I loved the original version of this level. Vietnam looking gnorcs were cool looking, and the level was tough for 9 year old me!

  Rapidly updating as we're just about at the end of Spyro 1 here. It's time for the --FINAL BOSS--, and Pods is here to finish the fight with us.

Yeah I don't blame Jaffy for not LP-ing the original PlayStation version of Spyro one cause while it was a good game of its time, that still makes it a game of its time. The environments were very basic, controls were off especially with lack of the Hover and as Jaffy noted in video the Dragons were mostly recolors of each other with the little deviation being based on dragon species. Here's renders of Nestor, Titan, Cosmos, Bruno and a screenshot of Lateef who didn't even get a render to give you an idea of what the dragons looked like in the orignal version:      This use of generic character models also extends to non-major NPCs in the sequels apart from a few notable exceptions like Tara in YotD.

And now for... the finale!   It only took 8 years, but we finished Spyro 1 on this channel. Thank you so much for sticking with me all this time.

I never had the patience to finish this fight in the original. Can't say why - I got all the way there, so the platforming (such as it is) should have been easy enough, but I never pulled it off!

And off to the best Spyro game. I am curious on seeing if Reignited version is more or less broken than the original. I am assuming that more.

Unfortunately, time rolls on... I wonder what prevents most remakes/remasters from using the original audio, though? Surely it's cheaper than hiring new VAs.

Fun fact about Colossus is that this seems to be first level you're intended to complete after leaving Glimmer since it's one the few levels that doesn't require a power bought from Moneybags.

The humanoids you help in both Idol Springs and Colossus are seemingly meant to be member the same species. On that note this realm and its sibling Colossus went under the early names of "Colossus Springs," and "Colossus Valley/Steppe" respectively which were found in the code for the demo.

I suspect because it gets built from different pieces in that animation it's different from one that just loads in as one thing.

So this is a complete guess, but one possibility for why running the game for a long time could affect something is floating point accuracy. If the game uses the time since boot for timing calculations (eg. as part of calculating the time that has passed between the current and the last frame), and that is stored as a floating point value, then you naturally get decreasing precision over time due to how floating point works -- values closer to 0 have higher precision than values farther away from 0. An example of this actually affecting games is the PC version of Wonderful 101, which does pretty much exactly this for framepacing, which causes noticeable frame stutter after around 2 hours. See here for a writeup on the issue.

Would waiting 90 minutes have opened up any other possibilities in the levels you'd already played? Would it have made that Aquaria Towers trick easier?

The full doc I read is here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VTNMaMwe3x36FXG7K9Mkkn8yBcvZEWkTLHzoJBRWAEQ/edit From the Doc posted:Secondly, waiting 75-90 mins before running. This one may sound stupid, but there was an interesting thing found by runner LackLuckster_ (AKA CrystallineShine in discord). They were attempting to do a climbless jump in autumn plains and found it became much easier after about 90 mins. Other runners including myself have attempted this jump and found it to be almost impossible, but upon waiting the 90 mins it becomes much easier. It seems to be that having the game open for at least 75 mins gives some effect to spyro’s jump and makes jumps that are more difficult easier, examples of these jumps are an End of level jump in Idol Springs, Autumn plains climbless jump and Magma cone Climbless jumps. I will say that I have 0 clue as to what actually happens to the game to make these jumps easier and therefore more viable, but something does happen. All of these jumps are possible without the waiting, but are MUCH MUCH MORE difficult. What I do is leave my game open and unpaused on autumn plains and then go scroll twitter, watch streams, or take a nap. You can also play the other games and get the same effect from having the game open, I have done 2 Spyro 1 any% NBS runs and have gotten the effect after. Also, after some point you might lose the effect which is why it’s important after runs to make sure you can still do the jump in autumn plains. And the actual video guide/tutorial: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M4JxVykvLds This will probably have 'spoilers' for some upcoming stuff in my videos so watch at your own risk!

  Mommy, why do the sad rocks keep watching me? Small note: My PC Crashed and my GPU/Graphics card died. Big Sad. Long story short, had to buy a new one (IN THIS ECONOMY?!) and it's on the way. This will affect Wednesday's video to just being a bonus one. Hopefully that's the extent of it!
