The animation i missed was in s2. The Professor used to stand around going "nooo..." and pencilling on his clipboard then suddenly hed go "AHA!!!!" and jump. It was adorable.
Aww that animation was awesome! I used to stand there and just watch him do that over and over, can't understand why TFB would take out such an iconic character animation. :(
Tree Tops is my fave level, i like myself a challenge and it offered so much to explore and different ways to reach your goal. In OG Spyro i tried to land via super charge on different, maybe not suppose to be places and it was hella fun. I know many people had problems with it, and i agree, had my fair share of tries, fails and deaths but the other realms were sometimes to easy for me.
@@ToridoriGaming Yeah, they outdone it the difficulty there clearly, but finishing it made it even more statisfying. Sure, it was meant to be a childrens game, in which tree tops not really has a place i think XD, but it should still be challenging. Haunted Towers is a good example for difficulty and being great to explore. (i hated the knights SO MUCH)
They should have made tree tops an end game level. Progressively harder levels is what it was doing but went backwards as beast masters is before the magic realm I believe
Dark Hollow has to be one of my favorite realm concepts. I mean, a library nestled in amongst a torch and candle lit wood at night? Talk about my personal paradise!!
Yeah were we meant to understand it was a library in the original? I don't remember the books at all! So it was one of my favorite reignitions, if you will.
I think the issue with super charge is that in you build speed and momentum in Reignited, so you have to start at the top. In the original you instantly had the right speed no matter where you started.
@@ToridoriGamingI hate to sound like a nerd but this very false BUT i think the first speed is faster then remake. If u play the PS1 u can see the smoke color changing which indicates the speed But yea it feels slower in remake i definitely noticed that
33:36 He's actually meant to be a reference to the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, with the slug-like tail meant to represent a caterpillar body while the bottle is a hookah.
Can confirm that in High Caves in the original Spyro you could in fact glide from the bridge to the caves off to the side. At least to the first one. And from the first one to the second one. That’s how I always did it. Never occurred to me to use the supercharge for that. ^^;
11:34 I don't actually want to sound like a jerk, but I never even thought to try using the supercharge to reach those caves. I've always flown from the bridge to the left cave and then from the left cave to the right cave. Also, I was not really conscious of the Ice Cavern skybox in the original either. I only once remember looking at it and thinking that maybe they intentionally made it vague enough to be either a sky or the cavern ceiling.
You don't sound like a jerk, don't worry! I think it's because I originally did it that way as a kid and it worked first time, so it's been cemented in my brain as the way you're supposed to do it. :)
That "Shoot your goo, my dude!" reference made me spit out my water. Thanks. Now I gotta clean my computer monitor lol. In other words, this was a great list! I just picked up the Reignited Trilogy on my Xbox One and was finally able to experience the original Spyro trilogy for the first time. I can definitely agree with most on here. I'd put Tree Tops a little higher tho in my own list as I didn't have too much of an issue with the realm. It was still a bitch and a half for that last dragon though, my lord. And funny enough, I really ended up despising Misty Bog. It was those fast as hell frogs and the fact I could not for the life of me figure out the correct paths for certain platforming bits. Specifically the ones closer to the middle of the realm where all that swamp that Spyro can't swim in is. Dream Weavers and Dark Passage ended up being my favorite realms in the game. I absolutely loved the music for Dream Weavers and those wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men jokers (or whatever they're called) got so many chuckles out of me. And then Dark Passage was just an absolute blast for me to explore. From the growing and shrinking enemies in it, to the more linear with a few branching paths level-design it was so much fun to go through personally. Sorry for the long-ass comment, but I genuinely loved this game and had to talk about it. I'm playing Ripto's Rage right now and I'm hoping that it's just as good if not better.
So many of the level's colors in Reignited look washed out compared to the original. Beast Makers in general and Gnorc Cove are notable exceptions that did the opposite. Lofty Castle especially suffered from the washed out look, I think. The old skybox with the contrast of the deep purple near the bottom was just *chef's kiss*
The biggest problem i have with the first game is that i played the 2nd game the most and forgot you can’t hover in the first one which killed me so many times :p Nice video and recover well also
Pretty sure you can sill hover in the first one as well, reignited uses the physics of the third game I believe across all games. Simular to the Crash trilogy in that the jumping physics from the third game were used in the firs and second game
Tori I timed the amount of time it takes to say “TFB” and “Toys For Bob” and I found that it’s actually quicker to say Toys For Bob than TFB by a few milliseconds. Even if we were going to be generous, and allow + or - a few milliseconds to account for human error, they would take roughly the same amount of time to say. Under no circumstance in my testing did I find it to be the quicker variant. I just don’t see your justification for abbreviating it in spoken word. Feedback appreciated. Yes I know this is a sad waste of time, but I have a lot of time on my hands currently.
This comment is brilliant, thank you! 😂 But in all seriousness, the reason I say TFB is because it's easier to say in a long complicated sentence than 'Toys for Bob'. I slur my words sometimes if I read something long winded or difficult to pronounce, so any way to make it simpler for me is good in my book. :)
The jumping and gliding in Spyro 1 is so annoying now, definitely takes some getting used to. Alpine ridge was one of the worst bits because of that where those 3 islands are at the end. Like the rest of the level though
It's funny that people find Treetops harder in reignited. I've never made the final jump to the last dragon in Treetops in OG Spyro. But I made it on my first try in Reignited. No joke.
@@ToridoriGaming Also, that jump you couldn't make later on in Wizard Peak, I made that first try in reignited but never made it in OG Spyro. Probably due to the fact that I gave up when I was 10. XD
It's harder when you know how it was since that's what you come in expecting, so it's not impressive for those who never played the easier OG spyro to do well since they have no expectations.
You know, I understand Reignited seems easier, and I thought it was just from me being older and nostalgia at play but man, going back on OG Spyro, they did a lot of mechanical tweaking that, even though I find refreshing and fitting for a remake....idk I can't put my finger on it. For some reason, flying segments are ungodly impossible for me as opposed to the original....still love the game though and planning on 100% it soon.
It’s momentum based for the most part, ocean speedway you just have to find the sequence. I have completed it, i too found it very hard, especially getting all the boats in a row... I would tell you the sequence but I don’t want to spoil it
Congrats on your successful surgery Tori, glad you are recovering and getting better. Don't worry about being late on videos, just focus on getting well. We care about your health as well💜💉🏥
26:52-28:23 28:23-29:57 Two realms which I love, I've also got things that I like about your editing skills, too: 1:24-1:27 Such a nice sweeping shot of Ice Cavern, one of my favorite realms 1:31-1:35 Nikolai Tesla would like these Gnorcs working for him 4:34-4:38 How rude of you to talk about Mr. Purple like that 5:56-5:59 What if Spyro farted out knowledge? What then? 6:24-6:27 Friendly Fire! 7:03-7:07 I wonder if there is a good 3D model of that battleship 12:12-12:25 So he's a Nerd Cabbage, then? 17:02-17:07 Can we get a separate video of that, please 25:45-26:03 Nikolai Tesla would like these Gnorcs working for him 39:55-39:40:02 BUTT! I'd like to single these two moments out: 26:03-26:18 Fat dragons are *the best* unless there is a mod to make those fat dragons even fatter 36:28-36:38 But, Tori, bellyflops aren't scary, this ferret loves getting bellyflopped by a certain black-furred fox and a certain dragon
- In the OG Spyro you were able to reach those areas in High Caves without using the supercharge. - Wow. You managed NOT to see the Gameplay of Dark Passage that was released way before the actual release day?! Wish I also would NOT have seen this before the release to get even more blown away! - Great List - not quite my opinion but awesome listing. - Didn't know you went through a surgery. Hope everything's alright!!!
In Haunted Towers, I managed to defeat an enemy very close to one of the fairies and she cheered me on with a fist pump. That one tiny animation alone was enough to place the world among my favorites. It's truly amazing how much detail and effort Toys for Bob put into these games.
These colour palettes are the same as the skylanders but I don’t think anyone realised. I just know because I’ve played skylanders with my siblings also made by toys for bob. Also the dark hollows I did like but sort of hated due to Blinx the timesweeper levels usually being like that and that game was pretty terrible.
The reignited version of Twilight Harbor is 100% the worst since they replaced their guns with pink goo blasters instead of something like flamethrowers or lava guns. The pink goo looks so out of place and completely clashes with the more intimidating atmosphere of Gnorc Cove, and everything that made the original feel like a final level where things get real as well as the whole technology vs magic theme is gone now. What's left is a silly level that doesn't even fit with it's own homeworld.
If I'm being honest, I thought Spyro 1 was a more enjoyable game in the Reignited Trilogy than Spyro 3. The improvements made to Spyro 1 were absolutely incredible it made me really excited to visit every world! Granted, I still think Spyro 3 is the most aesthetically pleasing game of the group but the satisfaction I got playing through Spyro 1 put it up right above the 3rd game.
Didn’t like those dragon babies at all most were the same animations and ugly character models, in the artwork in the guidebook, of the dragon babies they look way better and should have used that. Didn’t like agent 9 thought he was mediocre, his jumping and movement felt awkward and shooting also felt awkward. I like that he had different camera angles in some mini games but in all he was a it lacking. Skateboarding levels were a bit broken with wall clipping issues and especially super bonus round where you oils completely clip one wall saving you about 3 seconds... characters really weren’t memorable in Spyro three, and I thought they were done worse than Spyro a hero’s tail. Namely Hunters voice and model. Bosses seemed way too easy, compared to the second game and would have liked a challenge but some levels made up for it like firework factory even though the boss was a pain.
Lofty Castle is dragon rehab It has mudada who is just mudada Baruti sounds high Useni owns the lace Kosoko isn't there because nobody knows that he does drugs
It surprised me that her most disliked realm was Tree Tops. Seems like she doesn't like challenges.(If you can call that a challenge.I have played and completed Tree Tops 4 times and haven't died once in the ramps.Idk if it's because it's hard for her and everyone or if it's that I'm too good at Spyro.)
I honestly didn’t like some of these levels designs or obstacles because the camera was sometimes uncontrollable when either active or passive, and would always focus on *T H E M S C A L Y B U N S* of Spyro. Especially on the supercharge tracks.
@@ToridoriGaming Wait, really? I have the PAL version, and "The Amanda Show theme" is the track on my disc at least! Also, I have to disagree with your analysis of Wizard Peak. Personally, I adore the reignited version - it looks beautiful
@@ToridoriGaming yeah I have the pal version too since I'm in the UK so there are differences in the original to the rest of the world which span me out when I found out xD
I like Wizard Peak too, one of the reasons being is that its sthe only level in the game which has an egg theif you don't have to bother chasing after, it's also a pretty fun level to play overall as well.
@@ToridoriGaming I'm good last week I had a nasty raging as the doctor describe a raging UTI and I had to be on antibiotics for it but much better and doing good
Yay! Another list! Glad to hear you're getting better! My rundown: 17. I totally agree with you here. To me, those jumps seem to be harder to get to here than in the original. Music was much better though. 16. This level was mostly meh in my opinion. It was pretty easy to get through and it wasn't anything much different from the original. 15. Ew... this stage... It seemed harder than the original. That's about it. 14. This level surprisingly bored me... and the superflame ability doesn't last as long as it did in the original... NERD XD 13. I figured you'd put this low because of what you said about it before. I personally dislike the new rock organ used in the song and the level is a bit harder to complete. Those ice yetis also attack WAY faster. 12. I agree there wasn't much to this level. Then again it is the first level of the game. 11. Those stupid paint guns seemed to be inspired by Splatoon... Gosh, do I hate Splatoon... 10. I couldn't charge the bulls in this level for some reason... Every time I tried, I'd bounce off of the bull before it attacked me. 9. Once again, I felt this was harder than the original. It was still okay though. 8. I hated this level. This level took me the longest to beat from what I can remember. It was a pain... 7. The only thing I didn't like about this one was the death animation for the bigger enemies. 6. This was definitely an improvement from the original, from music to enemy animations to dragons. It's still incredibly easy though. 5. This level had an incredible design in my opinion. The skybox and level design were beautifully recreated as well as that awesome soundtrack! 4. I hated the hidden dragon... the knights come to life faster, and if you reached the entrance before every knight rose on the stairs, the knight in the entrance would rise and block you off. 3. I absolutely loved this level. The dogs and turtles were so cute! Although, the music wasn't as good as that electric piano during the chorus was quieted down more compared to the original if you know what I'm talking about. 2. This level was fun, but to me, it wasn't anything special. 1. Loved this level. Easier than the original, level design and animations were better, and the music sounds amazing! I'm honestly a bit surprised this was your number 1 choice. I totally loved watching this video! Hope you can make one similar for Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage Reignited!
I have never done tree tops the way you showed in the old one. I have always done it the way that you have to in the remake... I never needed the super charge to reach those right areas in the high caves. but I do agree with you that they messed up those two dragons. the one who says smash bugs with super charge I always saw him as this really big dragons and now to small to me. and ya the other one not being enthusiastic about the jumping and gliding is sad.
Why does this have such few views?? It’s an amazing video and I can tell you worked very hard on it! I hope you feel better post surgery and keep up the great work on your videos!
@@ToridoriGaming YAY! A reply!! I really hope you do a Q&A video sometime. I love your personality and I'd love to get to know more about you without annoying you on stream.
Love that you went with Misty Bog. Looking at the updated environment with all its lighting and detail and mist had my jaw on my floor. Stared at a lot of these updated realms for a looooong time. Cheers for the great video Tori!
I had a flub or two in Tree Tops but nothing to the degree that you did. I think it's the charge that's been tweaked overall, turning seems a bit less forgiving.
A nightmare... you look forward to? But if it's a nightmare isn't it supposed to full of things you fear? Like, a dream full of bloody, macabre imagery and horrific monsters from beyond the veil of human imagination... does that qualify as a dream or a nightmare based on it's content, or how it makes you feel? Toridori, indirectly asking the real philosophical questions.
That's an interesting question. In a personal way i kind of had that with Brütal Legend, specifically the Guillotar which looks like a monstrous sloth corpse with guillotines for legs. I have a great fear of guillotines, but as soon as i learned that you could ride almost any animal in that game (spare of course for the metal hedgehog things) i wanted to ride them. And best thing is, riding them kind of helped me get over my fear of guillotines. Kind of. It was awesome riding around on them.
I was hell bent on 100% -ing Spyro 1 until I got to tree tops, lost a shittonne of lives and sacked the whole game off for a month, talk about a difficulty spike!
Great list you have a really good top 5. Lofty Castle was my favourite in OG Spyro 1 but idk I feel like in Reignited it's not as good in terms of colour and skybox. My number 1 now would probably be Ice Cavern or Haunted Towers.
I eventually realized that with the speedramp jumps, instead of pressing X at the end of the ramp, you have to keep holding down square until you are close enough and still high enough to start gliding. it's off putting, but easier once you register the change
Yeah I could tell halfway through my second play through I was starting to get the hang of it, still I feel sorry for kids trying to pull off those ramp jumps!
One thing I really hated was how awful all the super charging felt in this game... my god and don't you dare use the analogue stick 'cause it feels almost impossible to make a sharp turn, I had to use the D-Pad when charging and supercharging around corners, I feel your pain girl!
First time I played through Reignited on PS4 I struggled quite a bit in Tree Tops with the jumps, however when I played it again on Xbox One i didn't really struggle with it... I guess learning it all from previous run helped me quite a lot (especially with Gulp in Ripto's Rage).
I think if Toys for Bob could've found the source code for the three games it would've been alot better. :3 Since Crash Bandicoot Insane Trilogy had the Source Code and even the upcoming Medievil has it too. Spyro will never be the same without it. :3
I don’t even know if I played the first game when little or only watched ; as only some of it was vaguely familiar. (And I did have clear empty levels and crystal dragon memories ) But the animated armor well.... I was alarmed. 😱 uwu I’ve noticed something though, like how people say when Bull riding you need to roll with it instead of fighting it. That seems to translate to the difficult jumps in this. Don’t help the game. Hahahaha
I’ll have to agree on no. 1 I didn’t really care for the level in the original, but I had a really good time with it in reignited. Great video once again! Didn’t even feel like it’s 40 minutes 👍
Just a minor note regarding tree tops. The second supercharge route that you pull off was the proper way to do it in the original as well, but your route was cool to find! I guess TFB used the original route only Also high caves, you could reach the caves without supercharge. If anything I never thought of using supercharge to reach those caves
The reason Reignited's platforming was so rough for you is because it takes after 2 and 3's physics more and you need to charge into a jump then glide in order to get the most distance.
I finally decided to place the Dream Wavers world “Haunted Towers” as my most favourite level in Spyro 1 Reignited. Many things I love about this level such as the cute looking fairies 🧚♂️ that give Spyro a magic kiss, the colourful memorable dragons and the addition of the eerie green 🟢 glow that pulsates off the metal knights. So yeah It’s definitely worthy being at No.1 of the all 17 levels 😊
I was going through the Tree Tops struggle just yesterday. I don't know if it's an issue with my PS4 but it seems like occasionally turn inputs get dropped while charging, which made that level even more extra fun. I totally forgot about the mini map that was added in Reignighted, which might have made my life just a little easier. Gonna try and clean it up today :D
@@ToridoriGaming Lies, I have literally never ever been mad at you for playing badly. Now behave yourself Tori and stop spreading such slanderous falsehoods about me.
so I know there's a lot more to your review than this obviously, but I noticed how you repeatedly had problems with supercharge and sometimes gliding. I think I get what you mean, and I had the same problem too but once I figured it out I had no more issues with the mechanics whatsoever (well, except for the camera movement, but I think that's just me since I was so used to controlling the camera a certain way in the original game which just doesn't exist in reignited, so I had to have the camera on active all the time, otherwise it was impossible for me to play). basically, I think it's a muscle memory problem. because we still remember how the old gameplay feels, we expect that the same will work for the reignited trilogy, which it doesn't really. I realized that gliding and using supercharge FEELS quite different from the original, but once I got it down and basically unlearned what my fingers knew from the original, I was totally fine with it. took me some time though lol, but by the time I got to tree tops I had already relearned how to use supercharge, but my GOD was learning annoying, especially in high caves. so yeah, I don't think I've seen newcomers have this kind of problem, it's just us old heads unfortunately :') might be wrong here of course, but I think you just need to figure out the trick to it. like with gliding I think you need to allow spyro to hover for a bit longer before the glide (which is why to me gliding feels a bit slower than before) and for supercharge, you need to allow spyro to hold the charge for a bit longer before letting him glide (basically, the supercharge feels a bit slower and less powerful than the original). Idk, that's what helped ME, maybe it could help whoever's reading this as well :P I don't know why they couldn't just replicate the exact feel of the original mechanics, but eh.... it's not that difficult to learn, it's just super annoying when you're expecting something else.....
My list goes like this: 1. Misty Bog 2. Ice Cavern 3. Tree Tops 4. High Caves 5. Wizard Peak 6. Dark Passage 7. Lofty Castle 8. Dry Canyon 9. Gnorc Cove 10. Town Square 11. Twilight Harbour 12. Alpine Ridge 13. Cliff Town 14. Dark Hollow 15. Terrace Village 16. Haunted Towers 17. Stone Hill I still love all of them but that's it
Toriiiiiii! I'm glad you are feeling better after the surgery. Making a major comeback with a long video too. Also, don't feel bad for taking time out. There is no shame in taking time out for yourself. Anyway, welcome back! Good quality videos as always.
- Tree Tops: Oddly I didn't have too many issues with this level, at most it's just the weird layout that makes the order of doing things hard to decide. TFB did make the jump mechanics more difficult though, you really need to wait as late as possible to begin a glide. Also wow, you always used that completely different route? I would've found that impossible even on the original. XD - Dry Canyon: No mention of that super weird vulture glitch people seem to keep getting? :P - High Caves: LMAO at candle fetish. XD - Twilight Harbour: OMG the enemies get so annoying here, I ALWAYS get hit by them. Don't underestimate the goo guns! :P Also if you try to get PSN trophies, finding all six gears is a NIGHTMARE. - Cliff Town: I'm pretty sure there's a baby dragon in Spyro 3 called Marco too. :P Someone REALLY likes their Marcos at Insomniac.
That's the funny thing, I always thought that WAS the route you needed to take in Tree Tops. It's so odd that we all play these games differently. :D What vulture glitch is that?
@@ToridoriGaming Do you remember when you did the stream how when the vulture just flew up to you out of nowhere (right before the big glide to the locked chest)? LOTS of people have gotten that glitch, myself included.
Trying to avoid Spyro Reignited content is the most challenging thing I've done this year. I'm giving myself a pass for Spyro 1, though, seeing how this was the game that was showcased the most before release.
@@ToridoriGaming True, True. Thanks for the amazing video btw! I wish I could support you more! Money isn't the greatest thing here, so All I can do is click on the ads. good luck!
Being honest, I didn't notice a huge problem with the gliding. Even when I didn't clear a jump, it always felt like my fault, like I didn't scooch far enough to the edge or didn't jump at the right time. Then again, it's been a long time since I played the original.
This is my first time playing the original Spyro games. I never had a PlayStation growing up, but I did like Spyro himself because he was a dragon and I've always loved dragons. In fact, I had a stuffed Spyro and a Spyro bobblehead growing up. I was lucky enough to play Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon on my Wii in my late teens. Now, at 28, I'm finally able to experience this wonderful trilogy! I'm on the final battle with Gnasty Gnorc right now, but after watching your video, I'm cracking up because I completely MISSED Icy Cavern!! I have to go figure out where it is. I thought I was missing some dragons and now I know where they are! It's good to know the wonky game mechanic is not just me and is affecting veteran players. I find the camera to be frustrating at times as well as the gliding and jumping. I really enjoyed your list and found it funny that some of my favorite realms were towards the bottom of your's. I really enjoyed Gnorc Cove because I loved hitting the metal barrels at the Gnorcs. I was tickled to just headbutt the barrels over and over again and there were some really satisfying Gnorc kills in that level, like the 4 TNT in a row on the stairs. Magic Crafters reminds me a lot of Norway. In fact, when I first entered the homeworld, I thought the orange-bearded trolls were friendly citizens or something and approached one thinking it would be a NPC to talk to. Oh, no, he promptly attacked me! And I never want to experience Haunted Towers again! I love the fairy kisses, but trying to not only do that crazy jump but also get up those stairs was enough to make me walk away for a bit lol. Glad you're getting better every day!
I looove the Pink Floyd reference. Although ironically Brain Damage is the only song that even mentions the dark side of the moon on the album called DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. idk if that’s true bc I really only listen to Brain Damage, Time and Money. But regardless I love when someone combines two things from my childhood(even tho I’m still considered a child)
one animation I miss and im sure is noticed in other realms i just never took notice aside from this one is in the second game in the snow realm the fodder there were little walking snowballs. in the original game when you hit them in any way they would melt. which would make sense when flamed (not so much charged though) but now they just POOF! and it upsets me greatly... idk why im so upset. i think its just one of those things. and like Ben Hack mentioned that I didn't noticed but thinking back i DO realize that 'noise' was missing XD I remember always hearing him if you were close by going "AHA" and yeah i didn't :O one other thing I noticed the jumps were off too and realized (I'm sure you have by now) since they used the same basic mechanics for spyro through all three games in reignited you can now charge to do a jump in the first game which made metal head and those damn gems at the end much easier to get but in the original if you charged to do a jump you would go straight down and the charge wouldn't give you any distance. I think because of this however they nerfed the jumping in an odd way because in the second and third game you can use triangle to hover and get that extra umf. so the first game suffered a bit. not impossible but harder I suppose. The game is very much not something for new people to jump right into and made more for old fans cause the design choices does NOT make it clear what can be charged or flamed and it can be frustrating for someone who never played it before. but it was nice to play with my nephew how at like age 2 I played the first one but now that he is 10 we played the new one and he was so entranced by the colors and enemies. this coming from a kid who loves playing violent games with high res I was glad to see him be more kid like and enjoy a game geared towards his age group ;A;
The animation i missed was in s2. The Professor used to stand around going "nooo..." and pencilling on his clipboard then suddenly hed go "AHA!!!!" and jump. It was adorable.
Aww that animation was awesome! I used to stand there and just watch him do that over and over, can't understand why TFB would take out such an iconic character animation. :(
@@ToridoriGaming I miss that animation as well, and I really don't like how they permanently closed his eyes! I loved his goofy eyes in the originals.
I loved that animation. Something I miss in Spyro 2 is when you 100% a level it would play a flue sound. Oh well I can still mimic the sound.
That Idle animation was in Spyro 3.
@@ToridoriGaming Ah, the professor, I can't wait to regale you with my version of him :D =^^= *grins*
I love Lofty Castle because the music is just so majestic it makes me cry!!!!!!!
Tree Tops is my fave level, i like myself a challenge and it offered so much to explore and different ways to reach your goal. In OG Spyro i tried to land via super charge on different, maybe not suppose to be places and it was hella fun.
I know many people had problems with it, and i agree, had my fair share of tries, fails and deaths but the other realms were sometimes to easy for me.
I'll agree on that, some of the realms - even much later ones - were way too easy. But Tree Tops pushed my patience to its limits.. xD
@@ToridoriGaming Yeah, they outdone it the difficulty there clearly, but finishing it made it even more statisfying.
Sure, it was meant to be a childrens game, in which tree tops not really has a place i think XD, but it should still be challenging. Haunted Towers is a good example for difficulty and being great to explore. (i hated the knights SO MUCH)
They should have made tree tops an end game level. Progressively harder levels is what it was doing but went backwards as beast masters is before the magic realm I believe
Yay!!! Misty bog is my favorite too! And it looks so great
It is awesome! :D
Treetops #1 no matter whether it's original or reignited.
I want an American McGee’s Alice remake!! 😩🙏
Dark Hollow has to be one of my favorite realm concepts.
I mean, a library nestled in amongst a torch and candle lit wood at night?
Talk about my personal paradise!!
Think of the fire hazards though! For real though, it is gorgeous to look at. 😀
Yeah were we meant to understand it was a library in the original? I don't remember the books at all! So it was one of my favorite reignitions, if you will.
@@laurenajkirby indeed it was completely reimagined, previously not a library.
While playing the original game as a child I just thought it was a kitchen.
My only issue is that it's too small!
I think the issue with super charge is that in you build speed and momentum in Reignited, so you have to start at the top. In the original you instantly had the right speed no matter where you started.
Yeah that sounds about right, it's bloody annoying though. :/
@@ToridoriGamingI hate to sound like a nerd but this very false BUT i think the first speed is faster then remake. If u play the PS1 u can see the smoke color changing which indicates the speed
But yea it feels slower in remake i definitely noticed that
Oh boy, time for a 40-minute treat!

Bring me some too!
33:36 He's actually meant to be a reference to the caterpillar from Alice in Wonderland, with the slug-like tail meant to represent a caterpillar body while the bottle is a hookah.
Can confirm that in High Caves in the original Spyro you could in fact glide from the bridge to the caves off to the side. At least to the first one. And from the first one to the second one. That’s how I always did it. Never occurred to me to use the supercharge for that. ^^;
Oh man, I made the game a lot harder for myself as a kid.. xD
Same that's how I always do it too ^^
I love the way that the fodder interacts with Spyro. Especially those lizards in Cliff Town.
And the bouncing chickens!
11:34 I don't actually want to sound like a jerk, but I never even thought to try using the supercharge to reach those caves. I've always flown from the bridge to the left cave and then from the left cave to the right cave.
Also, I was not really conscious of the Ice Cavern skybox in the original either. I only once remember looking at it and thinking that maybe they intentionally made it vague enough to be either a sky or the cavern ceiling.
You don't sound like a jerk, don't worry! I think it's because I originally did it that way as a kid and it worked first time, so it's been cemented in my brain as the way you're supposed to do it. :)
Agree with tori
That "Shoot your goo, my dude!" reference made me spit out my water. Thanks. Now I gotta clean my computer monitor lol.
In other words, this was a great list! I just picked up the Reignited Trilogy on my Xbox One and was finally able to experience the original Spyro trilogy for the first time. I can definitely agree with most on here. I'd put Tree Tops a little higher tho in my own list as I didn't have too much of an issue with the realm. It was still a bitch and a half for that last dragon though, my lord. And funny enough, I really ended up despising Misty Bog. It was those fast as hell frogs and the fact I could not for the life of me figure out the correct paths for certain platforming bits. Specifically the ones closer to the middle of the realm where all that swamp that Spyro can't swim in is.
Dream Weavers and Dark Passage ended up being my favorite realms in the game. I absolutely loved the music for Dream Weavers and those wacky waving inflatable arm flailing tube men jokers (or whatever they're called) got so many chuckles out of me. And then Dark Passage was just an absolute blast for me to explore. From the growing and shrinking enemies in it, to the more linear with a few branching paths level-design it was so much fun to go through personally.
Sorry for the long-ass comment, but I genuinely loved this game and had to talk about it. I'm playing Ripto's Rage right now and I'm hoping that it's just as good if not better.
Literally any dream weavers realm is my favorite
So many of the level's colors in Reignited look washed out compared to the original. Beast Makers in general and Gnorc Cove are notable exceptions that did the opposite. Lofty Castle especially suffered from the washed out look, I think. The old skybox with the contrast of the deep purple near the bottom was just *chef's kiss*
The old skyboxes were fantastic 😎
The biggest problem i have with the first game is that i played the 2nd game the most and forgot you can’t hover in the first one which killed me so many times :p
Nice video and recover well also
Oh lord, I can imagine you plummeting to your death multiple times... xD
Toridori yeah but it’s no prob if you have enough patience :p
Pretty sure you can sill hover in the first one as well, reignited uses the physics of the third game I believe across all games. Simular to the Crash trilogy in that the jumping physics from the third game were used in the firs and second game
Oh yes I always died because I forgot about the fact that I couldn't hover in Spyro 1
Dark Souls: *Y O U D I E D*
@@cdst1997 you literally cannot hover in the first game
she back from the bob work
Got the best bobs this side of town!
@@ToridoriGaming dam right :3
Tori I timed the amount of time it takes to say “TFB” and “Toys For Bob” and I found that it’s actually quicker to say Toys For Bob than TFB by a few milliseconds. Even if we were going to be generous, and allow + or - a few milliseconds to account for human error, they would take roughly the same amount of time to say. Under no circumstance in my testing did I find it to be the quicker variant. I just don’t see your justification for abbreviating it in spoken word. Feedback appreciated.
Yes I know this is a sad waste of time, but I have a lot of time on my hands currently.
This comment is brilliant, thank you! 😂
But in all seriousness, the reason I say TFB is because it's easier to say in a long complicated sentence than 'Toys for Bob'. I slur my words sometimes if I read something long winded or difficult to pronounce, so any way to make it simpler for me is good in my book. :)
The jumping and gliding in Spyro 1 is so annoying now, definitely takes some getting used to. Alpine ridge was one of the worst bits because of that where those 3 islands are at the end. Like the rest of the level though
Those three islands had my butt clenched for the entire glide, oh man!
It's funny that people find Treetops harder in reignited. I've never made the final jump to the last dragon in Treetops in OG Spyro. But I made it on my first try in Reignited. No joke.
Yeah, on my second play through I had no issues with it so I don't know what's up with that!
@@ToridoriGaming Also, that jump you couldn't make later on in Wizard Peak, I made that first try in reignited but never made it in OG Spyro. Probably due to the fact that I gave up when I was 10. XD
Some jumps are harder in reignited. But tree tops is hard anyways.
It's harder when you know how it was since that's what you come in expecting, so it's not impressive for those who never played the easier OG spyro to do well since they have no expectations.
You like to say realms A LOT, huh...
Glad to see you’re recovering!
Quick question: Is there any correlation between your favorite realms and your favorite music tracks?
In Spyro 1 not so much, I kinda like all the songs. :D
You know, I understand Reignited seems easier, and I thought it was just from me being older and nostalgia at play but man, going back on OG Spyro, they did a lot of mechanical tweaking that, even though I find refreshing and fitting for a remake....idk I can't put my finger on it. For some reason, flying segments are ungodly impossible for me as opposed to the original....still love the game though and planning on 100% it soon.
I agree about the flying sections, they're very unforgiving this time around! It's a shame because that would be my only major gripe about Reignited.
Ocean Speedway can kiss my butt.
It’s momentum based for the most part, ocean speedway you just have to find the sequence. I have completed it, i too found it very hard, especially getting all the boats in a row... I would tell you the sequence but I don’t want to spoil it
Congrats on your successful surgery Tori, glad you are recovering and getting better. Don't worry about being late on videos, just focus on getting well. We care about your health as well💜💉🏥
Hey The Lizard King, thank you! I never stop - already planning another video. :D
26:52-28:23
28:23-29:57
Two realms which I love, I've also got things that I like about your editing skills, too:
1:24-1:27 Such a nice sweeping shot of Ice Cavern, one of my favorite realms
1:31-1:35 Nikolai Tesla would like these Gnorcs working for him
4:34-4:38 How rude of you to talk about Mr. Purple like that
5:56-5:59 What if Spyro farted out knowledge? What then?
6:24-6:27 Friendly Fire!
7:03-7:07 I wonder if there is a good 3D model of that battleship
12:12-12:25 So he's a Nerd Cabbage, then?
17:02-17:07 Can we get a separate video of that, please
25:45-26:03 Nikolai Tesla would like these Gnorcs working for him
39:55-39:40:02 BUTT!
I'd like to single these two moments out:
26:03-26:18 Fat dragons are *the best* unless there is a mod to make those fat dragons even fatter
36:28-36:38 But, Tori, bellyflops aren't scary, this ferret loves getting bellyflopped by a certain black-furred fox and a certain dragon
Thank you so much dude!
Will you be doing this for Spyro 2 and 3 as well?
- In the OG Spyro you were able to reach those areas in High Caves without using the supercharge.
- Wow. You managed NOT to see the Gameplay of Dark Passage that was released way before the actual release day?! Wish I also would NOT have seen this before the release to get even more blown away!
- Great List - not quite my opinion but awesome listing.
- Didn't know you went through a surgery. Hope everything's alright!!!
In Haunted Towers, I managed to defeat an enemy very close to one of the fairies and she cheered me on with a fist pump. That one tiny animation alone was enough to place the world among my favorites. It's truly amazing how much detail and effort Toys for Bob put into these games.
Aww I never noticed that animation, that's awesome!
These colour palettes are the same as the skylanders but I don’t think anyone realised. I just know because I’ve played skylanders with my siblings also made by toys for bob. Also the dark hollows I did like but sort of hated due to Blinx the timesweeper levels usually being like that and that game was pretty terrible.
Hey, I want to do my own list about levels from worst to best, mind if I do, i am gonna credit your video in the description of you want
No need to credit me, I don't own Spyro. Have fun! 😊
@@ToridoriGaming aw, thanks, gonna have fun
This is my first video of yours and your one of the few female gaming youtubers who are interesting. Subbed!
Thank you thevioletskull! :)
The reignited version of Twilight Harbor is 100% the worst since they replaced their guns with pink goo blasters instead of something like flamethrowers or lava guns. The pink goo looks so out of place and completely clashes with the more intimidating atmosphere of Gnorc Cove, and everything that made the original feel like a final level where things get real as well as the whole technology vs magic theme is gone now. What's left is a silly level that doesn't even fit with it's own homeworld.
But I love the goop shooters, I think it's hilarious and think it fits better with the whole vibe of Spyro. D:
Oh, whaaaa. It's not a big deal at all. It makes even less sense for there to be automatic weapons in a dragon kingdom.
If I'm being honest, I thought Spyro 1 was a more enjoyable game in the Reignited Trilogy than Spyro 3. The improvements made to Spyro 1 were absolutely incredible it made me really excited to visit every world! Granted, I still think Spyro 3 is the most aesthetically pleasing game of the group but the satisfaction I got playing through Spyro 1 put it up right above the 3rd game.
Spyro 3 is my absolute fave but I thought Reignited Spyro 3 was a bit rushed. So many glitches and slightly dodgy graphics compared to 1 and 2. :/
Didn’t like those dragon babies at all most were the same animations and ugly character models, in the artwork in the guidebook, of the dragon babies they look way better and should have used that. Didn’t like agent 9 thought he was mediocre, his jumping and movement felt awkward and shooting also felt awkward. I like that he had different camera angles in some mini games but in all he was a it lacking. Skateboarding levels were a bit broken with wall clipping issues and especially super bonus round where you oils completely clip one wall saving you about 3 seconds... characters really weren’t memorable in Spyro three, and I thought they were done worse than Spyro a hero’s tail. Namely Hunters voice and model. Bosses seemed way too easy, compared to the second game and would have liked a challenge but some levels made up for it like firework factory even though the boss was a pain.
personally i'd put spyro 3 on the bottom of my fav list of the 3. I agree!
Lofty Castle is dragon rehab
It has mudada who is just mudada
Baruti sounds high
Useni owns the lace
Kosoko isn't there because nobody knows that he does drugs
It surprised me that her most disliked realm was Tree Tops. Seems like she doesn't like challenges.(If you can call that a challenge.I have played and completed Tree Tops 4 times and haven't died once in the ramps.Idk if it's because it's hard for her and everyone or if it's that I'm too good at Spyro.)
I honestly didn’t like some of these levels designs or obstacles because the camera was sometimes uncontrollable when either active or passive, and would always focus on *T H E M S C A L Y B U N S* of Spyro. Especially on the supercharge tracks.
I died 10 times trying to make the jump in tree tops
It's a nasty one for sure :(
I favorite in Reignited is still Wizard Peak, mainly for the Amanda Show Music.
See that throws me off because we had different music for Wizard Peak on the PAL version. So when people go, "The Amanda Show theme!" I'm so lost. xD
@@ToridoriGaming Wait, really? I have the PAL version, and "The Amanda Show theme" is the track on my disc at least!
Also, I have to disagree with your analysis of Wizard Peak. Personally, I adore the reignited version - it looks beautiful
@@ToridoriGaming yeah I have the pal version too since I'm in the UK so there are differences in the original to the rest of the world which span me out when I found out xD
I like Wizard Peak too, one of the reasons being is that its sthe only level in the game which has an egg theif you don't have to bother chasing after, it's also a pretty fun level to play overall as well.
Toridori Wizard Peak didn’t have different music in Europe. The level you were thinking of was High Caves.
Awesome Video ! Hope Your Recovered !
All good now thank you 🙂
i would disagree with alpine ridge but MAN dark caves and misty bog were absolutely amazing
Misty Bog was certainly a surprise for me!
I hope to see how you like the others. I loved a MASS majority of the dragons in this game
Actually making a video on just that, ranking the dragons. :D
Anybody notice that the swirly backdrop of lofty castle is missing? I miss it :(
Ahh not that too! The moons were bad enough.. D:
You know you can switch the music to the original right?
SO GLAD YOUR FEELING BETTER WELL WISHES STILL
Hello Dana, thank you! How are you? :)
@@ToridoriGaming I'm good last week I had a nasty raging as the doctor describe a raging UTI and I had to be on antibiotics for it but much better and doing good
Ouch! Glad to hear you're better now, UTI's are not fun. :(
Yay! Another list! Glad to hear you're getting better!
My rundown:
17. I totally agree with you here. To me, those jumps seem to be harder to get to here than in the original. Music was much better though.
16. This level was mostly meh in my opinion. It was pretty easy to get through and it wasn't anything much different from the original.
15. Ew... this stage... It seemed harder than the original. That's about it.
14. This level surprisingly bored me... and the superflame ability doesn't last as long as it did in the original... NERD XD
13. I figured you'd put this low because of what you said about it before. I personally dislike the new rock organ used in the song and the level is a bit harder to complete. Those ice yetis also attack WAY faster.
12. I agree there wasn't much to this level. Then again it is the first level of the game.
11. Those stupid paint guns seemed to be inspired by Splatoon... Gosh, do I hate Splatoon...
10. I couldn't charge the bulls in this level for some reason... Every time I tried, I'd bounce off of the bull before it attacked me.
9. Once again, I felt this was harder than the original. It was still okay though.
8. I hated this level. This level took me the longest to beat from what I can remember. It was a pain...
7. The only thing I didn't like about this one was the death animation for the bigger enemies.
6. This was definitely an improvement from the original, from music to enemy animations to dragons. It's still incredibly easy though.
5. This level had an incredible design in my opinion. The skybox and level design were beautifully recreated as well as that awesome soundtrack!
4. I hated the hidden dragon... the knights come to life faster, and if you reached the entrance before every knight rose on the stairs, the knight in the entrance would rise and block you off.
3. I absolutely loved this level. The dogs and turtles were so cute! Although, the music wasn't as good as that electric piano during the chorus was quieted down more compared to the original if you know what I'm talking about.
2. This level was fun, but to me, it wasn't anything special.
1. Loved this level. Easier than the original, level design and animations were better, and the music sounds amazing! I'm honestly a bit surprised this was your number 1 choice.
I totally loved watching this video! Hope you can make one similar for Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage Reignited!
Hey Createology, love your breakdowns on my videos, it's awesome to see your thoughts! Also nice to see we agree on most things. :D
Definitely! :D Looking forward to what you upload next!
Misty Bog music is a joke
I have never done tree tops the way you showed in the old one. I have always done it the way that you have to in the remake...
I never needed the super charge to reach those right areas in the high caves. but I do agree with you that they messed up those two dragons. the one who says smash bugs with super charge I always saw him as this really big dragons and now to small to me. and ya the other one not being enthusiastic about the jumping and gliding is sad.
Bring back old Ajax and Cedric!
Why does this have such few views?? It’s an amazing video and I can tell you worked very hard on it!
I hope you feel better post surgery and keep up the great work on your videos!
Thank you whyjordie! And I thought 10k was a lot, at least for me it is. :D
I LOVE this channel! I'm so glad you're getting better. Thank you so much for your content, it's amazing!
Hey Donovan, thank you so much!
@@ToridoriGaming YAY! A reply!! I really hope you do a Q&A video sometime. I love your personality and I'd love to get to know more about you without annoying you on stream.
You can ask me questions on stream, that's fine! 😀
Love that you went with Misty Bog. Looking at the updated environment with all its lighting and detail and mist had my jaw on my floor. Stared at a lot of these updated realms for a looooong time. Cheers for the great video Tori!
Thank you for watching Jack! Misty Bog in Reignited is truly spectacular, isn't it? :D
I had a flub or two in Tree Tops but nothing to the degree that you did. I think it's the charge that's been tweaked overall, turning seems a bit less forgiving.
A nightmare... you look forward to? But if it's a nightmare isn't it supposed to full of things you fear? Like, a dream full of bloody, macabre imagery and horrific monsters from beyond the veil of human imagination... does that qualify as a dream or a nightmare based on it's content, or how it makes you feel?
Toridori, indirectly asking the real philosophical questions.
See, you love my videos - I make you think. ;)
That's an interesting question. In a personal way i kind of had that with Brütal Legend, specifically the Guillotar which looks like a monstrous sloth corpse with guillotines for legs. I have a great fear of guillotines, but as soon as i learned that you could ride almost any animal in that game (spare of course for the metal hedgehog things) i wanted to ride them. And best thing is, riding them kind of helped me get over my fear of guillotines. Kind of. It was awesome riding around on them.
I was hell bent on 100% -ing Spyro 1 until I got to tree tops, lost a shittonne of lives and sacked the whole game off for a month, talk about a difficulty spike!
Oof, sorry to hear you had so much trouble with it! Tree Tops is a nightmare. 😱
Great list you have a really good top 5. Lofty Castle was my favourite in OG Spyro 1 but idk I feel like in Reignited it's not as good in terms of colour and skybox. My number 1 now would probably be Ice Cavern or Haunted Towers.
Thank you Matt! Ice Cavern was certainly a surprise for me as I never cared for it much before. :D
Agreed
Yes agreed, 1998s misty bog looked like arse, I actually enjoyed it on my play though of reignited ☺️👌
I'd happily build a house there, just got to avoid the snail elephants/rhinos! 😁
I eventually realized that with the speedramp jumps, instead of pressing X at the end of the ramp, you have to keep holding down square until you are close enough and still high enough to start gliding. it's off putting, but easier once you register the change
Yeah I could tell halfway through my second play through I was starting to get the hang of it, still I feel sorry for kids trying to pull off those ramp jumps!
I really love listening to your voice! it's so pretty!!
Thank you SpookyJordie! 😊❤️
In the original, I always thought the wizards in green robes were females; it was the laugh they gave.
One thing I really hated was how awful all the super charging felt in this game... my god and don't you dare use the analogue stick 'cause it feels almost impossible to make a sharp turn, I had to use the D-Pad when charging and supercharging around corners, I feel your pain girl!
It's such a shame because the supercharging combos were so much fun before. :(
This video in a nutshell: I hate dying because of my own mistakes therefore this level sucks.
Sure buddy suuuuure
Are you going to do Spyro 2 and 3?
I enjoy them all except Tree Tops. Still think it's the most poorly designed level in the trilogy
I'll drink to that!
Lucas also looks like he was inspired by nicol bolas a magic the gathering dragon, and plains walker
Ohhh I can see it in the horns and shoulder pads!
ooh! ooh! do a vid on "top ten worlds yo (tori's youtube community) picked!"
high caves is at some o´points a bit annoying but i liked it... but i hate tree tops :')
Tree Tops can burn! 😂
Im sorry Misty Bog is your no 1 and no mention of my boi Bubba hes like the best dragon
I can't mention that sexy boi, it gets the scalies all riled up!
21:08 I choked... brilliant xD
It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere, ya know? :/
First time I played through Reignited on PS4 I struggled quite a bit in Tree Tops with the jumps, however when I played it again on Xbox One i didn't really struggle with it... I guess learning it all from previous run helped me quite a lot (especially with Gulp in Ripto's Rage).
Gulp... my arch nemesis in Reignited...
I like tree tops because it is fun and to me it's not actually that hard.
Fair enough 😊
I love your voice
Thank you! :3
I think if Toys for Bob could've found the source code for the three games it would've been alot better. :3
Since Crash Bandicoot Insane Trilogy had the Source Code and even the upcoming Medievil has it too. Spyro will never be the same without it. :3
Reignited was still good without it! :)
@@ToridoriGaming Spyro scope was good but though it had flaws. :3
Maybe it was rushed too soon. :3
I am frustrated and happy at the same time. :3
Watched this video a few times, hope you you do it with the other 2 games! Love your content Tori ❤
Rahhh this bird plays spyro, I rate that
I don’t even know if I played the first game when little or only watched ; as only some of it was vaguely familiar. (And I did have clear empty levels and crystal dragon memories )
But the animated armor well.... I was alarmed. 😱
uwu
I’ve noticed something though, like how people say when Bull riding you need to roll with it instead of fighting it. That seems to translate to the difficult jumps in this. Don’t help the game. Hahahaha
I'm glad your surgery went well!! I hope you'll feel weel soon!!
I’ll have to agree on no. 1
I didn’t really care for the level in the original, but I had a really good time with it in reignited.
Great video once again! Didn’t even feel like it’s 40 minutes 👍
Hey hcsp1, thanks! Yeah I was taken away by how good Misty Bog was in Reignited, think TFB did an absolutely fantastic job. :D
I find it ironic how you mention Lucas is cool with his Charizard-like color scheme, yet you don't like Cedric who imo looks way more like Charizard.
I don't really see the connection there, sorry. Also I hated Cedric's voice and animations compared to his 1998 counterpart.
well done for making a video so soon after surgery
Thank you :)
Just a minor note regarding tree tops. The second supercharge route that you pull off was the proper way to do it in the original as well, but your route was cool to find! I guess TFB used the original route only
Also high caves, you could reach the caves without supercharge. If anything I never thought of using supercharge to reach those caves
The reason Reignited's platforming was so rough for you is because it takes after 2 and 3's physics more and you need to charge into a jump then glide in order to get the most distance.
Yeah literally I noticed that too
I finally decided to place the Dream Wavers world “Haunted Towers” as my most favourite level in Spyro 1 Reignited. Many things I love about this level such as the cute looking fairies 🧚♂️ that give Spyro a magic kiss, the colourful memorable dragons and the addition of the eerie green 🟢 glow that pulsates off the metal knights. So yeah It’s definitely worthy being at No.1 of the all 17 levels 😊
You know, it never occurred to me that my name might appear in your credits. I was very confused for a second
You donated silly! :D
I was going through the Tree Tops struggle just yesterday. I don't know if it's an issue with my PS4 but it seems like occasionally turn inputs get dropped while charging, which made that level even more extra fun. I totally forgot about the mini map that was added in Reignighted, which might have made my life just a little easier. Gonna try and clean it up today :D
You can do eeeet, I believe in you! :D
@@ToridoriGaming thank you! I actually just got it done.
“The good kind of nightmare” hahah i love that! XD love the video just subbed!!
Thank you Yamabrame! 😊
More lies from Tori, no one ever gets mad at you.
Don't lie, you always get mad at me when I play badly during streams. ;)
@@ToridoriGaming Lies, I have literally never ever been mad at you for playing badly. Now behave yourself Tori and stop spreading such slanderous falsehoods about me.
My Favorite New Realm In The Reignited Trilogy Is Enchanted Towers. How Did They Make This Better? HOW?! Like If You Agree.
so I know there's a lot more to your review than this obviously, but I noticed how you repeatedly had problems with supercharge and sometimes gliding. I think I get what you mean, and I had the same problem too but once I figured it out I had no more issues with the mechanics whatsoever (well, except for the camera movement, but I think that's just me since I was so used to controlling the camera a certain way in the original game which just doesn't exist in reignited, so I had to have the camera on active all the time, otherwise it was impossible for me to play).
basically, I think it's a muscle memory problem. because we still remember how the old gameplay feels, we expect that the same will work for the reignited trilogy, which it doesn't really. I realized that gliding and using supercharge FEELS quite different from the original, but once I got it down and basically unlearned what my fingers knew from the original, I was totally fine with it. took me some time though lol, but by the time I got to tree tops I had already relearned how to use supercharge, but my GOD was learning annoying, especially in high caves. so yeah, I don't think I've seen newcomers have this kind of problem, it's just us old heads unfortunately :')
might be wrong here of course, but I think you just need to figure out the trick to it. like with gliding I think you need to allow spyro to hover for a bit longer before the glide (which is why to me gliding feels a bit slower than before) and for supercharge, you need to allow spyro to hold the charge for a bit longer before letting him glide (basically, the supercharge feels a bit slower and less powerful than the original). Idk, that's what helped ME, maybe it could help whoever's reading this as well :P
I don't know why they couldn't just replicate the exact feel of the original mechanics, but eh.... it's not that difficult to learn, it's just super annoying when you're expecting something else.....
Those young whippersnappers! Back in my day we supercharged and glided a certain way and WE LIKED IT.
My list goes like this:
1. Misty Bog
2. Ice Cavern
3. Tree Tops
4. High Caves
5. Wizard Peak
6. Dark Passage
7. Lofty Castle
8. Dry Canyon
9. Gnorc Cove
10. Town Square
11. Twilight Harbour
12. Alpine Ridge
13. Cliff Town
14. Dark Hollow
15. Terrace Village
16. Haunted Towers
17. Stone Hill
I still love all of them but that's it
You were at surgery.....get well soon!
Don't go to the Dark Passage in the meantime.....with all of the monster dogs and monster turtles around.
I'm feeling much better so I should be able to take on those evil doggos!
Toriiiiiii! I'm glad you are feeling better after the surgery. Making a major comeback with a long video too. Also, don't feel bad for taking time out. There is no shame in taking time out for yourself. Anyway, welcome back! Good quality videos as always.
Hello Mags, how are youuuu? I missed you guys. :'(
- Tree Tops: Oddly I didn't have too many issues with this level, at most it's just the weird layout that makes the order of doing things hard to decide. TFB did make the jump mechanics more difficult though, you really need to wait as late as possible to begin a glide. Also wow, you always used that completely different route? I would've found that impossible even on the original. XD
- Dry Canyon: No mention of that super weird vulture glitch people seem to keep getting? :P
- High Caves: LMAO at candle fetish. XD
- Twilight Harbour: OMG the enemies get so annoying here, I ALWAYS get hit by them. Don't underestimate the goo guns! :P Also if you try to get PSN trophies, finding all six gears is a NIGHTMARE.
- Cliff Town: I'm pretty sure there's a baby dragon in Spyro 3 called Marco too. :P Someone REALLY likes their Marcos at Insomniac.
That's the funny thing, I always thought that WAS the route you needed to take in Tree Tops. It's so odd that we all play these games differently. :D
What vulture glitch is that?
@@ToridoriGaming Do you remember when you did the stream how when the vulture just flew up to you out of nowhere (right before the big glide to the locked chest)? LOTS of people have gotten that glitch, myself included.
Ohhhh when it flew through the wall?
@@ToridoriGaming Yep!
I wonder if Marco was a generic name placer when they couldn't think of a name to give. You know, a default name.
I love how it's Marco though, not Phil or Bob.. xD
@@ToridoriGaming my default name is George.
I like George, used to have a 3 legged cat called George
Dreamweaver’s dragons have the best names such as Mudada, Unika and Lateef
Mudada, Mudada, MUDADA!
Lateef is one of my faves. He's so cool. Actually. Just all the Dreamweaver dragons.
Trying to avoid Spyro Reignited content is the most challenging thing I've done this year. I'm giving myself a pass for Spyro 1, though, seeing how this was the game that was showcased the most before release.
Don't spoil it for yourself!

I NEVER used the super charge for these things... I didn't even thought it was possible to charge to there...
We all have our weird ways of playing these games as kids. :D
@@ToridoriGaming True, True. Thanks for the amazing video btw! I wish I could support you more! Money isn't the greatest thing here, so All I can do is click on the ads. good luck!
That's more than enough, thank you Jonii!
Toys For Bob clearly loves the fairy designs too much
I don't blame them, fairies are smexy. ;)
Toridori the ones Toys For Bob made I agree with you on especially the ones in Charmed Ridge
Being honest, I didn't notice a huge problem with the gliding. Even when I didn't clear a jump, it always felt like my fault, like I didn't scooch far enough to the edge or didn't jump at the right time. Then again, it's been a long time since I played the original.
This is my first time playing the original Spyro games. I never had a PlayStation growing up, but I did like Spyro himself because he was a dragon and I've always loved dragons. In fact, I had a stuffed Spyro and a Spyro bobblehead growing up. I was lucky enough to play Spyro: Dawn of the Dragon on my Wii in my late teens. Now, at 28, I'm finally able to experience this wonderful trilogy! I'm on the final battle with Gnasty Gnorc right now, but after watching your video, I'm cracking up because I completely MISSED Icy Cavern!! I have to go figure out where it is. I thought I was missing some dragons and now I know where they are!
It's good to know the wonky game mechanic is not just me and is affecting veteran players. I find the camera to be frustrating at times as well as the gliding and jumping. I really enjoyed your list and found it funny that some of my favorite realms were towards the bottom of your's. I really enjoyed Gnorc Cove because I loved hitting the metal barrels at the Gnorcs. I was tickled to just headbutt the barrels over and over again and there were some really satisfying Gnorc kills in that level, like the 4 TNT in a row on the stairs. Magic Crafters reminds me a lot of Norway. In fact, when I first entered the homeworld, I thought the orange-bearded trolls were friendly citizens or something and approached one thinking it would be a NPC to talk to. Oh, no, he promptly attacked me! And I never want to experience Haunted Towers again! I love the fairy kisses, but trying to not only do that crazy jump but also get up those stairs was enough to make me walk away for a bit lol.
Glad you're getting better every day!
I love Dark Passage!! It's easily number 1 for me!
But i like your list

Oh snap I didn't notice how close it was! :O
@@ToridoriGaming hehe congrats I love your passion for the Spyro games hehe 😊😊
I looove the Pink Floyd reference. Although ironically Brain Damage is the only song that even mentions the dark side of the moon on the album called DARK SIDE OF THE MOON. idk if that’s true bc I really only listen to Brain Damage, Time and Money. But regardless I love when someone combines two things from my childhood(even tho I’m still considered a child)
Unpopular opinion, tree tops is the best spyro 1 level, by far. It was soooo fun as a kid trying to figure that one out
one animation I miss and im sure is noticed in other realms i just never took notice aside from this one is in the second game in the snow realm the fodder there were little walking snowballs. in the original game when you hit them in any way they would melt. which would make sense when flamed (not so much charged though) but now they just POOF! and it upsets me greatly... idk why im so upset. i think its just one of those things. and like Ben Hack mentioned that I didn't noticed but thinking back i DO realize that 'noise' was missing XD I remember always hearing him if you were close by going "AHA" and yeah i didn't :O
one other thing I noticed the jumps were off too and realized (I'm sure you have by now) since they used the same basic mechanics for spyro through all three games in reignited you can now charge to do a jump in the first game which made metal head and those damn gems at the end much easier to get but in the original if you charged to do a jump you would go straight down and the charge wouldn't give you any distance. I think because of this however they nerfed the jumping in an odd way because in the second and third game you can use triangle to hover and get that extra umf. so the first game suffered a bit. not impossible but harder I suppose.
The game is very much not something for new people to jump right into and made more for old fans cause the design choices does NOT make it clear what can be charged or flamed and it can be frustrating for someone who never played it before. but it was nice to play with my nephew how at like age 2 I played the first one but now that he is 10 we played the new one and he was so entranced by the colors and enemies. this coming from a kid who loves playing violent games with high res I was glad to see him be more kid like and enjoy a game geared towards his age group ;A;
