Dino Mines

Dino Mines is a realm in Midnight Mountain which is based 200 years ago. Filled with Dinosaurs as the title suggests, you'll need to take them down in this western style level, and help the sheriff reclaim the town. Agent 9 will also be there to help out. There is also a Swim in the air glitch in this level, which can lead to a strange floating portal inaccessible without the glitch, presumed to have been an early mini boss stage.

Trivia

• In the PAL version of the game, the background music is replaced by the music used for Molten Crater.
• Using the "swimming in the air" glitch, you can access an empty arena. It is unknown why it was created, but some think that a Bailey gang boss was supposed to be here, but the creators decided to remove it, but left the arena here.
  • This may be linked to why Insomniac Games President Ted Price mentioned Spyro not having hands and unable to hold a gun and why there is an Agent 9 shooting level. The arena was probably meant for Spyro to fight the Bailey gang with a gun or weapon of some sort, but then creators realized Spyro couldn't do, so they must've scrapped the idea and instead made an Agent 9 level similar.
• The person in the WANTED posters around the realm is Dan Johnson, an Insomniac employee famous for his in-game camero appearance.
  • Also, one of the dragons found in this world is named Dan.
