No I think the sound might be birds.. or the waterfall... but I bet they had a good budget to make this game and so they wouldn't have made an audio mistake (ie. its gotta be deliberate.)

This is such a beautiful game! The graphics are amazing on all versions (though i dont realllly like the ds version.. just my opinion.)

The music is also the best! - particularly in Avalar

There is so much I must learn about hacks. O_o

#9290 xxXSpyroXxx 00:30:20 03/11/2011
Yeah but with hacks you can do pretty much anything like make Spyro giant and have Cynder's wings on him.

is that the same way you do it?

#9288 xxXSpyroXxx 20:38:20 02/11/2011
hacks are much better.... but yeah I know that glitch.

#9287 Snake Eyes 20:35:11 02/11/2011
i just found the awesomest glitch ever!
you go to the valley of avalar (no that doesnt mean it only happen there.)so you put in this cheat code (if you want to they are the wii version) hold Z at the pause screen and put ^>^<V or >>VV< or <^V^> (im not sure which one the infinite mana is) then when your trying to save the village go to a corner between a house and the rock wall and use the comet dash RIGHT when you turn around and youll be doing the infinite comet dash glitch.

Don't see how it's a joke, but okay, I'll ignore it.
