comment |
The seventh Spyro the Dragon game and the last one developed by Digital Eclipse, released on the Game Boy Advance in 2003.In a terrible mishap, Spyro, Sparx, and the Professor have inadvertently torn a hole in the fabric of space between the Rhynoc and Dragon Realms. Now, at the command of the elusive Ripto, droves of Rhynocs are pouring into the Dragon Realms in yet another attempt to make life miserable. Spyro must help the Professor close the hole quickly before both the gate and Ripto's giant ego get too big and the two realms fuse together permanently! |

Awesome, but Impractical: The charge abilities just take too long to charge in order to be practical outside of puzzling. Too bad that's how you have to defeat Ripto. |

| | Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs (Video Game) / int_422f23f9 |
comment |
Power-Up Food: A penguin trooper gives Spyro a powerful breath mint which enables him to puff out a freezing cold mist cloud, which also freezes shallow water to make temporary bridges. A monkey worker gives Spyro a hot banana pepper which powers up his flame breath into the Super Flame, which like in the original games means Spyro can now shoot a fireball to hit enemies and targets from a distance. After dislodging a stuck spinach bar for a cheetah at the Cheetah Spa (which involved a bomb and destroying the vending machine), two bars fly out, with one given to Sparx and apparently eats it. This grants an extra health state. |

Alternate Continuity: The world of this game has the characters of previous games all living in the same world and working jobs they never had before or since. Sgt. Byrd for example works with a platoon of other penguins, not hummingbirds as originally shown in Year of The Dragon. |

Gotta Catch Them All |
| | Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs (Video Game) / int_527fc5fe |
comment |
Gotta Catch Them All: The ultimate objective of the game is to collect all the Hearts of the Realms. And in most cases, in order to get a Realm's Heart, you need to collect a number of other items so that the current keeper can either retrieve it from wherever it's kept, or be able to spare it from whatever task it's being used for. And in some cases you have to complete a pair of rescue mission subquests (One each for Sergeant Byrd and Agent 9) to get the key to the chest in which an item you need to acquire a Heart is found, making it a three layer deep Fetch Quest. |

| | Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs (Video Game) / int_633a7e3a |
comment |
Heart of the Matter: This game consists of several lands each with their own Heart. Each Heart of the Land is an object that is both emblematic and vital to the operations of each land, and obtaining them to defeat the Big Bad forms the core of the game. While they're all different objects, each Heart also incorporates, well, heart imagery on them. |

Safecracking: The Master Thief locked the Heart of his Realm into his safe, and needs his tools to get it out. He ultimately ends up destroying the safe completely in his efforts to open it. When you consider the fact that it's his safe to begin with, this seems really odd, as he should have already known the combination. |

Shout-Out: The Rhynocs n' Clocks world is an obvious yet rather obscure reference (considering the intended audience demographic) to Salvador Dali's The Persistence of Memory. The walls in the Sgt. Byrd mission in Chateau Ripto also contain famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa and The Scream defaced with Ripto's face. |
