==Dialogue==
===Pablo===
*''"Those crummy Rhynocs forced us to build a statue of the Sorceress. Then after we built it, she complained it was too ugly! If you ask me, the statue's much prettier than she is."''
*''"My friend Jasper has a plan to blow up the statue to kingdom come! But we'll have to clear out these Rhynocs first."''
*''"Yup, that exploding Sorceress statue was Jasper's finest work since 'Rhynoc with TNT Barrel: Four Seconds of Terror.'"''
 
===Jasper===
*''"I'm almost ready to reveal my latest piece of real-time four-dimensional performance art. It's called 'Hideous Exploding Witch # 9.' If you could just light all the rockets around here, my masterpiece shall be complete!"''
*''"The world breathlessly awaits my brilliant four-dimensional masterpiece. Just light all the rockets, and prepare to be amazed by my genius."''
*''"Oops! I forgot I hid this egg inside the statue! I hope the explosion didn't hard boil it."''
*''"And now, for my latest experiment, Blast Sculpting! I shall attempt to carve an image of you with a single explosive detonation."''
*''"Not too bad, eh? Very post-neolithic, wouldn't you say?"''
 
===Sgt. Byrd===
*''"I'm ready to patrol the towers and the perimeter of the islands whenever you want me to."''
*''"It's good to be back in action!"''
*''"I'll be here when you need me."''
 
===Ooga===
*''"Hello, birdy! I was having a lovely vacation with my friend, but he's lost all his bones. Can you find them and put him back together?"''
*''"Have you found any of my friend's bones? We have to go back to Skelos Badlands, and we can't leave without them."''
*''"You're doing great. Please find the rest of the bones so we can put my friend back together?"''
*''"Here, have this. I was going to keep it as a souvenir, but I don't have room in my luggage."''
*''"My friend's feeling much better now... '''OH NO! '''He's started his bone dance again!"''
*''"What did you have to come back for? Now he's going to do his whole routine again! Well, here we go..."''
*''"Spyro! Are you on vacation too? I was having a lovely time with my friend until the lava toads stole all his bones again. I'd ask you to help, but some of the toads are hiding at the top of the tallest towers, and I don't think you can fly that high."''
 
===Mowat===
*''"I was playing fetch with my pet wolf Farley, but I accidentally threw his ball right down this hole, and he went in after it. Now he's stuck down there. I feel so helpless sitting up here, listening to his steadily softening whimpers... Don't cry, wolf... Never cry, wolf..."''
*''"Hey! You found Farley! How could I ever thank you? I mean, I could give you this old egg, but Farley's been chewing on it and it's kinda slimy... Oh well, it's the thought that counts, right?"''


==Trivia==
=== Original Game ===
*This level's music starts out as the music from [[Sgt. Byrd's Base]], but when you enter the challenge portals, the music changes. The music from the challenge portals probably should be the real theme for Enchanted Towers.
*Due to an oversight with how ''Spyro: Year of the Dragon'' handles character themes (Sgt. Byrd's theme is set to play over the theme for any area he's loaded in, including the main section of Enchanted Towers), this realm shares its theme with [[Sgt. Byrd's Base]] for the main section of the level, instead of the level's proper theme. The realm's sub-levels (the Skateboard Park and Farley's mission) do feature the proper theme in the Greatest Hits version; in all other releases, the theme for [[Desert Ruins]] is used instead.
**In the Sep 4, 2000 prototype versions of Spyro: Year of the Dragon, this realm does feature the proper theme playing in the main part of the level.
*The skybox in this realm is an edited version of the one from [[Sunny Flight]]. The main difference is the presence of a planet with rings and satellites in the sky.
*The sounds of the rockets hitting the statue are extremely loud and distorted, and it is therefore advised to turn down the volume when doing this. This is likely an audio glitch.
*Enchanted Towers was long-rumored to have a "secret portal" within the skating area. Using the "Squid Skater" cheat, it was said that if the player jumped off a grassy ledge near the area of the exit portal and got to the top of the area's highest tower, that a secret portal would be there. This is a difficult task to accomplish, since most attempts to perform this will result in Spyro falling to his death. The claim was, of course, proven to be fake.


{{Stub}}
=== Reignited Trilogy ===
* The theme of this realm has been changed in the ''Reignited'' version of the game. It keeps the melody of Sgt. Byrd's theme (despite it playing due to a bug in the original version of  ''Spyro: Year of the Dragon''), albeit rearranged with a more "mystical" feel to the instrumentation. The familiar trumpets of Sgt. Byrd's theme have also been excluded, except when the player speaks to him in order to swap between him and Spyro.
** The proper Enchanted Towers theme still plays in the sub-levels of the realm.
* The Purple Villagers have been redesigned to resemble the stereotypical "Hipster", a person (usually with an artistic mindset) who believes that old and "retro" things are more appealing than more modern items.
* The launch pad which appears during Hunter's tutorial does not disappear again like in the original game.
* By placing Sgt. Byrd on the tallest tower within the level, and then turning to face north, it's possible to see the sub-level where Farley the Wolf is rescued far in the background.

Trivia

General

  • Enchanted Towers is the only pre-Skylanders realm where more than one character can be controlled freely, as Sgt. Byrd can also be played around the realm (but can not enter the other sub-levels).
  • It is the third of three level names in the original trilogy with the word "towers." The others being Aquaria Towers in Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, and Haunted Towers in the first Spyro game.

Original Game

  • Due to an oversight with how Spyro: Year of the Dragon handles character themes (Sgt. Byrd's theme is set to play over the theme for any area he's loaded in, including the main section of Enchanted Towers), this realm shares its theme with Sgt. Byrd's Base for the main section of the level, instead of the level's proper theme. The realm's sub-levels (the Skateboard Park and Farley's mission) do feature the proper theme in the Greatest Hits version; in all other releases, the theme for Desert Ruins is used instead.
    • In the Sep 4, 2000 prototype versions of Spyro: Year of the Dragon, this realm does feature the proper theme playing in the main part of the level.
  • The skybox in this realm is an edited version of the one from Sunny Flight. The main difference is the presence of a planet with rings and satellites in the sky.
  • The sounds of the rockets hitting the statue are extremely loud and distorted, and it is therefore advised to turn down the volume when doing this. This is likely an audio glitch.
  • Enchanted Towers was long-rumored to have a "secret portal" within the skating area. Using the "Squid Skater" cheat, it was said that if the player jumped off a grassy ledge near the area of the exit portal and got to the top of the area's highest tower, that a secret portal would be there. This is a difficult task to accomplish, since most attempts to perform this will result in Spyro falling to his death. The claim was, of course, proven to be fake.

Reignited Trilogy

  • The theme of this realm has been changed in the Reignited version of the game. It keeps the melody of Sgt. Byrd's theme (despite it playing due to a bug in the original version of Spyro: Year of the Dragon), albeit rearranged with a more "mystical" feel to the instrumentation. The familiar trumpets of Sgt. Byrd's theme have also been excluded, except when the player speaks to him in order to swap between him and Spyro.
    • The proper Enchanted Towers theme still plays in the sub-levels of the realm.
  • The Purple Villagers have been redesigned to resemble the stereotypical "Hipster", a person (usually with an artistic mindset) who believes that old and "retro" things are more appealing than more modern items.
  • The launch pad which appears during Hunter's tutorial does not disappear again like in the original game.
  • By placing Sgt. Byrd on the tallest tower within the level, and then turning to face north, it's possible to see the sub-level where Farley the Wolf is rescued far in the background.
