Story
In Spyro 3, the dragons are celebrating the coming of dragon eggs, an event that takes place every twelve years. A mysterious anthropomorphic rabbit girl, Bianca, along with an army of rhynocs, comes by and steals all the eggs. Spyro, Sparx, and Hunter must now follow her down a rabbit hole to the other side of the world - to the Forgotten Realms to challenge Bianca, the rhynoc army, and their powerful queen, the Sorceress (Spyro ).
Gameplay
![[icon]](/wiki/File:Wiki_letter_w_cropped.svg){kind=small} | This section needs expansion. You can help by adding to it. |
Mini-Games
There they meet many new allies, which are also playable characters - Sheila the kangaroo, Sgt. Byrd the flying, missile-shooting penguin, Bentley the kindly yeti, and Agent 9 the hyperactive, laser-wielding monkey, as well as a brand-new foe: the Sorceress. The worlds are Sunrise Spring, Midday Garden, Evening Lake, and Midnight Mountain. The worlds are named after times of the day, as opposed its predessor which the worlds were named after seasons. Sunrise Spring, as well as being a time of the day, is the season missed out in Spyro 2. The third installment of the Spyro series also feature levels in which the player controls Sparx in a bird's eye view shooting game. The player also gets to control Hunter in several hidden minigames. Spyro and his new friends must find out why the Sorceress stole the eggs, what she plans to do with them, and how to stop her. This game is host to one of the most infamous glitches in the series: in Sunrise Spring, if you exit the Mushroom Speedway level without getting the second egg there (in the Butterfly Race), then you will not be able to get that egg unless you start over from scratch, thus preventing a player from getting a full completion in the game. -->
Trivia
- The first production run of Spyro: Year of the Dragon featured holographic artwork on the case cover.
- Several of the skateboarding tricks in the Tony Hawk-esque minigame, are named after various Spyro antagonists (such as Gnasty Gnorc).
- Cutscenes in on level, the "Fireworks Factory", parody The Matrix. An optional mission in the same level, "You're Doomed!", also parodies DOOM.
