History SelfDemonstrating / SpyroTheDragonClassic

Also, since my personality and that ''[[VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro other]]'' Spyro's personality is as different as night and day, apparently he got his own page as well. But since I'm so much cooler, [[{{Zapped}} his page wasn't considered worthy of existing]]. What a shame! That's why I'm getting the UpdatedRerelease!

* SuperDrowningSkills: I had this back in my first adventure, and it gets taken UpToEleven in the Game Boy Advance titles. You'd think I gained a sudden allergy to water in those adventures.

''Note: can be read in the voice of Creator/CarlosAlazraqui, Creator/TomKenny, or Creator/JessHarnell.''

* AmericanKirbyIsHardcore: I'm what you guys would call an inversion. In most places, what you see is what you get; I'm just a dragon who likes torching Gnorcs, Rhynocs, and Riptocs and helping his friends. In Japan, they ''seriously'' toned me down and made me more of a KidAppealCharacter. [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking They also turned Sparx green.]]

Hey, 'sup everyone? I'm Spyro the Dragon, hero extraordinaire! Don't let my size fool you, I've saved the Dragon Realms and accomplished more things in my life than most of the old elders combined.

Sometime later, in the Year of the Dragon, the dragon eggs that were "routinely delivered by fairies" (yeah, ''right''. [[BlatantLies I totally believed that one, Elders]]) were stolen by a rabbit wearing a robe. Having jumped down a rabbit hole ([[Literature/AliceInWonderLand wait... This sounds oddly familiar now that I say it...]]) that was too small for the other dragons to go through, I was once again charged with the task of saving dragon kind by going an adventure to the 'Forgotten Realms', where I soon faced off against the true villain, "The Sorceress". Along the way, I met up with some pretty cool allies, and even that rabbit decided to pull a HeelFaceTurn to help us.

** PlayingWithFire: [[CaptainObvious Well,]] ''[[CaptainObvious DUH!]]'' It's great for taking out bigger enemies and lighting rockets.

* UltimateShowdownOfUltimateDestiny: After years of speculating, people finally get to see how I'd fare against [[Franchise/CrashBandicoot that orange bandicoot I teamed up with once]] in a [[WebAnimation/DeathBattle duel to the death]], even though they're mostly counting my incarnation from ''VideoGame/TheLegendOfSpyro'' with the other incarnations' abilities thrown in for good measure. [[spoiler:No points for guessing who won; great work, other me! Though I gotta admit, Crash put up a pretty good fight. Still, though: ''nobody'' hurts Sparx while I or any of my other selves are around!]]

* BerserkButton: [[ShmuckBait Go a head, harm one of my friends. I]] ''[[ShmuckBait dare]]'' [[ShmuckBait ya'.]]

* CelibateHero: Yes, I'm aware of plague of 'love'. Luckily, I'm immune to it. Didn't stop Ember from crushing on me until I hooked her up with Bandit, though. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial And no, I do not have a crush on Elora. We're just friends. Stop asking!]]

** PlayingWithFire: [[CaptainObvious Well,]] ''[[CaptainObvious DUH!]]''
** AnIcePerson: Early on I needed the help of a fairy or power-up gate to breathe this, but later games would give me this as a default ability.
** ShockAndAwe: Didn't gain this until way later.

* GroundPound: One of the few good things Moneybags did in my first three adventures was teach me the Headbash/Horn Smash/Horn Dive/whatever it wants to be called. Pretty useful for hitting switches, breaking certain chests, busting Dark Crystals, and taking out a good number of baddies.

* BloodKnight: At least back in my first outing against Gnasty Gnorc, I was a lot more eager to get into scraps with enemies. These days, I'm still willing to charge in, but these days it's just to help my friends or to get the MacGuffin of the day.
