First release date. Got this game! Well... Actually, it\'s my

*Yawn* Hi... I\'m sick today and is away from school today. Sorry
\'bout not updating. Anyways, here\'s the update: More levels
added in the walkthrough section, and also changed all the \' to

Game Overview
*************
Spyro flies from Playstation format to handheld!
The little (and gentle) dragon named Spyro is a well-known mascot for
anyone who plays Playstation, and now he has found the way to the GBA! The
game developers have made some really nice 3D graphics on this machine!
Spyro must get out and rescue some fairies that have been frozen to ice.
To rescue \'em all, he need to visit twenty unique levels. By the way he\'ll
get power ups and upgrades. The game has many tasks that must be solved

headbutting, get out there and clear this game! Whoopie!

Characters
**********
Spyro
^^^^^
The purple, cute little dragon, previously only debuted on Sony. He\'s the
hero of this game! He\'s up to rescue all of the fairies that is frozen.
Sparx
^^^^^
Spyro\'s fellow follower, he\'s Spyro\'s health. Some places he gets his own
levels.
Hunter
^^^^^^
Besides Sparx, Hunter is Spyro\'s constant companion and personal trainer,
though his new romance with Bianca has made him later than ever. Hunter is
always around for some on-the-job training if Spyro needs it.
Zoe
^^^
An Autumn Fairy, Zoe has always been there to save Spyro\'s Adventures. Now
she needs Spyro\'s help to save her and the other fairies.
Grendor
^^^^^^^
The former Forgotten Realms librarian has gone mad with the pain in his
two heads. Though he\'s heard accounts of Spyro\'s prowess from his Rhynoc
minions, no over-hyped purple dragon is going to stop him.
Bianca
^^^^^^
The former disciple of the Sorceress, Bianca is now part of Spyro\'s gang.
Her knowledge of spells will help Spyro in his adventure.
Moneybags
^^^^^^^^^
A self-made bear and entrepreneur, this penny-pinching ursus arctos has
made his fortune on being at the right place at the right time, namely in
Spyro\'s way. For a \"reasonable\" fee, Moneybags might help you on your
adventure.
Story
*****
The Season of Ice
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.
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 meagre 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. Frantically, Grendor searched for some way out of his
terrible predicament, finding only one antidote listed in the appendix,
the wings of 100 magical fairies. Grendor captures Zoe and casts a magical
spell, freezing the fairies in place throughout all the Fairy Realms.
Using her last bit of magic, Zoe the fairy sends a frantic message to the
only one who can help them...
Life
****
Yeah... The big thing in this game is -of course- not to die. The guy who
helps you with that is Sparx, the dragonfly. The life you have left is
ranged by different colors:
Yellow: 100% Yeeeha!
Blue: 75% Getting Shaky
Green: 50% Houston, we got a problem!
None: 25% We\'re going down!!
After: 0% Aggh!! *dying*
Replenishing
^^^^^^^^^^^^
You can keep Sparx nourished with a healthy diet of butterflies. They\'re
coming from native animals. Some places you can even find a butterfly
inside a glass. That gives you 1up.
Saving the Fairies
******************
The fairies were frozen wherever they were - right on the spot, so they
are scattered throughout the Fairy Realms. Spyro must find all the frozen
crystal encasing the fairies and melt them with his fire breath.
Home Worlds, Realms and Portals
*******************************
Spyro begins his quest in the Seasonal Home World of the Fairy Realms.
From here, Spyro will be able to access the other worlds in the realms
through Portals. Some areas will only open after a certain number of
Fairies have been rescued.
Portals
^^^^^^^
Entering a portal will transport Spyro to a world where he will meet
creatures troubled, bothered and annoyed by the invading Rhynocs. Helping
these creatures will make an exit Portal appear, allowing Spyro to return
to the Home World. To enter a portal, just walk or fly into it. Spyro will
instantly transport to another realm.
Gems
^^^^
And then there are always gems to collect. You\'ll want to other as many
gems as you can carry. Sometimes they are hidden in baskets or vases or a
variety of different containers. Charge into or flame those containers to
obtain the gems. Moneybags seems to be everywhere these days and his rates
are always going up. Collect all the gems you can to afford his special
services. To see how many gems you have, press the START button. Your gem
count displays at the top of the screen.
To see how many gems there are in the realm, open the Pause screen (press
START button) and look at the Atlas. Near the Gem Icon, you\'ll see the
number of gems collected and the total number of gems in that realm.
The different gems is...
O Red: 1 gem
O Green: 2 gems
O Purple: 5 gems
O Yellow: 10 gems
Speedways
^^^^^^^^^
Speedway Realms can be found in the Seasonal Home Worlds, Spyro must speed
through the course collecting gems, knocking down enemies, and dodging the
obstacles within the given time limit. Once he makes it through the
Speedway the first time, a second, harder trial is opened up. Are you up
for the challenge?
Sparx Rounds
^^^^^^^^^^^^
Sparx has always helped Spyro along the way, but some of the fairies are
hidden so well that even Spyro might not be able to get them. Here Sparx
must venture out on his own in order to save the fairies. In these levels,
Sparx must battle his way through a vast array of insects and collect keys
to progress through the maze of bushes.

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
The fourth Spyro-game! And it is the first time it is on a Nintendo-
machine! It has some very interesting big levels, one hundred fairies to
collect and 7000 gems (treasures)! Let\'s see at some points...
GRAPHICS: 10/10
Practically, I don\'t think the graphics on a GBA could be better than
this! Spyro is gorgeous animated from skull to tail, Sparx haven\'t seen
better and everything else is almost as good as it was on PSX back in
those days! (It\'s still being made though...) The first place you visit,
autumn world, is so fantastic that you lose your breath sometimes! Rivers,
trees, hills... It\'s all fantastic!
SOUND: 8/10
The sound is good, but not fantastic. You may recognize some melodies from
the past series, and some brand new! The cartoonish melodies fit perfect
into this game! Especially the Autumn-world music is nice...
CONTROLS: 9/10
Spyro got a huge arsenal of weapons, moves and things like that. Once you
get used to not use the R to much, this game will be a pleasure to play.
STORY: 7/10
I\'m not saying it isn\'t good, but if this is the first time you play a
Spyro-game, you don\'t understand a thing! The story is that after the
sorceress was defeated, her rhynocs guards were out of a job. So was
Grendor. Then one day he walked to the library, Bianca was there. She left
the Sorceress\' spell book left. Grendor found it, and was inspired. He was
so inspired that he read it upside down, to quick to even notice that the
book was turned wrong way. He suddenly got two heads and four headaches.
And the Antidote? It was 100 fairy wings... He froze all fairies. They was
frozen wherever they where. And now, Spyro to rescue!
GAMEPLAY: 8/10
Yeah, yeah... This game would get a ten on this, but the control is a bit
tricky. You\'re falling down on those frigging gaps all the time!!! If you
look away from that, this is the best game on the GBA right now. The tasks
are very repeating and -sometimes- boring. It is mainly \"catch the thief\",
\"Light all candles\" or \"Defeat all enemies\". The AI isn\'t so good either,
as the enemies _run_ away from you when they see you... But anyways, this
is insanely fun! And if you manage to collect all fairies and gems, you
can always try to get better speedway times!
BUY OR RENT: BUY
This game is so massive, that you can never be finished with it within
that period of time. Think about it... 7000 treasures!
OVERALL: 8/10
A really good game technically, but is drawn down by some minor faults --
who never should be there! If you manage to live with these flaws, this is
a real gem. And by the way, I gotta be going... I\'m going to hunt down
some treasures now. :-)
+------------------------------------------------------------------------+

+------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Hm... First of all, I\'d like to warn you people from using this
walkthrough. It contains MASSIVE spoilers, that is things that spoil the
fun for you, because I tell what\'s going to happen now and then.
Autumn Fairy Home
?????????????????
Basic overview: Yup the rumours is true... you can\'t die! If you fall out,
you\'ll fly up and then land on the spot you jumped from. This is a so
called lingo-world. It\'s a place were you can enter many levels, actually,
all levels in this Fairy Home! Moneybags here collects 400 gems to let you
get into this Sparx-world, and you need 20 fairies to advance to the next
fairy-realm. Easy task! :)
Location of Key: None in this level
Location of chest: ditto..
Location of Pumpkins
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1. On the west of Lava-prairie-portal. There\'s the first one...
2. On the east of Lava-prairie-portal. There\'s the second. Another
alternately way is south from Market Mesa.
3. East from the one you found earlier.
4. Climb up on the side of Moneybags, on the top of the hill is another
pumpkin.
5. A little down and to the right of the 4. pumpkin.
6. A little down and to the left from the Winter Fairy Home-portal (where
Bianca stands.)
7. To the left of the Market Mesa and climb up the building to find
another one.
8. Go talk to Hunter were you shall glide, then glide over to the fairy
(flame it...) and continue upwards from the fairy. There you\'ll find
it.
Other Fairies in this world
***************************
The first of them all
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Walk straight up from were you started. Flame the fairy there.
Hunter\'s Jump Game
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Just find Hunter in this level (in the east of it, not were he stands with
some sheep) and follow him on the various platforms. You soon comes to a
fairy.
_____________________________MORE COMING__________________________________

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Lava-prairie
????????????
Basic overview: Let\'s see... Lava on the right, lava on the left, lava
north, lava south... I think that\'s gonna explain it...
Location of Key: On the southernmost mountain, hard to miss.
Location of chest: On an island north of the second mountain.
Burn all flowers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
1. Go down from the start. There\'s a cactus-looking flower standing on
ground. Press B to flame it.
2. Find the fairy Suzan, and continue downwards to find it.
3. After Trog, the uga-buga, go down and to the right from him.
4. After the second geyser, up.
5. From Trog, Go up the small hills. Jump up, and when you land, go right.
There is another.
6. Now go down from where you got the fifth. When you reach the bottom, go
to the right. Flame the flower to death.
7. From Melissa, go down. There you\'ll find one.
8. When you have rescued Rhonda, go down and burn the last flower!
Kill all pterodactyls
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Okay... The thing here is to kill all the pterodactyls - but they can\'t be
reached. The solution you ask? Flame a bomb-flower to a geyser that\'s near
the pterodactyl, and wait a little. The geyser erupts, and the bomb-flower
is sent up in the air, killing the pterodactyl above... Quite fun,
obviously.
1. Right behind the guy who tells you about his problems lies the bomb.
(Bonky) Go a little down and you\'ll find it..
2. Go down, right, and down. At the end of the bony carpet lies the bomb.
Go down and then to the right a little. There\'s a nasty pterodactyl
there... blow the bomb on the geyser to KILL IT! Mwahahaha!
3. Now go to the right. After some time you will almost crash into the
bomb. Flame it northeast to find the hole.
4. Now run back to the second hole. This time go to the left. There
you\'ll see the last pterodactyl. Continue down to find the bomb. Flame
it up and bomb the bird. Another fairy saved!
Fry the Rhynocs
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Location confirmed, sending guide... Ka-ching, guide received!
1. Go down to the two Uga\'s. In the mountain behind Bonky is a mountain.
Climb up and fry the first, irritating stone thrower.
2. Same mountain, just a bit further to the right.
3. Same mountain, at the top.
4. At the top, jump down facing up. You\'ll land on another island. There
is another mountain. Climb it and take out the four enemies as before.
5. Same mountain.
6. Same mountain.
7. Same mountain (again...)
8. From the second mountain, go westwards. You\'ll eventually reach a
small road were a pterodactyl is flying above. Continue along that
path until it widens again. Now head right to find a third mountain.
Kill the thrower here too. (only one)
9. To the left of the last mountain. Kill \'im.
Now kill all of the green guys. They\'re spread around, easy to find, so
you wouldn\'t have any problems with those.
Other Fairies on this world
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Coming soon, folks...
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: Sorry about this, but my sister played that much, I couldn\'t keep up
with her. So, I took a big jump from Autumn World to Winter World, and got
one minute to play so I could make this guide for Honey March...
Honey March
```````````
Basic overview: ooo... Hard level this is. It is made up by many big and
small platforms. The theme here\'s honey, bees and beehives. The enemies,
big bees who send small bees on you, is maybe the most irritating of all.
Here you\'ll meet the professor BTW.
Fairy #1: Melt the 8 honey-flowers
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Start by jumping over to the other island in front of you. There you\'ll
find the professor. While he\'s babbling, jump up on the little hill and
breathe fire on the gorgeous flower at the top.
Now go back to the start, but this time jump to the right. Kill the bee
quickly, and go up while you\'re following the honey-river. There you\'ll
find another flower.
Continue up to meet the professor again, this time babbling about some
time-machine. Ignore him for now and continue up to find the third
flower.
Jump to the left from where you got the third flower to land on another
island. Burn the flower to sweet honey! =)
Turn hard to the right (and a bit up) of #4, and you\'ll eventually reach
another flower.
Then jump to the right. Collect the key and go down. Continue, then head
left up the little hill.
Now head straight to the right and jump over to the another island.
There\'s another flower!
To get the last, jump down an island, the to the right. There\'s the last
flower! Whohoo!!!
Fairy #2: Chu Chu
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
On the island left of the start is a cliff. Jump up there and melt the
second fairy on this level, Chu Chu.

\"After you\'ve walked into a level, it becomes available in the Atlas menu,
right?. Now chose the level you want to go on in the atlas, and press

Well, I don\'t tried this myself, but it sounds great! Thanks!
