  • Speedrunners seem to have this weird obsession with charging when they play Spyro games. Don't know why; he's a dragon, not a bull.

    I’ve done this in the original game, It’s possible to get by the Druid in magic crafters by either using a very precise wall glide, or just jumping onto the stage decoration to the right, and then jumping over it. Also the way to beat Gnasty Gnorc at the end is the same, but seemingly way more precise.

    2:35 actually you can reach Cedrick and the end portal without the supercharge. Just jump and glide from the castle wall into the second mouth of the cave.

    Happy birthday buddy.
    A great vid, I've seen no flight/gems/swim etc run... But no charge is new to me! I'll be honest, I'm really surprised with the result!
    Def be interested in a spyro 2 when you get around to it 👍

    Great video! I do feel most of the challenge was in the final boss alone, but still a fun watch. Now we need to wait for spyro 2 and 3 (which I think will be easier than this game, but I will have to wait).

    Wow! I didnt even know this was possible! Kudos to you, dude!
    Funny thing: a while back, I actually tried to do a minimalist run where Spyro cant charge, flame or glide/fly (and no glitches) and I got 23 dragons and 509 gems (some were acquired by tricking certain enemies into killing each other) before I hit a dead end due to the balloonist requiring 1,200 gems to enter Magic Crafters. Such is life! (And as you pointed out elsewhere, its impossible to beat Gnasty without the Flame Breath anyway) That said, Ive been thinking of doing a Minimalist run in the vein of this though; no charging, only 1 glide jump allowed*, and using the absolute minimum amount of jumps and flame breathes required to complete the game. Think I should give it a shot?
    * Going off an NGPlus vid, I find it funny that Spyro 1 only requires one glide jump in the Dream Weavers hub to complete the game!

    Wait a minute. . . Spyro is a Skylander, and Spyro has supercharges in it, which can only mean that Skylanders Superchargers was teased years before it was in development!

    0:19 and now that you mention it, now that you did crash, did spyro, did the DK dlc from Mario + Rabbids… i guess? Would there be a challange run possible for skylanders? Like no level ups/ upgrades? no damage? Without giants/ swap force/ trap master? Or for complete challange: without toutching gold
