Copeland's soundtrack is so great! I love the original music. Really nice video! :)

I would have probably all the top 5 best spots for spyro 1 levels. Maybe not really for the level design but rather the enviroment and music and the general feel of the level. Thats why Spyro 1 is my favorite game. The game is the most timeless and most rememberable out of all the trilogy, probably out of the whole spyro franchise, if only I wouldnt just play the spyro trilogy only.

I would argue the top 2 worst levels in the game are actually 'sub-levels'. Specifically Sheila's mission in Spyro 3 where you have to escort two mole guys so they can drop off some bombs and release the eggs trapped behind them. You have to stomp on mushrooms or kick stuff out of the way to make it so they can pass through just fine but like Fracture Hills they constantly fake you out and if you don't have a far enough lead on them they'll run into a mushroom before you can knock it down and if you're TOO fast the mushrooms will pop back up. And the second one would be Agent 9 in Firework Factory in Spyro 3 again. You have to use his First Person perspective to travel through a somewhat linear path of ninja's that hide behind doors, walls, and on the ceiling. There's no health (from what I remember until the end) and if you die you have to do it all over again. Your only saving grace is that once you make it to the egg at the end you get a save spot, but I'd argue that it's a double edge sword. Once you rescue the egg you need to go back AGAIN in reverse and kill even MORE ninjas the second time around and since you grabbed the egg you're now softlocked in that spot until you beat the mission or force quit the level. If you force quit the level you have to go back and do it all over again both phase 1 and 2 to get the second egg. Just a nightmarish level IMO. It was easier to no-hit PS2 Spike then do that level in Fireworks Factory.

How are you gonna talk about Mystic Marsh and NOT mention the awesome professor scavenger hunt mission??? Seriously the best orb mission in the game

Mine would be something like: 5) Tree Tops - finally someone who isn't tasteless xD this is a level we love to hate but once you grow up you see it really had the right to be that challenging and fun at the same time, also they made it so pretty in Reignited! 4) Lofty Castle - always loved this one, everyting about it is just so lovely 3) Charmed Ridge - the forbidden romance subplot in this is what made me start writing fanfiction when I was a kid, that's how invested I was in it lmao 2) Mystic Marsh - I hear every point you made, it may be the most fun level in the whole trilogy for me! The exploration level is insane, recovering the Professor's pencil is the best orb challenge in the game, it's so full of interesting life, there's Basil, the thieves, the ducks...you just want to run around and spend time in it 1) Dark Passage - the absolute prettiest one of them ALL, I'm in love with the magical pink crystal hue, with the light/dark theme, with how much you explore both horizontally and vertically, I always play it slowly because I don't want to leave it! Rest of the top 10 could include: Enchanted Towers, Misty Bog, Zephyr&Breeze Harbor (always loved that we get to play on both sides of the war lol) and Dark Hollow which looks absolutely INCREDIBLE in Reignited, the library theme was a stroke of genius Best skybox goes to Doctor Shemp hands down, because that eclipse is drop-dead GORGEOUS Agree with Lost Fleet and Robotica Farms being some of my least favourite ones!

I think for me the best level will remain Wizard Peak. Phenomenal level design and the very definition of what a Spyro level should be, really fun to explore all around. Your list is good too tho, I agree for most of the worst levels and your best levels are pretty solid too, really love Ice Cavern (and Tree Tops is one of my favorites casually, but not as much as someone who tries to speedrun).

I will always defend fracture hills no matter what. In my opinion the alchemist wasn't hard or annoying at all even as a kid.

In my personal opinion I believe that Fireworks Factory from the original and reignited trilogy is the best. I love the design and the music.

I beat spyro one and 2, the rip fight I was bored in, I don't know if it is me, but I am starting year of the dragon, I did the first shield level, the first home world, and the first level on the path and after hearing the worst list, it looks like spyro 3 isn't gonna be as good but still fun, also I disagree with number 1 on best, I don't know what I would pick, but that level kind of made me bored, that's my opinion tho

Treetops is awesome

Finally! I finally found a video where someone else didn't like lost fleet. Out of all 3 games it was my least favorite level I found it incredibly boring. Hated swimming through the acid, hated shooting those dang vultures for the achievement and I especially hated that cursed skateboard level!

Most of them are too short

How is mystic marsh better than tree tops..not even top 10 best level
