Spyro 1 - Tree Tops

[@iBlewupthemoon98]

"That was quite a ride Spyro, You've learned a lot since you were a young glider." "Well, you could have found an easier spot to get stuck" [shrug]

[@Wflash00]

The shrug gets me everytime

[@Mythical444]

Spyro was speaking facts......like dude c’mon....

[@GamingCreed47]

I think the devs knew what they were doing when they added that in.

[@RyanStorey1231]

Getting to that dragon was the real final boss.

[@dreamcastdazia4753]

😂😂😂

[@dragonarcher89]

cant tell which one was more annoying this one or the one with the almost indestructible knights

[@JCPrince705]

Jamie Ryan Storey you mean Jed? *shudder shudder*

[@kaiwetlesen9114]

Facts.

[@leaflizard8485]

The best part is the game was aware of this too

[@yourtogogo]

all I see is spyro falling into that damned green mist

[@stelkin656]

I bet you in that mist you'll find thousands of Spyro ghosts soaring around, crying and raging from constantly failing the jumps.

[@PLASBEZ]

Endless falling.... Dang

[@IzzyNChrist]

a point of rage for me every friggen time!

[@Matt_0716]

Believe it or not, I did try to go through the game with no deaths. When I got to this level, that attempt failed.

[@Erfierazgzb0ss4u]

FOOOOOOOOL

[@N8veJay]

JubJub444 or pause & exit out of the level and reenter,

[@awesomepikachu2903]

I died in the level because the whirlwind wouldn't take me -_-'

[@florianp1283]

For me its no problem, but i play it since i was a little child. After 16 years u can rek everything easily in the original. I hope the reignited trilogy for ps4 will be awesome like the original series.

[@matthewmicelli6674]

lol

[@dragontypeliv]

This level was the biggest troll in the whole game.

[@thebear8326]

Despite that, I loved the level for the biggest challenges available. :D

[@kirbrie]

I would say Misty Bog but this level ranked second in my book.

[@danterik9781]

Toasty was harder than misty bog lol Theres no sheep there.

[@danterik9781]

Well except that one....

[@iPhoon]

thiz Waz My Top 3 favorite Worlds

[@RyanStorey1231]

0:40 - 0:57 I love those warm synths that sound like woodwinds. They really add an ethereal, warm, and nostalgic atmosphere to the level.

[@lilmamagc]

perfect sounds for flying 😎

[@ElSueco.]

1:24 My favorite part

[@ised-5239]

Speed up version of High Cave's banjo solo.

[@FerrariCarr]

By far I think this was the hardest level in the entire game. It was very easy to get lost in. As a kid, I kept finding myself going in circles trying to get to the platform where the "home" portal was because I gave up on trying to get to the platform that had the infamous "hard to reach" dragon.

[@kirjuschaks]

Haunted tower with it's dragon in the tower was harder for me as a child to complete

[@darkglyphknight]

Out of the original trilogy: Spyro 1: Best music. Spyro 2: Best story. Spyro 3: Best gameplay. Just my opinion. Your mileage may vary.

[@kirjuschaks]

Spyro 1: best music, best gameplay Spyro 3: variety through characters & minigames, interesting bossfights Spyro 2: prototype of Spyro 3

[@aceclover758]

All had their great charm but to me, the first is my favorite even after I played it many times on the ps1

[@alessandrobozzi7085]

People, you should be kinder to this level. It was hard, yes. It also was the first 3D Sonic level, one year before Sonic Adventure even came out.

[@mooganify]

Alessandro Bozzi 😂 hahah damn

[@OdaSwifteye]

At least the level doesn't glitch out.

[@danofsteel785]

Spyro 1 and Sonic Adventure were released the same year.

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

Spyro was released in September of 1998, while Sonic Adventure was released in December 1998-January 1999. Spyro ironically still beat Sonic to the punch for speed/momentum-based 3D platforming by a couple of months.

[@mooganify]

Sonic 3D Blast moment

[@tyrantking9000]

I love the tree tops level strangely. It is a great difficulty spike.

[@raphaelbrown6314]

It is 😁

[@lemmykoopa1379]

Same

[@ashyneko]

That was quite a ride, Spyro! You've learned a lot since you were a young glider. Yeah, well, you could've found an easier spot to get stuck...

[@matthewmicelli6674]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[@ashyneko]

PRETTY MUCH HIS REACTION!!! hahaha.. such an old comment of mine.

[@mariacuellar4764]

I tried to reach that dragon after 16 years, and took me tons of lifes. I agreed with Spyro XD

Hehe yep. Sometimes I'd zoom right in on their faces when I got close enough. Terrifying

[@xaptus]

“For an amazing tour of Tree Tops, don’t just stop at one Supercharge!”

[@sanicspeed21]

Spyro was dang right about that one dragon. WHY COULDN'T HE GET IN A BETTER SPOT!?

[@ashyneko]

One of the best levels in the game, not sure how people can hate it! Supercharge FTMFW

[@tyrantking9000]

+Ashyneko mostly because people found it hard? I don't know exactly either.

[@ashyneko]

tyrantking9000 As a kid on first play through maybe, it's easy if you know how to control supercharge. I love Supercharge probably why I love this level I guess :P

[@tyrantking9000]

Same here

[@luca9019_qc]

+Ashyneko same here.. tree tops imo is the hardest level in the game , but one of the best.. i love double and even triple supercharge !

[@Pooky1991]

Not necessarily that it was hard (though it didn't help) but it was easy to get lost in this level. It felt like a scavenger hunt for me figuring out which path would take me where I wanted to go, but damn was it satisfying once I figure out how to 100% this level

[@kidofsteel0362]

The notorious tree tops. Probably the most difficult level in the game.

[@CynicalT0ast]

Just hearing this gives me PTSD

This level was always a pain in the ass.

[@Arroes2911]

The little wish woosh sounds in the music always reminded me of the super charge sounds

[@hope_canyon]

i've always wondered what they are. like a washboard or something?

[@Wflash00]

When I was younger and I got to Gnasty's Loot, I thought that was the sound of the propellors on the airplanes lol

[@sputnik5676]

Me too! I always wondered if that was intentional

[@bdonaghu]

This song is High Caves on steroids... and I love every second of it!

[@bluehoodie91]

AGREED!

[@marktomlinson06]

But no fairies to save you :( still a bloody awesome level though, just finished replaying the first game.

[@LUMINIZEDOG]

it’s the other way around, high caves is just a slower version of tree tops, as high caves gets it’s own original theme in the PAL version of the game

[@teabrewer1890]

High Caves is Treetops on... uh.... Sdiorets?

[@MultiOwyn]

This makes the NTSC track for High Caves sound like the slow alternative version of this track.

[@MultiSuperguy101]

Hardest level in the game.

[@jubjub444]

hardest spyro level in general

[@zekromism666]

Maybe once of hardest level of Spyro of the dragon

[@maxtrigga9952]

Best level *

[@theskull4106]

It is hardest level especially for beginners it make them dizzy

[@JeepsterForGlam]

This level is super fun but I lose so many lives on it >.< Getting that last goddamned dragon is my biggest achievement to date.

[@angelnegronvelazquez9379]

Has anybody noticed that this is a much faster version of the song in High Caves? I still remember the day I noticed. It hit me like the feet of the enemies from this level. xD

[@AlmightyNoobful]

+Angel Negron Velazquez Faster yes but it's not directly high caves sped up. Different guitars used plus the background noises differ greatly from high caves. Also the bassline is different

[@crabstubular3251]

High caves is actually the slower tree tops

[@crabstubular3251]

I was going to say the more you know at the end of it

[@brandonweierke8939]

I noticed while I was at work humming them both in my head, and somehow forgot which was which, now here I am

[@fortheloveofnoise]

Even though it was hard I still enjoyed this place.

[@gage_parr90]

When High Caves takes a first sip of Red Bull

[@Xamsims]

Wow, this level. I remember going superfast after multi-colored thieves from tree-top to tree-top, it was a pain.

[@confloashton3617]

My brother an I hated this level equally.

[@dragontypeliv]

the part at beginning 0:00 until 0:20 sounds like spyro on the supercharges :D

[@yamabrame]

As a kid this was our worst nightmare. But once we replayed it in a somewhat distance future it seemed much better. At least for me that is. =)

[@XxD1EAN0TH3RD4YxX]

Analog sticks helped a bunch. Using a D pad to control spyro on those ramps and sharp corners was awful.

[@dillionmaxwell5451]

Nah tbh I felt the same way 😌

[@brandonespinoza9279]

Love how it's a sped up version of High Caves.

[@crabstubular3251]

One word PAL

[@superlaserchickon]

Unlike most other people, I loved this level as a kid because of how big it was. You literally had all the freedom in the world, jumping from platform to platform.The thieves were hard to catch and presented a fun twist. Such a great feeling; good thing my PS2 is backwards-compatible! (and so is the PS4 if I'm not mistaken)

[@zacharyhanley1267]

I completely agree with you, but this level was very difficult, so I hated it as a child, but now I love it.

[@kiesears5612]

I absolutely fucking love Spyro 1 behind Crash 2 on the PS1 it was always my favourite platformer on the console, not a fan of 2 or 3 (great games not a fan personally) though unfortunately :/ Love Ratchet and Clank though which i feel are the true successors to Spyro after the PS1 era :)

[@AlmightyNoobful]

+Kie Sears no Crash Bandicoot Warped?! ahh i loved that game lol

[@kiesears5612]

+grewbis No sorry i meant the Spyro games, I love the PS1 Crash games with 2 being my absolute favourite :') I only really liked Spyro 1 out of the 3 PS1 games

[@AlmightyNoobful]

Kie Sears Gotcha! I agree.. The other two spyros were not bad but my love definitely sits with the original

[@sakuraitonen9513]

Kie Sears SPYRO to me always was the best out of all of them! 😎😎😎 I only liked Crash Bash to be honest.. Spyro for life! 😍😍😍 To me it's always Crash behind Spyro! 😎😂

[@sociosanch3748]

"Yeah, but you could've picked a better spot to get stuck"

[@NitroFury]

🤷‍♂️

[@DrShemp]

This and Doctor Shemp were my fav levels in this game

[@BAMZOOKi]

Easily my favourite level. I loved to find out different supercharge routes and I was about 5 back then.

[@PunchAPeach]

That confounded spot! LOL I couldn't beat the game for, like 2 years because of that one megajump. It's nice to know that I'm not the only one that trouble with that part! xD

[@RainbowTrainStation]

I hated this level, then I played it again after I knew what to do and I loved it...

[@mr.s9783]

Am I the only person who was freaked out by the enemies in this level?

[@HystEricsCartoons]

Iron Tager Those big tall kicky dudes were a bitch.

[@Leomerya12]

+Iron Tager , absolutely not. I played Spyro when I was 8, and when I got to this level and saw the monsters, I shut the game off, scared, and didn't pick it up again until I was almost 10 (at which point I was like, "Why was I so scared!?")

[@Sebbromlg]

I Was freaked out by this level in general.

[@jubjub444]

I loved them!

[@muffin2221]

Amazing Spoon your interpretation is decent tho. When i played this as a kid my mother laughed and said they hit me with their testicles 😑

[@GreyWolfLeaderTW]

One of the two spots where i got stuck in the original Spyro game and had to buy the Strategy Guide for it, just to learn that you're supposed to go *UP* the second to last ramp you need to supercharge-jump to, then supercharge-jump over to that small side ramp that gives you the extra height and distance to reach that last dragon. The other spot I got stuck, fittingly enough, was that trollish supercharge-jump path in Haunted Towers.

[@hey.alright.8362]

Really nice bass groove on this track.

[@sk00ks41]

The first time you play this level it's a nightmare to 100% , but once you know how to get to the different platforms it's so satisfying to pull off in one go.

[@trumpeterjen]

The uploader's screen name is how we all felt while trying to get to that last island.

[@RockStoneLee19]

Take the leap of faith ppl! TAKE IT

[@Luke570420]

who tf is ready for reignited trilogy???

[@mariacuellar4764]

[@Yibbon133]

@JonJazzBass I had to revisit the game at least 6-8 years later to finally 100% this level.

[@NascarFunkBuildersCupSeries]

By the grace of god I figured it out as a child

[@PortCottonWood]

Took me years to get everything in this level, and when I finally did, I was congratulated by a smack in the face by a wart hog outside the portal.

[@TheMooviemooChannel]

@TheYeldark lol, those theives were helping you get across the ramps, I found them quite useful. Although, catching up to them, I totally agree

[@PlanetAwesomenessProductions]

The most hated level in the game! It was so frustrating!

[@scrount1]

I remember this goddamn level. Took me ages to get everything in it.

[@Ptrisha85]

Good god...this was the only level keeping me from getting a perfect ending. It's hell trying to get every item in this place.

[@Macke15swe]

this brings back old memories

[@SuperMetalSonic360]

@BadPhenotypes Though having said that this is likely to be the first (and maybe only) point in the game where you could lose a lot of lives, so actually you're likely to have built up quite a few lives by this point and therefore have very little to worry about ;)

[@whasian5968]

Cant wait for the new version!

[@bobbyfaj]

i remember when i was a kid, about 5-7, i had this game and this level pissed me off. not because it was bad (which it wasnt) but i just couldnt make those god dam jumps. lol - spyro is a legend

[@thanoseldestructor9960]

Happy Tree Tops

[@Fawn_paws]

this level was so frustrating that it makes me mad just thinking about it but this is such a BOP that I cant help but love it... i mean those DRUMS and the BASS plus that melody right at 0:56 like... idk smth about this whole song makes me wanna jam

[@DaddyGreer65]

Damn, how I'd love to relive beating this when I was 9 years old...

[@vesacksi]

This damn level. that combo to get to the platform way too far away is so crazy i will nver forget that sht

[@Tisrok]

Man this game was the best. I don't I ever completed any of the Spyros except for one of them. They were hard and really long games after all.

[@krimsonkartoffel]

My quasi-blind playthrough of this game had a fun time with this level. All i could remember was that you could charge up the ramps. Had an easy time over all.

[@heartbreakerinc]

This is the level that separated the novices from the masters.

[@vap0rwqve726]

I love the music.

[@EozOrange]

Oh my god, trying to get to that island which is miles away from anywhere else whilst using a speedway ramp facing the wrong direction! AAAAAAAAAGGGGGHHH!!!! Hardest bit in the whole game.

[@AquaKittyLionCat]

Whenever the music really starts up, I used to go down the supercharges. It just fit :3.

[@dreyoung8958]

it wasn't all that going from tree top to tree top it depends if your getting hand of things and using your head.

[@allhailklisz]

@boemchak In PAL they replaced the High Caves music since it's just a slowed down version of this.

[@conradd1352]

I hope they make the soundtrack more close to the original for the reignited trilogy!

[@chillbizz74]

They did but they did do something Crash Remastered didn't do let you play the original songs

[@Scorponizer]

Neh neh nuh neh neh!

[@Megumi_Bandicoot]

An entire generation will suffer trying to 100% Tree Tops.

[@Pocketwatch625]

aw man, that sweet feeling of accomplishment when you finally track down the green one... ^.^

[@TangleSongs]

This level was so amazing. One of the best in the game, I think. :)

[@SethisKun]

this level was the best level of any spyro game in existence really... they taunted you with a crystal dragon and a crap load of gyms on one island with seemingly no way to get there but the ramps are all one huge track to get there... imo the greatest hidden "puzzle" in any game ive ever played... in fact it beats zelda's puzzles and thats saying a lot. its too bad the series never stayed long enough for people to realize how awesome it was... REVIVE THE ORIGINAL GAMES &(#$@ IT!!

[@morrowind750]

this level pissed me off so much. this and lofty castle is what made me just power through the levels. only saved dragons that were on the way to the end portal. and gnorc was ridiculous. chase him around and in the room with the ledges that go in the wall was annoying. must have tried like 10 times before i got it.

[@BadPhenotypes]

I only reached that dragon when I decided to tail that green thief from the start of the level all the way to the island. The supercharge path is just not something that a person can figure out on their own (without experimenting and losing tons of lives).

[@joshtownsend9150]

Ah this level used to drive me nuts when I was a kid

[@portagasdace21117]

Favorite level

[@621Chopsuey]

@sunsetsoaked I managed to get that dragon by accident, using a glitch. But yeah, that comment sums up the entirety of this level.

[@Pentax25]

@Aquiosis i was like that for several weeks and then one day i decided to set up the old playstation and go through them again :) It was like rediscovering my childhood

[@PunchAPeach]

Yeah! Words couldn't describe how satisfying that was!

[@stelkin656]

Animators: How hard do you want this level to be? Director: Yes

[@SethisKun]

@Kriegsmarine0 it was but it was also the point where spyro died.. its so painful to hear that the people in charge of the original spyro games said "we thought spyro was growing old" and "he couldn't even hold a gun" man.. that disappointed me T_T ... so much....
