As Armor Meter Points has been split, as said in the TLP Crash Rescue thread. Fixing wicks.


* ArmorMeterPoints: A variation, [[PlatformingPocketPal Sparx the dragonfly]] works as your "shield". Spyro is actually a OneHitPointWonder, but you wouldn't know that because Sparx will take the damage for you when you get hit. The "meter" here is more subtle, taking form of Sparx's coloring: he's normally yellow, but by taking damage he'll turn blue, then green, before disappearing after one more hit.

However, the Skylanders spinoff material treats Spyro as the main protagonist and leader of the Skylanders, which means, thanks to the series' popularity, Spyro is beginning to have a starring role outside of video games. He makes prominent appearances in the Skylanders prequel novels and {{Interquel}} comics from Creator/IDWPublishing, and, most notably, is a main character in the new ''WesternAnimation/SkylandersAcademy'' TV series voiced by [[Film/{{Accepted}} Justin Long]] ([[TheOtherDarrin as opposed to Josh Keaton in the actual games]]).

The series has been rebooted twice (and one could argue the non-Insomniac games in the classic series are in their own continuity as well as they aren't always totally in line with the original trilogy's canon). The first reboot, ''The Legend of Spyro'', was DarkerAndEdgier, while the second reboot, ''Skylanders'', returned to the lightness of the classic series while also spinning off its own hugely successful franchise and kicking off the "Toys to Life" genre.

The Spyro franchise has a long history of crossing over with the ''Franchise/CrashBandicoot'' games. Their initial developers, Insomniac and Creator/NaughtyDog have been close allies for years. They worked on Spyro and Crash literally right next to each other, in the same room. ''VideoGame/JakAndDaxter'' and ''Franchise/RatchetAndClank'' have a similar relationship for the same reason.

The UK Nintendo Store page suggesting the game was coming to Switch was taken down, so it may have been a mistake. I think it's best to wait for an official announcement before adding that it's coming to the Switch.
