The first Spyro the Dragon has now added Skill Points of their own, making players think outside the box when exploring the various realms.
Most dragons in Peace Keepers will give you a warrior's salute after you rescue them.
One of the trophies you can collect involves you torching three of the nightmarish grown-up Demon Dogs. It becomes surprisingly easy to face your fears when there's a reward involved.
This time, the cutscene where Spyro arrives in Avalar made Zoe's assault on Ripto even more awesome than it was originally. Here, she charges at Ripto mid-attack, zaps him and snatches his scepter, before she gets Crush to accidentally hit him like before. She was even about to make off with it before Gulp took a bite out of it. And she did all of it with no prompting!
The act is made more impactful by the fact that Zoe is clearly panicking throughout the whole thing in this rendition, giving a greater first impression that Ripto and his henchmen are goofs, but dangerous goofs that Zoe risked her neck to protect Spyro from.
In the same vein as the Demon Dog example, you get a trophy just for destroying every single one of the Robosharks.
Sheila, once freed, sends Moneybags flying dozens of feet up the air, instead of just into the closest rock formation. Also while she's vacant in the original, her angry dusting of hands afterwards in this case make perfectly clear there was nothing playful about it. Moneybags pissed her off good.
The scene where Hunter saves Bianca from the mutated rabbit was made more cinematic and badass.
Greta taking on the ninja Rhynocs at the end of Fireworks Factory is just as awesome as it was in the original trilogy. Sure, we don't get any Bullet Time this time, but we got to trade it for more fluid animation.
When the Sorceress makes her true intentions for the baby dragons clear, the caged Agent 9 speaks his mind:
If I had my blaster, you'd be singin' a different tune, know what I mean!
In addition, while Bianca was outraged in the original version, in this case her acting is furious at the Sorceress, even making the latter flinch away as she dresses her down, making Bianca turning against her Bad Boss even more cathartic.
One of the gold hidden trophies?
