Fun story: I met up with a few speedrunners including saboom and Jeremy awhile back. We went out to a park and had a foot race in a large field. It was here that I learned that jt is actually a competitive runner and left all of us in the dust. Never challenge a wr holder to a foot race
I've never played the Spyro games, but I wanted to shoutout Insomniac Games, as they very well may be the most supportive developers when it comes to speedrunning. Apart from inviting Jeremy and Xem to show how broken their games are, they have also worked with our community to compromise on strats. Many people know about the first person wrench climbing glitch in Ratchet and Clank: Going Commando, but what they won't know is that it was left in on purpose as they thought it was really cool. Furthermore, in the Ratchet and Clank PS4 games, there were a few strats that they had patched out, but they decided to patch them back in specifically because we asked them to do so. In their newest release, Ratchet and Clank: Rift Apart, we discovered a game breaking strat involving a gadget in the game. Insomniac updated the game so that the glitch was still possible, but just a little different so that both casual gamers and speedrunners can have fun. They even added an option in the main menu titled "speedrun settings." They've also joined our discord and told is about upcoming updates and constantly tweet about GDQ runs. If any Insomniac developer sees this, I just wanted to say the speedrun community thanks you and appreciates everything you do.
That's really cool! I've always loved Insomniac, starting way back as a child with the Spyro trilogy, right up to current day with the Spider-Man games, but I didn't know that about Ratchet and Clank! So many games I've played/speedran have had awesome glitches patched out that kinda killed my enjoyment, so that's really sweet that they have a "speedrun settings" option! I hope Insomniac never stops making games.
Man, I remember "Speedrunning" this game as a child. Taking pride in completing this game in few hours or so and seeing this makes me just so happy and wanting to go play Spyro again to test these time saves.
I used to "speedrun" Tony Hawk's Underground when I was a kid. It basically was a speedrun more or less without me realizing it. I saw it as a fun challenge and tried to beat my IGT every time I did run.
Hey Rixy, it's Tsmart from the old days. Glad to see you're still killing it as a content creator :) It's absolutely outstanding to me that the waterfall swim in air became part of a real run. Great work all involved
I remember back in 2017 when I decided to stream me playing spyro 3 on my new twitch account for shits and giggles. Friend showed me a video of a proxy and I was trying to recreate it for a while. Then out of nowhere, the one and only Jeremy Thompson entered my chat. Not only did I not recognize him initially, but my friend had to let me know that he was "THAT guy". It's been an amazing 4 years in an awesome community that I will never forget.
I want to inject your content straight into my veins my dude. I was never really into speedrunning toooo much but the way you present them in this "documentary style" almost is just so damn good, you honestly deserve to be a 1mil+ RUclipsr easily
I'm always impressed watching my friends that speedrun 3 Any and all of the amazing things they pull off in this category but watching a breakdown of this run truly drives home how amazingly proficient he is, especially compared to my friends I watch in awe. Many of these tricks are difficult for my Vortex running self to even grasp. Another thing I'd like to share about Jeremy is that he's very supportive of people that are choosing to learn Spyro 3 as a speed game. He once raided me as I was trying it out not even knowing who I was and gave me some pointers for bridge in Midday Gardens. He's been similarly supportive to a few of my Vortex running friends that have taken a swing at 3 any as well. If you're ever looking to pick up the category and Jeremy isn't around, there are still great teachers in wafflewizard1, ghostlyTrickster and Fady180 to name a few. This game and category can always use more runners, and the community is very welcoming and supporting!
Couldn’t agree more, Spyro 3 any% is a very difficult but very rewarding category. Always a great time to watch others pull off skips that always seems to impress me even to this day.
@@fady1802 Fady is so good at teaching he was able to off the cuff help me with some 3any tech while hungover; apparently it's from the many years of practice.
Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20 Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state. “We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.) Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.) Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894) The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed. The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
It is genuinely impossible to understand how difficult the 6:40 section is unless you've tried it. Frame perfect inputs, perfect movement, in one of the most uncomfortable situations you can be in. Top 3 most difficult bits of the entire series.
It's nice that you have added subtitles. Some terms specific to this game or speedrunning can be a bit foreign and it's great to see the proper spelling to check if I heard right lol
Another video that makes me want to add games to my speedrun bucket list. Really enjoyed the breakdown of the run and the development history along the way. Hard to believe such a benchmark has stood the test of time for so long now.
Wow... What a story. Pushing yourself to the *_absolute limits_* - not just physically, but MENTALLY - speedrunning a video game you love, and also getting noticed by the people who MADE such a game in the first place so you can get to show what you and the friends you made on your journey found to them? Just beautiful. Kudos to Jeremy and Insomniac Games. Update: As of August 22nd, Jeremy has officially lowered his own time by 14 seconds. As of right now, the world record is now at 23 minute and 44 seconds. Absent is trailing close behind Jeremy, with a time of 24 minutes and 3 seconds.
this video is brilliant! i love how you can explain things in an easy-to-understand way without talking down to the viewer. really enjoyed this. also i love you speedrunners dont give any money to moneybags hahah
@@emilystewart6175I wonder what would happen if you got 100% without paying Moneybags... would you just get nothing in the chase, or would you get *even more* gems?
9:38 i literally paused the video as soon as i recognised the music. much like spyro, sheep raider was one of my favourite games growing up and one of the very few that are still fun to play as an adult, and it's a real shame that it isn't more well known. thanks for the fond memories :)
Great video! It sums up well what madness is this category and JT's run! The most impressive thing is how crazy high are his success rate percentages at every trick. Being able to get firefly 1 out of 3 times is already a huge achievement that most runners aren't able to reach
Coming right from the live watch party! We've already discussed the video there but, again, I loved it! Watching it live together made it even more special.
"frame perfect" == "70% chance" damn, this man is good. speedrunning is such a joy of a hobby, and the best communities always feel like teams, the top runners push eachother, and congratulate eachother when a record is stolen. I once saw a runner realize they weren't having fun with a ps1 game anymore (i think it was a platformer? no idea), so they closed it and started learning sekiro. and that's emblematic of speedrunning, the hundreds of hours are worthwhile, and happy, and as soon as they aren't? find something that is. the fun, the camaraderie, the absolute joy in it. it's great.
Seriously when you are conscious of how hard and almost impossible to do only one of those glitches, 20000 attempts is just the number you could expect, success this with only 100 attempts would be much more crazy, but the amount of time he wasted is insane you really need to love this game or speed run to do so or having no life.
Oh man, I can:t describre with words how much I love Spyro 3. So when I found Jeremy's twitch channel, I literally spent hours watching his runs. He's always willing to share some wisdom about the game (while he's playing it, something that is impossible for me 😅). I also have to admit that I was pretty happy when you mencioned Touval, since "The man who broke Spyro in a half" was the first video I saw on this awesome channel. Finally, where can I find the Insomniac × Jeremy stream? That looks so cool!
Watching this video made me appreciate his run even more. Running Spyro 3 any% myself I wasn’t very good but I had no clue how behind I really was. JT is just that good and I’m glad he is getting recognition for his incredible work throughout the years.
Love your videos! I grew up on PS1 and PS2 games and only recently got into learning about the speed running scene. I love the niche you have with that era and your videos!
It's an amazing run. Speedrunning can be considered a strange hobby and, to a degree, it really is. Then again, so is stamp collecting or bird watching or collecting mirrors (true story btw). This isn't helped by the reputation of some runners. But then I remember that every hobby has it's share of nutcases who only make up a small percentage of the entire community. People should do whatever they feel like doing, without harming others or, more importantly, trying to convince others to agree with whatever they think.
man, i remember playing this game as a kid and every once in a while i'd stumble upon these glitches in the game. Never knew what to make of it but it made the game special.
I like watching speedrun breakdown videos almost as much as I like watching the runs themselves; I'm at the point that I can generally figure out what's going on in a run from what I know about other runs, but it's still fascinating to see stuff explained
Goddamn I love your videos more and more. Never played Spyro in my life, not a single version, yet here I am completely blown away by a game and its community. Absolutely glorious.
This video is incredibly well done, it keeps you interested and eager to see more. I like the way things are laid out and the way everything is explained, along with nice editing and showcasing of cool tricks and beautiful spyro worlds. Overall, very great video as well as commentary, who knew that analyzing games in such a way could be so intriguing!
Just watched this after your Crash Bash video and I enjoyed both immensely! Your content has interested me for years and your taste in music is sublime too! Keep up the great work, cheers from a fellow Dane!
I love this game, one of my fave games of all time. But sheesh I had no idea it was this broken and easy to exploit. XD The Lantern loading clear was easy (I got on the bridge once as a kid, I just never thought of trying to jump through the roof of the lantern. Had no reason to as I thought it'd be solid.) Great speedrun.
HOLY shit this is insane. Finish a game in an hour is a huge accomplishment for me. 23 goddam minutes?! I really can't consider that anything else but insanity. This is pure gold.
Thank you for the closing statements towards the end of the video (before and after Insomniac bit). It touched me in a personal level as a person who love doing time attack in racing games. I may not hold any world records in any games i play but i just love grinding time attack just because i want to be better than i already am. Once again, thank you.
Finally got around to watching this, great stuff and I love how positively it ends on a personal note about Jeremy himself and how you take the time to really actively respect the effort he put in! I have to watch that bit with Insomniac devs themselves at some point
Jeremy is still in first spot @ 23:58, second place is 24:41 made 3 months ago as of writing this comment so his record looks pretty safe for the time being
I wonder about PAL side of things, how stuff is done with PAL v1.0 and PAL v1.1 (and for those wondering, no, v1.1 isn't Platinum only version, exists as a Black Label disc as well, "SCES-02835#" on the disc means v1.1, without "#" means v1.0).
Maybe it's just because I grew up with the Spyro trilogy, but I much prefer the original graphics and music over the reignited version. It's nice looking, but the originals bring me back to when times were far simpler. Thank you Insomniac for the amazing childhood I had. Spyro holds a place in my heart.
The crazy thing is that if he got the firefly proxy first try and got a faster scorch fight than the one in the 23 run then he could have had around 10 to 20 seconds less,wich is probably the perfect time.
Spyro 3 is my favorite playstation game, and watching this breakdown of its speedrunning history made me want to go back and replay the game again Great vid 👍
I love when you use Ape Escape music, I would love if you would make a video about that game. Its one of my favourite games of all time up there with Spyro, Jak and R&C, and you are one of my favourite youtubers of all time :)
I'm just barely getting into the mantle of the planet of Speedrunning. Amazing and informative video I couldn't stop watching so great job buddy. And I subbed sir
Has someone ever tried to do some of that proxy jumps to get for example into the balloon early? If it works for the portals, why shouldn't it work for them too?
This is fantastic, my two favourite videos on your channel are the Touval broke spyro in half & the Dayoman Spyro quest videos, so a 3rd video on spyro is my Xmas present, please do more spyro videos if you somehow find more video ideas for them
After watching this video, I feel the urge to derust 3any on my own, haha. Jeremy was my inspiration to start running Spyro 3 and has been a great mentor ever since!
I never played any Spyro game and I don’t plan to play them but this vid was pretty interesting and entertaining I love seeing people exploiting old video games with glitches

Fun story: I met up with a few speedrunners including saboom and Jeremy awhile back. We went out to a park and had a foot race in a large field. It was here that I learned that jt is actually a competitive runner and left all of us in the dust. Never challenge a wr holder to a foot race

Repent and follow Jesus my friend! Repenting doesn't mean confessing your sins to others, but to stop doing them altogether. Belief in Messiah alone is not enough to get you into heaven - Matthew 7:21-23, John 3:3, John 3:36 (ESV is the best translation for John 3:36). Contemplate how the Roman empire fulfilled the role of the beast from the sea in Revelation 13. Revelation 17 confirms that it is in fact Rome. From this we can conclude that A) Jesus is the Son of God and can predict the future or make it happen, B) The world leaders/nations/governments etc have been conspiring together for the last 3000+ years to accomplish the religion of the Israelites C) History as we know it is fake. You don't really need to speculate though because you can start a relationship with God and have proof. Call on the name of Jesus and pray for Him to intervene in your life. - Revelation 3:20
Revelation has been unfolding since Jesus died. The Popes have claimed to be equal to God and set themselves in Jesus' place (antichrist(s)). Vatican City (Which is its own nation BTW) have risen up to fulfill the role of the false prophet
Regarding the man of lawlessness or antichrist, 2 Thessalonians 2:4 says “Who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sits in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.” The restrainer that the Apostle Paul was referring to in 2 Thessalonians was the Western Roman Emperor, who held back the Popes from taking power. Once the last Western Roman Emperor was removed from power in 476 AD, the Pope was given civil and ecclesiastic authority over Rome; healing the deadly head wound of the beast in Revelation 13, as they took the Emperors title of Pontifex Maximus, leader of the church and state.
“We may according to the fullness of our power, dispose of the law and dispense above the law. Those whom the Pope of Rome doth separate, it is not a man that separates them but God. For the Pope holdeth place on earth, not simply of a man but of the true God.” (Source: “Decretals of Gregory IX,” Book 1, chapter 3.)
Pope Pius V blasphemed, “The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” (Source: Pope Pius V, quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous Chapter XXVII: 218.)
Pope Leo XIII declared, “We hold upon this earth the place of God Almighty.” (Source: Pope Leo XIII Encyclical Letter, June 20, 1894)
The antichrist sea beast of Revelation points to the office of the papacy, the Popes of Rome, who controlled the Roman beast for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD.
Daniel 7:25 says “And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.” The Popes of Rome spoke against Elohim and proclaimed to be God. They reigned for 1,260 years, from 538-1798 AD. during which they caused tens of millions of saints to be killed.
The Pope’s title is Vicar of Christ, which in Latin is ‘Vicarius Filii Dei’, and equates numerically to the number 666
It is genuinely impossible to understand how difficult the 6:40 section is unless you've tried it. Frame perfect inputs, perfect movement, in one of the most uncomfortable situations you can be in. Top 3 most difficult bits of the entire series.
Spyro 3 is a game I played a ton of in my childhood. So to see it absolutely destroyed in speedrunning is amazing. Great video!
It's nice that you have added subtitles. Some terms specific to this game or speedrunning can be a bit foreign and it's great to see the proper spelling to check if I heard right lol
RUclips has a neat feature where you can upload your script, so I just have to edit some finishing touches and that's it

Watching this video made me appreciate his run even more. Running Spyro 3 any% myself I wasn’t very good but I had no clue how behind I really was. JT is just that good and I’m glad he is getting recognition for his incredible work throughout the years.
Love your videos! I grew up on PS1 and PS2 games and only recently got into learning about the speed running scene. I love the niche you have with that era and your videos!
Jeremy’s streams are super cozy I hope he starts streaming again soon
It's an amazing run.
Speedrunning can be considered a strange hobby and, to a degree, it really is. Then again, so is stamp collecting or bird watching or collecting mirrors (true story btw).
This isn't helped by the reputation of some runners. But then I remember that every hobby has it's share of nutcases who only make up a small percentage of the entire community. People should do whatever they feel like doing, without harming others or, more importantly, trying to convince others to agree with whatever they think.
man, i remember playing this game as a kid and every once in a while i'd stumble upon these glitches in the game. Never knew what to make of it but it made the game special.
spyro speedrun breakdowns are my comfort series, this is perfect
I like watching speedrun breakdown videos almost as much as I like watching the runs themselves; I'm at the point that I can generally figure out what's going on in a run from what I know about other runs, but it's still fascinating to see stuff explained
Watching these videos made me remember how long and thought out some of these older games were vs what we get these days
Jeremy's profile picture is so adorable.
Amazing video as per usual! Congrats to Jeremy for being so incredible and achieving his goal !
Wow! I’m very impressed with the quality of these videos! This is like baby Summoning Salt!!
JT is one of my favorite runners to watch so great to see him get covered. Can't wait for his return in 2022.
Goddamn I love your videos more and more. Never played Spyro in my life, not a single version, yet here I am completely blown away by a game and its community.
Absolutely glorious.
This video is incredibly well done, it keeps you interested and eager to see more. I like the way things are laid out and the way everything is explained, along with nice editing and showcasing of cool tricks and beautiful spyro worlds. Overall, very great video as well as commentary, who knew that analyzing games in such a way could be so intriguing!
Bro, this made me tear up, keep your stuff going, you got what it takes
I recently have gotten into speedrunning and this community is amazing..I'll never forget the stories along the way.
Congrats JT! Just beat the unbeatable!
Just watched this after your Crash Bash video and I enjoyed both immensely! Your content has interested me for years and your taste in music is sublime too!
Keep up the great work, cheers from a fellow Dane!
I love this game, one of my fave games of all time. But sheesh I had no idea it was this broken and easy to exploit. XD The Lantern loading clear was easy (I got on the bridge once as a kid, I just never thought of trying to jump through the roof of the lantern. Had no reason to as I thought it'd be solid.) Great speedrun.
That Slim Cognition impression is the chef's kiss.
HOLY shit this is insane. Finish a game in an hour is a huge accomplishment for me. 23 goddam minutes?! I really can't consider that anything else but insanity. This is pure gold.
Thank you for the closing statements towards the end of the video (before and after Insomniac bit). It touched me in a personal level as a person who love doing time attack in racing games.
I may not hold any world records in any games i play but i just love grinding time attack just because i want to be better than i already am.
Once again, thank you.
Finally got around to watching this, great stuff and I love how positively it ends on a personal note about Jeremy himself and how you take the time to really actively respect the effort he put in! I have to watch that bit with Insomniac devs themselves at some point
Amazing presentation and narration. I've never seen a Spyro speedrun before, but this was a pleasure to watch!
The bunny picture togheter with that quote makes it so much unbelievably powerful
Jeremy is still in first spot @ 23:58, second place is 24:41 made 3 months ago as of writing this comment so his record looks pretty safe for the time being
Just wanted to let you know it's now at 24:03. Absent is a god
@@GrapevinI hope absent still goes for WR even with JTs new PB
For someone who hasn't watched a Speedrun in years, this video had me soo damn invested
Fantastic video as always! Speedrun videos of Spyro always makes me wanna pick it up again
Love the ape escape background at 6:35
Very quickly becoming one of my favourite youtubers man. Binge worthy content 😍
What an absolute legend. Really inspiring stuff.
Yes to the ape escape backing music- legend
Now thats how you advertise, speaking to me as slim cognito from one of my favorite childhood games, i dont even wana skip this ad! great job!
Gotta love Insomniac being open to this sort of stuff!
That Ape Escape music at the 6:19 mark is a very nice touch.
When Ricky drops a video so you drop what you're doing
I wonder about PAL side of things, how stuff is done with PAL v1.0 and PAL v1.1 (and for those wondering, no, v1.1 isn't Platinum only version, exists as a Black Label disc as well, "SCES-02835#" on the disc means v1.1, without "#" means v1.0).
Watching that first proxy jump just astonishes me.
Edit: All of these proxy jumps astonish me. Jeremy TAS level good, holy shit.
insanely good vid, glad i could finally be at a live premier
Maybe it's just because I grew up with the Spyro trilogy, but I much prefer the original graphics and music over the reignited version. It's nice looking, but the originals bring me back to when times were far simpler. Thank you Insomniac for the amazing childhood I had. Spyro holds a place in my heart.
“mr monopoly looking headass” this is the greatest video ever made
One of my favourite things about Spyro 3 is that all the levels are designed as loops, so the end is always right by the beginning.
It is completely fascinating that there is a community of people who spend mental energy and time on this. Insane.
Devs have no idea how valuable their own commentary on their games' speedruns is... if they did, they'd probably be trying to capitalize on it lol
The crazy thing is that if he got the firefly proxy first try and got a faster scorch fight than the one in the 23 run then he could have had around 10 to 20 seconds less,wich is probably the perfect time.
GREAT VIDEO! This game was my wholeeee childhood. Love seeing it played still
The first 3 Spyro and crash games are my favorite childhood games
Spyro 3 is my favorite playstation game, and watching this breakdown of its speedrunning history made me want to go back and replay the game again
Great vid 👍
I swear man, your videos give me chill every time! Keep up the good work
ThaRixer is my favourite RUclipsr who conveniently uploads around lunchtimes
I love when you use Ape Escape music, I would love if you would make a video about that game. Its one of my favourite games of all time up there with Spyro, Jak and R&C, and you are one of my favourite youtubers of all time :)
I don’t know why this is in my feed, but I’m excited that you’re excited…
I'm just barely getting into the mantle of the planet of Speedrunning. Amazing and informative video I couldn't stop watching so great job buddy. And I subbed sir
Good on Jeremy. Can imagine how stressful doing that show was for an introvert. You can tell it's killing him.
what a story, very daunting task to beat a time like that
I would love to see a Ratchet and clank speedrunning video again sometime :)
Has someone ever tried to do some of that proxy jumps to get for example into the balloon early? If it works for the portals, why shouldn't it work for them too?
That ape escape track triggered the most intense nostalgia
This is fantastic, my two favourite videos on your channel are the Touval broke spyro in half & the Dayoman Spyro quest videos, so a 3rd video on spyro is my Xmas present, please do more spyro videos if you somehow find more video ideas for them
After watching this video, I feel the urge to derust 3any on my own, haha. Jeremy was my inspiration to start running Spyro 3 and has been a great mentor ever since!
I love being bald tbh, you know how much money I’m saving on no haircuts?
I never played any Spyro game and I don’t plan to play them but this vid was pretty interesting and entertaining
I love seeing people exploiting old video games with glitches
05:17 you’re lucky your video hasn’t been age restricted with an image like that….
8:14 i think we have the same music taste
What’s the song ID?
@@hamishchant5081 give me a sec
home - head first, i thought i had the song in my mp3
imagine spending 10 thousand hours on something else, something like a skill you could use in life.
