darkSpyro

Hey there guys, I actually wrote this years back after "A Hero's Tail" came out, It was an idea for a Supergame, putting together 5 games in one. It'd be cool to play if it were real. Anyway, here it goes!

Basic concepts: When the game starts, you know how to Swim, Hover, Headbash, and Breathe Electricity(just for 10 seconds in the beginning of the game).

Gems: Red/Green/Blue/Yellow/Pink have the same amounts from the first game, there are purple gems now, which are worth 30.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________


The game starts out as the first game, the homeworlds become swimm-able after Gnasty's Defeat, its where you will find extra gems. Instead of Argus telling you about Toasty being the Artisans Boss, he will tell you that the Artisans main castle has been infiltraited by one of Gnasty's Henchmen. Instead of just Freeing 10 Dragons, both beating Toasty and freeing 10 dragons will be the ticket to Peace Keepers, in order to gain access to "Toasty", all Artisan (main)Levels need to be completed. An Additional Dragon is found in Artisans. Peace Keepers has two egg theifs instead of one, two extra dragons, and 200 more gems to be found. Ice Cavern and Dry Canyon both have an extra dragon to be freed. Magic Crafters has extra land than it did in the first game, the fairies from High Caves are present, so falling is prevented. 3 more Egg Theifs are found here, 300 more Gems are found here, and one additional Dragon. Green Druids are present in Wizard Peak, they open and shut the archways, one more egg theif is also present in the level. In the level Blowhard, 2 Egg Theives are present, Alpine Ridge also having two more. Beast Makers has 400 more Gems and one additional Dragon. 100 more Gems are found in both Misty Bog and Metalhead. Dream Weavers has 2 more Dragons and 100 more Gems. Dark Passage and Jacques both have an extra Dragon, Lofty Castle and Haunted Towers both have an extra 300 gems to be found. A Cutscene starts after Spyro enters the Boss realm of Jacques.

The cutscene starts in the Artisans Homeworld, Lateef, Tomas, Deblin, Magnus, Cosmos, Cleetus, Titan, Lyle, Nils and Nestor are discussing having trouble believing that Spyro can beat Gnasty Gnorc on his own, they fly to Gnasty's World and before they charge in to Gnasty's Lair, Titan instructs Magnus to stay behind if something were to go wrong, Magnus flies towards Twilight Harbor and starts watching the Gnorcs. The other Dragons charge into Gnasty's Lair, and declare that Gnasty has one last chance to give up or become dragon bait. Gnasty raises up his club. The screen changes to outside in Gnasty's World, You hear a crystalizing beam, and a Dragon Statue appears in the middle of Gnorc Gnexus. Gnasty lets out an evil laugh. After Spyro defeats Jacques, another cutscene starts, It starts out as a monitor screen n Gnasty's lair, Gnasty watched Spyro defeat Jacques. Gnasty lets out a roar, raises up his club another time, "Time to make the Dragon Junkyard a bit more interesting!". Let me make a note here, this time Gnasty's World has Gnorc Cove, Twilight Harbor, his Lair, and a locked door to his treasure hoard all attached to the island (but that changes). Gnasty's club let's out a multicolored beam into the sky and it covers all of Gnasty's World, The four levels soon dissapear. In their place are portals. "Won't be see easy now!" Gnasty says with a grin. Gnorc Cove now has Titan, Nils and Nestor you need to free, and Twilight Harbor now has Lyle you need to Free. As soon as you enter Twlight Harbor, Magnus watches Spyro enter the level and flies off back to Gnasty's World. Once you enter Gnasty Gnorc's Portal, Magnus comes out from behind The Dragon head holding Gnasty's Portal, He makes a run for the portal, you hear "I don't think so Dragon" and Magnus becomes Crystalized.

After the battle with Gnasty Gnorc, The regular cutscenes follow. After Gnasty's Loot, Two cutscenes are seen, the end interview and then a cutscene from Gnasty's lair; Gnasty is flat on the ground, he pushes himself up and starts to workout, "You haven't seen the last of me.... Dragon".

One really different feature, which will only be for the first part of the game only (Artisans-Dream Weavers), There are no return home vortex's in each realm, instead at the end of every level has a power crystal that you must take back to the begining of the level. Where you start at the beginning of the level has a de-activated portal behind you, the power crystal activates it. After you return to the home level, the level actually starts to gain land, the portal disappears, and each location of the homeworld becomes attatched to the homeworld, for example (say when you come out of the Dark Hollow portal in Artisans, the portal de-activates, becomes a short walkway into the Dark Hollow. So all levels would be attached to the homeworld afterwards)

After 100% is reached in the 1st Game, make your way to Stone Hill, a cutscene starts for Ripto's Rage. Everything is the same within the Ripto's Rage part of the game until you get to Dragon Shores (Oh by the way, Moneybags doesn't give you back the Gems yet). The Games are the same, but as soon as you get to the door that holds the permanent Powerflame, one of the park Gnorc's stop you, he tells you that there's more work that needs to be done, and that Spyro should stop by Summer Forrest. Return to Summer Forrest, you find the Bridge has been repaired, and near Glimmer, The Proffessor has completed a Portal to the Dragon Realms, Enter the portal. The Professor will follow you. Once you're back in Stone Hill, The Proffessor creates a Portal that sends you to Avalar, while doing so Hunter shoots out of the Portal. The Professor enters the Portal, and a cutscene for the 3rd Game starts. Except for 5000 more gems and 20 more Eggs found in the Forgotten Worlds, nothing has changed. After Super Bonus Round, you're back in the Dragon Realms again, a Forgotten Realms Portal forms over the tunnel that Spyro took there. Back in Artisans, the castle where you start in the first part of the game, opens up and provides a passage to a new part of the dragon kingdom, and that's when the 4th/5th games take place. The journey in the 4th and 5th games become combined, the final battle with Ripto comes before Red, Ripto's battle is a co-op battle with Gnasty Gnorc (which will be nothing like Gnasty's appearance in Hero's Tail). Red's 2nd and Last battle will be a bit harder because Ripto will crash the battle in the middle of it, and start trying to help Red. After the ending scenes of the 4th and 5th games, you return to Artisans and you find that Nestor has been crystalized again, he reveals to Spyro that Gnasty and Ripto went off to the Forgotten Realms to discuss important matters. A Cutscene then starts with Ripto and Gnasty entering into one of the Socceress' lairs, there they are joined by Crush/Gulp/Spike/Buzz/Scorch and The Socceress, they begin plotting to team up on Spyro.

After the cutscene, The Professor signals you over to the Avalar and Forgotten Realms portals, he created another Portal that leads to a forgotten place in the Dragon Realms named Baddie Junkyard. A Land that's similar to Gnorc Cove, Tree Tops, and Wizard Peak. The first thing you see in the level is a Crystalized Dragon, free him and he'll introduce you to the level. Enemies in this level are: Egg Thieves, Strong Arms, Druids, Bulls, Blue Wizards, Female Fools, Falcons, Brown Lizards, Armored Riptocs, and Flying Rhynocs. Gems: 950. Eggs: 4.

Now from this point on, Every level is free to explore, Whenever you explore a level, there's an option for either exploring the level with or without the enimes and challenges. At the moment, Gnasty Gnorcs level is free to explore, he isn't even there! Explore his level, and after, Gnasty and Ripto have an Avalar cutscene, the two discuss strategies on how to defeat Spyro. Go back to Artisans where in the professor will meet you in the field towards Toasty, He has developed another Portal that takes you to Ripto's homeland. 1200 Gems, 2 Orbs, 2 Eggs, and a Dragonfly are found here. Magnus meets you at the end of the level to inform you that after Ripto had left, the Dragons left the realm to live in the Forgotten Worlds.

After that level, another cutscene starts with Ripto, The Socceress, and Gnasty sorting out the final plans to defeat Spyro once and for all. Once you come out of the Portal, The Proffessor has finished another portal next to it, the realm is called "Gnorcs, Rhynocs, and Riptocs!"
The Realm has similar looks to Lofty Castle, Fracture Hills, Stone Hill, and Twilight Harbor.

Enimies: Weather Wizards, Egg Theives, Dinosaur Tourists, Earthshappers, Shooting Rhynocs, Boars, Laser Cows, Sheppards, Rams, Blue Wizards, Druids, and Machine Gunners.

Gems: 900 _____ Eggs: 3

After beating the level, A cutscene starts with Toasty, Metalhead, Blowhard, Jacques, Dr. Shemp are with Crush and Gulp in Ripto's Arena, discussing what Ripto/Gnasty/The Sorceress have planned, there is alot of doubt between the henchmen on how the plan will work. Buzz, Scorch, and Spike enter the arena, Spike notes that the henchmen should get ready, that its time to powerup. Metalhead adds in that Gnasty plans to renovating the arena, Gulp asks how, before Metalhead can answer, a blast from Gnasty's staff blasts the arena.

A second cutscene then starts, Spyro comes out of the portal - Elora, Hunter, Bianca, Agent 9, Sgt Byrd, Deblin, Nestor and The Proffessor all approach Spyro. They break it to Spyro that all of the Villains have joined forces and have major plans to make sparx dissappear and defeat Spyro for good. Deblin reveals that the villains are waiting in Ripto's Arena. "They're toast!" Spyro says. End Cutscene

Before you can run off to Avalar, Sparx stops you and suggests to check with the Gnorcs in Dragon Shores to see if the powerup is ready, Go there, and it turns out that the powerup was converted to a permanent SuperFlame/Superfly powerup, the Gnorc notes that it becomes uneffective in minor boss battles. Also if you don't want it to be permanent, go through it again and it will ware-off.

After Dragon shores, Go on over to Winter Tundra where Elora will be waiting for you. Elora will talk to you about how Gnasty/Ripto/Sorceress' and their minions have paired up in Ripto's Arena and are waiting for you. Go into Ripto's Arena to find that the arena has become quite lengthy and have adapted many locations of each boss realm. You have to battle each Villain one-by-one, The Superfly/Superflame power-up is not in effect for this.

Crush is first, same strategy but takes 5 more flames to defeat him. Blowhard comes next, you beat him by using Ice Breath and then charging him 8 times. Toasty comes after and it takes 10 flames to really toast him. Buzz comes next, it takes 9 times being in the lava to defeat him. Metalhead is the same but provides a larger electrical maze, beat the maze and electric breath him. Jacques comes after who takes Ice Breaths then Headbash (4 times). Gulp comes next with different weapons, it takes 9 weapons to defeat him. Dr. Shemp is next and fire proof, but not electric proof (hint hint, haha). Spike comes next and Sgt Byrd joins you and provides you different weapons. Scorch is next, its the same battle, but this time, he's capable of spitting out - Earthshappers, Dog Gnorcs, Demon Dogs, Gnorc Commandos, and a clone of Crush. You move on to Ripto/Gnasty/The Sorceress who are all in shock that you made it, they're all about to attack when Red comes flying into the arena to battle with the villains. This is when the Superfly/Superflame powerup finally takes effect, Just watch out for the attacks! It takes 3 superflames on Gnasty, 15 on Ripto, 20 on The Sorceress, and 25 on Red. A cutscene then starts after they're all finished off, They're all panting and in disbelief, a portal opens up behind them, they jump in and claim they'll be back.

Any level now can be explored freely, even the boss levels.

More Concepts

Bubble Breath is learned from Moneybags in Evening Lake
Climb is learned from Moneybags in Glimmer
Ice Breath is learned from Moneybags in Winter Tundra
Longer Electricity Breath from Moneybags in Metropolis

After the ultimate villain battle, Moneybags is found in the Artisans world, Spyro demands the gems back, Moneybags runs off, you have to flame him to get the gems back, you do this through all of the Artisans realm (from Artisans - Toasty, track that bear down!)

Any cutscene is avaliable to watch at the Dragon Shore Theatre

New feature after the Villain battle - Ripto is found in his home realm, find him and instead of attacking, he'll tell you about where he found Gulp and Crush. Same goes for Gnasty Gnorc, He'll be roaming Gnorc Gnexus, find him and he'll tell you why he was banished and how he made his minions(bosses).

Well, that's all I had written down! Hope you guys like!
