[@KalebPalmer-y7q]

I would like to ask if I could use your example of the swing air glitch from the Dino mine level, in a video I’m making. I would go and get the clip myself but I let my cousin borrow all of my PlayStation games a few years ago and we don’t now want happened to them. I could download an emulator but for a 10 second clip thats going in a Palworld glitch video it’s probably not worth the time to work the whole game. Of course I would give you credit for at the end of the video. If that is alright with you.

My first Spyro game was Spyro 2 Riptos rage. I was given a PS1 when I was a kid since I had some sort of blood disease, so I had to sit still alot. So I remember me and my sisters had a blast with it. When the third one came out we just all agreed that it was the most fun one, in our opinion atleast. When the remaster came out, me and one of my sisters did a "lan" party so to speak and played trough the second and third game.

[@Jake-im2lv]

Spyro 2 was so good, there are still some lines from the characters that live in my head, rent free all these years later. I remember we rented spyro 1 but number 2 was the first one we owned.

That's because three is the best one.

[@AntlersAndAcorns]

Mine was heros tail for GameCube cuz my cousin had it 🥺🥺🥺

[@El_Fabricio]

I hope you recovered from your disease.

[@angmering5899]

I thought I was the only one who played the trilogy in reverse order! Spyro 1 always felt very weird to play for me after getting used to the last two games; especially the dash which feels way weaker and looser in 1.

[@slc2882]

I started on 2 and to this day haven’t been able to finish Spyro 1; it’s just too different it’s almost like it isn’t even in the same series (compared to 2 and 3 which are pretty similar vibes)

[@Crow_Rising]

For me as a kid it was 2, then 3, then 1. I don't think I 100%'d any of them as a kid, but I finally got around to doing it for the whole trilogy when Reignited came out on PS4, and then did it again for the Steam version.

[@resdraon]

Mine was 3. Somehow I got max completion on it as a kid but it took me till my teen years to beat 1 and 2 at all. 2 always bored me because it felt half the levels were the same or not completed.

[@pixlhound]

Yeah I did the same, my parents bought year of the dragon for my younger sister and that started me playing the rest

[@abigailklassen144]

Awesome series!!! Not using even a single frame of gliding is incredible dedication and requires so many cool workarounds. Sounds like these take a lot of effort to make and they're all excellent

[@BirchMonkey857]

Spyro: Is a dragon, design looks built for flying, can't fly normally. Sgt. Byrd: Is a penguin, can fly. EDIT: 12:40 Well yeah, undead can't cross running water.

[@329link]

I think the whole thing with spyro is that he's a runt. His wings are underdeveloped.

[@cass7448]

@@329link I thought he was just too young to fly. Same with Flame and Ember in A Hero's Tail.

[@329link]

@@cass7448 I don't know anything past the first trilogy, but I think one of the dragons in spyro 1 specifically mentioned his wings being unusually small or something.

[@catlowe92]

@@329link After the original Trilogy and 'A Hero's Tail' they released more games in another reboot trilogy ' The Legend of Spyro' and in the third title 'Dawn of the Dragon' he is older and there is a free-fly mode so it may have been more down to age I suppose

As soon as I saw the time I gasped a little

[@jordandavidson4175]

Thanks!

[@NGPlusVideos]

Thank you too 😀

[@UnbornDecay]

You madlad. I was waiting, I swore this entire video you would never enter the Super Bonus Round. And yet... you have a way in that follows the rules. God. Damn.

[@TheLonelyGoomba]

I really admire your dedication to these vides

[@MR0KITTY]

12:35 You're undead, you have wings and can't fly, and you fall through water like it's not there. You're actually playing Legacy of Kain: Soul Reaver.

[@pocketinfinity6733]

5:26 convinced that NGPlus uses a magnifying glass to look at the frames when attempting these jumps

[@ToddtrousGaming]

I missed the stream where you did cloud spires and I couldn't wrap my head around how you managed to beat it. I had no idea that glitch existed but I am glad it did. Well done Nathan.

[@kevins8071]

I absolutely love your channel. Not just for nostalgia sake, but for the patience and skill you show on these classic games. Kudos to you sir. Please keep the content coming.

[@Hidden_Fern]

Just gotta say the background/side bits are so well done, I really enjoy the subtle steam animation over the purple scales it’s so nice. The theming of them for each game is a detail I doubt everyone noticed but man do I enjoy them

[@NGPlusVideos]

Thank you, I feel they rarely ever get mentioned, but I hate wasted space. I try not to distract too much from the video though, so I keep it subtle 😁

[@Fanderman]

Thanks for the amazing content!

[@NGPlusVideos]

And thank YOU for the Super Thanks! We really appreciate it. We'd have thanked you sooner but for some reason they don't show up on mobile.

[@EvolvedPixel]

As always I am impressed by your ability to do all this, but especially your ability to read all the sub names! Bravo good sir!

[@yousefslimani99]

Thank you so much for uploading this video I was really patient about waiting of this video be uploaded!! Yet thanks again for uploading it!!

[@sad_yorick]

Thanks

[@NGPlusVideos]

Thank you very much for the £2. These Super Comments don't show on my Mobile for some reason

[@sodakuwun0707]

you played the games backwards and now im watching your spyro videos backwards. what a whimsical coincidence :)

[@SockyNoob]

The only game of the original 3 that I actually beat and have the most knowledge in, so I'll actually be able to appreciate this video even more.

[@NGPlusVideos]

Ah cool, hope it meets expectations!

[@royalsnowangel]

huzzah!!! the trilogy is now complete! some of those tricks were wild to see pulled off, and im impressed you could get as much done as you did. also you have way more patience than me to pull off those proxies and have my eternal respect XD very glad i was able to be there for the majority of the streams~

[@atlasbugged6731]

Fireworks Factory was the first thing that came to mind when I saw this video and I am so impressed how you did that, quality telly

[@shardgunner4815]

pausing 10 seconds in because SHOUT OUT YEAR OF THE DRAGON!!! Also my first Spyro game, and one of my favorite games ever to this day. Absolutely love it to pieces

[@the_dark_jumper2211]

After playing through the games dozens of times, watching Speedruns, glitch showcases and googling for skips hours on end, I'm honestly astonished how you manage to teach me a new trick with every video in this series. I'm also really impressed that you managed to do all of these tricks, because some of them are very tricky (pun intended).

[@Saxdude26]

I am genuinely curious to see these video dip into other PSone classics too, like beating Crash 1-3 without breaking ANY boxes or Abe's Oddysee without talking to a single Mudokon. It'd be interesting to see like-minded challenges in those... granted, that second one is a bad idea, as you need to at least save the first Mudokon of RuptureFarms 2 to get back in and the bird portal is in a different screen, but POINT STANDS! I'm loving these, can't wait to see more.

[@NGPlusVideos]

I'd love to be able to come up with an idea for those very games that has either not already been done, or sounds at least somewhat feasible. Thank you 😄

[@alansotigerheart3473]

When I was really young I would play games but just kinda messing around with them. I remember a gliding tutorial for one of the spyro games and would try to make the jumps without gliding. Don't think I made but one or two jumps, but it's really cool watching you play the trilogy without gliding

[@SirAnimosity]

I’m having an absolute blast playing the remastered version and I love seeing the original. They really did it justice and kept it true to the original.

[@DrGriff]

Watching you complete all these levels on stream and then seeing it come together is really awesome. Great video!

[@gnbman]

Spyro 3 was my first video game (along with SpongeBob SquarePants: Super Sponge, which I received at the same time). It forever colored my gaming experience, and I still can't help but hold any game I've played since to the standard it set. The order I played the trilogy in was 3, 1, 2.

[@MrPSolver]

Such a well edited/narrated video!! Quite inspiring to watch :)

[@Z3ZP]

I completely missed this upload!! Glad I checked your channel randomly to finish the trilogy.

[@J.T.Lovecraft]

@NGPlus great video! however you dont need to perform a zombie glitch in seashell shores to reach sheilas level, you can simply go on the side wall and face spyros back towards the ledge you want to get on top of, as you jump turn him towards the ledge and the twist of his animation should give him slightly more height than a normal jump

[@Shero1337]

Wow I thought for sure the fight against the 2 dragons would have been impossible, brilliant video!

[@mcrsit]

Guys this was incredible. Your ingenuity and skills are top notch! Really loved this Spyro trilogy, can't wait for the next one!

[@Staticjokes]

Best game in the series! Great video & such a fun channel

[@TheSpongyMallard]

These type of challenge videos are so much more interesting than, "beat ____ game with ____ weapon".

[@FatalSteven]

Such an underrated gem of a channel! I love your "can you beat series"

[@mutt4570]

This is my favorite spyro game it was also my first introduction to the series I love your vids and am so glad you did this game!

[@planescaped]

I found the third game kind of lacking compared to the first two personally.

[@mutt4570]

@@planescaped In every aspect you are probably right, but personally my brother played the third with me the most so it keeps a special place in my heart

[@SheepShade]

Love your Videos. Sadly I've never finished any Spark (got the reignited trilogy but never got past lvl 3 in spyro 1) Hope you'll continue to find these crazy challenges. Rayman 2 is my favorite video of yours.

[@NGPlusVideos]

Thanks, I've already started Rayman 3 on Twitch 😁

[@GrumpoNeo]

I remember doing the Frozen Altars proxy jump by accident once, and I've never been able to do it since!

[@wilhelm0]

YES IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO. So much love from me

[@Mister_Clean]

I respect the wide array of glitches used to complete this challenge. It'd a nice spin on these types of videos.

[@drywalltele9435]

this was my like overwhelming memory of this era of gaming (along with hit and run) and i love it for its gameply and nostalgia thank you!

[@lewisarmitage9020]

After how close the other 2 games were, it's cool to see this one's possible. Great videos!

[@dragroch5536]

24:40 Even though I've 100 percent completed that level (My all-time favourite spyro level), I didn't even think of freezing rhynocs to get on higher areas. That is real neat!

[@dragroch5536]

I mean, completed in normal means with gliding and all of course.

[@pugilat123456]

Congratulation ! So fun to watch too

Thanks for killing my boredom again !

[@outofideasexe]

For the past 7 or 8 months I've been watching you grow as a channel and can't wait for this channel to blow up because more people should be able to watch these videos

[@fowoppy6336]

absolutely smashing

[@LinkleMcA]

Everyone is talking about how cool of a run this is but I can't believe NGPlus learned a single-frame trick just to play the Spyro trilogy wrong. /s Loved this series! Really interesting take on the classic Spyro games!

[@NGPlusVideos]

Seems like a running theme, I learned a single-frame trick to play Dark Souls very wrong 😅 Thank you

[@celcowhite]

Spyro 2 was my first game ever, but Spyro 3 is my all-time favorite. Some of my best memories growing up are trying to play the games with my grandma helping me hold the controller, and I credit the series for making me want to be a game developer. When the Reignited trilogy came out, the games finally looked how I remembered them looking when I was a little kid.

[@screenwatcher949]

best spyro video ive ever seen thank you

[@Crowned_Hearts]

The amount of proxies you used in dire moments feel like an anime character pulling another random upgrade out of their asses.

[@T1redCr0w]

OMG! YAS IM NOT THE ONLY ONE! I also played the trilogy in reverse order as a kid and thought this was the first game for the longest time.

[@bag00nga]

First Spyro game I ever played and it's by far my favourite, loved seeing you tackle this trilogy glideless!

[@ryandixon8202]

@@NGPlusVideos yeah I figured as much. More in awe on the time taken to learn the tricks :)

[@nugboy420]

@@NGPlusVideos I also have been playing the game since finishing watching this haha so I might have to figure out some tricks you did once I get acclimated again. Do you know of any differences between the original and the remaster?

[@NGPlusVideos]

I would say that a vast majority of the glitches in this video don't work in the remaster. Since they're on different engines and all

[@nugboy420]

@@NGPlusVideos I think so too. However I have gotten similar results as shown in the video when getting jammed between the wall and an enemy or something. Where it pushes Spyro in weird ways lol.

[@cricket-the-hivewing396]

these videos are so satisfying. congratulations 👏 on this achievement i can't imagine how many attempts the tricks took you. i wasn't expecting you to beat the game but you did and got a really high completion rate. the original Spyro games are special to me and to many so to see them played completely different was fun.

[@NeatChill]

So spyro, you’re telling me you can’t fly anymore? Or even glide? You can just jump? How on earth are you going to get about then? Spyro: …. Swim

[@AriochStarr]

I've been waiting for this video for so long! My first Spyro game was also Year of the Dragon and naturally it is my favourite of the trilogy.

Wow, I'm also one of the few people who played Spyro 3 first and later Spyro 2, because all I knew was there was this cool looking game named "Spyro: Year of the Dragon". You've done amazing work implementing all sorts of strategies here, well done!

[@Kryptonite-b2x]

This was also my first Spyro game, I knew there were games after it, but I didn't know about the two games prior. I didn't have a memory card, so I never got far. I always had to start over and never got past the first home world. I never beat it until the Reignited Trilogy but I still adored it. I would get up early and play it while eating gummy worms for breakfast. It's one of my favorite memories and will always hold a special place in my heart

Been waiting for you to do Year Of The Dragon, as that was also the first one I played! When KZbin recommended me your first Spyro video a while ago I read the title and thought "Pft, no of course you can't, that is the whole point of the game". But I clicked anyway, and boy was I wrong haha.

Fun fact: This is the first video in this series I watched. I kept seeing this in my recommended and decided to watch it later. Today I went ahead and watched it not realizing that this was the third episode in the series. Since the thumbnails were so similar, I never noticed that the games were changing every time it appeared in my recommended. I will watch the Ripto's Rage video next before finishing the series off with the Spyro the Dragon one. Just to mimic your backwards playthrough of the series.

[@videogamechallengerunz8588]

My my, so many cool strats in this run!! Love your dedication. If you're looking for something to watch while editing or something, DrRank is running these games with no charging. Maybe not so many glitches and strats required, but a good watch!
