Spyro decided to take a holiday to Dragon Shores. He invited his best friend Sparx to join him and together the duo soared through a magic gateway, off for a well-earned vacation. They were going to rest up from their victory over Gnasty Gnorc in their first adventure. But fate was about to throw a wrench in their travel plans.
Far away, the bitter and twisted Ripto, a dinosaur-riding troublemaker, along with his henchmen Crush and Gulp, had taken control of the beautiful land of Avalar. Ripto was a classic example of the "Napoleon Complex" - a little guy who felt he must take on the world - frustrated, short tempered and spiteful. Having stolen a magic sceptre, he was using his new-found power to pick on everyone and generally spoil the peace and quiet of Avalar. He was making life miserable with his magical spells...

Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer
Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer, or as it's also known, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, was the second Spyro game to appear. And as with Spyro the Dragon, this was a PlayStation exclusive.
This second game in the original trilogy, takes Spyro from his home in the Dragon Realms, to a distant unknown land of Avalar. Here Spyro meets plenty of new friends as well as some enemies too. He also learns some brand new moves to boot.

The Story
Here's the official word on the story from the SpyrotheDragon.com website:
The Controls
All controls are the same whatever level you are in, and here they all are:
| X | Jump. Press again when in the air to glide. |
| Square | Charge |
| Circle | Flame |
| Triangle | Look around in front of you/Stop glide (when gliding) |
| R1/L1 | Spin camera Right/Left |
| R2/L2 | Spin camera right/left |
| START | Access the pause menu |
| SELECT | View Gems, Lives, Kills and Collection |
| D-Pad/Left Analog Stick | Move around |
| L1+L2+R1+R2 | Sparx will point at the closest gem |
| X then Triangle | Peform Headbash (Only works if you've bought the skill) |
The gems have changed a little from the previous game. They are now more shaped then before and one has been changed colour completely.
| Gem Colour | Gem Value |
| Red | 1 |
| Green | 2 |
| Purple | 5 |
| Yellow | 10 |
| Pink | 25 |
They also now come in different containers. Flamable Baskets, Chargeable Vases, Exploding Vases, Unbreakable Chests, Headbash Chests and just lying about on the floor. You will no longer get gems from killing things as they will only release Spirit Particles now.
Gameplay Basics
Here are a few things that you should know before playing this game:
- You are in a different world than in Spyro the Dragon, and as such, all the creatures you will meet are new
- When you kill something, no longer will it spew a gem, it will release a spirit particle. This life force can activate a powerup when you reach a certain number of kills in that level
- No more Dragon freeing, here you collect Talismans and Orbs
- All butterflies will now be eaten by Sparx, whether or not he's hungry
- There is now a special blue butterfly which both fully heals Sparx and gives Spyro an extra life
- You will be set many challenges in the game to earn the Orbs
- Due to this, the citizens of Avalar are a lot more talkative then anyone in the Dragon Realms
Now it's time to get started with the game:

Comments
whut?
Instead, in my opinion, in this great game the only boss (but also asshole among other things) that would be what I like most is that it is Ripto a dwarf of **** (even one hundred percent asshole) that made them all wrongdoings he... anyway although I like most I kinda hate it because when I beat him at the last level I can never beat him but eventually I and there I win!!
This game has my favorite bosses in the series. 
@spyrothe111 When I used to play this great game and I was in Port in Autumn Plains Breeze and was wrong the way I had to do to me I said "problems with the truck huh?" and then I had to redo the path but I was wrong a few times and eventually ended.
"Trouble with the Trolley, eh?"
I beat this challenge again today!
I beat this challenge again today!
@Jaggedstar but I at least I gave you some advice then if you want to do as you think though if at least this grand game plays well and with vigor is better and you have fun as well understood?
@SirFortesque
You make no sense..
You make no sense..
I love this game
@Jaggedstar but excuse why this great game you want to play it so bad? because if the games so much fun to play then it makes no sense if the games well and you want to play it with vigor then enjoy yourself at that point... However it is because there is a lot of people who comment then it means that there is a lot of people who love this wonderful game!
I want to play this game sooooo badddddddly. It's nice seeing people still comment here
@Spyrocouture01 well certainly is a legendary game think that I ended up four times and know by heart but now I really enjoy the same
This game is most certainly my favorite, and it is probably the best to just mess around in as well.
In the land of Avalar, residents Elora, Hunter, and the Professor have been working on their latest and largest portal. During a test, Hunter persuades the Professor to enter his birthdate, 22475 (which could mean February 24, 1975 or April 22, 1975) as the portal's target coordinates, inadvertently activating it and allowing a small sorcerer named Ripto into the realm, along with his two dinosaurs, Crush and Gulp. Sensing that the world he has landed in is free of Dragons, Ripto declares that he is going to "move in" and take over. He instructs Crush to go back and pack his things. However, Elora is able to deactivate the portal by instructing fairies to remove the orbs powering the portal and scatter them throughout the realms of Avalar. As Ripto begins to terrorize Avalar, Elora and the Professor plan to "catch" a Dragon in order to drive Ripto off. Just the story...
Listening to the Scorch and Shady Oasis soundtracks. Nostalgia~
the only Spyro game which I do not
