These are great achievements but it'd be awesome if there were a failsafe for the completion ones; my internet went out and I had to reset my save.

You can now use an EU ROM to get achievements

Very frustrating game, not a huge fan. Also four of the achievements didn't pop for me which means i'll have to play through it again someday... Not now though, I don't think I can take it!

When you load the game, the stage ID address is 0. After loading the game, open the memory inspector (Can non-devs do it?) and if the value is 0 (and you aren't in autumn fairy home), exit the area and enter again

Please stop unlinking European ROMs, the achievements won't trigger at the wrong time anymore with them, and if they do, just report them.

Are any of the cheat codes allowed? I was hoping for Warp and 99 Lives to save time.

Ahhh ok, found a workaround. Enter codes, save game, close out, resume.

4 of these didn't even unlock for me, Twilight Bulb Factory Caterpillar Gardens Spring and Summer Home Worlds. No way in hell I am replaying this game just for those

Mastered.

I unlocked Dragonfly X-treme (10) even though I took damage in the first level.

Don't get me wrong, but this game is BAD. lol

FabinSS 21 Apr 2022 15:27

Another thing. I got stuck at 299/300 in Honey Marsh. I left the stage, returned and I got the last gem with an enemy, probably the one that when I killed the first time, got a cutscene and lost it. This is awful, really.

It's a decent collectable to master. After mastering this and moving onto spyro 2/rhynocs will make you appreciate the improvements a whole lot more.

Here's a helpful map for all the levels so you don't get lost http://faqs.darkspyro.net/img/spyro_ice_locations.png

Mastered in 8h! At first I wasn't even sure if I could master this game at all bc it's so frustrating in the beginning, but if you get the hang of it it's quite easy lol. You still need a lot of patience from time to time (which I didn't have as a kid lol!), but it's doable.

Mastered, the game is very easy and lacks almost any challenge, but it was still fun to go from world to world collecting everything.

The game is pretty easy, but the Flight Challenges can be tricky to get everything on.

There are plenty of flaws in this game that was somewhat fixed in the later games. The isometric view more often that not causes more harm then good, you can't tell what looks like a platform and what doesn't at times and I assure you most of your deaths will come from falling into pits
do to the isometric angles. The worst level in the game by far goes to Hummingbird Fort.

The Thieves in this game are too fast to difficult to catch, you can't use your flame breath and there's a very small hitbox for you to hit with your charge. The worst thief has to be the one in world 3, where there's holes all over that will instantly kill you if you even touch the border of the pool.

Speaking of which, why did spyro forget how to swim? Besides that, why does he not take damage when he falls in water like spyro 1? Again, most of your deaths will be from pits or water because its instant death! This hurts because there's one fairy in each world that requires you to burn all of a specific object, and you have to start over each time you die!

The maps themselves, while simple for the most part, often has gems that are really hard to find, and with no gem tracker you will have to walk around the stage over and over possibly for half an hour looking for them.


By all means this is not a great game lol, Season of Flame is a MASSIVE improvement over this one.

Mastered! Not a great game but it was still fun. Had to have a map pulled up while I played haha. Thanks for the set Brian!

I heard there's a Japanese version of the game with a different art style and it got an English translation hack. Can somebody put that on.

Good game, definitely one of the better Iso-Platformers on the GBA. That being said, this game is very flawed and definitely isn't for everyone.

Playing thru (as mentioned above) really does make you appreciate Flame and Rhynocs far more though.
