NO SPOILERS! Hey, hey, hey! We're two boys from Norway and are writing a FAQ for this game. I am twelve years old, Lazer is fourteen. We love all of the Spyro games, and are happy to get this game on GameBoy Advance. This Spyro-game is, like I said before, very good. You might experience hard controls and stuff like that, but once mastered, this becomes the best game on your beloved GBA! Hunter and Sparx is back -- better than ever! So run down to your local gameshop, and buy this gem of a game! Table o' contest! ***************** 1: Review 2: FAQ 3: Walkthrough 4: Codes 5: End Version History *************** V. 1.00: 26. February 2002: First release date. Got this game! Well... Actually, it's my sis' game, so I don't get to play it too much. I'm gonna start the walkthrough VERY soon! Game Overview ************* Spyro flies from Playstation format to handheld! The little (and gentle) dragon named Spyro is a well-known mascot for anyone who plays Playstation, and now he has found the way to the GBA! The game developers have made some really nice 3D graphics on this machine! Spyro must get out and rescue some fairies that have been frozen to ice. To rescue 'em all, he need to visit twenty unique levels. By the way he'll get power ups and upgrades. The game has many tasks that must be solved and the level won't be finished before you solve them all! So start headbutting, get out there and clear this game! Whoopie!

He's the hero of this game! Sparx ^^^^^ Spyro's fellow follower, he's Spyro's health. Some places he gets his own levels. Hunter ^^^^^^ Besides Sparx, Hunter is Spyro's constant companion and personal trainer, though his new romance with Bianca has made him later than ever. Hunter is always around for some on-the-job training if Spyro needs it. Zoe ^^^ An Autumn Fairy, Zoe has always been there to save Spyro's Adventures. Now she needs Spyro's help to save her and the other fairies. Grendor ^^^^^^^ The former Forgotten Realms librarian has gone mad with the pain in his two heads. Though he's heard accounts of Spyro's prowess from his Rhynoc minions, no over-hyped purple dragon is going to stop him. Bianca ^^^^^^ The former disciple of the Sorceress, Bianca is now part of Spyro's gang. Her knowledge of spells will help Spyro in his adventure. Moneybags ^^^^^^^^^ A self-made bear and entrepreneur, this penny-pinching ursus arctos has made his fortune on being at the right place at the right time, namely in Spyro's way. For a "reasonable" fee, Moneybags might help you on your adventure. Story ***** The Season of Ice After the defeat of the Sorceress, many of her old Rhynoc minions were left out of work or had to take less-than-ideal day jobs. None more so than Grendor, the Rhynoc librarian at the Grand Central Dragon Realms library. A small, meek figure, Grendor never made the cut into the Rhynoc army and desperately longed for a career change. One day, Bianca spent a few hours in the library researching ideal vacation spots for a trip she was planning for Spyro, Hunter, and herself. With all the travel books, Bianca mistakenly left the Sorceress' Spell book behind. Finding the book, Grendor was inspired by an ingenious plan. Flipping through the pages, he found himself a transformation spell to change his meagre frame into a towering mass of muscle and brainpower! Wasting no more time, he read the spell aloud; too hasty even to notice the book was turned upside down. Grendor wound up with bulk and brainpower all right, but in the form of two heads, and a migraine in both of his thick skulls. Frantically, Grendor searched for some way out of his terrible predicament, finding only one antidote listed in the appendix, the wings of 100 magical fairies. Grendor captures Zoe and casts a magical spell, freezing the fairies in place throughout all the Fairy Realms. Using her last bit of magic, Zoe the fairy sends a frantic message to the only one who can help them... Life **** Yeah... The big thing in this game is -of course- not to die. The guy who helps you with that is Sparx, the dragonfly. The life you have left is ranged by different colors: Yellow: 100% Yeeeha! Blue: 75% Getting Shaky Green: 50% Houston, we got a problem! None: 25% We're going down!! 1 hit: 0% Aggh!! Replenishing ^^^^^^^^^^^^ You can keep Sparx nourished with a healthy diet of butterflies. They're coming from native animals. Some places you can even find a butterfly inside a glass. That gives you 1up. Saving the Fairies ****************** The fairies were frozen wherever they were - right on the spot, so they are scattered throughout the Fairy Realms. Spyro must find all the frozen crystal encasing the fairies and melt them with his fire breath. Home Worlds, Realms and Portals ******************************* Spyro begins his quest in the Seasonal Home World of the Fairy Realms. From here, Spyro will be able to access the other worlds in the realms through Portals. Some areas will only open after a certain number of Fairies have been rescued. Portals ^^^^^^^ Entering a portal will transport Spyro to a world where he will meet creatures troubled, bothered and annoyed by the invading Rhynocs. Helping these creatures will make an exit Portal appear, allowing Spyro to return to the Home World. To enter a portal, just walk or fly* into it. Spyro will instantly transport to another realm. *fly: You can fly _low_ into it, but not _high_ Gems ^^^^ And then there are always gems to collect. You'll want to other as many gems as you can carry. Sometimes they are hidden in baskets or vases or a variety of different containers. Charge into or flame those containers to obtain the gems. Moneybags seems to be everywhere these days and his rates are always going up. Collect all the gems you can to afford his special services. To see how many gems you have, press the START button. Your gem count displays at the top of the screen. To see how many gems there are in the realm, open the Pause screen (press START button) and look at the Atlas. Near the Gem Icon, you'll see the number of gems collected and the total number of gems in that realm. The different gems is... O Red: 1 gem O Green: 2 gems O Purple: 5 gems O Yellow: 10 gems Speedways ^^^^^^^^^ Speedway Realms can be found in the Seasonal Home Worlds, Spyro must speed through the course collecting gems, knocking down enemies, and dodging the obstacles within the given time limit. Once he makes it through the Speedway the first time, a second, harder trial is opened up. Are you up for the challenge? Sparx Rounds ^^^^^^^^^^^^ Sparx has always helped Spyro along the way, but some of the fairies are hidden so well that even Spyro might not be able to get them. Here Sparx must venture out on his own in order to save the fairies. In these levels, Sparx must battle his way through a vast array of insects and collect keys to progress through the maze of bushes.

Let's see... This is the fourth Spyro-game ever! And it is the first time it is on a Nintendo-machine! It has some very interesting, big levels, one hundred fairies to collect and 7000 gems (treasures)! Let's see at some points... GRAPHICS: 10/10 Practically, I don't think the graphics on a GBA could be better than this! Spyro is gorgeous animated from skull to tail, Sparx haven't seen better and everything else is almost as good as it was on PSX back in those days! The first place you visit, autumn world, is so fantastic that you lose your breath sometimes! Rivers, trees, hills... It's all fantastic! SOUND: 8/10 The sound is good, but not fantastic. You may recognize some melodies from the past series, and some brand new! The cartoonish melodies fit perfect into this game! STORY: 7/10 I'm not saying it isn't good, but if this is the first time you play a Spyro-game, you don't understand a ****! For the story it self, look a bit up, in the intro section. GAMEPLAY: 8/10 Yeah, yeah... This game would get a ten on this, but the control is a bit tricky. You're falling down on those ****** gaps all the time!!! If you look away from that, this is the best game on the GBA right now. The AI isn't so good either, as the enemies _run_ away from you when they see you... BUY OR RENT: BUY This game is so massive, that you can never be finished with it within that period of time. Think about it... 7000 treasures! OVERALL: 8/10 A really good game technically, but is drawn down by some minor faults -- who never should be there! If you manage to live with these flaws, this is a real gem. +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | W A L K T H R O U G H | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Hm... First of all, I'd like to warn you people from using this walkthrough. It contains MASSIVE spoilers, that is things that spoil the fun for you, because I tell what's going to happen now and then. The second thing is that my sister has played a bit, and I couldn't catch up with her on this guide. But yesterday I could play this game a bit, and I made something for Honey March! Honey March ``````````` Basic overview: ooo... Hard level this is. It is made up by many big and small platforms. The theme here's honey, bees and beehives. The enemies, big bees who send small bees on you, is maybe the most irritating of all. Here you'll meet the professor BTW. Fairy #1: Melt the 8 honey-flowers ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Start by jumping over to the other island in front of you. There you'll find the professor. While he's babbling, jump up on the little hill and breathe fire on the gorgeous flower at the top. Now go back to the start, but this time jump to the right. Kill the bee quickly, and go up while you're following the honey-river. There you'll find another flower. Continue up to meet the professor again, this time babbling about some time-machine. Ignore him and continue up to find the third flower. Jump to the left from where you got the third flower to land on another island. Burn the flower to sweet honey! =) Turn hard to the right (and a bit up) of #4, and you'll eventually reach another flower. Then jump to the right. Collect the key and go down. Continue, then head left up the little hill. Now head straight to the right and jump over to the another island. There's another flower! To get the last, jump down an island, the to the right. There's the last flower! Whohoo!!! Fairy #2: Chu Chu ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ On the island left of the start is a cliff. Jump up there and melt the second fairy on this level, Chu Chu. ************* *More Coming* ************* +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | C O D E S | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+ All codes must be entered in the "press start"-screen. 99 lives in new game -------------------- Left, right, right, right, down, up, right, up and A.
