1. I don't have a clue, I never thought about that before. Probably, Andrew? That was the first name that came to mind just now.
2. Sparx never really talks that much in the classic era, but I think it's funny when he says "Small dark holes, not a problem for me Spyro, I'll have that lock removed in no time" It's just the first part of the quote that sounds so wrong to me. For Spyro, it would be in the second game where he says "Yup, if you wanna test that power crystal why doncha try it on me? I'll stand still, I promise" I like that as it makes me think "Yeah right, Spyro just wouldn't stand there and let it happen"
3. Any in the first three games really, I suppose the second is my favourite if I had to pick because he always looks angry, and I just think that makes him look so cool. Well he is a dragon, and should look bad-ass.

4. Metropolis, I really like the design of the level and the music is really cool, plus the highlight of this whole game really is the power-up at the end, where it's mixed with flight and superflame to be used for chasing down UFOs! So random and fun!
I don't really like the TLoS series and I haven't played it in a long time so I don't really remember much from it, and I haven't played Skylanders, that price tag is still pushing me away.
