which of the original spyro trilogy is the best and why is it spyro 2

because it's better than 1 but not better than 3

Because Skylanders is better.

[Runs]

Spyro 2 is best. Avalar is my favorite world, and the soundtrack completely fills me with nostalgia. Then 3, followed by 1.

Spyro 2 is the best one. It's a fact.

v1.1 - 19/7/04
Went over the guide with a SpellChecker and sorted out most of the spelling
mistakes, plainly a few will still be in there but it should be a bit better
then before. Plans for future versions include re-designing the layout and
format of the guide, but that won't be for a while as I am currently busy
writing my guide for Spyro: Year of the Dragon.

v1.0 - 16/7/04
Made the guide and not really put much effort into the ASCII again. Just the
same thing as always with a piece of writing underneath to denote the game.
Meh. Anyways, put the whole guide into here now so it might be able to help you
out. Only three Spyro games left to write a guide for now.

-------------------------------[02 - Introduction]-----------------------------
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-

This guide is a complete walkthrough to the game known to some as Spyro 2:
Gateway to Glimmer and to others as Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage. There's no real
difference in the games so this guide should cover them both.

A sequel to the amazingly good Spyro the Dragon, Glimmer takes Spyro out of his
familiar surroundings in the Dragon Realms and throws him straight into a new
world, Avalar. The change in location is a lot more than that though. Here the
characters are a lot more talkative and each level has more of an objective to
it rather than the 'get to the end' objective you had in the original. While
that is basically what the objectives are, they dress it up nicely.

This guide walks you through the three worlds, Summer Forest, Autumn Plains and
Winter Tundra. It also tells you about the Skill Points and the cheat codes.
While this game was released quite a while ago, I felt like doing this guide
anyway. Oh, and the guide will contain spoilers, I'm not entirely sure just how
big the spoilers are, but there are at least a few there so read on with care
if you like to play the game to find stuff out.

The Story
-=-=-=-=-

Here's the official word on the story from the spyrothedragon.com website:

Spyro decided to take a holiday to Dragon Shores. He invited his best friend
Sparx to join him and together the duo soared through a magic gateway, off for
a well-earned vacation. They were going to rest up from their victory over
Gnasty Gnorc in their first adventure. But fate was about to throw a wrench in
their travel plans.

Far away, the bitter and twisted Ripto, a dinosaur-riding troublemaker, along
with his henchmen Crush and Gulp, had taken control of the beautiful land of
Avalar. Ripto was a classic example of the "Napoleon Complex" - a little guy
who felt he must take on the world - frustrated, short tempered and spiteful.
Having stolen a magic sceptre, he was using his new-found power to pick on
everyone and generally spoil the peace and quiet of Avalar. He was making life
miserable with his magical spells...

The Controls
-=-=-=-=-=-=

All controls are the same whatever level you are in, and here they all are:

X Jump. Press again when in the air to glide.
Square Charge
Circle Flame
Triangle Look around in front of you/Stop glide (when gliding)
R1/L1/R2/L2 Spin camera right/left
START Access the pause menu
SELECT View Gems, Lives, Kills and Collection
D-Pad/Left Analog Move around
L1+L2+R1+R2 Sparx will point at the closest gem
X then Triangle Perform Headbash (Only works if you've bought the skill)

The gems have changed a little from the previous game. They are now more shaped
then before and one has been changed colour completely.

Gem Colour Gem Value
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Red 1
Green 2
Purple 5
Yellow 10
Pink 25


They also now come in different containers. Flammable Baskets, Chargeable
Vases, Exploding Vases, Unbreakable Chests, Headbash Chests and just lying
about on the floor. You will no longer get gems from killing things as they
will only release Spirit Particles now.

spyro 3 is the best because ripto is stoopid

1, never played 3

Quote: arceustheprime

1, never played 3

more like u never played any ;0

spyro one was really creative in levels and atmosphere, but 2 strengthened Spyro's best traits.

1 is the best

Fight me

2 is my fav but the ending feels kinda rushed every time i replay it

spyro 0: gateway to nothing

I feel Spyro 3 is the most complete Spyro with the most story, characters, music and variety of worlds. There's more plot than Kingdom Hearts.

• The forgotten world dying without magic 'cus there's no dragons around anymore.
  
• Moneybags working for the sorceress before getting his comeuppance every time.
  
• Bianca's character development from arrogant to tolerant to concerning to helpful.
  
• Hunter's beef with the flying sheep saucers and space cows.
  
• Sparx's own little adventures.
  
• The seals of Sunny Beach unable to look after themselves with destroying everything.
  
• The goats still taunting mooses no how many times they smash Billy's head through a wall.
  
• Princess Ami and Prince Azrael's love for each other despite the conflict between the fairies of Charmed Ridges and the cat wizards of Felinia (backed by the Sorceress via the Rhynocs).
  
• Hunter's skateboarding lessons.
  
• etc.
