Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!
Cheat Codes/Hints
A nod to Dan Johnson
There's a nod to one of the developers at Insomniac Games in Mystic Marsh. Once you start the level, jump inside the fountain which has these four coins in it. Press 'triangle' to take a closer look at these coins, and you'll see that it has the face of a man on it. This man is Dan Johnson, a guy who worked on several games made by Insomniac, including the Spyro games on the Sony PlayStation.
All Abilities
While the game is paused press circle(x4), square. Spyro now knows how to swim underwater, climb, and headbash.
Amazing view in Summer Forest
This isn't a code actually, it is just a hint or tip. All you have to do is learn to swim, and then that long water tunnel you enter, go up the stairs, get the orb and carefully jump through the hole on left between the hill and tower. You get an amazing view of the water tunnel! Also you can breath fire. Try to flame the fish. It is easier to do with a fireball. Note: you will have to quit the game after this though. But you can come back though.
Autumn Plains Orbs
Before the stairs leading to the Boss Are some cracks in the wall which you can ram through. Use the whirlwind, and then the next one, to reach the high tower. From here, look ahead and you will see a tall platform in the distance, outside and to the left of the outer wall of the main yard. Glide to it and get the Orb.
Another description to get this Orb is as follows: climb up all the ladders next to Moneybags. Turn left at the portal to Scorch. Go down the hallway until you find a cracked wall on your left. Break the wall by charging into it. Go up the whirlwind. At the top of it, you will find a few gems. Then, go up the other whirlwind. Glide from the platform to the long green platform. There should be an Orb at that location.
From the tall platform (above), glide the outer wall and make your way to the left. At the end you should see another cracked wall. The Orb is inside.
Big Head Mode
While the game is paused press up(x4), R1(x4), circle. Now Spyro will have a huge head.
Canyon Speedway
Follow the path of goats until reaching the area with the circling vultures. Fly high above to the canyon rim and look for Hunter in a little nook.
