Spyro 3 Year of the Dragon - All 3 versions of the Sorceress boss

[@vyxed8059]

6:20 I love the buildup to George hatching and then the boss music plays. We all know George is the real threat.

[@WookieOwner]

I love it how in all 3 battles Agent 9 is standing right behind The Sorceress as she's coming out of the lava and not doing anything

[@heresacaterpillarifoundinm8679]

That's cause he just used the same clip for the 3 battles. He just edited different music over them

[@WookieOwner]

@@heresacaterpillarifoundinm8679 It's not just that. It's also funny he's just standing there as the Sorceress is coming out of the lava right in front of him

[@Beelze_Bubbles]

Thank goodness I ended up getting the greatest hits version because Sunrise Spring's theme would have seriously ruined the immersion of me kicking the Sorceress's booty!

[@fizzyfuzz5878]

That was me. I first played the immersion free version.

[@ultraexcalibur1728]

@@fizzyfuzz5878 I feel sorry for you man...

[@aaron_aj_knight_95]

I actually have a colored copy which has the fixed soundtrack.

[@Harmonyya1992]

the first version, sounds like the sorceress doesn't have her own theme

[@Pyrobaconstudios]

The pal version made the right choice of reused track.(since i presume the sorceress not having a proper final boss theme initially was due to the game being rushed)

[@energeticlute3396]

It did not makes sense. The sorceress theme was already on the disc, so why did they decide to reuse Spike's Theme?

[@franks8010]

I can't believe Agent 9 was standing right there witnessing the Sorceress escape and yet he didn't say a word to anybody.

[@justdexMUSIC]

Me: **Collects all eggs** cant wait to hear some epic music Spyro n****S: lol nah **plays Sunrise Spring**

[@cybremystica93]

The PAL music is the best to me

[@shippy1991]

I like the PAL version the best because it's the one I'm used to. Why they used Sunrise Spring in the NTSC version I don't know.

[@YFourteen]

I completely agree.

[@artbytesia]

It was probably because they had to hurry to release the game in 2000, the actual Year of the Dragon. So for the PAL version, they re-used some music themes for other levels (Seashell Shore for Crystal Islands, Cloud Spires for Haunted Tomb, Molten Crater for Dino Mines, and so on). However, for other versions (such as the Greatest Hits version), they were able to make time for Stewart Copeland to make more music tracks.

[@BagzAndPresident]

Shouldve used GNasty's Theme

[@amunve]

is a bug that is fixed only in ntsc greatest hills probably in reignited trilogy all level have greatest hits music

[@MrGamesendy]

Greatest hits track for me is the best in fact I think it's the best music of all the bosses in the Spyro trilogy, sunrise spring despite being good for nostalgia does not work at all, strange the Sorcerers makes a roar in the pal version I have the greatest hits for europe and she doesn't let out a roar when you hit her.

[@YFourteen]

***** The video was taken in the Greatest Hits NTSC version of the game and I just dubbed in the songs. That's why the Sorceress roars.

[@MrGamesendy]

YFourteen Kk.

[@Sledgex3]

if only developers had more time to finish this game. Imagine if Sorceress could have multiple phases like Ripto, where in each one you play all playable characters to help Spyro. Heck, maybe even Bianca could join the fight as well and reveal her betrayal.

[@thisisawsome34253212]

I'm so glad that the remake used the Greatest Hits version of this. It wouldn't make any sense otherwise.

[@cookiesontoast9981]

Wow.. i never knew the original NTSC version used Sunrise Springs theme.. it kind of works but it's weird, i grew up with the PAL version of this game so i always associate Spikes Arena's song with this fight, i think it fits the best and makes it sound the most dangerous and serious, i don't hate the new song Copeland made for this fight but i would always rather have Spikes Arena's song.

[@cookiesontoast9981]

DeltaGem Calling me a fool is just stupid just for stating a music track preference, also no that's not what happened, there were no glitches, it was because 1: the game was rushed and Copeland hadn't even finished some tracks by the time it released and 2: Because the PS1 discs they were using originally didn't have enough space to fit all the tracks anyway.

[@BagzAndPresident]

link to the theme?

[@Typhoon_Lex]

@DeltaGem Dude. Chill out, ever heard of an opinion before?

[@Dracomut]

For some reason, I had the original NTSC version and it indeed used the Sunrise Springs theme... Once. Later when I played through the game again it used the proper music and it has done so for every play through I have had since. I don't know if its a glitch that it played in the first place or its a glitch that fixed it.

[@KatOwO2235]

ok, I'm glad that there was music change in later versions because Sunrise Springs theme was the worst choice they picked for The Sorceress' battle, literally does not sound like battle music at all, doesn't fit, just makes the music sound stupid, using Spike's theme when they recycled music was the better option as that was battle music and works for both battles, the greatest hits soundtrack of all 3 games was used in the collector's edition boxset, and having separate music for every level was the best update as the Sorceress got one of the best battle music tracks ever in Spyro 3, if I had to rate the boss battle music tracks of Spyro 3, it'd be number 4: Spike, number 3: Scorch (every music track is orchestral with a hip hop beat, the battle tracks in Spyro 3 are a mix of orchestral and battle with a hip hop beat, Scorch is the only one with the most genres combined being orchestral, battle, and horror with a hip hop beat), number 2: Buzz because he's got the most memorable and catchiest of them all, and number 1: The Sorceress because of how epic, memorable, and how catchy it is

[@fruitlion8]

When I saw someone Speedrun this game via an emulator, I thought the Sunrise Spring music in this boss was a glitch, as my original PAL game had the correct music. Now that I see the music was as intended for NTSC... What a terrible design choice.

[@ultraexcalibur1728]

It wasn't a choice, it was glitched out of the game and was corrected in the Greatest Hits release

[@danniemadsen1996]

It seems to me like the PAL versions of the games are always the best. Almost like the PAL games are the ones that Insomniac used the most time on, seeing as the music fits better in the levels in PAL. It seems like the other versions were just thrown together.

[@ratchetclank_fan971]

Dannie Madsen Except for Spyro 2 the NTSC version was better.

[@dragonheart81vids]

I don't know, personally I do prefer the re-used tracks because the Greatest Hits ones feel a little...bland? like, Molten Crater feels attuned to the gunslinging excitement of Dino Mines, Seashell Shore adds to the mysticism of Crystal Islands, and Harbor Speedway, despite being repetitive, still seems to pump you up for fast-paced action every time. pretty much the only new track I think fits better is Evening Lake. eh, opinions.

[@dragonheart81vids]

I've done all I can to appreciate the new themes but I just can't pull through. Might be nostalgia, as you said, but I've tried playing the Greatest Hits version myself, watched multiple Let's Plays involving the newer tracks, and listened to said tracks on their lonesome, and I really can't enjoy them at all. IMO, Seashell Shore kind of gave an interesting outlook on Crystal Islands, I could feel a connection (like, obviously not just because there's water there, but I felt that they both had a kind of mysticism about them), and Cloud Spires-for-Haunted Tomb provided an eerie and airy feel to the mysterious ancient catacombs. Dino Mines just sounded kind of calm and casual for a gunslinging shoot-out level, and the 'whooping' of Molten Crater fit with the fast-paced action. Honey Speedway is probably the only newer speedway track I do like--the aesthetic fits okay. But I can't remember what the others sound like at all. Can't hold them in my head, can't fixate on them. The skateboard music in the Towers was nice too. like, as much as I enjoyed these games I didn't fixate on them _that_ much...I played other games far more. Not to sound rude, but not every opinion on a 'classic' game may be nostalgia-clouded.

[@RiordanLadyGaga]

torn- B-I-a-S ngl...trying to be nom-biased here...bur i agree with you mostly tbh. I hear everything you're saying. Maybe it's nostalgia but through the Greatest Hits, some just do not fit for me either

[@nesoukkefka1741]

Greatest Hits sound like a song from Ratchet and Clank

[@archerdark7524]

I realize exactly this.

[@GANGST]

@@archerdark7524 Well it is the same devs after all.

[@theskull4106]

The last tune is the best for the sorceress

[@BagzAndPresident]

V 1.0 is best because the first fight isn’t the final, false sense of security.

[@LUKEY-ud6fs]

I think version 3 will be in the Spyro remake for this boss fight and not the first 2 versions.

[@sparkus4229]

LUKEY 1993 Exactly!

[@johnpinto8299]

Good ol sunrise spring

[@AmariFukui]

PAL feels way more suited to this I still had PTSD from Spike who basically made this song twice as imposing by association and it was already a good song

[@derylpina1999]

Can wait to see Music NTSC With Sorceress Fair Reignited Trilogy

[@BagzAndPresident]

Sunrise Springs fits because it isnt really the final battle. A false sense of security. Once you get the super bonus round then WABAM a stronger theme should play

[@BooiestOfBabas]

I had the first version of this game

[@alainsalmeron2540]

I'm sorry Spyro, but you seem to be playing a hacked version of this game. This may be an Illegal copy. Since this copy has been modified, you may experience problems that would not occur on a legal copy.

[@RiordanLadyGaga]

In all honesty, her Greatest Hits music SUCKS. My PAL version with Spike's music suited her best out of all the released version. However, they should have just give her Buzz's Dungeon's music. By far the best and most end-game boss music of the entire trilogy

[@heresacaterpillarifoundinm8679]

Bruh all these battles are just the same clip with different music edited over them

[@DatShepTho]

Lmao yeah, but at least it kinda compares what the battle sounds like with each song used in each version

[@superepic9336]

Sunrise spring theme really

[@mushroomhead3619]

She's not very talkative in battle except for that weird alien scream.

[@theopponent9806]

In the PAL version, shes completely mute

[@liamroberts1458]

I have the PAL version, and The Sorceress doesn't make a sound when she gets shot. It's eerie.

[@YFourteen]

I think if I remember right when I made this I reused the same clip for all three versions

[@liamroberts1458]

@@YFourteen Ah, so you put in the BGM afterwards. Gotcha.

[@SegaNintendoGuy64]

I prefer the pal version when Spike's theme is playing while Spyro is up against the Sorcerers.

[@Father_of_Death]

The Sunrise Springs theme doesn't work for this realm.

[@jboao]

Whoa I never had a version where sunrise springs, or the other boss music, played, but holy shit hearing it throws me for a curve.. why the fuck would they do that? Also I hated the redesign of the flying saucer, and the sorceress in reignited. She was much more menacing in the original game, but she was harder to beat in the remake.

[@brandonmacdonald5896]

sourceress is just jealous spyro is much stronger then she is and pfft shes a queen? ya okay lol
