After collecting all of the lost dragonflies, Spyro fights and defeats Ripto, who retreats whence he came. Spyro recovers the dragonflies by capturing them in the environment with his bubble breath ability and completing tasks for NPCs. His intent is to capture all of the dragonflies, thus weakening the power of every dragon and thereby get his revenge upon Spyro, but his spell misfires, and the dragonflies become scattered throughout the Dragon Realms. The story continues from the events of Year of the Dragon with a rite of passage for the young dragons and the arrival of new young dragonfly guardians to assist them.ĭuring the event, Ripto, who was the antagonist of Ripto's Rage, enters via a magical portal with his henchmen and disrupts the celebration. These abilities are attained from the ancient dragon statue in the home world by collecting magical runes. Spyro is also able to learn a block technique which can be used to deflect ranged attacks back at enemies. New to the series is the introduction of multiple breath attacks, such as bubble breath, ice breath, and electric breath. Spyro is able to breathe fire, charge, glide, hover, and swim. The player controls Spyro the dragon, who is accompanied by his dragonfly partner Sparx. Xbox (console) and Windows versions were also planned during development, but both later got cancelled due to the mixed to negative reception of the game.

This was caused by creative disagreements with the publisher and time constraints to meet the holiday 2002 deadline.
