3.STORY

==================================================================

Every twelve years,the Dragon kingdom celebrates its most important
event:the "Year of the Dragon" festival. Fairies deliver a new batch
of dragon eggs and dragons come from all around to dance and feast
until everyone drops from...eggshaustion,

The Year of the Dragon is upon us again and the fairies have brought
150 eggs to the Dragon worlds. However unbeknownst to the celebrating
dragons,a sinister plot is about to unfold...

Far away-on the opposite side of the world-lies a kingdom long since
forgotten ,in fact,that even the legends about these forgotten worlds
have now been forgotten.

The kingdom is ruled by a mean and spiteful sorceress who has frankly
become fed up with being forgotten. As she sits on her forgotten throne
the sorceress has hatched a fiendishly evil plan, A plan to restore the
fading magic to her forgotten realm,a plan to conquer the dragons once and
for all. All she needs is a little help from her army of horn-nosed "rynoks"
the cooperation of her mysterious discible Bianca and of course,those 150
magical dragon eggs.



=======================================================================

4.ITEMS

=======================================================================

Gems:gems are the money in Spyro's universe,and they are truly everywhere,
but since he is to lazy to go get them for himself,Moneybags will sell
you certain things for a "small price" as he says. There are literally
thousands of gems lying around,through out the worlds so don't forget
to pick them up.

Dragon Eggs:These are the most important items to get in this game.
and since there are not as many Dragon eggs as there are Gems,they 
are a lot harder to get your claws on.

Special Tasks: Special tasks can be found throughout all of the 
worlds in Spyro:YOD here is a list of some you will find.

Challenges: Spyro and his friends most learn a variety of special
skills to accomplish these tasks. Hunter or another character will
usually teach you the ability inside the challenge. If you win challenges
you will receive Dragon Eggs.

Speedways: Thee is one Speedway realm in each home world.  In all there 
are three types of Speedways which are listed below.

Time trials: Speed through the course while getting items in the time
aloud.

Race: Race through one of the complicated obstacle courses,making sure
not to fly off course.

Hunter's Task: Hunter must face a unique challenge in a speedway.

Sparx Rounds: Sparx finally gets an important part in the world
of Spyro. In this game he gets to battle while collecting butterflies
and searching for eggs.

For beating each Sparx course he aquires a new ability heres a list
of 'em.

*Beat Craw dad farm:Extended range and speed

*Beat Spider town:Sparx points to the nearest treasure,if you press
L1 L2 R1 and R2 simultaneously.

*Beat Starfish reef: Sparx gets an extra hit point

*Beat Bugbot Farm:Sparx can break open treasure vases and warp directly 
to any level in the game.

===========================================================================

7.WALKTHROUGH

==========================================================================
**************************************************************************
                   SUNRISE SPRING WORLDS
**************************************************************************

Head bash the rock:Find the only rock in this level. Then use the
Head bash move

Swim underwater: In the middle of this level is a large deep lake.
use the square button to swim all the way to the bottom and you
will see the dragon egg in plain sight.

Fly through the cave:In the cave with the fly power up fly all the
way to the other side and on the ledge is the egg.

Egg by the stream: by the stream in plain sight.



--------------------------------------------------------------------------
                         SUNNY VILLA
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Save the mayor:To save the mayor of this stage just get through the
level. That's it. Why are you still reading this. Go away.

lizard skating 1:IN the skate park near the end of Sunny villa is a challenge
for you. You have to hit each of the lizards,throughout the course. On the
one near the wide orange ramp you have to flame it in midair. The rest are 
very easy to get.

Lizard skating 2:This time you have to get all of the lizards in 3 minutes
without bailing once! It takes practice but That's the only thing that will
help you.

NOTE: After you beat Lizard skating 2,you can try to break the track
record which is 3,200. The way I beat it was I went up on the high orange
ramp and did a triple twisted lemon,then I went on the lower ramps and
kept doing right and left spin flips. If you do beat the record you will
receive your first skill point.

Egg by the building:next to the big tower near the end of the level are
small little platforms on the tower's walls. On the platform next to a
frog is a dragon egg.

Glide to the spring:  on the same big tower glide to the white pillars
in the distance. Now glide into the plateau with a stream running through
it. next to the stream is the egg.

Hop to repunzel: Go on the big tower and fly to your left to a small
cave. Now inside you will get Sheilas help. Then its just climbing
up the tower,that is between you and the egg.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                  Sheila's Alp
------------------------------------------------------------------------

all three dragon eggs: Not to far inot the level you should find 3
mountain goats. To get the egg you must help each of the mountain
goats get home. To do this you have to get rid of each of the monsters
so its safe to pass through. Then visit each of their houses to get the
eggs.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
                     Cloud Spires
------------------------------------------------------------------------

Turn on the cloud generator:Just get to the end of the level.

Run along the wall:At about halfway through the level is the egg
which is guarded by a flying creature.

Plant the sun seeds: At the very end of the level is another portal.
Go inside and talk to the freaky creature inside,now get each of the
sun seeds to the cauldron by flaming them every few steps.

Bell tower spirits:At the end of the large level is a giant whirlwind,
that brings you to a secret area,so ride it and help the creature 
destroy the ghosts by using the fly power up.

Bell tower thief:In this same area as the last dragon egg is a thief
with the next egg. Use your ram attack to keep up and take all of the 
shortcuts.

Fly to the island:Find and use each of the whirlwinds in the level 
to get some major air.Then use the pathway and climb all the way
to to the very top. When you reach the top look for an island with
and egg and go get it.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
                    Molten Crater
----------------------------------------------------------------------

get to tiki lodge:Just get to the end.

Egg by lava river:pretty easy to find,Its by one of the lava rivers in
a subsection near the end.

The two egg thieves:At the end of the level take the bridge to a platform
then fly to your right and talk to money bags,pay him a "small fee" and he
will let you inside the thieve's hideout. Now catch 'em

----------------------------------------------------------------------
                     SeaShell  Shore
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Free the seals:Just make it to the end and save the guy with a octopus on
his head.

Under the Docks:under the bridge ,in the water. Its in plain sight after
you dive in.

Clear out the pipe:In one of the pipes in the second waterway,inside the
warp go through the wind tunnel. You also have to hit each and every 
Rhynoc in the tunnel while going extremely fast through a very long 
twisting tunnel. GOOD LUCK!

Defeat the shark sub:In the same waterway except now you have to take a
different route. Swim to the very top of the waterway and go through the
passage. Now help the creatures destroy the sub. To defeat it pick up
as many boxes as possible for some ammo and then when its open for attack,
take your best shot.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
                      Mushroom Speedway
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Time trial:This is very easy considering the first two Spyro's 
Speedways were so damn hard. To beat it just collect every item
in order,to make it easier.

Race the Butterflies:Use the little boosters and cut every corner
possible.

Help Hunter:You can find Hunter behind a mushroom in the outskirts of the
level. Now to beat the sheep you will need both skill and hand eye 
coordination. Wait until the one of the lambs shoot at you then speed
up and shoot it before the lamb gets another shot in,its harder then it
sounds.

Now head on over to the balloon to continue to the next world. But,
first you have to beat a boss.

**********************************************************************
                   Boss fight-Buzz
**********************************************************************

Run up to him and ram him in the head,and he will fly back a few feet.
Do it a couple more times so he lands in the magma. After Sheila gives
him the ol' stomp on the head maneuver he will lose some health and 
start the same pattern again. Then after three hits to the cranium he
will get mad and start using a new attack where he makes a shield of
fire,when he uses it DO NOT jump on him unless you want to lose health.
Just wait for it to disappear and repeat the process again.

After the fight you will head to the second world.

======================================================================
                       Midday Gardens
======================================================================

underwater egg-under the bridge in one of the first areas of the level,
its surrounded by many jewels and bottles.

secret icecave-to the left of the entrance to Icy peaks is a tunnel 
leading this egg.

Superflame the flowerpots-when you explore this level a bit you should
find a guy who asks you to flame the flowerpots,use the powerup and 
do what he says and in the flowerpot to the northeast of this powerup 
is where the egg lays.

Climb to the ledge-to the left and around the corner from the same powerup
you just used is a ladder. Sink your claws into the ladder and climb up to
find the small colored egg surrounded by many jewels.

---------------------------------------------------------------------
                         Icy Peaks
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Find Doug the Polarbear-just get to the end and talk to the polarbear
in front of the ski lift.

On top of the ledge-After you go through the tunnel with the green
dirt,turnaround at the corner and climb the stairs.

Protect Nancy the Skater-In the area after the one I just talked about
is a couple things covered with ice,use the cannon just lying around to
blow through the ice. Now in one of the tunnels you opened is Moneybags
just waiting for you to pay him. Do so and go inside the colorful warp
he opened and you will finally meet up with Nancy the skater. she needs
your help to save her from the evil hockey players. So flame them as they
appear and after the audience throws her the roses she will give you an 
egg.

Speedy Thieves 1-Head to the area where doug the polarbear resides,
you will find some different paths to take.take the right path this 
time and head down the snowy white stairs along the mountain,and at 
the end is another warp for you to use. Once inside,charge along the 
speed path and you will begin to accelerate extremely fast. follow the
paths around and you will soon meet up with the first thief. Chase him
down,while cutting corners along the way and you will soon catch uo and
recieve the first egg.

Speedy Thieves 2-Now for the second egg.After you chase down the other
thief a second one will appear straight ahead of you on the tracks. This
one will be a little harder to catch,because he is overall a much better
escapee. Chase him down using pretty much the same tactics only this time
you will need to actually use some skill. So err on to the next egg...

Glide to the sky island-Go back to the same area you were in a few minutes
ago,you know the one with Doug the polarbear. But this time instead of going
right we will take the left path. ignore the cannon and fly to the platform
straight ahead. Keep going forward and fly to the whirlwind that you should
have broken out of the ice earlier and it will fly you over to the island that
contains some jewels and of course the egg.

Also on this level some people find it hard to get the jewels under the ice.
So Im here to save the day for you with the strategy.

First go to the same area that you've been to already several times in the
level. Its where the polarbear named Doug lives. Once there turn left and
go down the pathway,ignore the cannon and fly across to the platform straight
ahead. Now look to your left using triangle and you should see the ice with
the jewels you so despritly need. You should also see a crack in the ice 
which we will use to our own advantage. Fly to the crack and tap triangle
twice and you will break through the ice! Now its just swimming through and
collecting the eggs.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      Enchanted Towers
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Destroy the Sorceress Statue-Make your way through this strange level while
collecting jewels along the way. Follow the main path through the entire
level and you will find the Statue at the end. Now lets do the destroying
part. Several missiles surround the statue(and so do a ton of enemies).
Go to each of the missiles and flame the fuse on the back of each one.
Now the critter there will give you the egg you need.

Trick Skater 1-After you use the sorceress statue as a missile testing
sight,the base will have a gigantic hole carved into it. Go inside the
gapping pit and into the colorful warp inside. Look around and you will
see Hunter as well as his rad new skatepark. Here we go again :) Talk to
him and he will teach you a series of moves,perform each of the moves as
he teaches them and the egg is yours.

Trick Skater 2-Man this is near impossible. You have to beat Hunter in
a one on one competition. It may not seem very hard but once he gets 
going he can get some killer points. Fortunately there are a few tricks
to beating him. On the big blue ramp keep doing a left or right turn and
you will do a new trick called either crush or gulp(depending on what side 
you do it on) this cool trick will get you one thousand points. Do both a
crush and a gulp then turn around and head into a secret pathway that takes 
you above the halfpipe. jump over that and you will get 1000 points! keep 
doing these tricks as well as flips and rolls to totally beat him.

Glide to the Small island-You know that critter that gave you the egg
for destroying the statue right. Well go behind it and up the whirlwind.
Now glide to the bridge on the other side of the wall. Keep going along
the pathway and after awhile you will find the island to your left with
the egg right on the top. Isn't he cute.

Rescue the lost dog- Use the same whirlwind you just used except this time
go forward to reach another section of this large level. YAY! go inside the
warp up ahead and talk to the strange guy inside. He says he lost his wolf
down the hole,and we need to save a lost wolf to get the egg,so go down 
already. Now you have to get the dog through the long tunnels up ahead. 
To do this you must solve some easy switch puzzles that are so easy I would
be wasting my time telling you how to solve them. When you reach the end
of the section the owner will give you the egg.

Collect the bones- NOTE: to do this you must have Sgt. Byrd. Now with SGT.
Byrd you must fly to each of the towers and get the bones from each one.
Once you have all eight return to the man and you will recieve your prize.
Oh and you can get Sgt Byrd in the second Home world.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
                      SGT. Byrd's Base
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Clear the building-Once you save Sgt. Byrd from moneybags for the small fee
you will be able to enter his homeworld which is under attack. To save the
base rid each of the sections of Rynoks. Once you reach a certain point the
blue bird will give you the egg.

Clear the Caves- Now its time to clear the second half of the level. 
Use Sgt. Byrds BAM(byrd to air missle) launchers on the Rynoks for easy
kills oh and lift the weights and objects by using the square button.
Once at the end the Blue bird will give you another of his eggs.

Rescue 5 hummingbirds- You will find 5 hummingbirds scattered throughout 
the level in cages. Its your job to save each and everyone of the feathery
critters from there gold cages. To open a cage all you have to do is go
infront of it,Sgt. Byrd will do the rest.
