I've noticed that there's no cheat section for this game. I'm curious to know when the codes for this game are going to be on this site or not (since they were already on this site for Spyro 1, Spyro 2, Spyro 3, etc. The cheat codes for this game are as followed (listed below):

Playstation 2 Cheat Codes (Spyro 8):
All following cheats are done using the Left-Analog Stick.
1.) Unlimited Health:
Hold L1 while entering the following:
Right, Right, Down, Down, Left.

2.) Unlimited Mana And Breath:
Hold R1 while entering the following:
Up, Right, Up, Left, Down

3.) Maximum XP (Experience Points):
Hold R1 while entering the following:
Up, Left, Left, Down, Up

4.) All Elemental Upgrades:
Hold L1 while entering the following:
Left, Up, Down, Up, Right

Remember when entering the codes, DO NOT use the D-Pad on the Playstation 2 controller. Use the Left Analog stick for the movements described above.
