Chasing Moneybags
After defeating the Sorceress, Moneybags will appear on the bridge between the portals to Crystal Islands and Desert Ruins. He says that he has a dragon egg and is going to sell it back in Avalar. He recognizes a mischievous look in Spyro's eyes, then starts running for his life. You'll then get the chance to chase the greedy bear down and reclaim your gems by flaming and/or charging into him until all the gems you've spent previously are reclaimed. Once running out of gems, an exhausted Moneybags will complain about how fast dragons are before saying that he is retiring to Spooky Swamp to become a haiku poet. The egg will then be given. This egg does count towards the egg count for Midnight Mountain, where it says that you have 6/5 eggs and a total of 111% for the level. In realms where you have not previously paid Moneybags, he will no longer appear in these realms, and any doors and paths he previously locked will now be open.
The Unreachable Island
Far out into the abyss near the point where the rocket is housed is a tall, thin island with three extra lives that cannot be reached by normal methods. It was intended to be the portal to the Super Bonus Round with a whirlwind in front of the Sorceress' Lair leading to it, but the idea was scrapped and the island was left in the game due to time constraints.
In the original game, the only known way to reach this island without using external hacking tools is to use a proxy jump glitch on the helmet structure surrounding the portal to Desert Ruins[1]. Hacking can be used to access the island - for example by allowing the player to "moon jump" or by teleporting the player directly there. A fan has also managed to create a patch which restores the whirlwind.[2]
In the Reignited Trilogy, the whirlwind was restored in front of the portal to the Sorceress' Lair, and thus, the island can now be accessed. It will activate after the Sorceress' initial defeat.

Glitch
There is a glitch which allows you to swim in the air and see the cage Hunter is placed in during a cutscene, and the belly of the whale. If you enter the belly of the whale a second time, you will encounter a Game trap. This glitch requires the Dead Mode glitch in order to be done.

Trivia
General
- This is the only home world in the game to not to have a Powerup Gate, a Sgt. Byrd portal in any of its realms, and the only one where Spyro can die by falling without using glitches.
- If you battle the Sorceress before you release Agent 9, he will still appear at the battle and aid you. After finishing the level you'll notice that Agent 9 is free, waiting outside his level portal. Some dialogue is shown when you walk up to him, but no audio plays as there's no audio file for this dialogue.
- Interestingly enough all the other critters have similar scenarios programmed into the game, but they go unused. Presumably they would have been used before their corresponding cutscenes had been programmed in.[3]
- If you don't get the "Catch the Thief" egg before defeating the Sorceress, then the egg will just be sitting on the ground close to where the thief would have spawned. You can still collect it like any other egg by walking up to it.
- Unlike the other home worlds in the game, Midnight Mountain does not require you to complete any of its realms to proceed in the game and you can enter the boss level so long as you have collected 100 Dragon Eggs.
Original Game
- The skybox is an edited version of the one in Dark Passage from Spyro the Dragon.
Reignited Trilogy
- In the original version, Zoe appears next to the Super Bonus Round portal after defeating the Sorceress and would inform Spyro on how to unlock the realm. For some reason, she does not appear here in the Reignited Trilogy.
- Despite having custom talking animations for most of his appearances in Year of the Dragon, Moneybags will revert to his standard, salesman-type talking animation in this homeworld, making him appear to not be exhausted after chasing him down.
