Being unable to fully complete the level maps used to drive me nuts as a kid, always wondered what was in those little sections that were impossible to fill. It's interesting to hear that they were just mistakes and leftovers from the beta
This makes me think about how in the game I used to just goof around after beating it. But also, my biggest thing I hated was that after beating Ineptune, we can swim in the water, but then when we leave we can never go back. I mean I get that there's nothing of value left in that area, but I just liked how deep the water was.
I love this channel, I'm so glad someone is finally covering all the content behind games like this. When I joined youtube around 10 years ago I only remember a handful of clips of this type of stuff, but now I have found a whole channel dedicated to it. You're doing this forgotten game a favor, and I don't know if you hear this often, but this stuff really makes me happy and I'm sure many others. All games deserve to be remembered and recorded.
A lot of the cut or forgotten stuff in this game just shows this game was most likely planned to even just a little bit bigger than what the final had. Either way, I still like the game the way it is. I grew up on this Spyro game and like it.
I seem to recall from a young age that Ice Citadel's map is scaled wrong, so your pointer is very often in a different place to what's shown. Also, your pointer shows up on Cloudy Domain's map when you're in Coastal Remains and vice versa. Crocovile Swamp also has a large area in the bottom left that you can technically explore but it's just swamp water.
1) those particle effects are neat! fairly simple, but they definitely add life to that loading screen. 2) Spyro-textured Red and Ember are terrifying. 3) dude, your voice is so relaxing
While not comparing to the original Trilogy, A Hero's Tail and Enter the Dragon are still interesting to me for stuff like this. Great observations and finds.
I don't know if I shared this sentiment on your channel before, but I really wish they'd fleshed out Ember and Flame more when you unlock and get to play as them. It's a Spyro "reskin," yeah, but I wish it had a bit more substance, like a few new voice lines, or putting Spyro in their usual spot while you're playing as them. I'm not asking for a whole new storyline, I'm just asking for them to be put in Spyro's shoes. I think it'd have added a lot more replayability
I’m surprised this game has any mistakes considering this game fixed so many things from enter the dragonfly despite being non canon to the original 3 games
As someone who loved to "complete" maps, this game always drove me nuts cause I couldn't figure out how to get to some areas. Glad to see they were just cut areas lol.
tbh a lot of these such as colliding with the lava and stuff it can happen in even levels such as dragon village if you fall below the bridge and spyro will be falling eternally. it all depends on how old or glitchy ur disc happened to be.
Great video! I have a question... Outside and opposite the cave entrance where you meet Hunter in Frostbite village, have you ever noticed a target high up on the wall in the distance? Is that supposed to be there or do you know how to get to it?!
Most of this stuff isn't very noticeable and is thus interesting to find out about. I wish modern AAA releases were this relatively stable and finished lol.
In the GameCube version I played, when you open the boss door, you get a cutscene where the sky loses its dark, foreboding purple color. If you leave the realm and come back, the sky will go back to being purple again, and will stay purple forevermore. But oddly enough, if you jump at all, the sky will flicker back to normal at the height of your jump and return to purple when you land. Doesn’t seem to be this way in the PS2 version from what I see in UA-cam videos.
That's a bug exclusive to the GameCube version. If you enter first-person you'll see that it actually depends on the angle of the camera, not whether you're jumping.
About the teleport particles, it works too on moneybags. Also, sometimes the moneybags store song keep playing after you teleport and keep playing. With me it keep playing even i changed areas on GameCube version.
If none of you have noticed, in the teleporting transition if you look at a corner (top ones are more obvious) you can see black gaps like an image is just spinning around to look like spyro is going through a tunnel. (I can't stop looking at it once I found that out)
@@EbbeAHT That’s cool to know… Another thing I remember in the final release is that spyro’s mouth moves for some reason during the post gnasty gnorc cutscene when the professor talks about the portal working again
There's another typo pretty early on. Trina tells Spyro about how Fireworks can break open Strong Chests, with "Strong Chests" containing an extra space.
Honestly I know this game is mid but i love it and i'm tired of pretending I don't. love watching interesting content on a game I'm super nostalgic for!!!
In dragonfly falls there’s a spot near a cliff I can’t remember exactly where that Spyro just falls through and you just endlessly fall like in the magma level you have to restart the game to fix this glitch
@@krystalwilliams841 Yup, the hole next to Hunter's location. It's only there on the NTSC version, and it's one of the easiest ways to do the swim in air glitch.

kinda funny how Ember seems to be more closely rigged to Spyro than Flame, who at first glance looks like a palette swap lol
Ember with Spyro's textures kind of looks like Legend of Spyro's Spyro from the back.

Flame and Ember with Spyro’s textures look *cursed.*
Ember isn't looking too bad imo, but Flame is derp incarnate
1) those particle effects are neat! fairly simple, but they definitely add life to that loading screen.
2) Spyro-textured Red and Ember are terrifying.
3) dude, your voice is so relaxing
I think Ember looked fairly normal even with Spyro's textures.
Flame, on the other hand? Well, you might have a point there.
4:58 lol, Spyro became Spyra
5:34 ye, I remember one time Hunter turned his head too far behind
Spyro-skin Ember is not real and cannot hurt you
purple ember sure looks like legend of's spyro design

They were actually briefly considering this with Ember, but it was decided it was too much work to implement.
@@EbbeAHT That's interesting... good to know
Love how you manage to find most of these love the dedication here and types of Weird looking things.
Think I'm gonna have to replay AHT now and see how many of these oddities I can find. I certainly remember finding a handful of them. Great video 🙂
I’m surprised this game has any mistakes considering this game fixed so many things from enter the dragonfly despite being non canon to the original 3 games
Awesome video! I’m always interested in this type of stuff!
As someone who loved to "complete" maps, this game always drove me nuts cause I couldn't figure out how to get to some areas. Glad to see they were just cut areas lol.
0:41 also the sounds are unchanged

I like your videos, AHT is my childhood
Great video! I have a question...
Outside and opposite the cave entrance where you meet Hunter in Frostbite village, have you ever noticed a target high up on the wall in the distance? Is that supposed to be there or do you know how to get to it?!
Thanks!
That target is used in the cutscene where Hunter sets out to rescue Spyro.

This channel is basically Nomad Colossus for Spyro AHT and I love it!
loving your videos dude

0:52 flame has some gnarly looking toes 😂
Flame go squish
interesting finds. also the flex at the end
You'd think Spyro's breathing fire animation would look normal on Flame, given how they're pretty much the same shape.
Its the mouth thats makes it so.
A channel dedicated only to Spyro Heroes Tails? Woah
If none of you have noticed, in the teleporting transition if you look at a corner (top ones are more obvious) you can see black gaps like an image is just spinning around to look like spyro is going through a tunnel. (I can't stop looking at it once I found that out)
It's actually a 3D cone spinning around in front of Spyro. It's much easier to see the edges in widescreen footage.

Ah, interesting. Thanks!
4:48 & 5:01
When you buy a Amiibo off of Wish. Com
I wish there was a perma-swim glitch in the icy wilderness realm because I really want to just get the Flame eggs without dealing with light gems 😭
Nerdy spyro channel?
I think about subscribtion for sure:)...no doubts about itXD
Honestly I know this game is mid but i love it and i'm tired of pretending I don't. love watching interesting content on a game I'm super nostalgic for!!!
Name it Facts and Glitches and also the number of hours you have spent playing the game.
some of this bugs i saw by playing :)
Theres things id like to discuss but to type here is much
