Part 6

Learn about Spyro the Dragon's moves like charging, superjumping, and gliding, and navigate the game's saving system, start menu options, and world map.

This section covers essential gameplay mechanics and menu navigation for Spyro the Dragon. It details Spyro's moves, the saving and loading system, the start menu options, and an overview of the game's worlds.

Spyro's Moves:

• Charging: Defeat enemies by charging through them.
• Superjump: Jump off edges to perform a superjump that travels a great distance. This can be combined with gliding mid-air.
• Glide: Break into a glide mid-superjump.
• Supercharge Speed: The speed of supercharging depends on the steam color: normal steam provides normal speed, yellow steam provides normal supercharging speed, and red steam (achieved by charging off a second ramp) provides immense speed.
• Rolling: Hold R1 to roll right or L1 to roll left. This move is primarily for dodging but is considered minor and potentially detrimental.

Saving & Loading:

• The game features 80 dragons to free across all worlds.
• Freeing a dragon marks a checkpoint on their platform. Dying in a level will respawn Spyro at the last freed dragon's platform.
• Interacting with a dragon platform and staying on it allows access to a menu with options to 'Save', 'Replay Dragon', or 'Continue'.
• Saving records overall progress. Quitting and reloading will restore saved progress.
• When rebooting the game, select the desired file and choose 'Load' to continue.

Start Menu:

• Continue: Resumes the game from where it was paused.
