Funny personal story about this game - When I grew up my Dad used to download new games and burn them on discs, cause we were a little on the shorter side of money. So me and my Brother never knew which game was on it, cause his english was very bad. Sometimes the games wouldnt even start, sometimes they were in languages we didn't understand, sometimes they were horribly inappropriate games for children. So this game was one of those and I actually loved it, since I never played a Spyro game before. I percieved every technical flaw to be just due to the burned CD being low quality as most of the games we got had issues. I was just glad I could play it. It's pretty funny in retrospect
This is a similar story to me, but not with Spyro. Moreso with movies, but this guy named Addie would make us illegal copies of games and movies. At one point, he even advertised in the newspaper. I'm guessing that was a big mistake because he disappeared one day. I still have a few of his games and movies, but I doubt any of them would work anymore.
This is the only Spyro game I ever played as a kid and I thought everybody who liked Spyro was just a moron because I figured all the other games were like this.
This is game is one of core memories of my childhood, my sister and I would often just wander around the areas and make up our own stories or just swim in the luau gate area for the "hawaii vibes", never had the other games though, wish we had them too
@@FerreTrip No, you only need something like 60% to face him (I'm not sure on the exact numbers, but it's a little over half). The second phase opens at something like 80%, then the final phase at 100%.
Until I got into the Spyro Speedrunning community, I thought this game honestly was a fever dream I had as a child, lol. I had vague memory of a Spyro game where you catch dragonflies in bubbles, but never saw it anywhere. I kinda want TfB to make a remake of this game that's built from the ground up or at the very least a finished game.
dude same. i had this memory of playing some spyro level were you slide down a vulcano and i thought it was just a fever dream because this memory is so weird. took me a while to realize there was another spyro game i played as a child. i always replayed the first 3 and hero tails but never this one.
Same! On both thinking it was a fever dream and wanting tfb to remake it from the ground up. Because I really love the *concept* of this but someone needs to give it the love and attention it deserves so it doesn't end up another horrible half finished garbage heap lol.
Yeah, TfB needs to give this game another chance. Best part is that they'll only be remaking a small part of a game, instead creating the rest from scratch, because this game's hella short for a Spyro game.
The reason that ripto is the villain of this game, is that Universal told the game designers to add him. The villain of the game was going to be an original character that was a dragon, but Universal refused it saying "There are no bad dragons in Spyro!" Which isn't even true because the Sorceress was a dragon. Universal didn't want them to make something too new because it might "alienate" the original audience.
@@ChannelRiot My mistake! Still though, the statement that there are no evil dragons in Spyro's universe is weird. Especially since in the first Spyro game you literally have the first dragons you see, berating and insulting Gnasty who isn't even in the same room! While that isn't "evil" it's definitely not good either, so it's not like they don't have the ability to be evil.
First I've heard of that, it was my understanding based on the old script found in the game's files that this game's story would have been based on what was hinted at in the epilogue of Spyro 3 and have Ripto and Gnasty Gnorc teaming up to beat Spyro. It sounds like the "evil dragon" concept got recycled for A Hero's Tail, at least, same for Gnasty Gnorc when he didn't appear in this game at all
@@dragon666777 yeah. Still annoying that Equinox had to jump through hoops to get this game even in the state that it is now, and then literally in the next game their first completely rejected idea gets used in AHT.
@@Romanticoutlaw I would of at least been five when it came out, but that definitely not when I first got it. I would say around 10 maybe? Where's there like a remaster made between that time, or something? Like the graphic (the shading specifically) looked much better on my copy and I don't remember any frustrating glitches-- not to mention I was those types of kids to get PISSED at games. So idk.
@@lizzy532 You're likely just misremembering it. I also had this game when I was little and liked it but now realize how different my perspective was a kid.
@@lizzy532 I had the same feeling about FFXII. Though psx2 version with upscaled textures looked like I remembered it. I think it's due to distance to screen, you usually sit further from TV than PC screen so everything looks fancier.
I remember thinking the graphics were really good when I first played, because as a child I had no taste. That being said, the music definitely holds up, spyro music is always a jam
I grew up with this Spyro game and I LOVED it. Apparently everyone hates it but yeah, I sank sooo much time into it as a kid. Playing multiple savefiles. Loved it.
God, I remember back in 2003 when I spent 50€ on this game. I loved the first 3 games for the PS1 and then I saw THIS "game" for the PS2 and was like: "Aww yeaaahhh!! Spyro for PS2! Lets go!!". Played it for like 2 hours and then gave up on it. The absolute worst summer vacation ever.
I still have some nostalgic feelings for this game. Somehow as a kid, my mind always glazed over the glitches, so I just thought that this was another cool spyro game when I was a wee child
I remember as a kid I spent HOURS trying to glitch the game out to go through locked gates and walls and managed it way too many times for my age. No guide or internet or anything just an eight year old on a mission
I don't know if anyone else said this, but the final boss does have multiple phases depending on how much has been completed, so since you get to the boss at the very beginning you get just the one phase, and a "Bad" ending
As someone who had cousins that had the first three Spyro games and loved them I was so excited when my parents told me that they got me my very own Spyro game. Imagine how young me felt coming from jealously watching my cousins playing Year of the Dragon to this being my first spyro game...
I have played and finished "A Hero's Tail" and decided to play "Enter the Dragonfly" the amount of suffering in this video pretty much explains how I felt as well.
This is the Spyro game that I grew up with since we found it on sale for like $8, and I loved it so much. So funny seeing it played now and finding out that apparently people find it horrible, I've so many nice memories and would still play this myself even now.
@@HyperSonicXtreme lol. That's not a glitch, it's a feature! I think Crash & Spyro got the short end of the stick in the PS2/Gamecube era. I'm glad to see remakes of their PS1 trilogies (i hope good sales means we csn get new games in the future).
My dad used to dumpster dive for whatever reason Ive forgot why. One day he found this game and a gamecube controller. Me and my sister fell in love with this game.
I loved the original series, and got this on GameCube because all my kid brain knew was that “this is the next Spyro.” Even as a young kid I could tell something was horribly off about the game. If I ever made it to the final boss, I can’t even remember it.
I remember playing this game for like half an hour after picking it up from toys'r'us, and it was absolute torcher, one of the only gamecube games i actually traded in because it was so bad, but i imagine if a lot of the bugs were fixed, it wouldn't be half as terrible.
I'm embarrassed by how much of this game I played as a kid.. and that was after beating the original trio. I guess I was just THAT desperate for another spyro game
*_yeowch_* In this game, even glitches have glitches, so that they don't do what they're supposed to do. A softlock after a phase floor headbash is clearly a glitch.
Okay so there's a glitch with fighting Ripto (at least for me this happened) if you flame him twice as he's running, he becomes invincible. Have no idea why, but that's why I only flame him once, then wait for him to attack P: Also my memory of this game is when I charged up to the mouse Professor (not our Professor) however Spyro ran straight past him and the Prof's dialogue just started as Spyro's running off in the distance, camera focused on him rambling to himself X'D *I'll add a spoiler warning here just in case:* The third boss fight Ripto transforms into a 'final' form.
Yes, this game. Got it on Dolphin... to experiment with the glitches. Like, exploring the speedways with out-of-bounds glitches, trying to find out where I can use the "Walk on air" glitch, etc. Also, I was messing around with the debug menu, as well as Dolphin's free cam, to see what I can find. (Also, I was breaking that game because of the 1.1.0 update of Super Mario Maker 2 patching the Black Hole glitch. But I went back to Super Mario Maker 2 after a few weeks... and it paid off, as I found the 1.1.0 BHG setup and brought the glitch back. Also, I accidentally caused confusion on Twitter (where I have a completely different name (twitter.com/guys_cartoon, for those curious)) regarding the name and the glitch... because I'm not called Go&MiiGudd on Twitter... even though I have a Go&MiiGudd account on Twitter. It's just not used anymore. (twitter.com/guys_cartoon/status/1212608662465851392 is where I tried to clear things up.)) Also, for some reason I wasn't able to do some of the glitches, like the "Wall clip" glitches with the charge and flame abilities. I tried. So, I was just walking *over* the gate and then clipping through the fence to swim in air. Also also, yes, I found out-of-bounds glitches for every stage except Crop Circle Country. It's mainly just "Walk on air" glitches, though. But that shows how OP this glitch is. For Crop Circle Country, I tried ladder glitches but couldn't pull them off. Also also also, HUGE UPDATE FOR ENTER THE DRAGONFLY NO GAME SKIP SPEEDRUNNERS: Recently, I found a glitch which I'd like to call "Enemy Launching". Perform a headbash on *the same frame* you take damage. What happens is that you end up flying several feet up into the air. Once you're at max height, press B to charge and then A after letting go of B to start flying. This may not sound like much, but it does open up lots of possibilities. (Here's a video of the glitch in action: twitter.com/guys_cartoon/status/1219984395345584128 .) Just look at where we were at with this game in 2002 and look at where we are at now. Walk on air, Enemy Launch, loads of other speedrun strats. It's Breath of the Wild all over again (assuming we can't just glitch our way to Ripto, which is what the "Any% No Game Skip", "90 dragonflies" and "100%" speedrun categories are for). Smallant1: "Enter The Dragonfly No Game Skip speedruns in 2020 are INSANE" 12:24 EZScape: "I got the horses in the back, *framerate's really bad* , my sister is my dad." Thanks for that framerate observation.
I might have just been lucky, but back when I had this I never had any major bugs. Maybe it was the disc. Maybe my playstation, or maybe the planets aligned for me. Don't know, don't care because it made this game playable and at least somewhat enjoyable for me at the time.
I remember when I bought this I turned it on and straight back off the lag annoyed me way too much I actually thought the disk was scratched or something lmao
Legend says that if you remove the last two words of the videos title a army of angry spyro fans will drag you to the same lava in riptos rampage but not before obliterating the enter the dragonfly game
Never knew this game was seen as a catastrophe for the series...me and my sister had the best times with this game in our childhood...maybe its a good thing I never played the other parts, so this will stay in a better memory 😂
This is how ive felt playing the reignited trilogy on (a shitty) PC while simultaneously exploring every bit of lag as a potential glitch spot. Except I set all my settings to not make my computer lag and so I don't get a headache from it. Also, the tutorials aren't so fucking obnoxious. Basically, it's all the fun of this and much less of the pain. 10/10 would recommend. hopefully you'll have a PC-compatible controller because all i have is a mouse and keyboard. EDIT: Spoke before the first major graphical glitch....oh god
Some fucked up shit went down behind the scenes, most developers were starving, their health insurance was cut without them even knowing, Universal rejected over 25 different worlds that they had already developed, the CEO of the company that developed the game choked one of his employees over some dumb shit... they did what they could with the tools and timeframe they were given. There’s a documentary about the development of this game somewhere out there I forgot the name but it’s over an hour long and has some of the developers in it explaining what went down
Nothing is wrong with this game. It is a perfect game with no exploits. I still have the first three original games. I played the first one a little while ago or about 2 years ago now that I think about it. No way this is still possible in the remaster?
I had this game as a child. I wish I was not less than ten years old and could see how bad this game was, but I was very young and could not even go through adult link's castle town in Ocarina of Time because I was completely terrified of the Redeads, how would I tell how much a game is crap when I thought it was fun to just run around and jump in a game. But, I think every kid was terrified of Redeads, and even at 16 years old they still creep me out on the HD remake.
Getting stuck in one stop and then stun locked? Wonderful. I forgot how bad this game was... Damn my Spyro fanatic as a kid and playing every game. I thought Spyro Orange was the worst but now I can see why I only played this once lmao

Highly recommend you play the original trilogy, you’ll change your mind about Enter the Dragonfly.
There was a perfectly good fourth Spyro game - it was called Ratchet & Clank.
The Ripto fight is short because it's not the full ending. It reopens for second and third phases once you get a high enough completion percentage.
But that fight is one of the worst EVER! It’s TERRIBLE! 🤢🤮
But...isn't the normal way to get to him at all 100%ing?
@@FerreTrip No, you only need something like 60% to face him (I'm not sure on the exact numbers, but it's a little over half). The second phase opens at something like 80%, then the final phase at 100%.

Honestly I'd love to see a fully remastered version of this, there's some sadly wasted potential here
enter the dragonfly is the best spyro game to speedrun bc the goal is to play as little of it as possible
I have played and finished "A Hero's Tail" and decided to play "Enter the Dragonfly" the amount of suffering in this video pretty much explains how I felt as well.

They should remake Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly. We deserve to get a finished version.
spyro having to work with ripto against a bigger badder villain would have actually been interesting
one of the biggest games of my childhood, ngl never played a different spyro game
I recall renting the PS2 version from a local video store as a teen, and distinctly recall thinking the game felt "off" from the PS1 trilogy.
I remember my sister renting this game at Blockbuster in 2002. It was awful. One glitch has Spyro running on the sky.

wtf were they thinking when they were creating that Ripto boss fight??? This game is a thing of absolute beauty.
Me and my mom played the hell out of this, and I still adore those memories, I'd love to play this again just to relive it a little before vomiting
I can't tell how much of this is the normal game and how much of it is sequence-break-induced jank.

The skip to the final boss was actually intentional, the devs created it so they wouldn't have to play the rest of the fame
So this game is why nobody remembers A Hero's Tail, they all assumed it was just as bad and never played it
Specialopsdave good observation. A Hero's Tail was indeed a good game!
everything in this game is in slow motion
This was the first Spyro game I ever played, it *really* hasn't aged well.
It wasn't even considered good for it's time

This was my first Spyro game, and my last until the remasters. Shame that I missed out on this series because of this game.
Okay so there's a glitch with fighting Ripto (at least for me this happened) if you flame him twice as he's running, he becomes invincible.
Have no idea why, but that's why I only flame him once, then wait for him to attack P:

dialogue just started as Spyro's running off in the distance, camera focused on him rambling to himself X'D

The third boss fight Ripto transforms into a 'final' form.

17:03 shoutouts to alex in chat "Reimu for smash"
At least it still had a soundtrack by Stewart Copeland.
This game was my first spyro game
This was the only Spyro game I owned as a kid... I thought it was good
I might have just been lucky, but back when I had this I never had any major bugs. Maybe it was the disc. Maybe my playstation, or maybe the planets aligned for me. Don't know, don't care because it made this game playable and at least somewhat enjoyable for me at the time.
I remember when I bought this I turned it on and straight back off the lag annoyed me way too much I actually thought the disk was scratched or something lmao
Legend says that if you remove the last two words of the videos title a army of angry spyro fans will drag you to the same lava in riptos rampage but not before obliterating the enter the dragonfly game
Never knew this game was seen as a catastrophe for the series...me and my sister had the best times with this game in our childhood...maybe its a good thing I never played the other parts, so this will stay in a better memory 😂
Even when i was a little kid i wound ways to glitch thro stuff😂
Only thing I like about this game is the music. Especially the soothing home world music 🙂
This is how ive felt playing the reignited trilogy on (a shitty) PC while simultaneously exploring every bit of lag as a potential glitch spot. Except I set all my settings to not make my computer lag and so I don't get a headache from it. Also, the tutorials aren't so fucking obnoxious.
Basically, it's all the fun of this and much less of the pain. 10/10 would recommend. hopefully you'll have a PC-compatible controller because all i have is a mouse and keyboard.
EDIT: Spoke before the first major graphical glitch....oh god
I would genuinely a proper reworking of this game
First 3D Spyro I ever played. Never beat it tho.
I wish they would remaster this game
I loved this game as a kid I can't believe everyone hated it
Some fucked up shit went down behind the scenes, most developers were starving, their health insurance was cut without them even knowing, Universal rejected over 25 different worlds that they had already developed, the CEO of the company that developed the game choked one of his employees over some dumb shit... they did what they could with the tools and timeframe they were given. There’s a documentary about the development of this game somewhere out there I forgot the name but it’s over an hour long and has some of the developers in it explaining what went down
Nothing is wrong with this game. It is a perfect game with no exploits.
I still have the first three original games. I played the first one a little while ago or about 2 years ago now that I think about it. No way this is still possible in the remaster?
I remember my sister renting this game at Blockbuster in 2002. It was awful. One glitch has Spyro running on the sky.
Riptos rage is the best to speedrun
I had this game as a child. I wish I was not less than ten years old and could see how bad this game was, but I was very young and could not even go through adult link's castle town in Ocarina of Time because I was completely terrified of the Redeads, how would I tell how much a game is crap when I thought it was fun to just run around and jump in a game. But, I think every kid was terrified of Redeads, and even at 16 years old they still creep me out on the HD remake.
This is my favorite Spyro game :(
Getting stuck in one stop and then stun locked? Wonderful. I forgot how bad this game was... Damn my Spyro fanatic as a kid and playing every game. I thought Spyro Orange was the worst but now I can see why I only played this once lmao
The best game on Gamecube.
Instead of 60 frames per second it's 60 seconds per frame
you can also play it on ps2 i think
I only played spyro one when I was like 6 on some console
So will you play Half life 1 as Spyro?
Lol i was the one spamming about Lee Hazelwood
