'''''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!''''', known as '''''Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer''''' in Europe, is the second game | '''''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!''''', known as '''''Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer''''' in Europe, is the second game of the [[Spyro (franchise)|''Spyro'' franchise]] and a sequel to ''[[Spyro the Dragon]]''. It was originally released for the [[PlayStation]] in 1999. In 2018, the first three ''Spyro the Dragon'' games, one of which is ''Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!'', were remade for ''[[Spyro Reignited Trilogy]]''. | ||
In the game, Spyro is placed in [[Avalar]], rather than the [[Dragon World]]s, where the previous installment was set. A dinosaur-riding sorcerer, known as [[Ripto]], has invaded the world of Avalar, and is wreaking havoc on its citizens with his magic. Idols come to life and attack their creators, Eskimos are encased in ice cubes, and a civilization of seahorses has had its water confiscated. Spyro must travel through the world of Avalar and undo the damage done by Ripto. Spyro and Sparx are the only two returning characters from the first game. | In the game, Spyro is placed in [[Avalar]], rather than the [[Dragon World]]s, where the previous installment was set.

In various locations throughout each level there are small creatures, such as frogs or sheep, known as [[fodder]]. When Spyro approaches them, the fodder try and escape from him. When Spyro charges or flames a fodder, it releases a [[butterfly]], which Sparx can eat to restore a unit of his health. If Sparx eats nine butterflies, the tenth one will be a blue butterfly, which grants an extra life. Blue butterflies are sometimes found in a bottle. | In various locations throughout each level there are small creatures, such as frogs or sheep, known as [[fodder]].

==Characters== | ==Characters== | ||
This game introduces new characters into the Spyro series, many of whom would appear in later games. Both Hunter and Moneybags make recurring appearances in the series, while Ripto would make more series appearances than any other antagonist, making him the key villain of the original series. The dragons of the previous installment have been replaced with an entirely new cast of characters, including fauns, satyrs, anthropomorphic animals, and robotic businessmen, among others. | This game introduces new characters into the Spyro series, many of whom would appear in later games.

=== | * '''[[Spyro the Dragon|Spyro]]''', the eager, headstrong, purple dragon and main character, now a little more experienced after his adventures in the first Spyro game. | ||
{|class="wikitable" | * '''[[Sparx]]''', Spyro's constant dragonfly companion that represents his health meter, also alowing Spyro to withstand more hits, and collects nearby gems for him. | ||
! | * '''[[Elora]]''', a faun of Avalar, and assistant to the Professor. She is friendly and wise and develops a friendship with Spyro over the course of the game. | ||
* '''[[Hunter]]''', an anthropomorphic cheetah armed with a bow and arrows who was inadvertently responsible for bringing Ripto to the realm of Avalar, during a test of the Professor's "Super-portal". In the game, Hunter teaches the player about Spyro's abilities early on and occasionally challenges Spyro to various mini-games or missions later. | |||
* '''[[Zoe]]''', a [[fairy]] who helped scatter Avalar's orbs throughout the realm to prevent Ripto from using them. Zoe appears in several locations throughout all levels and serves as a continue point should Spyro lose a life. | |||
* '''[[Moneybags]]''', an anthropomorphic bear seen in various places throughout the realm of Avalar. As his name suggests, he has a love for gems and will not hesitate to ask Spyro to "share" some of them, sometimes inventing ridiculous reasons that Spyro should agree. However, in all cases, paying Moneybags enough gems will result in access to new levels, further progress within the same level, or in some cases, a new ability for Spyro. | |||
* '''[[Professor|The Professor]]''', the creator of the "Super-portal" in Avalar. After Ripto's arrival, he created a smaller portal in the Glimmer realm to locate a dragon and bring it to Avalar. | |||
===Bosses=== | |||
*'''[[Crush]]''' is a large blue club-wielding monster who uses power-circles to unleash fearsome attacks. | |||
*'''[[Gulp]]''' is another one of Ripto's monster henchmen. He is a dinosaur-like with thick green scales and a giant pair of laser cannons on his back. Use the objects which fall from the sky to defeat him. He appears in robot form during the final boss. | |||
*'''[[Ripto]]''' is the title villain and the final boss. At the start, he was accidentally transported to Avalar, which he decides to invade because it is not inhabited by dragons. Ripto uses magical orbs to gain power-ups, and can fire projectiles from his staff. When in trouble he calls upon Gulp to help him out, and then takes to the skies on a monstrous bird for a fast-paced aerial battle. Use the orbs that Hunter drops to get new powerups. | |||
==Home Worlds== | |||
The world of Avalar is divided into three Home Worlds, each based on a particular season. Spyro can access the levels via portals. In every realm, there is a castle that, during the course of the storyline, is captured by Ripto. Each realm features a number of different worlds, a speedway world, and a dungeon with a boss. There are no spring-themed levels. Every level has 400 [[gem]]s. | |||

|[[Autumn Plains]] | |||
|The second world contains the most portals to other levels. The only notable difference between it and Summer Forest is that the leaves are autumnal colors. There is also a far more extensive series of castle ramparts and galleries. | |||

|[[Winter Tundra]] | |||
|The final Home World. This is the residence of Ripto and is also the location of the giant portal to the Dragon Realm, Spyro's true home. It is located on an alpine tundra, with a focal temple and secret caves. | |||
