Trivia

General

  • This level contains the highest number of gems in the original trilogy, at 5,000. The second-largest amount of gems to be recovered is Gnasty's Loot from Spyro the Dragon, with 2,000.
  • In all versions of the game except for the Greatest Hits version, Lost Fleet uses this realm's theme music. In the Greatest Hits version and in the Reignited Trilogy, Lost Fleet has its own theme, using a slightly remixed version of the one used in Sheila's Alp.
  • The Sorceress' castle arena in this realm is one of three boss battles to contain a portal that leads back to the main realm. The others are Bluto in Seashell Shore and the Twin Fire Dragons in Fireworks Factory.
    • One of the buildings outside of the arena in the original game seems to have a "portal". Reaching it via hacking reveals that it is nothing but a solid wall, however.
  • This is one of the only realms in the series to contain a combo Superfly / Superflame power-up, the others being Fireworks Factory and Metropolis from Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!.
  • Hunter will appear in this realm's sublevels, even if he's still trapped in the cage in Evening Lake. This is due to the fact that it's impossible to enter this level under normal means prior to freeing Hunter, so no scenario where he's still trapped is present in the game.
  • If the Lost Gem Glitch should happen, and/or if one cannot obtain the egg in Honey Speedway, then this realm can only be accessed with a cheat.

Original Game

  • This is one of the only levels in the original series to not use the level's skybox in the loading screen when the player enters its portal. The level's skybox features snowy mountains with purple ooze and a darker sky while the loading screen uses Sunrise Spring's skybox. Another example of this is Harbor Speedway.
  • In prototypes of Year of the Dragon, the Super Bonus Worlds entry in the Altas is written as "Super Bogus Worlds", in what is assumed to be classic Insomniac Games humor rather than a typo.
  • The original location of the Super Bonus Round portal was going to be next to the unreachable island in Midnight Mountain, and Spyro would have been able to reach it via a whirlwind that activates after beating the Sorceress. However, late in development the portal was moved and the whirlwind was removed, leaving behind the inaccessible island with its unobtainable extra lives. Contrary to popular belief, though, the whirlwind does not exist as an unused asset in the final game - it was entirely removed. Mods have been able to replicate what this may have looked like, though.[1]
    • This whirlwind was re-implemented in the Reignited Trilogy, but the portal is still in the same place as it was in the original version.

Reignited Trilogy

  • This is the only realm in the game to not have an achievement/trophy reward associated with it.
  • Below the starting area has an exit portal that cannot be used to leave the level because it was placed under the point where Spyro starts.
