One day, Bianca spent a few hours in the library researching ideal vacation spots for a trip she was planning for Spyro, Hunter and herself. With all the travel books, Bianca mistakenly left the Sorceress' Spell book behind. Finding the book, Grendor was inspired by an ingenious plan. Flipping through the pages, he found himself a transformation spell to change his meager frame into a towering mass of muscle and brainpower! Wasting no more time, he read the spell aloud; too hasty even to notice the book was turned upside down. Grendor wound up with bulk and brainpower all right, but in the form of two heads, and a migraine in both of his thick skulls.
Spyro: Season of Ice
Spyro: Season of Ice
Spyro: Season of Ice is the first Spyro game to appear on the GBA. The first Spyro game to be made by a developer other then Spyro's creators Insomniac Games, Digital Eclipse have done a decent enough job on this game to make it playable and replayable.
Season of Ice takes you, as Spyro, to the Fairy Realms in order to save them from an evil menace. Set shortly after Year of the Dragon, Season of Ice continues with a slightly linked story but really it's not the greatest story you'll have ever encountered.

The Story
Here's the official word on the story from the SpyroTheDragon.com website:
After the defeat of the Sorceress, many of her old Rhynoc minions were left out of work or had to take less-than-ideal day jobs. None more so than Grendor, the Rhynoc librarian at the Grand Central Dragon Realms library. A small, meek figure, Grendor never made the cut into the Rhynoc army and desperately longed for a career change.
And here's my description of the opening part to the game...
The camera zooms in to see Spyro, Hunter and Bianca relaxing on a beach somewhere, probably Dragon Shores, when Hunter suddenly sees something in the sky. He thinks it's a flying sheep saucer but Spyro recognises it as a balloon. Bianca catches it and reads the note attached to it. The note is from Zoe and reads: 'Dear Spyro, I'm using every last drop of my magic to send you this message. Someone has cast a powerful spell over the Fairy World and, freezing fairies in Ice Crystals. And we can't get out! Now, the Rhynocs are back and collecting fairies one by one. I wish I knew what they were up to. Please come back before it's too late.' Spyro decides to go help the fairies and Bianca says she'll go off and check her spell book for something to help.
Hunter mentions that she hasn't been carrying the Spell Book for a few days which is news to Bianca but she finds out that she no longer has it on her. She realises that she must have left it in the library when she got the travel book for their vacation. As she sets off to find her book, Hunter, Spyro and Sparx head off to help the fairies.
The Controls
| Spyro the Dragon | |
| A | Jump. Press again when in the air to glide. Press again whilst in glide to hover and end the glide. |
| B | Flame |
| R | Charge |
| Start | Bring up the start menu |
| Select | Open the Atlas |
Gems are once again the currency of the world, and once again you'll be needing to collect it all to get 100% completion.
| Gem Colour | Gem Value |
| Red | 1 |
| Green | 2 |
| Purple | 5 |
| Yellow | 10 |
Gems are once again in the same places as usual. In flammable baskets, chargeable vases, locked chests, inside Rhynocs and just lying around on the ground.
Sparx
And as usual Sparx is Spyro's health meter.
| Sparx Colour | Hits Left |
| Yellow | 4 |
| Blue | 3 |
| Green | 2 |
| None | 1 |
To regain Sparx's health just flame a small animal such as a sheep that will give out a butterfly. Each butterfly will regain one health point.
Progress Saving
Strangely enough, for a world filled entirely with fairies, there are no progress saving fairies in the whole game. None. So every time you die, you'll be taken all the way back to the start of the level and have to redo everything except collecting gems and freeing fairies.
Well, that's enough of that then. On to the walkthrough, getting started with Autumn Fairy Home.

LOL!!! i keep falling off the freakin edge!!! 
Here's my report for Market Mesa:
Music: Not better then other pieces, but it is awesome!
Enemies: Weirder then all Japanese things combined!
Fairies: fun to get here
Design: Fitting for the name
Overall: Not better then others, but still good. Just wish that the weird enemies would not be weird.
Just wish I can show you the enemies to prove how weird they are.

LOL 
dont like that level

Hmmm... *looks for portal to market mesa then runs into hunter* "Spyro, press the R button to charge" I know! *continues his search then finds it* Aha! *listens to music there* kinda catchy, but compared to the theme in spring Fairy World, it's not that good. I think it depends on what you compare it too.
*sees llamas* I agree. *sees enemies there* Double what the ****!

ha come to think of it so do I !!
whenever i see the llama things in market messa i always think they're dancing to the crappy music in that place...
Sorry again for double posting, but I just want to get back on topic. I finished this game, and it's amazing!

That's a hard question! I have no idea about how I can answer that question.

Who is ur fav Spyro character? (besides Spyro)
Sorry for posting again, but I just want to say that your opinions don't matter to me. I respect literally all of them. BTW, all characters in this game, excluding some but including 
, are amazing. is amazing, 
is amazing, even 
is great!

Apologies for posting two times in a row, but when I said something about Kratos (which I know is completely of topic), I made a mistake. Instad of adding in the title of the game he was in, I literally said simply the game instead. Don't ask me what the title of the non-spyro game, just, say I said something. Anyways, great game for the GBA!
Okay, this is more underrated then Enter the Dragonfly. (Both overall and music wise!) Theme's awesome, tracks not always annoying, and who cares how the music is made! At least it is better then Kratos himself! (Yes, I don't play M games, just heard about it from Youtube. Heck, I even heard what he did in the game: HORRIBLE STUFF!) Once again, the music is simply entertaining. There! That's how the music is in this game! Simply entertaining! (That's in my opinion of course.)
alright, alright. why don't we all put this as simple as possible, not having to explain the music with big long words: IT SUCKED.
I didn't care for the fighting music, either. Kinda got annoying after a while. It was okay.
Probably. There's limits with GBA music, more limits than console music. There's a big difference between console and GBA music. xP

Me too! I do that as much often as in Super Mario: 3D Land. How much does it happen? A lot!
