Revision as of 16:01, November 17, 2011
A list of stuff that shows reference to ether the series or the music. Many stuff in the Ratchet & Clank series are also Spyro references.
TV Shows
- The composer of the first four Spyro games, Stewart Copeland, used a remix of the theme of Wizard Peak to use as the main theme of The Amanda Show. Some parts of the theme of Ice Cavern also got into the show's theme.
- Spyro himself had a small cameo in South Park, in the episode You Have 0 Friends. (?)
Video Games
Ratchet & Clank
- Mutiple references to Dan Johnson are in this series. This recurring gag started in Ripto's Rage, where Johnson's face can be seen on the coins in the fountain in Mystic Marsh.
- A cutscene in Ratchet & Clank: Up Your Arsenal shows Big Al trying to teach Captain Qwark that 2 + 2 is 4 (Qwark stating that "his mind never flows with brilliant concepts. This is baised off one of the pages in the Epilogue in Ripto's Rage, where the Professor was trying to teach Crush with a similar question.
- In Ratchet: Deadlocked, an unseen character has the same name as Agent Zero.
- One of the worlds in the series is called Metropolis, which is also the name of a world in Ripto's Rage.
- Like Spyro, Ratchet's voice actor in his debut game did not reprise the role in the sequal.
- Elora shares the same Engish voice actress as Courtney Gears. Both are voiced by Melissa Disney.
- Zephyr is assumed to have gotten his name from a world in the Spyro series.
- The skylines in each planet in the Ratchet series are similar to the ones in the worlds in the Spyro series.
- Secret Agent Clank and the upcoming All 4 One have more than two playable characters, since Captain Qwark is playable in the former, and is set to be playable again in the latter. The main antagonist in the seires, Dr. Nefarious, is also set to be playable in the latter game. The two games might be a possible referance to Spyro: Year of the Dragon, since it's the first game in the Spyro series to have more than one playable character, and the first game that Sparx and Hunter were playable in. The latter game could also be a referance to Crash Twinsanity, since the series protagonist (Ratchet) and antagonist (Nefarious) are both playable and forced to work together.
Other
- In Crash Twinsanity, Spyro made a cameo, where he torched the Three N's (N. Tropy, N. Brio and N. Gin) away from the treasure room because he "might want his gems back". His A Hero's Tail model is used as that game was released at around the same time Twinsanity was.
- In an ad for Ty the Tasmanian Tiger, Spyro the Dragon appeared in a hospital wing alongside Crash Bandicoot and Sonic the Hedgehog, where they were all wearing casts. Ty comes into the ward and frightens the trio.
