'''Home Worlds'''<ref>''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!'' instruction booklet, page 14.</ref><ref>''Spyro: Year of the Dragon'' instruction booklet, page 7.</ref><ref>''Spyro: Season of Ice'' instruction booklet, page 10.</ref><ref>''Spyro 2: Season of Flame'' instruction booklet, page 7.</ref> are a recurring type of location in the [[Spyro (franchise)|''Spyro'' franchise]]. They serve as hub levels that allow [[Spyro]] and other characters to access the different [[realm]]s through the use of [[portal]]s. Besides serving as a hub, home worlds are otherwise identical to realms in that Spyro can freely explore them to search for collectibles that add to the game's [[completion]] total. In most games, home worlds also have a portal that leads to a [[speedway]] level.

===''Spyro the Dragon''===

In ''[[Spyro the Dragon (game)|Spyro the Dragon]]'', their first appearance, each home world had a certain type of [[dragon]] inhabiting the area, and are named after the type of dragon living there. Unlike in subsequent games, Spyro is not necessarily required to defeat a boss in order to unlock the following home world. There is a [[Balloonist]] in each homeworld, and they allow Spyro to travel to the next homeworld depending on how many dragons he has freed and how many [[Dragon Egg]]s or [[gem]]s he has collected.

===''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!''===

In ''[[Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!]]'', there are three home worlds: [[Summer Forest]], [[Autumn Plains]], and [[Winter Tundra]]—themed after the seasons of summer, autumn, and winter respectively. Spring is the only season to not be associated with a home world. The game introduced a few changes to the home worlds that would become standard in subsequent ''Spyro'' titles: the exclusion of enemies and Spyro having to defeat the homeworld's boss before he can progress to the next home world.

Unlike other games, ''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!'' does not start in a home world, but rather the first level, [[Glimmer]], which is even referenced in the game's European title, ''Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer''.

===''Spyro: Year of the Dragon''===

In ''[[Spyro: Year of the Dragon]]'', there are four home worlds—[[Sunrise Spring]], [[Midday Gardens]], [[Evening Lake]], and [[Midnight Mountain]]—and they are based on a different time of day each. They serve as a central area within the [[Forgotten Realms]]. Besides this, home worlds otherwise serve the same purpose as in ''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!''.

===''Spyro: Season of Ice''===

In ''[[Spyro: Season of Ice]]'', there are four home worlds, each named and themed after a season, like with ''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!''. Each home world is inhabited by a type of [[fairy]] corresponding to one of the four seasons. Unlike ''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!'', there is home worlds themed after spring, the [[Spring Fairy Home]].

===''Spyro 2: Season of Flame''===

In ''[[Spyro 2: Season of Flame]]'', there are three home worlds, and each of them are named after a sky setting.

===''Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly''===

In ''[[Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly]]'', there is only one home world, the [[Dragon Realms]].

===''Spyro: A Hero's Tail''===

In ''[[Spyro: A Hero's Tail]]'', there are four home worlds, which are a lot larger than in ''Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly''.
