Thank you all for the support over the years! Side note, sorry for the weird artifacting issue with the loading trigger footage. Not sure what happened there.
I think flawed gem would be more accurate. It's aged quite well and is generally a pretty fun game for the Spyro series. Easily the best PS2 Spyro game in the original continuity. Though... it wasn't hard to be the best one since the only other PS2 Spyro game was Enter the Dragonfly, but still a really good game for what it is.
@@v.3778 I have played and loved that game, but it's not part of the original continuity. I literally said "Easily the best PS2 Spyro game in the original continuity." This does not include the Legend of Spyro trilogy because that's a complete reboot.
I think I have 2 more weird facts about the game, the first is that it seems that ball gadget uses the spyro beta model, in the same way that it is used in spyro aht demo, and that ember and flame pick the colors of spyro in supercharge.
Your videos breaking this game in detail are so fun and i don't know why. As a kid i always tried to go out of bounds in ps2 games and wondered about the world hidden out of bounds. I particularly did this a lot in Treasure Planet PS2. Say, you once mentioned something about Sphinx the Cursed Mummy. Is there another YT channel that breaks that game like you break AHT? I played that game last year and it was lovely.
I can't point to any RUclips channels, but there's a lovely community on Discord surrounding this game. I've hung out there quite a bit, check it out if you wish: discord.gg/sphinx
Great video! I think it's cool that you did a lot of digging into the game's code and such for facts, that's not something you'll see a lot of people on this site do. It's fascinating how many weird things are in this game
Spyro glitched pre-bomb spit looks absolutely hilarious! I could have sworn I’ve seen the weird pink flashing at some point when I was younger! I noticed the idle animation and it’s just so adorable and noticed the stats thing pop up as a kid! I love the swimming in air glitch, but it was really hard for me to achieve, but when I do, it’s so satisfying.
Did you know that it’s possible to see Ember despawn as you make your way towards Crocoville Swamp? It’s simple, just keep your camera focused on her as you cross the bridge and once you get to a certain point (I believe it’s right at the Light Gem chest) she will despawn in front of you. Keep up the good work and congrats on 1,000 subs!!!
Who even bothers programming this kind of stuff like that egg save... truly, this game was the peak of Spyro (Outside of the turret and Blink sections)
7:40 Is it possible that this blunder is also present in Crocovile Swamp? I'm pretty sure I had this happen near the beginning of the level, right after the first Dark Gem while running downstairs.
Loading triggers are only used to load/unload entire maps at once, the individual zones of a map are loaded based on where the camera is. It's likely your disc simply failed to load that zone in time.
I have a question, in my version of the game, my electric breath doesn't defeat the crabs in Costal Remains and Aquatic Ruins, but I've seen others do it. Why is that? Am I doing something wrong?
This is actually something they changed between retail versions of the game. You're either playing the Xbox NTSC or PS2 NTSC version of this game. You can instead defeat them by charging into them and then horn diving them.

The breath trick might have speedrunning implications
A Hero's Tail is such an underrated gem, games on PS2 rarely looks or works as good as this one

Guess that answers the question; what comes first, the thief or the egg??
For once the algorithm blessed me with something worthwhile! Congrats on the 1K Subs!
The gem overflow going negative is also what happened in Ratchet and Clank 2 on PS2 (but with bolts there). I think that was also around 2 billion.
They're most certainly also using a signed integer to store that number then. It's pretty standard for a lot of things.
I love learning new things about my favorite games.
Really interesting vid! Congrats on the 1k!
I love this channel man, congrats on 1k!

@@EbbeAHT DAMN IT so that's why it only works on gamecube version
@@TheOnlyPlayerYTIt's specific to NTSC Xbox and PS2. If you play on PAL you can always use electric/ice breath on them.
Pretty neat!
