Speedway

Speedways, originally named flights, are a recurring type of location in the Spyro franchise. They are levels that involve Spyro, or Sgt. Byrd in Spyro: A Hero's Tail, having to glide around the area, fulfilling specific tasks within a short time limit.

List of Speedways per game

Spyro the Dragon (game)

In Spyro the Dragon, every world has a speedway level with the exception of Gnorc Gnexus. Unlike other levels, speedways are not immediately accessible and require Spyro to unlock it by performing a certain task, such as shooting a rock or solving a platform puzzle. Some dragons even tell Spyro where he can find these levels. Every flight level has their own set of four or five objectives, which Spyro must complete within a short time limit. An objective is usually completed when Spyro destroys or glides through eight of something, such as destroying eight treasure chests or trying through eight rings. Another second is added to the timer for every hoop or arch that Spyro glides through. If time runs out or if Spyro crashes or drowns, he loses the level. A dialogue is then displayed, and it gives the player the option to restart the level. Flights are the only levels that have no dragons to rescue.

Each time Spyro completes a task in a flight level, he receives 60 gems. At the end, Spyro earns a total of 300 gems. He can still retry any flight level that he has completed, although the timer counts upward rather than down, turning the flight level into a time trial. Spyro does not gain any additional jewels if he clears the flight level again (a tick is displayed in the Round Results dialogue box to indicate that the tasks were completed).

Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!

In Ripto's Rage!, speedways are similar to those of the first game, except each speedway has a secret Hunter challenge that can be completed for orbs, alongside gems.

Spyro: Year of the Dragon

In Year of the Dragon, the speedways are different. Each speedway is hosted by Sparx, and you are given the choice of the traditional Time Attack or a Race. Time Attack is similar to the previous games, except gems are now earned instantaneously from destroying obstacles, and Spyro cannot add seconds to the timer. The race is when you have to race against a group of characters from the speedway, such as pilots or giant butterflies. As with the previous game, Hunter is hiding around in each speedway with a hidden challenge. Completing each challenge will earn the player up to three Dragon Eggs per speedway.

In the PAL and non-Greatest Hits versions of the game, all speedways share the same theme, although the first three speedways are given new themes in the Greatest Hits version.

Spyro: Season of Ice

In Season of Ice, the speedways are very different. Each object that must be passed through or each enemy that must be destroyed will come at you one at a time. If you miss one thing in any category, you cannot go back to get it unless you restart the speedway. Each speedway is concluded with a mini-boss battle, each mini-boss being a dragon similar to the Twin Fire Dragons from the Fireworks Factory, where the dragons have long bodies that are divided into circular sections that can be destroyed until only the head is left.

Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly

In Enter the Dragonfly, speedways are similar to Year of the Dragon as Sparx once again hosts the speedways and you can choose whether to do a Time Attack or Race. However, in this game, speedways appear as minigames and can be accessed through portals in realms. These speedways do not contain hidden Hunter challenges.

Spyro: A Hero's Tail

In A Hero's Tail, you now play as Sgt. Byrd in speedways. There are four speedways; one for each realm. Like in the previous games, you have to destroy enemies and objects and go through rings to win. Beating the speedway the first time earns a Dragon Egg, while the second time, it earns you a Light Gem.
