2.THE BASICS OF THE GAME
***********************************************************************
Spyro only has Ice Breath at the start because Ripto a diminutive
dinosaur has stolen all the fireflies that are the source of fiery
dragon power.
Here are a few tips about the Basics of the game:
-The only breath you have at the start is ICE breath. To kill baddies
you have to freeze them than charge at them (R Button) to kill them. In
Country Farms the baddies can be destroyed in one shot of ice breath
and you don't have to charge at them to destroy them afterwards!
-Some baddies cannot be destroyed with FIRE Breath like the mummies in
the Temple of Dune. You have to use the technique above.
-To catch fireflies, you must freeze them with your ICE breath and go
next to them. It will then say, "You have caught <Firefly's name>".
-Fodder will restore Spyro's heath by one point. Just Headbutt the
sheep, rabbits, frogs and lizards and collect the blue butterfly that
appears. A Butterfly in a jar will give you an extra life. Headbutt
sheep, rabbits, frogs and lizards and you will get a butterfly. It will
not straight away increase your lives but keep doing this to gain
lives.
-Press L Button and Select together to bring up the Map to help you get
through the level. The Red Cross indicates where you are. When you go
on the map screen, the black areas indicate that you haven't been in
that area yet.
-There are 3 Plains, Sunny, Celestial and Starry. Each contains levels,
which need a certain amount of fireflies to open up.
-Agent 9 and Sheila have their own levels.
-Sparx gives you advice from time to time.
-You can pick up gems in all of the levels and plains. Here tells you
what they are worth: Red Gem= 1, 1 Green Gem is worth 2 red Gems; 1
Purple gem is worth 5 red gems; 1 yellow gem is worth 10 red ones and 1
blue gem is worth 25 red ones. Blue gems are available in each level
once but you will have to find it. We might cover this in later
versions of the guide.
-Spyro's health is indicated by Sparx's colour. Here is a chart:
No Hits... Yellow
1 Hit..... Blue
2 Hits.... Green
3 Hits.... No Sparx
4 Hits.... Dead (Lose a life)
In later levels a fairy will give you an extra life before you die.
***********************************************************************
3.CHARACTERS: FRIENDS AND FOES
***********************************************************************
Here are Spyro's Friends:
SPARX: A dragonfly that is Spyro's closest friend. He follows Spyro
everywhere. When Spyro gets attacked, Sparx changes colour (See Section
2). In Sparx's Panic he can use fire by pressing A or B Button.
AGENT 9: THE SPACE MONKEY: He is a monkey (duh!). He has a gun to fire
and protect himself and he also has 3 lives at the start of his levels.
He helps Spyro to get fireflies and gems. He also can duck and open
doors as well as firing weapons.
SHEILA THE KANGAROO: She is from Australia. She helps Spyro to get gems
and fireflies. Often, you have to pay Moneybags to get into her levels.
In her levels you usually press A Button (twice) and then B Button on
the objects shown in the Atlas (Pause Menu) to get the firefly. (EG: On
Canyon Hop, You have to use this technique on the flowerpots.)
HUNTER: Spyro at the start freezes him accidentally. He can give Spyro
some time-to-time training. He also finds fireflies for Spyro.
BIANCA: She finds fireflies for Spyro and opens up other Plains Spyro
has found. She also has good knowledge of magic because of her spell
book. She is a powerful sorceress with a heart of gold.
ZOE: She is a fairy and saves Spyro's progress in levels. This happens
when you go near her. She is found in the middle of the levels. She is
also the kindest fairy in the Dragon Realms.
MONEYBAGS: He is a bear. He wants you to give him gems and he will give
you an entrance to levels. He can be found outside Sheila's level
portals.
CALLIOPE: She is a fairy and can be found at the start of the Starry
Plains.
Here are Spyro's Foes:
CRUSH: Crush is Ripto's henchman and he has a big club. He can also
fly. In his level you'll need to get the ice cubes and Press B and
he'll freeze. Then Headbutt him. Use this technique 3 times to beat
him. He will be at the Celestial Plain Portal.
GULP: He is green and he is quadruped with 2 rockets. He has armour and
it is indestructible. Don't worry, though you can get the rockets and
press B to blow him up. Do this 3 times to kill him. If you hear a
"ting" sound there is a bomb to pick up and to fire at his face.
RIPTO:???
***********************************************************************
4. SUNNY PLAINS
***********************************************************************
In this section we will be explaining how to get every firefly we have
found in each portal. It will be in a format like this:
Gems: Total number of gems to find in the level/Plain.
Fireflies: Total number of fireflies to get in the level/Plain.
Fireflies to get into the Portal: Number of Fireflies to get into the
level or Plain.
Lets get on then!
First, Sunny Plains and its levels.
Sunny Plains is the first plain you start in, so no fireflies are
needed to get into the plain. But here is a list of levels (Portals) in
the Sunny Plains that need fireflies to open them up:
COUNTRY FARMS:...............NO FIREFLIES NEEDED
SHARMOCK ISLE:.............. 3 FIREFLIES
TEMPLE OF DUNE:............. 10 FIREFLIES
MINTY MINES (AGENT 9 LEVEL)..12 FIREFLIES
TIKI TROPICS:................14 FIREFLIES
ALPINE ADOBE:............... 18 FIREFLIES
CANYON HOP (SHEILA LEVEL):.. 500 GEMS (PAY MONEYBAGS)
TO GO TO CELESTIAL PLAINS:.. 22 FIREFLIES (EXPLAINED LATER.)
There are 6 fireflies to find in Sunny Plains itself, and we will
explain below how to get them and to avoid confusion, we will also give
you the NAME of the firefly you should have caught. (Also when I said
the top, I mean on the Map when you press L and Select together:)
-At the start, talk to Bianca near the trees and she will give you a
firefly called Pyro. (Near Sharmock Isle Portal)
-Talk to Hunter next, he is located near 3 sheep and trees and he will
give you a firefly called Brimstone.
-There is an extra life butterfly near the top of the level in a jar.
-One firefly is near a big golden sundial near the top of the Map. The
firefly is called Smoky.
-Go to the top of the Map and climb the platform. Hunter will be there
to give you jumping, gliding and hovering practice. Just do what
Hunter, then Sparx says and when you reach the end Hunter will give you
a firefly called Magma. There is also a Blue Gem there, which is worth
25 red gems. Country Farms is also there. (Explained later).
-Go near the bottom of the map and you should see 2 ice cones. Thus is
called an ice gate which you can have 30 seconds of Super Ice Breath,
Bianca should also be there and she will give you a firefly called
Incendio.
-Once you get the Fire Breath, (Explained Later) light up the Sun
statues around the plain and you will get a firefly when you light up
the last statue.
GEMS: 300
FIREFLIES: 6
***********************************************************************
4.1 COUNTRY FARMS
***********************************************************************
This is the first level you should go to because you don't need that
many fireflies to get into the level.
-Talk to the first person. She will say to rescue her sister, Daisy.
-There is a firefly called Welt in the first farm after the start.
-A firefly called Parch is right at the bottom of the Map.
-Zoe is in this level to save your progress.
-Zap is found near the farm you caught Parch in.
-Kill a Rhynoc to save Daisy. She is up a high platform and you'll get
a firefly called Blush.
-Bianca will give you fire breath after you rescue Daisy.
-There is a blue gem if you climb up a slide and glide to the platform
next to it. There is also a one extra life butterfly.
-A firefly called Shock is found right in the middle of the map.
-Burn all the haystacks in the level with your new fire breath and you
will get a firefly called Scald.
-*CHALLENGE PORTAL* Freeze all the milk bottles to get a firefly called
Crimson.
GEMS: 300
FIREFLIES: 7 (ONE IN A CHALLENGE PORTAL).
***********************************************************************
4.2 TEMPLE OF DUNE
***********************************************************************
This is the next level you should go to. You will need 10 fireflies to
open this portal.
Tips:
-Knock down all 7 black bombs with your headbutt to get firefly called
Hibana. Position yourself with the bomb otherwise you might fall into
the water.
-Use your ice breath to freeze the drinks (lemonade) to get a firefly
called Matches.
-You will find a firefly called Rocket after you first glide over the
sea and it is near a lake.

come across.
-You will find a firefly called Blaze near the bottom of the map.
(Press L and Select together).

to headbutt the rock to get in.
GEMS: 300
FIREFLIES: 7
***********************************************************************
4.3 TIKI TROPICS
***********************************************************************
You will need 14 fireflies to get into this level.
-Light up the golden statues with your fire breath to get a firefly
called Scarlett.
-Burn the vines in your path with your fire breath to get a firefly
called Gleam. Don't go near the vines or you will lose a Sparx colour.
-You will find a firefly called flicker near the end of the first
platform that you start on.
-The auto-save fairy is near the beginning of the second platform.
-To get to the platforms over the sea, go through the super-ice breath
barrier to freeze the water. Light up all the statues to get a firefly.
(This is quite hard). You'll need to be quick with Spyro because you
can easily get stuck on one of the islands with the statue.
-You will find a firefly called Twinkle near the first pyramid on your
map.
-You will find a firefly called Burner near the bottom of the smaller
pyramid.
-You will find a firefly called Glitter near the lake in the middle of
your map. You'll find the blue gem on a platform near the Sunny Plains
exit portal. You should go up the fourth step of the Pyramid and glide.
You might not get there the first time but keep trying!
GEMS: 400
FIREFLIES: 7
***********************************************************************
4.4.SHARMOCK ISLE
***********************************************************************
I found this level hard at first but it turned out to be easy. You will
need 3 fireflies to get into this portal.
-Freeze all the springs shooting up with water in this level and turn
them into flowers. When you freeze the last one you will get a firefly
called Simoon.
-*CHALLENGE PORTAL* Freeze all 3 pixies to get a firefly when you talk
to Billy who is outside the portal called Beam. (Tactics to do this in
later versions).
-Go to the end of the level, and when you get to the top of the map you
should see a red horseshoe. Talk to Brain at the start of the level to
get a firefly called Shine.
-3 other fireflies can be caught throughout this level. One at the
beginning called Scald.
-There is a harder version of the pixie game when you take to Billy
after you done the first one. Freeze all 4 pixies to get a firefly of
Billy called Ashley.
GEMS: 300
FIREFLIES: 7
***********************************************************************
4.5.MINTY MINES
***********************************************************************
This is an Agent 9 level that should be easy, as you have to get to the
end of this level to find the firefly in a box. You need 12 fireflies
to get into this level.
GEMS: 300
FIREFLIES: 1
***********************************************************************
4.6.CANYON HOP
***********************************************************************
This is the kangaroo's level and should be easy, as you can't fall off.
All you have to do is to jump on the flowerpots (A then A then B to
kick on the flowerpots) to make the flowers grow. Do all off them and a
firefly in a jar should appear near the end of the level. You will need
to pay Moneybags 300 gems to get into this level. There are about 10
flowerpots.
GEMS: 300
FIREFLIES: 1
***********************************************************************
4.7.ALPINE ADOBE
***********************************************************************
This is another Agent 9 level. This is harder than Minty Mines so be
careful. Duck as much as possible and get the shield and bullets when
it is running low. The firefly should be at the end of this level in a
box. (The firefly has no name). There are 3 blue gems in this level.
The first one is when you jump on some platforms where the washing line
and you'll need to jump on top of a house and onto a smaller one to get
the gem.
FIREFLIES: 1
***********************************************************************
5.CELESTIAL PLAINS
***********************************************************************
Before you enter the Celestial Plains, you have to kill Crush. This is
how to defeat him:
-When he fires ice cubes, he sometimes drops them. Get these by walking
over them and glide to the middle platform in the arena.
-Get him in your aim, then fire the ice cube and then when he is frozen
headbutt him.
-You should hear a 'bringg' sound. Do this 3 times and you will win.
-The fairy Cleo should give you the super-headbutt ability, which lets
you break hard rocks (usually purple). That leads into secret passages
e.g. Like in the Temple of Dune.
Now you should be in the Celestial Plains. Like Sunny Plains there are
a lot of gems and fireflies to find. Here is where to find all the
fireflies:
-Do super headbutt on the rock near Hunter and he will give you a
firefly called Sparkle.
-You will find a firefly called Brule in the far-left side of the map.
-You'll get Glow when you talk to Bianca near the super-flame breath
barrier.
-You'll find a firefly called Toasty on the third platform on the right
near the Wateropia Portal.
-You'll find Phospho on the right of the map near the super ice breath
barrier.
-When you light up all the moon statues with your ice breath you will
get a firefly called Pepper.

6.CONTRIBUTED CODES AND TIPS
***********************************************************************
donaldmaull sent me this tip (I haven't tried it):
To kill Ripto, you have to zap his cards with the super powered breath-
weapons located at the south, west and east of the arena (over the
lava). Zap the red card with super-fire, the blue with super-ice and
green with lightning. When the cards are down, you have a few seconds
to head-but him before the cards come back, do this 3 times and he will
be defeated.
Any people who have tried this tip please email me.
UPDATE (14/4/03): I have tried this tip and it works. Thanks
Donaldmaull! This tip helped us beat Ripto!
