Far away - on the opposite side of the world - was a kingdom long since forgotten by dragonkind. So forgotten, in fact, that even the legends about these "Forgotten Worlds" have now been forgotten.
A mean and spiteful Sorceress, who had frankly become quite fed up with being forgotten, ruled this kingdom. As she sat on her forgotten throne, the Sorceress 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 needed was a little help from her army of horn-nosed 'rhynocs,' the cooperation of her mysterious disciple Bianca and, of course, those 150 magical dragon eggs which she stole from right under the dragons' snouts.Spyro: Year of the Dragon

The Story
Here's the official word on the story from the SpyroTheDragon.com website:
Every twelve years, the Dragon Kingdom celebrated its most important event: the "Year of the Dragon" Festival. Fairies delivered a new batch of 150 dragon eggs and dragons came from all around to dance and feast until everyone dropped from exhaustion. However, unbeknownst to the celebrating dragons, a sinister plot was about to unfold...

Gems are strangely identical to the last game. Strangely because Avalar and The Forgotten Worlds are most likely further away from each other then the Dragon Realms is from the Forgotten Worlds. Strange how they have the Avalar set of gems rather than the Dragon Realms set, maybe the Sorceress had the GemCutters in from Avalar though.
| Gem Colour | Gem Value |
| Red | 1 |
| Green | 2 |
| Purple | 5 |
| Yellow | 10 |
| Pink | 25 |
The same containers for the gems as in Avalar. However here you get gems from killing the Rhynocs whereas in Avalar they released a Spirit Particle. Also this game sees the return of a locked chest, slightly different in appearence from the first game, but you will still need to find a key to open them.
Anyway, on with the walkthrough, and on to Sunrise Spring!

Thanks for reminding us that they forgot Agent 9, SD-King. I bet you hate people when they're stupid as much as I do.

Oh...
I adore this game. I still have my PS1 and I play Spyro all the time.I'm thirteen,and most of the kids say I'm too big for it ,but I love Spyro,and that's a fact =3
I wanna start a fan site about the first three Spyro games,I think the guys from Insomniac sorta deserve it. I don't like the new Spyro games,they seem so... flashy. I'll post the link if I will create it right here,I promise. Because this is the place where true Spyro fans are!
BTW::: Hunter rocks x)
