Year Of The Dragon


A very interesting level with ice magicians and wizards. The Marvelous Magnifico explains that they have stolen a bit of magic from the Sorceress and things have run a little amuck!! Ok... Time to clean things up.

Crystal Islands 1 The crystal flowers seem more omenous than they really are. Wait for them to blast the ground then jump and flame them in the air. The flying beavers with the acorns are treated the same. Once they throw an acorn, jump and flame them. You'll notice that Spyro can now just approach a gem vase and it breaks without Spyro doing anything (very cool). Fly to the 1st island, walk up the stairs and meet The Great Zamboni. He'll make you a temporary floating crystal staircase.

Crystal Islands 2 Climb the crystal staircase before the magic spell stops. Save with Zoe up top then jump right to the island with the 1st egg. Jump back to the 1st entrance and work back to Zoe again. The large crystal polar bears are no match for Spyro. When they stand up on their hind legs, flame them. Now jump to the next island to The Fantastic Frederico. He activates a whirlwind way in the back. You have to run like mad, then jump, just to make it in time before his spell stops.

Crystal Islands 3 You may want to take care of all the gems and polar bears and everything in the little lake by the whirlwind gazebo, before you leave to the next area. You can talk to Frederico whenever you want to activate the spell again, should you run out of time before you make it there. Once you ride the whirlwind to the next area, guess who's waiting.. Moneybags!! Thank God, it's the last time (hopefully). Pay the outrageous fee (cuz you know you're going to get it back eventually!!!)

Crystal Islands 4 Walk across the new bridge and save with Zoe again. The Astounding Arturo creates another crystal bridge for Spyro to cross the lake. Like before, you may want to clear out the lake first and get rid of the pesty flying squirrels. Don't forget the gems to the right on the ledge. Once you make it across, Magnificent Marvello hands you an egg and the exit portal. Off to the right is another set of islands with a key chest and Bentley's house. Behind is a superfly powerup.

Crystal Islands 5 Using the superfly powerup, fly all the way over to the far castle roof top. There's gems, another egg and the chest key. You'll also pass a bi-plane and a rhynoc. Knock him down and there's another egg. Once you've cleaned up everything, fly back to the exit portal. Around to the left is a magic whirlwind and the super super slide challenge. This one is pretty tough but you can do it as long as you don't oversteer. You may have to do this twice to pick up all the gems along the way.

Crystal Islands 6 As Bentley The Yeti, The Amazing Randini explains that the moles are getting worked up in a tizzy and Bentley is asked to play crowd control by gently "nudging" them on the head (Yeah OK!). You have to be careful not to hit the gnomes that also come out of the burrows from time to time. They are helping to contain the moles. If you do hit them by accident, you have to start over again. It's hard to get 20 in 1 minute, and it may take a few times to get the routine down.

There are 6 hatchling eggs to free in this level:

MANNIE = On the island in the middle of nowhere.
LLOYD = Given by The Magnificent Marvello at the end of the level.
GRACE = On the castle rooftop.
MAX = Reward for knocking down the bi-plane.
ELLOISE = Reward for making it all the way down the super slide.
HANK = As Bentley, bashing 20 moles in under 1 minute.
