Home World
Home Worlds[1][2][3][4] are a recurring type of location in the Spyro franchise. They serve as hub levels that allow Spyro and other characters to access the different realms through the use of portals. 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[edit]
In 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 Eggs or gems he has collected.
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage![edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
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[edit]
In Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly, there is only one home world, the Dragon Realms.
Spyro: A Hero's Tail[edit]
In Spyro: A Hero's Tail, there are four home worlds, which are a lot larger than in Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly.
