so you want to be a speedrunner: Spyro 1, Cliff Town, shortcuts with charge jumps

have you ever watched a speed run of Spyro the Dragon and seen the cool tricks done and wondered how and if you could do them? well come join me as I attempt to show how anyone can do some of these fun tricks!! in this video, I will: explain why the rocket only sometimes lights ups, show some easier and some harder shortcuts by combining charging with jumping and gliding, remind us all of the great days of 99 lives cheat codes, and get revenge on that mocking laugh. 0:18 99 lives code 0:58 jump at start to final treasure 3:30 charge, jump, glide, charge 3:57 roof top jumps 4:32 the triangle button 5:36 coyote time 6:17 back to roof top jumps with logic 7:30 rocket explained 9:50 the rocket lied 10:33 finally, we agreed 11:50 rambling and thanks 13:43 revenge :) while I cannot promise anything fancy or high quality, I can share facts, controller inputs, and various ways to do some of the tricks that seem to have some people scratching their heads. each video will have errors and struggles as they will be continuous recordings while I ramble about what I know. please feel free to DM me on Twitch or Discord, or to leave a comment here with any feedback or requests. I am the first to admit that I am incredibly rusty, and there are many tricks I cannot do. but I will always try to find something or someway to help if you are interested in learning to speedrun the original Spyro Trilogy. thanks in advance for watching!!
