Cloud Spires is a bright level with beautiful towers and buildings set against a dark sky with high cliffs in the background, surrounded by solid, white clouds. The residents are of an unknown species, dressed in blue robes, with small wings, flat tails, and a headdress similar in structure to their cloud generator.

[[Moneybags]] can be found by a bellows with no activation button, and he is willing activate it for [[Spyro the Dragon (character)|Spyro]], in exchange for a small fee of gems, of course.
 
There are two challenge areas. One is accessed via a [[whirlwind]] that appears when Spyro gets the egg from Fluffy at the end of the realm. In this area, Spyro has to help wake up a Rain Cloud by driving demons out of bell towers using a Superfly [[Powerup]]. In the other area, accessed by a nearby doorway, Spyro must guide three sun seeds into a pot of lava so that they can be fused into a sun.
