In the original Shakespeare plays, many of the female characters were often played by men in drag. Which likely explains why Juliet from Zephyr sounds awkwardly like a dude doing a girly voice. (It's even more a shame that the Reignited Trilogy changed her voice to sound conventionally feminine.)
The Bad Export for You entry on the main page forgot a delicious detail - namely, the fact the music playing in the European version of Lost Fleet is the same heard in Super Bonus Round. If you consider the skateboarding and the submarine minigames, you might say that the aforementioned Super Bonus Round is basically Lost Fleet turned up to eleven, and as such the musical choice for Lost Fleet makes perfect sense, much more than the Sheila's Alp music with the only addition of accordions.
The below Fridge Logic with Breezebuilders versus Land Blubbers. They're at war. You're fighting from both POVs, on both sides, to achieve your goals in each home world.
Also, in both worlds, Spyro is helping the local population (Breezebuilders in Breeze Harbor, Land Blubbers in Zephyr) and repelling an invasion.
Adding onto that, one of the discovered prototypes revealed that there was unused narration that made it clear the two worlds did get along before, with the war itself being engineered by Ripto. In both cases, Spyro is attacking the force currently on Ripto’s side, thereby contributing to fighting against the Big Bad.
Ripto's name comes from Spyro's name written in katakana, as seen on the Japanese cover art (スパイロ).
Spyro collects treasure throughout the games because he's a dragon.
In the first game, the Ice Cavern level is part of the Peacekeepers world - which otherwise consists of arid, hot desert levels. It bears remembering that the definition of a "desert" is simply an area with very low precipitation - in real life, Antarctica is the world's largest desert. So while other worlds might have been thematically more suitable (Magic Crafters in particular, with levels set amongst snowy mountaintops), placing the Ice Cavern in the desert-themed world still fits.
Those skateboarding rhynocs in Lost Fleet? They're basically teenagers who hang out in places their parents don't want them to go so they can skate.
For as much buildup Dragon Shores is given in Ripto's Rage!, you'd think there would be more dragons there besides Spyro. Instead, everyone else except the Gnorcs tending the park is native to Avalar. Well, you'll remember that the portal going from the Dragon Realms to Dragon Shores was redirected mid-transit to Avalar, and that Ripto destroyed the terminating portal using a blast of magic. When Spyro finally gets to Dragon Shores, the only portal in operation is the one connecting back to Avalar, which had only JUST been opened. Apparently, the Professor's tampering and Ripto's magic blast disrupted all connections to Dragon Shores before any other dragons got the idea to go there.
In addition, the Gnorcs running the park won't admit Spyro unless he's found more orbs than he needed to defeat Ripto and restore the Professor's super-portal. Well, as pointed out above, they're in the middle of a portal outage. They're using those extra orbs to reconnect with the Dragon Realms portal network.
One point of confusion regarding Ripto's Rage! is the lack of a Spring-themed homeworld to go with the Autumn-, Summer- and Winter-themed worlds. The first thought regarding this is that the developers figured it would have been too similar to the Summer World, but what's the first world in Year of the Dragon called? SUNRISE SPRING. They were saving it for the sequel all along, and in a way that would tie both game's worlds together!
Shiela the (Australian accented) Kangaroo hangs out in the Alps of a European-adjacent world with German-accented goats. Considering Australia and Austria are just two letters off, we're sure it's fine.
Keeping true to his character as a beast smarter than Crush, Gulp is not beaten by baiting him into tactical suicide in his Spyro 2 boss fight.
Both Avalar and the Forgotten Worlds don't have dragons. However, the Worlds' magic is disappearing because of this, and most of their portals are inactive until Spyro manages to rescue and hatch enough dragon eggs; meanwhile, Avalar doesn't seem to have this problem - most of their portals are still active, and the few that aren't can be fixed with a few orbs. And that hints at the reason: dragons and Avalar's orbs are both power sources for portals, and by extension a source of magic. The Forgotten Worlds don't have either of those, which is why their magic is dying out.
During her tenure under the Sorceress, Bianca wears a dark cloak, despite few other minions shrouding themselves the same way. However, while the Sorceress and her Rhynocs are all relatively menacing looking creatures, Bianca is a cute, feminine little bunny rabbit. Given how badly Bianca tries to look "evil" initially, the cloak helps hide how unimposing her true self is.
Hunter seems rather fluent with several gadgets and vehicles in Year of the Dragon, which has logic given how much he hangs around the Professor.
Bianca starting off a villain in Year of the Dragon seems fitting since the title references the Chinese Zodiac. What year comes before Dragon? The Year of the Rabbit.
In the original Spyro the Dragon, multiple gnorcs have swords and other bladed weapons with conspicuous patches of red on them. Did Gnasty crystalize all the dragons, or did he crystalize most of them, and leave his newly-created henchmen that turned up abruptly within the dragon treasure hordes to clean up the survivors?
Perhaps they were taking out their boredom on the fodder creates throughout the areas. Or, alternatively, they deliberately paint their weapons to give them a fiercer look
In Spyro: A Hero's Tail, Sgt Byrd told Spyro that a Dragon Egg would go great with bangers and bash. Now at first it just seems like it was a joke based of Byrd's British accent but until you realize that he just suggest that Spyro (A dragon) should EATthe dragon egg.
On a related note, one of the Sgt. Byrd levels has a hummingbird claim to "have stolen the Rhynocs' rations", and in one of the Sheila levels one of the Mountain Goats was "saving it up for an omelet". Some of the baby dragons almost got eaten!
In Year Of The Dragon, the Sorceress mentions she has been training Bianca for several years. Considering most of her derogatory names for her such as "brat" and "a mere child", it would be implied that Bianca has spent a large amount of her young life being kicked around and forced into no good by her abusive overlord before Hunter came and took pity on her. Her fairly meek and downtrodden personality doesn't help sway from it either.
Another somewhat sad undertone concerning Bianca is her brush with the monster she creates in "Hunter's Tussle". Given the Sorceress' dispensible treatment of her lackies, and Spyro's initial antipathy (he's even smirking nonchalently after she gets eaten alive), it is made apparent that if Hunter hadn't decided to tag along with Spyro, Bianca would have simply been deemed another bumbling villain who suffered an Undignified Death trying to appease her master. What a sorry life.
Also concerning the Sorceress, Bianca's flashback implies that the Sorceress banished all the dragons from the Forgotten Worlds after a heated disagreement. Following The Reveal of her plan, it's not hard to think what that disagreement was over. In the original cutscene, the dragon in the flashback is even shaking their head in refusal over something in a vigorous way.
When you enter Haunted Tomb, Dan mentions another "daredevil adventurer" and hopes you're "tougher stuff than the last guy" and tasks you with surviving the trials. Who was this guy and what happened to them?
(スパイロ).
