he's always there and that's what I love about him is that he's never able to leave me alone and you know what that's fine with me that's my lot in life crash and I we're both linked at the hip there's nothing that anybody can do about that and I wherever I go and whatever I do he's always gonna be there that's totally fine with me I've got no problem with it you know the small price to pay for such a great game every so often you get a tiny Tad of slow down but honestly that really doesn't bother me I like to look at Spyro 2 GBA like a little old man yeah he may slow down occasionally but he's got more wisdom to make up for it and he hates foreigners well Wallace big you weren't lying this game actually turned out pretty great so thanks so much for the wreck well you know no I don't bye goodbye goodbye no great bye have a great Buy [Music] you're big I know yes it has its downsides or should I say downsize foreign so who wants to throw me the next game [Music] well thank god it's only taken seven games and Spyro is finally going on an adventure this is Spyro Adventure also known as attack of the rhinox in the US or as I like to call it Simon awesome I have rubella oh what's this a mini game from the start bird rescue let's see what this is about why why this is the third game in the GBA series made by digital eclipse and this one in particular eclipses the rest Indie mouse please Laugh at My Spyro joke caddy what did I tell you about calling me about this stupid dragon games you're right it was funny and that's because this game tries something a little bit different it's the standard GBA Simon fair but now open world and I really like this idea in fact no I don't like it I love it there's individual large quests scattered around every level in the giant single Hub world and lots of backtracking when acquiring new power-ups to explore previously inaccessible areas to find more Quest items that are needed in earlier stages and this is all a great direction for the portable series except okay so with the game being open now the individual side levels are much smaller than the other games to compensate navigation but even with a map that doesn't mean much when trying to find characters for Quest items is a total pain when all the NPCs look the damn same and I don't remember who these people are or where the hell to find them is this guy over here Steve how about you are you Steve and this guy are you Steve or are you Air Force Joe this game takes the worst of ice and the best of flame and mixes them together to create a load of wet you'll find all of these multi-colored chests all over the game that require keys that you need to find two halves of each scattered around the rest of the game once you assemble the key you can then go back and unlock all of these chests of the same color across every level in the game and there's no indication what levels they're in or whereabouts they are some are inside rooms some are hidden on high platforms and some are just laying around like dead cats and I would just go ahead and not worry about them if they were all full of optional gems for the sake of 100 completion but I can't ignore them because some chests have gems and some have extremely valuable items to further progress the game meaning that whether you like it or not you have to go back through the whole game every single time you assemble a new key and find all of the chests in every level just in case you missed one with a quest item in it and if the chest is hiding in one of the side rooms you'd better pray it's not one of the ones that need two buttons being pressed at totally opposite points of the Level under a time limit every single time you need to get into that side room no it doesn't stay open you have to do this every single time and then the channel answers are you get in there and you haven't got the right colored key yet but unless you write it down how are you gonna know I'm a kid playing this on a Game Boy Advance in the back of my car trying not to throw up I'm not gonna do any note taking I'm not a policeman it's pretty cool that agent nine came back you know good for him but he ended up trading his laser pistol for a Dyson which is because instead of the fun and tricky Run and Gun segments from season of flame these are slow and awkward stealth segments where if you get spotted one single time you have to start over at the previous checkpoint this whole system just slows everything down and if you want to talk about slow take a look at Sergeant bird making his first playable debut on the GBA foreign well what in the [ __ ] is this I didn't realize Spyro's new animal friend was polio these sections suck I'm sorry all you do is hit the a button over and over again to ascend shoot machines trying to attack you and save soldiers that are dotted all over the place you can either save one at a time and keep going back and forth which takes absolutely forever or collect multiple ones all at once at the cost of being slower heavier and meaning you have to Ram the fly button even faster like you're angrily showing your crewmates where the hidden gold is it sounds the same looks the same and mostly feels the same but Spyro Adventure for me is just way too lofty and open-ended for its own good without giving you the necessary tools to make it feel as fun to play a season of play well actually I say that it sounds the same but I take that back because the music this time is [Music] on top of that you fall through the floor more times than I think should legally be allowed agent 9's grappling hook does not work properly Moneybags is now pink and most of the missions are now just well Spyro look out a thief has stolen one of the dragon babies and you've gotta stop him [Music] yeah all right one of the things we need to save the world is in this safe that you can't get in I'm in also I think money bags now has a kid which means I can't look at him anymore without knowing that someone rode him well I don't know about you guys but after playing all these GBA games I'm getting sick of looking at squares can I please get a game that just has no squares in it for a change I know maybe there's one over to my left I can't believe those things you just said oh look everybody it's my cousin squatty you japist oh come on squatty I've been looking at squares all day I just want to break from them oh yeah we'll take a break from this oh fun hey round boy my face is up here sorry I just I just didn't realize you people were so violent they made one more Spyro GBA Game known everywhere as Spyro orange the cortex conspiracy no although it's more commonly known in the UK as Simon fudge and not only is this the final Standalone Spyro game on the game boy that wasn't a port and not made by digital Eclipse but it was also a crossover game and a crossover game with another platforming Juggernaut that you all know and love is it snowing no Eggman it's the one the only Mickey what Cameo oh yeah after years of suspense and build up teasing fans all over the world by Naughty Dog and Insomniac hiding crash and Spyro Demos in each other's PS1 games the two best known PlayStation mascots were finally getting together on a system that needed a lamp and yes this also means Spyro and crash's villains team up too this game having ripto and cortex as bad guys and the story they have here is the ripto and cortex team up to stop crash and Spyro and look oh my God guys there he is together on screen in the same game for the first time ever and we become best friends after a boss battle where Spyro stands still does absolutely nothing and murders crash with Molotov cocktails what I don't understand though is that if it worked in Spyro orange why doesn't it work for me on Tinder what we have here is a Simon side scroller which you know what I'm not completely against we've had three games of bastard squares taking all of our jobs and now we have this I'm fine with it and we can run jump and yes we don't charge anymore and we don't Glide two of the things that made Simon Simon a controversial move that I will never understand but not as much as how I don't understand this this is the replacement Glide everyone having a mid-air thing and you know what I wouldn't mind the lacking inclusion of two of Spyro's most defining things if the flame wasn't a useless spit on the floor that never hits any enemies and if it didn't control as slippery as it does you don't need to throw super van Gogh to protest oil just make people play Spyro orange and they'll never want to see oil again I am barely just about to make the jumps on Tiny platforms here and most of the time I do it isn't without jittering on the d-pad to land accurately because of just how oiled up the floor feels all over the game it's worse than your local Kebab shop and once you mix already slippery controls with slippery ice in the ice world just burn it make it water I'll drink it I'll spit it out I'll soak it up and then I'll eat it this can't be all the game is though and you're right so what else do you do here you find portals to mini games beat them and that is it Spyro orange is a mini game collection in Disguise and not a very good one this is what the game considers a fully fledged minigame do you want to play Breakout but while the ball is on a tractor do you want to play a slow anti-gravity Mech game where you collect one bullet at a time and fire one bullet at a time do you want to play an auto scrolling flying shoot them up stage where nothing happens do you want to play an auto scrolling flying shoot them up stage where nothing happens do you want to play an auto scrolling tank Shoot Em Up stage when oh wait sorry let me just flip this over do you want to play an auto scrolling flying shooter repetition is this game's Mantra and even for the ones that don't copy each other or repeat every single mini game here is Dreadful in fact it can all be perfectly summed up by the first ever portal you jump into Spyro very slowly jumping over holes in a jeep and that's it that's the Spyro orange experience condensed and for the love of God keep to the sides of all of the flying stages because the middle will always trap you into a game over that you can't see coming stay away from the center like a pizza nobody wants that bit and some of these mini games go on for an eternity but I don't need to tell you this when me and my sister were kids I got crushed purple for Christmas while she got this and she loved it didn't you Rosie what see she's an idiot I've never played a game before where the game itself feels like it doesn't care I've never been more acutely aware of a game nearly reaching sentience and telling me itself it is Bored Spyro orange is alive and wants you to end it even money bags doesn't give a [ __ ] here all he does is ask for money so you can buy trading cards which do absolutely nothing and the shopping experience itself [Music] foreign [Music] wow I love shopping here do you have a loyalty card the only real triumphant moments of the game appear when you win a mini game and even then Spyro doesn't even look like he knows what just happened [Music] you did it oh you've noticed throughout this whole game depression I'm being serious I think this game is about depression this new character blink the mole is always hiding underground away from the sun in cortex's boss fight he just gives up halfway through and accepts his inevitable death whenever Spyro wins tug of war matches against creatures trying to destroy his world and kill his friends he looks sorry for them Sergeant bird hung himself and in every cutscene Spyro never looks happy follow me crash uh bosses don't even try to hurt you they're more interested in jollying themselves or slumping left and right over and over again while all you do is jump over them to win the only real challenges with crush and gulp together and even then gulp tries so little to actually hit you that Spyro falls asleep the whole game from start to end took me 46 minutes to finish five of those minutes were when I paused the game because I had to take a massive crap so in an effort to add more value to the game do you know what they did they locked the final world out until you beat every Mini-Game before it three times each what everything again three times each when most of the mini games are copies of each other anyway are you trashed no not having it I am not having it not having it gymcadic 28 male not having it why didn't you tell me about this lady pelvic get over here you damn poor Felix huh oh my God I'm so sorry for your loss let's be real you'd have to be mental to play the whole game again two more times with tiny little changes in difficulty just so you could get to the last World so you get to the final world of the game and lo and behold it's exactly the same as all the other worlds with the same mini games and the same slipperyness the same pitiful everything with the final boss being a carbon copy of the final boss from Crash Bandicoot purple which you didn't have to access in that game by beating every mini game two extra times and finally ending with Spyro looking like but my absolute favorite bit the best bit of the game entirely is that near the end there's the hardest platforming sequence in the whole thing full of long jumps Airborne enemies leaps of faith and it takes a while to get through it but once you do get through it the reward waiting for you at the end is Crash Bandicoot The hitted Secret of the game locked behind the hardest part of it is one of the main characters I'm not exaggerating when I say this is one of the worst games I've ever played I can't stand it and I never want to play it again so long scrote [Music] foreign part three the next games would better be good or I'll burn down an orphanage well hopefully after the disaster of Spyro orange we can finally get somewhere with Simon a happy teeth a hero's tale came out in late 2004 for PS2 GameCube and Xbox right after orange and from now on we've got no more of the original teams behind the first few games different voice actors developers composers the lot maybe for the best I don't know he knows by the way don't let this cover fool you even though it looks like a George RR Martin epic you start the game up and get dude some dudes drain my pool dude I mean dude so after Spyro orange everything is just and as it should be the game opens with a familiar face nasty knockers and then this new Ultra mean Baddie appears to try and take over the world with a face like a crumpled sewage pipe his name is red I hope we find out why he's called that the intro to our goodies begins and who is red that's the Fallen Dragon red I'm sure you've heard all about him no ah yeah we don't know and we don't care in this whole game we never seem to care we get hit on don't care we fight a thick old fish woman don't care we lose 80 dragon eggs from a nursery no need to chase after the thieves don't care we get told to collect things to power this thing don't care and the professor doesn't seem to care either what exactly I don't know my gems like gems you know what this is just the Liberty I needed I really like this this is actually kind of funny but hey you who the hell is red I am old I actually really like the story here no one gives a [ __ ] from start to end and it's pretty entertaining plus it allows the game itself to be played more than watched which is good because Hero's tale is really good in fact no it's great yeah I said it these reviews are all wrong small dark horse not a problem for me Spyro this game is another attempt to spyro-esque gameplay in a more open world setting and you know what it's not the best open world game I've ever played but for Spyro I think it pretty much Nails it not only is the open world idea extremely fluid and well executed with tons of fast travel stations and a great map system to show where you have and haven't been but the world you travel to have some of the most engaging and creative gliding puzzles and tricky enemies to get by in the whole series The Movement controls are really smooth the charge is really Snappy and I love that it gallops this time it even feels so good to just run around in circles and see how Simon's body snakes around behind you that is great attention to animation there's no stiffness no floatiness no charge jumping and no hovering okay it's not perfect why is there no hover can someone get me my cyanide Derek you are way too eager to give me that I only want what's best for you man I'm feeling exclusion the hover has been a staple for years and even on the Game Boy Advance why has it gone now the lack of hover makes some jumps unnecessarily annoying what you can pull yourself up from Ledges good for you matey bubble bath everything else though is terrific gems fall out of baskets and metal crates extremely quickly and Sparks picks them all up quicker than you can and even though yes the hover is gone the new double jump is a decent enough replacement and you know what I also love the way that you can hold the breath button down now and Trail the breath attack for a few seconds to cover more area and distance it's more like a spray than a breath but it works great even better when you mix in the returning additional Elemental breaths and unlike exit my dart board each breath provides a brand new way to attack and puzzle solve that all have their own costs and benefits instead of all being basically the same attack but looking slightly different fire is the same as always electric can penetrate armor but also needs to be held down for longer to kill anything ice freezes practically everything but also means you have to charge into enemies after freezing them and water breath pushes wood I hate this breath you might as well have Spyro spit sand on everyone's face goobers I asked you to animate Spyro eating Sanju waste of space okay hold the phone who signed off on this character no this isn't a glitch this is a separate character it's just another model of Spyro covered in salsa this is Peak character design I love it oh also the power up gates are back for invincibility and supercharging always a pleasure to see this genuinely feels like a Natural Evolution from PS1 to PS2 for what a Spyro game should be aiming to try and do for a new generation I really dig it and it has been way too long since a Spyro game has made me go the bosses are also actually bosses again thank bosses you've got nasty norc with his very supportive bra and he is a little easy yeah but he's boss one and he puts up way more of a fight compared to Spyro 1 as a final boss then there's the sea woman who is honestly completely pathetic but can you please wait I really need a nap she isn't a threat whatsoever even this Mammoth here is more of a danger and the first time you see him rip relax buddy Spyro's still alive I know because if he weren't we'd be going back to a previous save oh yeah speaking of you this is the first game in the series where we can actually control Hunter well you know on the ground and not flapping and I find it really fun it's basically more of Spyro's gameplay but with quicker movement no Glide and a focus on long range Arrow combat and puzzles it's like a fast-paced Zelda minigame that allows you to jump and climb up easier and I welcome the switch up whenever it happens CSK behind me well it looks like you're not gonna fit through there you know what you're right I can't fit in there and that's not all we also have the new playable character blink the mole the professor's nephew ah back in the good old days of wearing the first letter of your name on your hat your feet looking like giant suction cups and for God's sakes man put some trousers on I will admit that these aren't the best bits of the game for me but I don't hate them they're just the idea is that you run around a series of underground caves search for dark crystals and then blow them up with a limited supply of bombs you can find elsewhere in the tunnels it controls fine but all of his segments are visually identical he isn't the most acrobatic mole I've ever seen you know like how moles are known to be and it takes so long to find all the crystals even longer if you miss a hidden area above or below you and have to backtrack and then after you get through it once you have to do it again for another collectible which is just the exact same mini game in the same level design all over again but with double the crystals to blow up and more tunnels to get through after going through the other tunnels you already went through earlier on the first mini game look but like I said they aren't that bad just a little tedious especially once you focus on first person aiming for clearing out enemies and realizing that the butt squash move is probably the best move he has for fighting in close combat don't bother with the gun and don't bother with his punches then there's Sergeant bird yes he came back sadly his free-flying exploration is gone his unblinking eyes have gone his butt crack is gone and his walking speed is oh God but even though I used to loathe these parts of the game as a kid because I mean he's not how he is in Spyro three he's not even using his arms to fly he's not a real penguin I actually massively enjoy them nowadays because they are this game's version of the classic PS1 Speedways but with the ability to fire locked on missiles on the targets from really far away while flying another direction to find and hit something else and drop bombs at the same time to tackle multiple targets at once in front of you and Below you these are pretty great I don't mind playing them once and then again with all the targets being rearranged you are all wrong about this but I'm insecure about my thoughts and I'd need someone else to agree with me and luckily chadtronic does don't you so I asked my deposit because it said there was too much poop on everything and too right then you have spots being playable again and I know you'll never fit into that these parts are the worst bit of the game they suck they're annoying you can barely see what's coming to Maul you because sparks's enormous fat ass has always taken up the whole screen his bullets don't really feel like they hit anything reliably and there are zero invincibility frames meaning if you get stuck in a collapsing ceiling you can lose all of your health in a matter of two seconds oh yeah you also have to play these twice as well and the second attempt throws more enemies and less power-ups to help you out than the first attempt you will enjoy it do I want to play again for fun are you high oh yeah I completely forgot to mention money bags yes he's back now and for the first time I don't mind him here he sells extremely useful items all over the place for you like the ability to carry more than one chest key on you at once double gems for a limited time an extra Shockwave power up for your head bash and a variety of Handy Elemental breath bombs that I used all the time none of which is an issue to me because gems themselves are not part of completion now their currency and to be honest I can't be upset with someone that thinks I'm his Sugar Daddy ah there you are my favorite wallet he's a communist and also I think he's forgotten my name in terms of presentation I think the game looks incredible even to this day the character animations are really impressive and the soundtrack is one of Spyro's best no sarcasm [Music] [Applause] [Music] you can't get me to hate this game nah you can't even get me to dislike it even when it's occasionally really slow and annoying I have nothing but respect for a game that tells you oh you can't charge on ice it won't work naughty naughty but it still lets you try it how sweet is that I'm not a fish and a dragon oh a sea dragon got it chicks I always knew canceling so you've beaten the game explored all the world swam around looking very important and fine red the dragon who I still can't work out where his name came from like the other bosses in the game he isn't that hard in fact you fight him twice in the game the first time where you can just melt all of his attacks before they touch you and the second time where he becomes a Gundam don't let that intimidate you though because when you get his own minions to shoot him back he just stands there and allows himself to die and in the ending cutscene he gets put in a bottle and The Game Stops wow that's an ending that is unless you collect everything and beat the game 100 which I did maybe there'll be another secret hidden level or something whatever the bonus is please be good perhaps we should just turn off the TV for a while good idea make mine baloney I said please and then we get a credit sequence which is a totally black screen because I'm playing this on the Xbox 360 which glitches it all out and means you can't even see it but it's okay I mean who needs to see anyway sometimes you just gotta go with where the wind takes you and see what surprises what did you do that for Andrew van what's that boy you have another game for me and it's a sequel to A Hero's tale that came out exclusively on the Nintendo DS and it's the final game in the original series continuity to come out well burst my balloon come over here and give me a kiss right so taking a page from the book of Kingdom Hearts Spyro decided to make a story relevant canonical official sequel to his console based platforming series on the Nintendo DS and nowhere else but I don't mind I can handle it I'm a stud it is known as Simon shrinking legs and this is the final game to feature Spyro as we've known him up until this point the end of the classic Spyro continuity so even though the last portable exclusive was the cortex conspiracy where I'm certain that the only conspiracy there was to piss off me maybe they'll actually go all out with this and end on a high note okay okay not a bad title screen here when you look at it like this at least but in real life it looks more like Spyro has a really long weird neck vacation can't last forever you know even for you [ __ ] I haven't even had one I've been trying to go on holiday for seven games now oh oh no oh no no no no no is this is this how fast we're going to move for the whole game what is this what is this jump it's not a jump it's like you're being vacuumed up to the roof I can't figure out where the hell I'm landing and I can't get any distance with this oh and what's this I can't Glide what is this game oh hello there old you want me to follow you no problem watch out we've got combat now [Music] this game was made by Amaze entertainment well now I can see why it's terrible but I'm gonna calm down and fall asleep for a second maybe I'll have a clear ahead in the morning um okay what is this massive screw off what is that thing what is that what is it ah get away from me you eyeball leggy Johnny when did this game decide to become siren blood curse why didn't you warn me oh wait a second you did Shadow Legacy is an action RPG which is not a thing I was expecting to say today you explore the world fight enemies to gain XP use magic spells level up and use the touchscreen to cast spells which feels completely tacked on and unnecessary just like a real DS game and very similar to how this game moves the main storyline onto the DS for no discernible reason the gameplay is kind of like Kingdom Hearts as well if Sora went around head butting everything in place and had a bath in glue without a shadow of a legacy this is the slowest and most boring action RPG I've ever played and I mean that as literally as I can muster enter the dragonfly was slow but it was at least trying to be faster just imagine for a second what this game would look like if it lagged playing this game feels like you're stuck with a sleep paralysis demon you'll be sludging along with it minding your own business and then every so often you'll wake up and realize how slow you're actually going and then go look I'm just gonna be real for a second I couldn't stand playing this I gave it a few hours of my time but it's just so boring and so uneventful that even if I finished it I don't think I'd have anything else to add to what I'm saying so I gave up on it here's a condensed version of my playthrough wow I'm charging and it's still it's still taking a while wait why aren't the Rocks breaking immediately when I charge into them do you want me to stop moving do you think I'm going too fast why aren't my attacks connecting yes this looks this looks completely fine to me hang on what's stopping me from going around this what's stopping me you want me to go all the way around to the other side ah speed up get a move on you flu jab but a second you need magic points in order to there's still three people to save what do you mean people they're Dragons I'm saving dragons am I playing Spyro the person here is a cameo from Brand Daniel but this concludes the Cameo from Brand Daniel you know what I honestly don't care if the mechanics get better or the story gets better I am not spending my precious minute on this Earth playing something as slow and as abysmal as this don't play this game you could say I'm being unfair but nope I don't even know if I want to play the next few games I just want to get in the car and leave what why can't I get come on get out get get off get what pink poo bag on your keys Pink poo bag on your keys it's not a bag for pink poo it's the color of the bag use it to pick up your dog poo or use it to pick up other people's dogs pink poo bag on your keys Pink poo bag on your keys you look so cool you might freeze pink poo bag on your keys oh no I've lost my keys oh they're where the poo bag is walking the dog forget a bag put it on your keys you slag I'm best friends with my bag in England we call this a word you shouldn't say pink poo bag on your keys Pink poo bag on your heart four I've got nothing much else to add here what do you want from me leave me alone in 2006 everyone was sick of the poor batting average of cheeky platforming kiddie Spyro so then they hit the reset button and started a brand new Trilogy known as The Legend of Spyro starting off with the appropriately titled A New Beginning or as it's more commonly known the legend of Simon a nice bailiff this was made by Chrome Studios this time and I have never played this game before so do you want to know what I think it's different so it stinks see you later I'm gonna enter the dragonfly so now we're not a baby game anymore we're going darker and way more serious I mean it worked so well with a three foot Hedgehog why can't it work with a bright purple three foot Dragon we're dealing with the origins of Spyro from his egg hatching to learning the truth about his past and there's an innocent Dragon cursed by a dark master but we don't realize that until we need to kill her and all sorts is going on we aren't in a cartoon anymore Sunshine we're now in Lord of the Rings and so who better to get involved in this game than with the Lord of the Ring himself Elijah Wood providing the voice of Simon for the very first time alongside the voice of Gary old man and I will say this right now Elijah gives us the best delivery of the no cliche I think I've ever seen oh and who wants to see the newest Sparks catch up or give up chunky no no right so we've gone from a collect-a-thon platformer to side-scrolling minigamer to action RPG so logically we've made the next step to an action adventure beat em up but now Sparks looks like a DreamWorks and Spyro looks like a drunk and I will say right now I don't hate this game but I don't like it that much either yeah well I don't like you either oh buns you're such a kid steer I'm not joking man I'm calling the FBI leave me alone I'm busy no need I am the FBI I promise all of you I'm going into this with as open of a mind as I can but I don't know guys the basics are here and they're playable but there's so many catches and snags I can't get around stuff like the upgrade points not having any on-screen indication how much you have so you have to keep pausing and looking in the upgrade menu to check yourself I find that the moves are way too slow to come out for how fast the enemies move around you if you're stuck and surrounded in a group there's no way to quickly Dodge out of it and yeah you can Dodge with this weirdly sluggish strafing move but you aren't going to dash away to safety anytime soon by doing this not to mention there's no lock-on so you can't even choose what Target to swap around while you do the strafing and no matter what you do you will eventually be overwhelmed by enemies called fisty grin Thief not that it's a big deal though because if you die nothing happens you just carry on from a few seconds ago okay then honestly I just prefer spamming fire bombs it's easily the most effective and Powerful attack to deal with all the groups and it can also make the game look like spreaded mustard you can double jump and you can glide which I do appreciate but there's barely any real point to it you're still majorly railroaded from Samy combat encounter to samey combat encounter without really being able to explore anything Secrets aren't really a thing anymore either the focus here is definitely the combat but the issue is this ain't no Devil May Cry or Bayonetta it's stupidly basic even the different Elemental breath attacks don't change the fact that you're still pressing variations of the same three buttons without much else going on and I know a ton of people wanted me to go in depth here and will really hope to see what I thought about a nearly 20 year old reboot about a lizard but here's the thing I can fill the video with empty fluff and just talk your ears off lying about how much I can talk about if you want me to or I can be honest and honestly this isn't doing it for me it's just too bland I've got nothing to say about it it's not as awful as everyone around me at the time made me think but it is a little bit now I don't mind the New Direction here at all but my issue with it is that a it's not done that well to begin with and I could be playing any other hack and slash or beat em up that's already better out the gate and B it's still Spyro this isn't what I wanted to play a Spyro game for it would be like if you made Crash Bandicoot the star of seven sins and look here you can throw all of these pretty story but cutscenes at me but at the end of the day it's still a kids game about a purple dragon it's not that deep kind of like the combat Plus in nearly every scene Spyro is always like oh my gosh what's that Sparks is always like hey what's the deal with airline food and everyone else around him is always like Biro you must seek the strength of your courage with a passion of wisdom so the darkness can be defeated by the honesty of your loyalty shut up you old hog stick feeling like a million bound and I'm out here with my pals I've got a million Subs so I've got a billion pounds feeling like a million feel like a milli I want a milli I have a million shoes oh great I didn't love a game that had dark Epic Fantasy overtones in it and now I've woken up the legendary Warrior vinegar it'll take him at least a week to get to me so I better look at the sequel to this as quick as I can one year later in 2007 Chrome were brought back on to continue the story in the legend of Simon the empty niece and it follows on directly from the last game the not bad guy possessed by the real bad guy Cinder gets saved from Simon so he takes her home she leaves one day and Spyro dies oh wait no he didn't now you've got to go and save the world from the moon no time to lose Hit the Road Jack laughs Inspire the Eternal Night is nearly exactly the same as before so automatically I know I'm not going to love it but there are a few neat little additions here there's added slow-mo to take down animations there's more areas to explore for upgrade material which is very welcome there's way more jumping and gliding sections to break up the combat the elemental breaths actually provide you with different kinds of attacks rather than just different colored variations of the same basic attack and this final blast move looked cool before but now it can rip through the fabric of reality and turn Spyro inside out on paper I should really get along with this game even though I still don't like how sparks looks like the mask and spyra somehow looks even more oblivious than before spiral your place is here your destiny is here is it just me or is this game way harder like annoyingly harder I don't know what do you think Elijah would it's dangerous for her to be outside the temple at night oh yeah all right I see where you're coming from I understand your opinion I don't know if I'm just exhausted after playing through 12 games up to this point but I found Eternal Night to be so much harder than a new beginning and not in a good way it was harder than arranging a funeral on WhatsApp the starting enemies from the beginning of the game do not let up everything attacks you relentlessly and your health drains like a drain especially when you get stun locked into a group encounter and they just tag team spam attacks until you're out for the count this happens way too frequently you still attack slower than the enemies do but now the lack of being able to cancel out of a combo or Dodge roll to get the hell out of there makes that so much more apparent and hey look they brought back one of my favorite parts of the first GBA Game season of ice off-screen dog piling yeah remember that isn't it fun I think the devs knew how much harder this game was than the first and that's why they put way more health and breath power crystals around the place to help alleviate the beatings but the issue is the lack of Mobility if you get into a bad spot during a fight you will not be able to move over to these crystals fast enough before it's game over again I found myself doing so many pot shots and running away just to survive and yeah the ice breath here is much more useful than the first game and does make crowd control a bit more manageable but it's too little too late man I just can't be bothered to see what else the game has to offer me after such an awful first impression and that's exactly how I felt when I first saw Elvis the alien wasn't it tell me again what's your favorite Spyro game what you disgust me and listen here all right I love a long cut scene I'm a rock solid hard man give me uninterrupted dialogue and dramatic pauses all over the place I can handle it but we're dealing with a story that isn't deep or interesting enough to justify how many cut scenes are piled on here sometimes back to back it's like if someone sat you down and showed you a lore video about Barney oh what's that we can slow down the game at will gee that's Neato I always wanted to turn a Spyro game in to enter the dragonfly on command and before you ask no slowing the game down doesn't help with large brutal group encounters that much and even if it did the game doesn't slow down around you you slow down as well so you're either choosing unfun unforgiving Alleyway mugging or Shadow Legacy on purpose because I just couldn't wait to go that slow again I have never wanted to stop playing a game as quick as this before in my life and it's really annoying because I was really enjoying all the good changes but the rest of it nah I don't feel like cheese grating off my fingers for fun I already do that let's go see ya see Sparks has already had enough he's gone and with no sparks that means no more games so finally I can do the show that I've always wanted to do roll it [Music] [Music] there's one more you inbred oh vinegar okay guys we're nearly there I promise dawn of the Dragon on the Xbox 360 also known as Simon door of the door and I guess Chrome Studios weren't trusted anymore after the reception of the last two games so for the final game of the trilogy and indeed the final game in the whole Spyro timeline Sierra entertainment hired a new company to make this one called air trying to pop this mummer in and bake it a gas Mark 10. oh god oh me oh my I've gotta make another video about these things haven't I okay here we are Xbox 360 dashboard haven't looked around it for a while but yes hmm the story of this game is that Spyro and Cinder are trapped in a piss Rock and it's time to let them out but not really because we're also going to trap you again why did you let them out okay so right out of the gate the game looks and runs amazingly actually is that a Dodge roll oh [ __ ] son it's a Dodge roll and what's this way more crowd control attacks and area attacks to clear out enemies you can grab enemies now for extra combo potential holy [ __ ] is Spyro eating that guy Spyro can fly fly what yes pyro can fly gusts of wind to stop you from flying everywhere you want yes yes quick time events hey well you know how oh my God is that Hunter Hunter is back oh no he doesn't look sound or feel even vaguely like the same hunter from the last games but I don't care that somehow makes the game good why didn't you tell me about this salty DK Dan yeah I thought so bastard what's this a vat of extra platforming challenges based around gliding and climbing to reward you with hidden upgrade materials all over the place character switching for entirely new Elemental breath attacks that can be used for combat and way more puzzles to solve and it was then that caddy realized that this whole time he had a diabetic coma wow this game is what are you doing dawn of the Dragon I like you no in fact I really like you I can't believe I'm saying this and I'm sad it's taken until the third game of the reboot Trilogy for me to say but this is legitimately an extremely good game it's got the balance between explorative collecting that Spyro is best known for and the combat that the Legend series is best known for and merges them seamlessly while improving the combat of the Legend series it really helps how there's like a million new moves to play with instead of the same handful of combos we had before there's ground combat aerial combat grabbing combat and the breath combat is tons better you've got fire ice electricity and Earth all unlocked from the start and do even more different things than they've ever done before some are great for group damage some are great for dispersing crowds some are great for stuns and some are great for continuous gradual damage and with cinder now being playable you can switch to her whenever you want and pick her Elemental breasts poison fear Shout Shadow and wind too many beans in combat you still don't have a lock-on feature but it doesn't matter because not only do you have a Dodge roll to better position yourself to avoid damage quickly finally but most of the time the camera ends up being locked onto a scenario and pulled back like a PS2 God of War Game allowing you to see the whole Battlefield making off-screen threats no issue at all and when the camera control is given back to you my humps look at this there are multiple large sprawling open worlds with tons of Secrets and optional routes to explore with Gorgeous music in the background yeah sure whatever the game slows down in bigger areas but it's a small price to pay for what is the most liberating and unironically magical Spyro game so far this is so good dude it took another four games for me to get to this point but I'm so happy to play another Spyro game that makes me go I'm still gonna prefer the collect-a-thon stuff that's just what Spyro does best if you ask me but if you want to shoehorn him into these trendy edgy bar fights this is how you do it can you believe it up is not jump I've never played Spyro I don't know why I'm in this video but I mean this is cool yeah well I couldn't believe it so shove off this game man after all the toss that we've tossed through this actually warms my heart [Music] am I dead there's no time to die ah hi I'm long Dennis oh yeah how are you doing long well you know I'm just being long can you get out but before I go it's time to play in one hand I have another game for you and in the other I have the wetty Betty I don't want to play can you please just give me this here we go stop being long for one second and please just give me the oh no you're out of time get ready for the wetty Betty [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] oh well done and for being such a good sport have a bottle oh and here is your prize Skylanders long Dennis I never want to see you ever again oh yeah I know for most normies Spyro Ended as a series in 2008 with Dawn of the Dragon but no mate if you want to call your game Spyro's Adventure you're damn sure gonna make it into a video about Spyro games released in 2011 the first Skylanders game was at least originally yet another Spyro reboot for a younger crowd and the best way to go about that is by turning the adorable little boy into a vampire French Bulldog foreign if we were fighting together in a war against the same enemy I would shoot you first if you don't know what Skylanders is well I've actually already looked at one in an older video and explained what the game is so you know what I'm gonna do now I'm gonna put the clip of me talking about it right here because I've been going on for two hours can you please let me have this Skylanders is a series of simple 3D beat em up platforming games in the Spyro Mythos except that it requires the use of a USB Portal Device in order for you to place different figures onto the portal and have them pop up in the game different figures have different abilities to get by different obstacles and unlock different Secrets thank you for explaining that me it was very hard now the copy of Skylanders I found on eBay was brilliant wanna know why because it came with a giant box of figures that I didn't want look at these like what am I what am I supposed to what am I supposed to do with all of these well I guess we can at least look at them who is starring in the final original release of a game with Spyro still in the title well we've got Spyro Sparks Cinder fire Spyro Thomas the Tank Engine fish fish Steve Irwin Spyro Spyro boat and shoe truth be told I actually think all of these little guys are pretty cool but I'm not here to be nice let's play the game I am Eon your guide in this world but where are you you may ask that is a very good question this is Eon and this is chaos Eon is good chaos is bad and Chaos also sounds like he's taking one giant breath in while holding his nose right then level one let's see what's good oh oh wait a second I think my controller's broken I can flame and I can charge but I can't jump ah you know what actually no maybe it's just because this is the tutorial this is a kids game after all the jumping might come later wait so let me get this right we've gone from gliding to gliding and hovering to no hovering to no gliding to no jumping yeah all right bye [Music] no bad boy you know what it would be so nice of you to use your giant Wings to get over this tiny little hop but no I've got to go all the way around here and walk into this bouncy drain cover instead I mean [ __ ] hell you don't even charge for longer than a couple of seconds before getting tired what's this an achievement happy hour I'm way ahead of you and so I said you put that in my pie hole and I'll have a wolf I am starting to get sick to my guts with how slow Spyro likes to go in a lot of his games even if you wear a speedy propeller cap it doesn't seem to make Spyro or any of his new bastard friends run any faster and mixing that in with no jumping makes this not even slightly fun for me then as you go on through the game there'll be side areas only unlockable from Friends of a certain class which I don't mind but more often than not it will randomly pop up and tell you that oops you're weak all of a sudden time for you to swap out to wet Spyro otherwise you'll take much longer than necessary to kill enemies that aren't weak to the class the game tells you to swap different no reason it's not really a video game and more like a sit-up regime we gotta get those tubby kids there exercise sitting down playing games all day so why don't we give them muscly thumbs and a six-pack oh and this dude here is called Gill Hey look it's Gill what the Gill section is over something that I didn't realize until now is that these figures actually save data yeah they're not just a controller input they're memory cards that keep data in their feet so then in one area after swapping to someone with the correct class that I needed to I ended up with someone born in 1947 that was level 10 and had a small business loan in the bank that just comes with getting these figures pre-owned I guess sure I could reset them from the menu but that means I'll go back to having like two attacks and not jumping anywhere and running slowly so can you get off my dick these cutscenes are really long and I don't know why you can't skip them because as we all know fortnite children love watching long videos in the middle of playing their games come on I don't want to watch any of this I want to get to the next level of doing nothing but running around and hitting two buttons wait you're a Skylander aren't you yes and you're a golf club aren't you sorry about the live balls Hugo but we were able to rescue Cali hey Ben remember the time we saw a Spyro the Dragon and I was afraid I know what you're thinking surely this isn't all you do in the main game is it yeah it is you run around spam attacks and don't jump anywhere what do you do in the optional challenges run around spam attacks and don't jump anywhere oh wow look at this incredible new land to explore what am I gonna get to do in it run around spam attacks and don't jump anywhere and I'm sorry I am still in shock over the fact that Spyro can't jump Spyro the winged Beast can't get over this tiny Gap so how does he get over the Gap he assaults a tortoise and shoves it into the Gap to walk on top of it that's how Spyro gets over a gap I'm playing a game called Skylanders where you are unable to ascend towards it here's a tower I've got to smash don't you like smashing smashing as fun right well here's how you smash in Skylanders [Music] [Music] even when you get to something completely different like a turret section in a hero's Tale the turret sections were frantic extremely fast challenging and honestly I kind of enjoyed them but here you thank you please understand I am not looking for much like Gandhi at a Christmas buffet I don't need to own the world to be happy but I physically am unable to understand the appeal of a game like this aside from the figures to collect which you can do anyway without playing the damn game and it's also great to play the game and then get constantly advertised to about the other figures I can get hey thanks for buying our game kids but your parents didn't get you enough without the figures what is this it isn't really anything and it definitely isn't Spyro it's transparently obvious that the subtitles Spyro's Adventure was slapped on to sell a brand new IP nobody would care about if he wasn't on it parade his corpse over the front of the box to pretend it's his game but hey don't go too far we won't have him talk at any point in the game or make a story about him or have any of the characters address him by his name you know the name that's on the front of the Box nobody will notice well you know what Activision I noticed people like to not count this as a Spyro game but if you're gonna spit his name on the box and claim it's his Adventure then I'm gonna treat it like one and to be quite blunt I've booked too many cameos of this video and I don't know how to fit them in isn't that right blueberry Dana rage Digimon Digi to the next level game apologist Guru Larry John Riggs LS Mark Matt mcmuscle's Nitro rad rerez tenning's traffic Uncle Silva and Wayne is boss and don't even get me started on a lazy she threatened me with a carving knife if I didn't put her in this video so there you go what please leave my family alone ah look I found an anvil I put it on his head perfect I fixed his ugly whoa what's this I can upgrade now and unlock new abilities I can give Spyro flight yes thank you Christ now we can still not go anywhere yeah thank you you're the drag drag oh what's that the game froze oh that's a shame oh and the game is recyclable gee that's good [Music] I did it I saved the trees so that's it 10 years later after I said that I would do it I finally made a video about all of Spyro's main games happy million Subs out of the 14 games I played for this video sadly I ended up only liking slash loving six of them less than half but does that make Spyro a bad franchise as a whole not at all because I think that the good stuff is so good it vastly overshadows the bad he is a dragon of quality not necessarily quantity and to be fair it does take a lot for something to make me and you know there's definitely still a market for Spyro to come back I mean we all saw how great the reignited trilogy was for the most part so I'm not against giving him another shot I'm in Christ if kashiba Nuka can get an official proper fourth game 20 years after the third one why can't Spyro and yeah that's exactly why I think katica would be a really good addition to Pokemon I couldn't have said it better myself actually yeah I could I don't think it would harm Simon by giving him a proper four that isn't this but for now the only question I want an answer to Is what do I do with these well ah bonjour everyone it's me the chef sandwich and you just called me inside me love reading the Poo cookbook very disappointing two stars no [ __ ] in it but today I also have a new recipe to try as high as possible and then you get the vegetable oil and soup by the way it's excited to start cooking properly you can also take your portal as you can put it on the stool like that and then you turn it over every so often and until it's brown on both sides once you start seeing all of the people's faces coming off so like that you know your you know you're on the right track oh oh dear steam Steamroller oh the faces will start peeling off and zenza wings will actually become Flappy this is the most important part of the recipe when you have to get the the delicacy of the shark properly cooked because I caught that um from the water oh I'd say I'd say that's a mock improvements that yeah we didn't really like his face so we just thought Blank Slate you know we can just put a new face on him now now it's starting to smoke that means that we're really getting going now so as you could see like his arm came off and attached itself to his other arm when and when oh easy peasies or fumes make me Wheezy ah the first base has come off hello feet hello lady of what used to be a lady Spyro is going oh he's bronzing look at that he looks like some sort of special gold you find in the mine I'm very happy with how this is all going so far but I mean God don't don't do this [ __ ] I'm crying don't do this I can't actually handle the smell anymore am I feeling sleepy and my my mouth tastes of coins so I'm going to pass you on to my sous chef aha bonjour everyone it's me the sous chef Pizza we have to cool it down with the water and then eventually after it swum around in its nice little Pond scum we have to pick the best pieces to put in the suicide and then sadly all of these pieces here even though it's very high quality meat it's all kind of congealed together and we can't fit that in a sausage sauce I'll probably serve that up with some onions and mushrooms and have a nice steak but we can at least put Spyro and uh [Music] Tree in there now we have to do the most important bit we have to get our sausage links out just like here luckily they come individually wrapped for your convenience unravel it look at that perfect little Saucy skin put Simon in there yes and I'll also put in the the ladies feet I'll put that in there as well there you go we have Skylanders sausage raped for her pleasure raped for her pleasure remedy foreign [Music] [Music] [Music] foreign [Music] [Music] unexpected item in bagging area oh we really didn't like that [Applause]

After 84 years, Caddy finally hit 1 million subs and we finally have his Spyro video!

[u/mcpw]

We went from hell to heaven to limbo with Spyro in the time it took to make this video lmao. I started watching him in 2013, good PS1 content was so much rarer.

As a Spyro novice this has renewed my interest in exploring the series. I didn't take to Spyro 1 that well when I jumped in with the Re-Ignited Trilogy and Caddy reinforcing that it's actually not an amazing game does get me thinking I wasn't off-base with my thoughts and that Ripto's Rage or Year of the Dragon could still come through.

I also want to try A Hero's Tail and the Legend of Spyro trilogy as a result of this video as well.

Alt Right Winnie The Pooh is one of the things he described a Moneybags as and I lost it.

I like Caddy, but the guy has a unique talent in glossing over the significance of some games.

Why does he describe Spyro 1 as a Banjo-like game? Not only does this diminish Spyro's role in pioneering the 3D collectathon-platformer, but it ignores that more people would be familiar with Spyro rather than Banjo-Kazooie since the former outsold the latter. Both games released in the same summer when both only had Super Mario 64 as a reference point. So why is Spyro 1 the one called "standard"? Compared to what?

Moreover how are you doing the same thing in every level? The first game may lack the minigames of the sequels, but there are many different quests/missions to complete. In Peacekeepers Home, you use the cannons to break open the treasure chests. Cliff Town has you find and flame all of the cauldrons in the level to collect the gems. In Alpine Ridge, you make your way through the obstacle course. In High Caves, you need to navigate the cave while bypassing the indestructible spiders to reach the superflame powerup that lets you kill them. In Tree Tops, you learn to use the supercharge to chase down the thieves. Lofty Castle focuses on freeing the trapped fairies. Jacques has the timed platform routes. Wtf is he talking about?

One of my favourite things about Spyro 1 is how the challenges are more raw and focused. Kind of like Jak 1.
