Swim in the air is a famous Glitch in the original Spyro games.
In all of the console games except Spyro the Dragon (where Spyro cannot swim), it is possible to let Spyro swim freely through the whole level, in some cases reaching a Collision Free (Non Solid Wall) version of the level, after swimming straight up for a long period of time, sometimes around 10 minutes. How to perform this feat varies with games and levels, but here are the most common ways to get the glitch working -
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon
In Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! and Spyro: Year of the Dragon, it is possible to use this glitch in two ways mainly.
- Requires Headbash. Reach an area not usually accessible on high ground. Glide outside the level, and headbash just under some shallow water. If done correctly, Spyro will begin to swim just underneath the water.
- Sometimes, if Spyro is zapped by Zoe when he's underwater, once he is defeated he will reappear near her, but instantly swimming.
Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer
Summer Forest: ([1])
Idol Springs: (see video link)
Sunny Beach: Talk to the Chef, then sneak around the corner of the turtle yard to the pool on the left, if successful, you should be in the pool, dive underwater and swim close to the wall by the turtle yard, if it works the turtles will come and you will return to the Chef underwater.
Breeze Harbour: Go to the second fire paddle to the step on the way in and dive into it, you will be swimming in the air. The game will freeze if you get hit, though this does not happen in the other levels.
Spyro: Year of the Dragon
Bamboo Terrace: Go to the waterfall and dive down at the edge.
Evening lake: Go into fireworks factory jump on the lava, when you jump on when sparx is gone press pause when spyro's tail touches the lava and you should feel it vibrate, pause and exit the level and swim out of the water and you should be swimming.
Midday Gardens:
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly
In Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, the game acts differently when the glitch is performed. Headbashing high nearby the water, yet still on the ground will sometimes cause Spyro to swim freely without even touching the water itself.
Spyro: A Hero's Tail
Spyro: A Hero's Tail is the least glitchy for swimming. In Dragonfly Falls, after wall jumping up the two stumps, Spyro can actually fall through them if placed close enough on the stump. Turn him around, dive under and Spyro can swim freely through the level.
