Rather than being another topic for the glitches in Spyro games, this is a topic for the mistakes, inconsistencies, goofs, and simply small things that bug you in the Spyro games. It can be from the classic games or the LoS games. Big mistakes or tiny things that bug you. Just post them here.

To start off, I've just got some small things that bug me.

In Year of the Dragon, the fact that some of the hatchlings can already fly immediately when they hatch, and the hero, Spyro, can barely hover.

In Dawn of The Dragon, in the first cutscene:
Spyro: Cynder, what happened? Where are we?
Cynder: I don't know. It's all a blur.
Spyro: Yeah, Me too..
--
Okay, it's not that bad, but it just bugs me. Cynder says it's all a blur, and Spyro says "Me too." It just doesn't make sense, if you think about it. IMO, at least.

A more obvious one would be in Malefor's Lair in Dawn of the Dragon. I'm sure most of you know this one. Cynder whacks Spyro against the wall.. just watch:


Anyway, you can go ahead and post anything you find here. :3

That video was very interesting, it made me laugh when Spyro was against the wall, and then he wasn't, lol.

The producers did mention that they were going to a humorous cutscene with Volteer, Cyril and Sparx when the Golem attack, but they didn't have time to add it in.

Exactly! I think I actually like his design in DOTD then. I want to jump into the game and just run to him and give him a hug, and this may sound random, I also think Ratchet is cuddly too. smilie

When Spyro was nearly crying in DotD, I just wanted to come and give him a big hug.... They certainly got his face right there smilie

BUT GOOFS.

Probably because they didn't check Insomniac's game properly, but the whole concept of every baby dragon getting a dragonfly in ETD was kinda weird to me, when no other dragon had one.

"Because you've left me with nothing to fight for..."I know that line was a little weird, but it was still touching, nonetheless. I also noticed that there are a couple of parts in DotD where Cynder puts on puppy dog eyes! So cute!smilie

Goofs:

That is all.

There is no explanation for the change of their voices though.

The change in their voice are sorta mistakes or were intended, but not their crystallizations.

Something inconsistent that kind of bothered me with the original series was the fact that Ripto survived falling into the lava. Okay, I know that Ripto is magical, and that Insomniac meant him to stay alive. But if Ripto was magical and could survive the lava, then why didn't the Sorcerous? Wasn't she magical as well? How come she didn't survive but Ripto did? Was it because she fell in a second time that she died and wasn't as strong enough the second time? None of these questions are answered anywhere in the games.

**Important Note: I love playing every game the original series of Spyro, and I love each games' story line as well. I'm not trying on purpose to pick out every flaw or plothole within the original games and storyline. That was my honest opinion about the ending to Spyro 2. It just didn't make sense to me.

The Sorcerer's tough hide protected her from the lava. But she finally died a second time when she crashed into the green sticky goo that isn't like lava. In some levels in YOTD, when Spyro lands in the green goo, he instantly dies sinking in.

Okay. That makes sense. But then what about Ripto? How come he survived after sinking into the lava? He didn't climb out of it like the Sorcerous did in Spyro 3. How was he still alive?

That you blame the game producers who wanted Ripto to come back as a villian and obviously didn't have the creativity to create a new one in the selected Spyro games he was in.

Okay. That makes sense. So basically, the game designers of Spyro (4): Enter The Dragonfly messed up in picking Ripto as the villian because they neglected to explain the fact that he died in the second game. Kind of weird that they'd forget that important detail, don't you think? I mean they didn't need a lengthy explanation to explain it. They could've just inserted a short explanation to how Ripto survived. For example, they could've had Ripto say, "I survived that fiery demise by simply waving my magic wand, which teleported me to safety." It would've be cheesy, but at least it would be explaining it. Oh well. What's done is done. Thanks anyway Aura24 for explaining it to me.

They were originally going to have Gnasty Gnorc return in ETD as a secondary villain with Ripto, but the publisher rushed the development team, and that's why you see ETD how it is today: Glitchy and incomplete.

That's a shame for Spyro (4): Enter The Dragonfly. But that's what we get when the publishers rush a video game in order to meet a holiday deadline. Ideas for the game get thrown out, the game design is rushed, and glitches occur due to bad game coding.

Ripto didn't die for the same reason Bowser is still the main villain in Mario(Seriously, have you seen the ending of both Mario Galaxy games!?)

Video game logic:
Don't think about it, or you will hurt your head.

What do you mean? Hunter didn't die or anything related. He stayed with Spyro in the Dragon Realms sometime after RR and is his best friend.
