Dragon: "You should watch the fools." Spyro: "I'd rather flame the fools." Mr. T: "I pity the fools."

This is one of the best comments I have seen in a long time.

+Matt Hirsh This comment. right here.

[@crasht3501]

Lol nice one

[@N8veJay]

Dragon: Now your thinking. 😎👍

[@maxgalli9063]

Lol, amazing and hilarious comment.

[@jma282]

Anyone else notice how the music changes from soft to fierce, like the enemies did in the light on this level?

[@Galax395]

Yup! I like the fierce part though.

[@carmengamundi4417]

Nice observation! I also noticed it starts in a misterious way (when the melody starts) and then gets very rocky to finally end with the same strange and eerie guitar flowing in the air... It's pretty accurate to the level and what's happening there

[@carmengamundi4417]

Also I was thinking. The chorus of this song is the Spyro theme... Maybe it means this level is, in some way, Spyro's nightmares?

[@IzzyNChrist]

Copeland captured the theme to this level perfectly

[@vinniedavy6575]

This is the best music on the game

[@Bandicoot177]

Me: "What's so terrifying about these gu--" *Jester turns off lights* Me: "... See that's not fair!"

[@reid9912]

And that's how I feel, but they scared me as a kid :(

[@GemGames3]

WisdomXLogic Yeah I was terrified to even charge into there when I was 8. Yikes!

[@RebelPage4262]

+ultimate wolfdude Did Lord Cerberus invade this game?

[@BlackTheNerevar]

Yea, the dogs that got big scared me as a kid.

[@GiordanDiodato]

it's not that hard lol

Artisans - Tranquil/Artists Peace Keepers - War Magic Crafters - Magics Beast Makers - Beasts Dream Weavers - Nightmare Gnorc Cove - Factory EVERY SPYRO HOMEWORLD ATMOSPHERE

[@iris5678]

There is actually lore to the different worlds. Artisans were the artists. Peace Keepers was the military. Magic Crafters practiced magic. Dream Weavers were where dreams came from, but Gnasty Gnorc turned it into the nightmare. Gnorc Cove is the polluted factory outside of the dragon worlds.

[@GKreis]

Iris yeah haha but that's how I described the homeworlds when I was younger. So this is just my "nobody-cares-about-my-opinion" opinion. But about your sentence, it's true..

[@Galax395]

[@MrWildcard531]

Thumbs up if this stage either: 1) Scared the living shit out of you, or..... 2) Had nightmares for days because of this stage

[@Xonmean1]

I was always more scared of Misty Bog. I was scared of being eaten.

[@hornet1869]

Xonmean yeah by those terrifying plant tree thingys

[@Pooky1991]

Number 1 until I fell in love with the sounds the dogs make when you kill them in cute mode.

[@AlecThePirateKing]

Stone hornet THOSE FREAKIN' TREES!

[@Zilege]

What's crazy is that I had many dreams of those hellhounds before I played Spyro. So seeing those on the game with the very same concept I saw...it's pretty clear that other people have seen these creatures in their nightmares too. So yeah 1 and 2 applied to me greatly!

[@AlmightyNoobful]

first level in dream weavers. Once you got here you knew shit was real!!

[@Kro-RissaVirus]

Corey Messick Not what he was implying, you misunderstood

[@wanbawmcgraw]

i go to haunted towers first

[@rockhardgamer45]

This level never scared me some how when I first played it A very long time ago. The huge beasts from alphine ridge did.

[@gamerguy425]

oh my god, those freaking faces, those are giving my nightmare fuel as an adult X( looks like Insomniac's answer to the rapeface polar bear in Crash 2! I think I was most afraid of those fucking metal spiders in high caves mainly because they're FUCKING INDESTRUCTIBLE by normal means. Spiders are scary enough already

[@dylantherunner5841]

Watch the language! Do you hear that kind of stuff in Spyro or Crash Bandicoot? Heck, Crash doesn't even talk!

[@SpikeRose]

"You're not afraid of those big, awful, noisy beasts are you?" "Of course not!"

[@TheMoon-dv6lz]

rockhardgamer 45 I feel you when I first played the level I had the volume up so when I was at a far distance they roard, which scared me

[@PlanetAwesomenessProductions]

Dragon: you should watch the fools. Spyro: I'd rather *flame* the fools! Dragon: Now you're thinking.

[@1d10tcannotmakeusername]

Mr. T: I pity the fools!

[@paleface171]

Misty Bog Trees caused me great uneasy, Dark Passage Dogs gave us all Logs.

[@slinky6481]

You should have said "Misty Bog trees gave me unease, Dark Passage dogs gave us all logs!" It would have rhymed! haha

[@einsteinboricua]

I always liked this level: it was linear. You started at one spot and kept going in a straight line. You didn’t need to go back with a key or for a supercharge. Once you reached the exit portal, you took a glide to a platform to wrap up the remaining part of the level and that was it: it brought you back to the exit portal platform.

[@KunaiKrazy]

Using these Spyro soundtracks to focus on schoolwork and wiggling in my seat. Sooooo good.

[@crasht3501]

lol

[@KunaiKrazy]

@@crasht3501 Hey man, when you gotta jam, you gotta jam. The bass, piano, drums, everything in this song is top tier.

[@enzormma]

That's what I'm doing right now lol

[@dreamweaver5152]

My favorite track AND my favorite level! Although all the Dream Weavers levels are pretty awesome.

[@mariacuellar4764]

Yes they are! It's because of that they are my favourites

[@huaweihonor7x817]

Me too

[@sanicspeed21]

The main theme in this is the real kickbooster. And by that, I mean the lietmotif of the game's title screen.

[@baranguirus]

I love the concept of the creatures becoming large and aggressive when darkness falls. It might well be my favorite level in the game.

[@PRINCIPEPERUANO]

Love this track its like a darker version of the title theme

[@JangoFett220]

Strangely I can describe the first term of an academic year to this music

[@JangoFett220]

The reason I say it is because at the start it feels like hell because you've had a good summer but once your into the feel (the change of tone in the music) you really enjoy it and especially with christmas at the end of it

[@lolwero]

People think of the dogs but not the metal turtles?

[@N8veJay]

Wero Yukari Yes thank you, those damn turtles were always hitting me first before I can kill them.😂😂😂

[@thegamerator10]

Me: "What makes the Hellhounds scary? They're adorable!" Fool: *blows out his lantern* Me: "I'm scared, I'm movin' on!"

[@jaxthewolf4572]

They were the scariest creatures in the game for me!

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

A major half of what made Spyro 1 so good is its music. During those brief moments when a track ended with a fade out before restarting (or the game glitched and no music played), a lot of the magic and atmosphere that made exploring these worlds fun was lost. At these times (especially if you were backtracking and had no enemies to slay or treasure to collect), you became keenly aware of the fact that the levels are fairly large, empty, and non-interactive without them.

[@y318]

I prefer a 1000 times Spyro rather than Mario.

[@Elspeth1]

mario is overrated

[@N8veJay]

Mario is great, Spyro just did it better in the first 3 games

[@Antonius_911]

Elspeth yah

[@patrickwebb5631]

Dark Passage use to and still to be the most fearful place to go because of the jesters because of their lights changing yellow puppies into Red dark demon dogs and the little metal turtles in one huge metal animal basically unable to kill him

[@dave9564]

I feared what I called the hell-hole, you're attacked by multiple enemies simultaneously.

[@johnquincyaddinmachine]

Sypro had mad mixtapes back then lol

[@poly_g6068]

That's an understatement. Listen to that BASS

[@johnquincyaddinmachine]

+Poly_G that BASS is god

[@KunaiKrazy]

The bass is the best in these songs.

[@DragonPianist]

Agreed! Of course it's good!

[@TheIGITnBLUE]

GET 'M! *Jester turns off lantern* Shi-!

[@jrizlerand2659]

I hate those damn elves turning the candle on and off when the dog and turtle turn all big. lol Good times.

[@hetalianotaku7103]

Thumbs up if you're here after seeing the INCREDIBLE new gameplay!!!

[@TheKingSahle]

This game will always hold a special place in my heart (,: I miss the good ol' days.

[@WheresTheSauce]

This is one of those tracks that's better than the reignited. The new one just doesn't have that punk rock guitar feel to it. Slamming your head into enemies, flying, shooting fire, Spyro is a badass, i want music that makes me feel like a badass.

[@N8veJay]

So glad they can allow the switch to the Copeland version, some of the new was better, but I found most of them either on par, slightly better or not as great... that punk guitar part is on point

[@Galax395]

Every Spyro 1 and Crash Bandicoot Boss relationship: Papu Papu - Doctor Shemp. Ripper Roo - Jacques. Koala Kong - Metalhead. Pinstripe Potoroo - Blowhard. Komodo Joe - Toasty. N Brio Nitrus - Gnasty Gnorc. Dr Neo Cortex - Ripto. (This was just my own opinion btw).

[@jacobtylerwhitemusic]

I love those guitar chords in all the spyro songs.. I wonder what effect their using :D

[@AS42100]

0:32 When the song really kicks in.

[@Galax395]

There was fierce shit there!

[@safeman3427]

Thanks, Spyro. I'd love to help you catch gnasty, but I really hate being trapped in crystal again.

[@clayton4887]

Don’t worry. The only one that’s going to be trapped is him.

[@dreamweaver6017]

Best spyro song ever

[@commanderconsole7420]

It's a toss up between this and Lofty Castle.

[@ronaldcheng1857]

The Wizard Peak music is the *best* IMO

Dark passage is one of my favorite soundtrack from spyro the dragon

[@Nordiero66]

'awww what a cute little doggie' *lights go out* 'WHAT THE F...' 'awwww what a cute little turtle' *lights go out* 'WHAT THE F...' Dark Passage FTW! :D

[@PunchAPeach]

This song was just as amazing as the sky in this level. So many times i'd just stop and stare at that ribbon of clouds as the song picks up.

[@amberwright3518]

Do i hear a little Magma Cone in this?????

[@Quillz06]

No, you hear a little of Dark Passage in Magma Cone. ;)

[@filippocrea4104]

Amber Wright which minute??

[@hachirokumaster2625]

It's the accentuated down strokes on the guitar that make them sound alike, paired with the similar note base and form, a fair levels sound like ones in later games, I always find Terrace Village sounds like something from Spyro 2 but I can't put my finger on it

[@philschundlemire9844]

One of my favorite levels in the game!

[@Zilege]

Man I hated those red dogs in this level when I was young. They looked exactly like some creatures I had in a nightmare a few times. It's funny to see that the creators of this has experienced something exactly similar. Good tune by the way.

[@TheSharkWithKnees]

Just seen the reignited trilogy version of this level, super impressed! Can't wait to play it with the classic soundtrack :)

[@umbrellasecurityservice6339]

0:33 when the Xenomorph in Alien Isolation starts killing everyone. In the room while your hiding in a locker then it starts looking for you.

[@1d10tcannotmakeusername]

This is some heavy stuff, man! Sounds almost like something out of DOOM at the intro.

[@CTRruns]

Don't like how the video doesn't end when the song does.

[@AngelRasmus3]

best Spyro music. i keep coming to the level just to listen to it!

[@Mischievoushermit]

When I was little, I always said to myself, "Never let the lights go out, bad things happen".

[@rockhardgamer45]

Dream weavers world is my favourite home world and levels out of all of the games!

[@Erdnax13]

First time I played this level, when the dogs turned evil and ate me, I literally threw the controller in the air and screamed as loud (and girly) as I could.

[@snarkspawner]

*thinks to self* hmmm.... dark passage? that sounds like fun! Awww, look at that! *gets eaten* O MAH GAWD!!!! *runs to the home portal as fast as I can, attaining about 70 jewels along the way*

I love the sound the dogs made when you charged into them. I never understood the turtles, though.

[@captainhero518]

Best Spyro 1 music. Twilight Harbor was a close second, but this one rocked.

[@MCSuire]

I miss this game so much.

[@Darkstar263]

This is probably my favourite bit of music in the Dream Weavers levels. Lofty Castle comes 2nd.

[@tjlnintendo]

I love the part after 0:40

[@superspyro8940]

"When the lights go out the enemies get big... just like me....." "in your worst nightmare!"

[@PalKiba]

I would always play around with the dogs, like at the part after you save the first adult dragon, they have a red cupid guy in between 2 dogs near a light post so the dogs won't grow, in front of some stairs... everytime they tried to bite me I'd jump over them and they'd follow.. lol This is one of my favorite levels because of the music and level design..

Yeah I hated those things. I was really curious what would happen if superflame and supercharge was on the level and you could use them to kill them but they sadly weren't.

[@eonshade6297]

I still cant really figure out if I have false memories of playing a dark swamp level (I only remember the level being grim dark with black, gray and green colours i think?) and a Crystally pinkish like level with purple and pink sky (thought it was called crystal islands and it was in spyro 3 which is the only spyro game I remember playing but the level is completely different than what I had remembered playing perhaps in spyro 1 or 2?) or not.
