Spyro 1 - Alpine Ridge

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

Spyro the Dragon is a damn near perfect game. Great controls, beautiful graphics, great level design.

[@Termina2018]

This statement remains true, even after years later. 👍

[@neonspec]

Timeless classic collectathon platformer

[@MR-GAME-N-WATCH]

Dude please don't hurt me

[@jacktrevino1108]

The remaster is ok tho, im kinda glad I waited 20 years to replay this nostalgia gem

[@FerrariCarr]

Those huge beasts that the little witches used to ride on scared the hell out of me as a kid.

[@LookingTheBest]

lol... so bad, and to top it off a dragon you free mocks you with the comment "your not afraid of Monsters are you?" i was like hell yeah lmao

[@glogirl93]

I used to be so terrified of those giant yellow beasts when I was little. Their half closed eyes and teeth always freaked me out, especially when they collapsed on the ground after you killed them. I especially hated it when they would rear up on two legs at you while roaring in the air. If you notice at the very beginning of the level, the beast that's right after the first dragon you save is roaring at you all the way from that long distance as soon as you land. When you turn to the right you can see him roaring and stomping his feet at you from far away. It really freaks me out, like how can he see you when you're not even close to him yet? Maybe I'm just imagining it, but while listening to this song closely enough, I can almost hear the sound of those big, noisy, gigantic awful beasts roaring at me in the background.

[@TMWMF]

Couldn't finish the level because of them.

[@Hulan92]

Its probably the bass that makes you hear the roar, I kinda hear it too

[@redcloudlazzie3913]

What are you talking about, I always thought they were adorable! Especially the one just chilling in the pen sleeping, he was so cute. I always felt bad about having to kill them.

[@MultiOwyn]

Well. I usually lower the sound effects volume to off, so, all I'd hear is just this track, and it's alternate variation.

[@Glarblenuck]

They look badass now in the Reignited Trilogy. A lot of the first Spyro game was creepy in my opinion, and I think it was because of the low poly graphics the game had.

[@ThePhantomKing]

When Stewart Copeland brought his brotha side out.

[@thatsnotwhatiasked]

For me, this is the best track of the game. When I was younger my Spyro disc became a little scratchy (as discs did), and a few of the tracks wouldnt play, this level included. From then on there was something elusive about this particular track, and upon hearing it years later, I remember why I missed it so much.

[@basilishot336]

mine did that too. with tree tops, magic crafters, dream weavers, high caves and others they’d skip mid song sadly.

[@mcalpha3]

Playing this level throughout my childhood I never realised how amazing this track really was.

[@LookingTheBest]

i know, in fact the firat game had the best soundtrack out of them all

[@jubjub444]

I love how the green and blue wizards fight in this level...you can see that there is hatred not just towards you...pretty cool.

[@SabotSender]

I feel like climbing a mountain to this song. Just pop in earbuds and climb away.

[@MC3520]

The huge creatures on this level that trample you remind me of that old show Maggy and the Ferocious Beast. The beast looks like them sort of.

[@basilishot336]

did anyone notice that one platform with the two wizard things i think that were attacking each other? younger me found it unreasonably funny for some reason.

[@gravijiga]

@NintendanGX I LOVED the weird "wuuuuuyy" Noise. I would let them swing at me just to hear it and laugh

[@snipervixen5843]

I wonder if they were thinking of Maggie and the Ferocious Beast when making this level.

[@josiahcowans6649]

Cool im not the only one who notice that

[@Matt_0716]

The only time I ever got scared of those beasts was one time as a kid I got within the vicinity of the first one and he was coming towards me and I thought he was gonna force me off the edge at the start.

[@nicemoves777]

This song, dark passage, dr shemp, gnasry gnorc, metal head, all those tracks kicked ass!!

[@Arzaker]

Druid: *tries to shift rock from under spyro* Spyro: *crosses effortlessly* Druid: "...I may have miscalculated"

[@dreamweaver6017]

Okay. Stewart Copeland is fucking amazing!

[@LookingTheBest]

Exactly!

[@dreamweaver6017]

+Edward Lueras I remember being a little kid playing this game half for the gameplay and half for the music. both of those qualities made the first spyro the best

[@LookingTheBest]

+Miss Exorcist 1122 Me too! The whole enviroment of the first game was just so perfect. Then to top it off if tou stayed in a level long enough, poof secret music.

[@dreamweaver6017]

+Edward Lueras exactly def #1

[@SaoryEmanoelle]

Came here right after seeing those big creatures remastered and boooy do they look GORGEOUS!!

[@WeirdBrainGoo]

This game was so awesome to play as a kid! I played it through 100%, but there was one dragon I had to find with a walkthrough...

[@grimm7001]

Okay, but for some reason I found those weird giant yellow beasts kinda cute when I was younger, and I have no idea why.

[@mcalpha3]

That part of the level where there is a pit full of those monsters.... holy shit I still get chills...

[@ProneTurtle]

I’d get so tensed up when making the glide to the tunnel halfway through the level. Good times.

[@mathematicalcowboy3166]

That + those islands with the fireworks on them

[@Natasha_Mae]

The beast things remindes me of beast form maggie and the beast. 😂

[@vap0rwqve726]

+Natasha Mae I thought i was the only one!

[@Bobby_Corwen]

Great googlely mooglely

[@Natasha_Mae]

Yay! people who agree haha

[@N8veJay]

Such a good description

[@dennisthedarklord9856]

I’m glad I’m not the only one, not to mention I had a surge of nostalgia from both. Good vibes I tell you.

[@Masamuneblade7]

Its funny, those rideable enemies were only tough back then because they were scary when you're a lil tike. You get freaked of them, mess a control up and get hit and run away lol. But when you lose the fear, they are really nothing. Even the group of 4 in that pit are 0 w/o fear.

[@ElCynical]

I loved that if you could flame the second beast in the level quick enough, the wizard would fly back up onto the ledge and be all, "OH NO YOU DI'UNT!"

[@AlexKFseidan]

I Loove this music!

[@fosterl7029]

I completely forgot what I was listening to, but when the drum beat kicked in I saw one of the yellow things in my mind.

[@blaria95]

Those gigantic beasts in this portal are a very good thing to add. Those droids are too, and everything else. I love how each portal/homeworld has a very magical thing to it. :D

[@blaria95]

THIS IS ONE OF MY FAVORITE PORTALS OF ALL TIME!!!!!

[@LightningSweetharta]

It's like another version of Night Flight :D

[@Zilege]

Agree with everyone on those big roaring orange beast. When I as a kid when I first saw them one. It started running towards me, and I paused the game and exited the level. They were just too scary to me. O.o

[@blaria95]

Alpine Ridge, Wizard Peak, High Caves, Tree Tops, Dry Canyon, Haunted Towers, and Cliff Town are all my favorite portals. My favorite home-worlds are: "Peace Keepers, "Magic Crafters, "Dream Weavers home", and and "Beast Makers home." :D

[@der_lindian5935]

All levels' soundtracks are amazing!

[@poly_g6068]

Yep. Definitely the best drumming I've ever heard in a video game.

[@andyyhimself]

Listen to F-Zero X soundtracks. Amazing skill in every one from all instruments.

[@621Chopsuey]

Those beasts remind me of Beast from 'Maggie and the Ferocious Beast' ... except not as freaky.

[@timsheppard6204]

I remember when one of the beasts was on a platform going up i've always wondered what was down there it was to fast to see what was down there

[@JerrellSanders]

What i loved about spyro is the sense of humor put into. Like those things that went: "Wallugawalugawaluga!!!"

[@spyergirl4]

this is one of two songs in the game with vocals. you have to listen closely to hear them though.

[@InamorastraStardustLucille]

Skybox looked so crisp it got reused like 12 times in the next 2 games

[@Marioguy92]

Great googly moogly!

[@Schaumi94]

aww thats my fav theme!! it sounds that dangerous...... and just great!!! furthermore the level is fantastic and hard!

[@spectrevampire]

Ironically, the adult dragon's expression when he said "I didn't think so" startled me more than those orange behemoths ever could.

[@azurecoldlake]

I was going for a jog the other day and I passed a place named Alpine Ridge. Then I thought to myself, "Hey! Isn't that a level on Spyro?" :D

[@AlmightyNoobful]

this tracks #1

[@yoink2k]

yup

[@NintendanGX]

@NoLifeGamer17 by penguin, do you mean the penguin witches? those penguins with the ceptars that go "DAW!" when u charge into them? :3

[@SuperMetalSonic360]

Yeah I think this music's pretty good actually. Those tribal drum sort-of sounds are awesome! (Only words I can think of to describe them :D)

[@THEkidNurCLOSET]

THE BASS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@omunomu9846]

Those.... YELLOW BIG THINGS scared the crap out of me!

[@1800REDGENESIS]

LOL, once you pop, the fun don't stop!!!

[@KeybladeKorney]

Whoa, i loved those mammut like monsters! I always dreamed about that high-ranged monsters in reality. @_@

[@Paine307]

The behemoths were more of a nuisance than a scare. Awesome Music BTW.

[@TheMooviemooChannel]

@TheMooviemooChannel cool, I would like to see more of spyro's awesome rage :)

[@alexkulp9727]

That snare!

[@aj_gen_ace]

Am I the only one who had trouble gliding to the narrow platforms with fireworks, and got blown off into the water?

[@Comptonater]

Childhood right here

[@einsteinboricua]

Alpine Ridge comes after Night Flight in the game…but was its music developed as a remix of Night Flight or was Night Flight’s music a remix of this?

[@GamerGurl21]

omg i loved this level with all the weird ladies and their giant buffalo things XD

[@SomewhereFarBeyond29]

@PortCottonWood I played a demo of A Hero's Tail, and it was alright. Still, none of them can beat the originals.

[@SuperMetalSonic360]

@azurecoldlake Aw that's awesome! Nothing like that around where I live :(

[@SomewhereFarBeyond29]

@PortCottonWood At least Stewart Copeland did the music for Enter the Dragonfly.

[@SuperMetalSonic360]

@natedogjcs No idea but they are surely some sort of monster. That's all you need to know. A Spyro game doesn't have to explain itself to you! :D

[@blueshardmoonwolf]

yea those green wizards were great :D and those big yellow beasts that the crazy penguins rode... how they shouted on me when i was near them and they couldnt get me :D

[@NintendanGX]

@NoLifeGamer17 it's fine, but don't forget... those armored beasts with green hair, a pointy nose and a cepter that makes awesome sounds are THE PENGUIN WITCHES! lol

[@BargainbinMac]

ugh! whe I was young and got this game I was really scared of the big orange things... until I found out they are really weak to flames...

[@TomPetty60]

Reignited Trilogy here we come!!!

[@NintendanGX]

i loved the penguin witches! they had armour, looked like penguins and had ceptars that made the "wuuuuuuyyyy" sound. whats more, they shouted "pooow!" when u rammed them!!!

[@KeybladeKorney]

Favorite next to Cliff Town

[@blaria95]

Awesome portal, awesome portal, AWESOME PORTAL! :D

[@zachwenger1128]

Please help. I have this song stuck in my head and it's driving me crazy

[@LookingTheBest]

me too lmao

[@BorealDragon]

Arg. Those behemoths always scare me when they suddenly rise up from the ground by a stupid magician...

[@spyergirl4]

pretty soon i will go around getting spyro music that i love off the internet and compile them on a CD and take it with me to every place there will be a CD player.... XD

[@LeckyBarnacles]

I think this tune is the original to the secret night flight level on the second world

[@MCSuire]

They are easy to take down. Don't let them scare you.

[@blaria95]

I totally get your point! :D

[@spyergirl4]

"take this!" "take that! hahaha!" "AAAAAAAA IIIIIIIIIIIII WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING!!" "its SPYRO, the mighty purple dragon!!" "............." "DIIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEE!!!!!"

[@PalKiba]

lol I remember my little brother was afraid of the big roaring beasts on this stage when I would play this game..

[@imallamaa]

@PortCottonWood enter the dragonfly was amazing to me! the rest weren't as good though.

[@blaria95]

True.

[@NotOrdinaryInGames]

Good.

[@Gongopod5]

the yellow monsters scared the shit out of me as a child, and i fear them today too

[@TheMooviemooChannel]

@PortCottonWood Spyro 1: Spyro the awesome Spyro 2: Gateway to awesome Spyro 3: Year of the awesome Yeaaaahh............. I think we get your point :)

[@telusdark7550]

As a toddler I scared of the big Beast running towards me LoL 😂

[@Mr.Feather130]

Am I the only one who wasn't scared on the orange beast guys and find them very cool?

[@NoLifeGamer17]

@NintendanGX Iiii can't remember I'm sorry. But, those are the ones.

[@spyergirl4]

27!!!! (with one from me right now)

[@amc6290]

ya the monsters in this level really deserved a 1up in my opinion, they were down after one flame? spyro was badass to take em down xD

[@spyergirl4]

21 now!!!

[@NoLifeGamer17]

@NintendanGX Whoooooo waaaaaaaa?

[@screaminggingin83]

@jasjor09 I agree

[@spyergirl4]

[@NintendanGX]

@natedogjcs they were called... THE PENGUIN WITCHES! OwO

[@SemperFi777]

@PortCottonWood "A hero's derp/fail"

[@MechakittenX]

I so afraid of the yellow monster thingies... man alot of things in this game scared me xD

[@tankaddict9147]

I don't remember this lol The title looks a WW2 operation xD

[@Fe0n]

thats the best spyro song after ice caven or so^^

[@_Ravani]

"Babuu!"

[@mathematicalcowboy3166]

The developers of this game must’ve enjoyed scaring little kids an awful lot

[@PortCottonWood]

@SomewhereFarBeyond29 True.. Gameplay wasn't very good in my opinion though... I guess it could be Enter the MEH....

[@codenamepotato7279]

In what world are little dogs stronger than huge tiger beasts?

[@kanechrist4213]

Dark Passage.

[@shikamaruw]

looks like opening song o.o

[@Gongopod5]
