that made me laugh so hard for some reason, good job XD

everytime i heard this when i played i was like "he'll be waiting for lunchtime for a long time"

then you should be more than happy that there is a remake

I kick butt at Spyro 3's skate parks, just like my mom did.

over and over and over again. But what a wonderful game

It's on PSN

thank you GOD you have answered me

Make sure to check out Pac-Man World and Klonoa if you haven't already as well. They're quality platformers that still hold up today. Especially Klonoa. I'm pretty sure his game is on the PSN store.

Yeah it's on PSN for $5.99, I'm planning on getting a PlayStation card tonight so I can buy it. So happy it's available. I'm in tears :')

Micah Bettis Bro, same. I used to wish there could be a place full gems and even imagined how cool would orbs be if i could have one.

Probably would've been a hastle to carry all that stuff though 😂

I beat this game when i was 3 or 4. Funnest experience i ever had.

PurpleKT Or course, I also had other things to focus on in my childhood: Like the fact that the correct gradation of the adjective "funny" is either "funniest" or "more funny", depending on the sentence, and in this case it should be "most fun" experience ;)

I googled this. "Funnest" can be used as an actual adjective and i used it properly. Although i understand what you mean because people are still arguing today about it. At worst its an argot, not a grammatical error.

PurpleKT well, people use all kinds of wierd words now a days, and when some of which are used enough by a sufficient amount of people, they get written down in a dictionary. Don´t think this is the case with "funnest" though. "Most fun" or "funniest" are by far the most normal.

As far as I know, the flame thing and the jump thing are both just different techniques that are used on the original PSx versions of the game. (at least, that's what I've been able to figure out based on what I've seen and what I remember from playing the original game)

Richard, a Watterson It DID come out for Vita... on the EU store... NTSC version. I actually currently use PSTV whenever I play this game or Spyro 3.

jason adams Gateway to Glimmer is just the PAL title. Ripto's Rage is as much of an official release as it's PAL counterpart. The reason why they changed the name between regions escapes me, but it certainly isn't because this version was Beta. In fact, the PAL version got released only 3 days after the NTSC version (Nov. 5 vs 2, 1999).

Once on the trolley, you need to get 50 gears to get off without crashing into something and respawning all gears. That Fisher dude will give you the orb if and only if you have gathered all the gears before talking to him. With these 2 sets of condition, you can gather that you either need to get all the gears on foot, or none on foot and all on the trolley in order to get the orb. It's very specific, hence the potential confusion, but it isn't a problem to achieve if you are careful around the trolley.

A walking start is not required but helps a lot. You need to glide a little bit against the wall when doing the jump, otherwise it won't take you up on the portal. It's really hard to explain, but those tips are the ones I used to get it the first time. Then, all you need is to know what works for you and replicate it.

YES i got it! Thanks for the tips bro, very nice run by the way

I played this on an original PS1 NTSC disc, on the PS2 console.

I'm pretty sure back then it was only PS1/PS2, I doubt much has changed.

As a matter of fact, it is possible to play this game on PS3, as well as PSP, PSVita and PSTV ;) This was played on PS2, though. I'll most likely use PSTV for my future runs of this game.

How do u do charge flamed? I can't do this. :/

That's just something that was introduced in one of the Spyro games (not sure if this is the first one it was implemented in, as I never played the PS1 version of Spyro 1)

I am also a diehard spyro fan but after seeing those glitches( which i didnt know some) I judge myself cuz i dont feel like a diehard fan anymore :((

Abdülkadir Kotil I've gotten over my shame. Yo can, too.

can someone make a tutorial for these kind of tricks and how they work?

lantern26 It´s so long time since I played it, but I recall replaying the whole game a few years ago, being a little nostalgic and I think it was something like pressing the jump button (x) and then the square button twice really fast ;) I discovered this trick when youtube started becoming popular, so in my childhood I actually never knew about it either... kinda funny how a perspective can change on a simple game over the years. But one thing is sure, this was my absolute favorite game when I was little! :)

whatever it was the fireball thing was amazing

Exactly. That would be cheating and the run would not be valid.

Nitrofski I'm not sure what you're talking about there, but isn't it cheating when you jump up on the boundaries and clip through the terrain at the start of the first level? I don't know anything about speedruns but that seems like cheating to me.

Nitrofski Man, I played this game a hell of alot when I was younger.

@@AegisShroud Glitching/using the levels in this way is generally seen as different than cheating, as Glitching/using the levels in this way actually uses the level as it is designed and not introducing anything external into the game (cheat codes introduce things to the game that aren't supposed to be there, glitching and clipping doesn't introduce that - it uses the game as it was designed in order to exploit the game so it can be beaten a certain way). Having said that, I have seen a small group of people who believe that doing what was done in this video is cheating, due to the player not playing the game as it was intended - but that is a very small group. I can only speak for myself here when I say that I believe that this is not cheating, due to Nitrofski using what was implemented in the game, and cheat codes were not used in order to make things appear in the game when they weren't supposed to be there. I just see what was done in this video as exploiting the system, not necessarily cheating. The game was designed this way in order to save space on the original discs, and these work-arounds were programmed into the game - therefore, in my opinion, not cheating. But, I can see where some of the people who see this as cheating are coming from.

DrQuell11 This is an old run, back when you couldn't complete some levels 100% before getting the Headbash ability and before there was a way to get the Headbash ability early. The levels that you claim aren't fully completed are revisited later into the run to clear them before fighting Ripto.

Nitrofski aw ok sweet bro im loving the game play btw

DrQuell11 Thank you!

For as long as I can remember, speedrun never disallow the use of Glitches. Also, what is harder? Playing the game as it was intended to be played, or playing the game defying what was defined as possible? In my opinion, the latter is harder. Some glitches DO make the game easier: the double-Jump for instance, if the player only uses it for jumps that are normally possible anyway, but a lot of the jumps that are double-jump exclusive are actually harder to perform that normally possible jumps. I get your point, but nobody speedruns "Glitchless" categories seriously nowadays, because they are not as interresting to watch as a speedrun of a game that has been broken to bits.

If glitching isn't skill, what can't you do it?

Nitrofski That comment was pure Poetry...

Nitrofski Actually after reading this and watching it again I have to say you changed my mind. It does take a lot of skill to do some of those glitches. That's a very fair point that you made.

Glad I changed your mind :) Feel free to come by twitch.tv and watch some live attempts at this game ;) Some guys out there are really outstanding (More than I'll ever be for sure)

Indeed, yet there is a more recent run on my channel that is not 5 years old. And it's bad too. By the way, for its time, this was nearly world record. Oh, and everything I just mentioned here (and even the fact that I "messed up quite a lot" as you yourself stated) is either annotated on the video or in the description. ... ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
