Raggedstar - Spyro 3: Year Of The Dragon - FAIL REEL!


The final fail reel to close the last Spyro game made by Insomniac.

For those just joining us, this is a video of me playing Spyro 3, though focusing on the blunders, from being double-killed by a boss, to running off cliffs, and face-planting into the pavement while skateboarding.

As I said at the end of the Spyro 1 fail reel, my recorder decided not to record Sunrise Springs (first homeworld) and all of the levels inside the homeworld. Instead of going back and play it again (for another 2 hours), I decided to start at Buzz's Dungeon (where the cutscene and first fails are). The only Sunrise Spring level I have recorded was Molten Crater (?), since I needed to come back anyways to do Sgt. Byrd's challenge.

Notes:

-Spyro 3 is a crossbreed between games 1-2. The enemies leave gems, gem counts rise through levels, and the music is upbeat like the first game, but there are puzzles, mandatory arena boss battles, skill points, as well as characters, gem uses, and abilities from the 2nd.

-For those that don't know the game very well, something new is that for certain levels/challenges, you play different characters that you free. There is Sheila the kangaroo (ya, the same one that made me get flattened by Buzz x_x), Sgt. Byrd the flying penguin, Bentley the yeti, and Agent 9 the monkey.

-The original cut of the video was over 13 minutes long (not counting the Moneybags roasting session), so I had to cut it dramatically.

-Why is it that it seems so easy to beat Spike when you watch other people do it, but you can't do it yourself? (without dying 5 times that is)

-Can someone PLEASE smack Greta for making me use the cannon? It's hardly fair that I need to be blasted from the cannon and she just has to "fwee her mind" x____x.

-I didn't use to suck that much in first-person shooters, I swear it!

-Agent 9, I love you as much as I can love a gun-weilding psycho-monkey, but why are your puzzles so hard?

-I didn't know my voice could go that high 0-0.

-I frequently lose my controls in this game since I have to use the L-R buttons for some of the levels.

-The more I fight against the Sorceress, the more I appreciate the final battle against Ripto. Best.Boss.EVER!

-The "No sheep harmed" bit is a play on the gag at the end of the Spyro 1 credits, where it says "No sheep were harmed in the making of this game. A few gnorcs, but no sheep" (or something like that).

-I will not do Let's Play videos or tutorials because I have bad habits (duh, that's what these fail reels are about). If you want good LPs, check out people like RedDevilDazzy2007, Spyrojam86, and FourSwordsLord (I'll add more when I remember. Tell me if you find good ones so I can give shameless advertisements).
