You can sort of fly as Dark Spyro. You jump up, press triangle without moving Spyro, and then continue pressing triangle while steering Spyro in the direction you want to go.

I have a question for all of you. Who would you rather be: Spyro or Cynder? I would be Cynder because one I want to try out her new moves and two I don't know how she's going to do Shadow. To me it just seems IMPOSSIBLE!!! And guys, did you think my prayer was weird?


I would be Cynder because:

1# she is my fav character
2# because I would like to play someone difrent for once
3# Because I alreaty know what Spyro's breaths are like so I would like to breath something difrent for a change.
4# The breaths sounds cool!
