Elder Astor's expression describes 100%ing this game perfectly. I'd say I'm never gonna do it again but I know the minute the GC version gets a RetroAchievement set, I'm going to do it all over for that one. #spyrothedragon #spyroaherostail

You know? I really and I mean REALLY want a port or remake of #SpyroAHerosTail on Steam and modern consoles. It’s my favorite #Spyro game and I would be happy if I could wake up one day and buy it on Steam and or on Switch or PS5 as physical media. At least I have the GCN version.

Some of the early trailers for Spyro: A Hero's Tail have debug text showing at the top of one of the gameplay clips.

This serene piece of music simply called "Safe" was part of the original scrapped soundtrack for Spyro: A Hero's Tail, and was meant to play after beating a boss (as it does in a prototype build). In the final game it is simply silence instead.

I added some collision flags to the title screen map in Spyro: A Hero's Tail, so that I can explore it on-foot.
Unfortunately, there's not much more to see than normal. You can't even destroy the Dark Gem, since it's just visual.

Something I found just now in AHT, and I'm not sure if I'm just going insane or if the texture on these barrels actually spells out "Spyro" with very weird letters.
I did my best to show how I interpret the symbols on the raw texture, and you can make up your own mind :)
#SpyroAHerosTail
Screenshot of Spyro: A Hero's Tail. The subject is a barrel with a texture on its hoops with strange symbols on it. The raw texture from the barrel hoops, and some lines drawn on top to try and trace the symbols.

I've re-written an article on The Cutting Room Floor about the many unused maps in Spyro: A Hero's Tail, some of which are quite bizarre. Check it out: tcrf.net/Spyro:_A_Her...

In Spyro: A Hero's Tail, this timed platforming challenge in Dragon Village has dynamic difficulty. Every time you hit the switch, the platforms stay raised for longer, and they lower more slowly. They reach their slowest speed after 9 attempts.

Turns out you can reach the bowman enemies in this Hunter section with some precise jumps. It reveals they're way bigger than normal ones. #SpyroAHerosTail #SpyroTheDragon

The design document for Gloomy Glacier in Spyro: A Hero's Tail pitches the level as "the sacred Dragons Graveyard, the final resting place of the huge ancient Dragons."
This is not explained in the final game, but is hinted at with the skeletons lying around.
#SpyroAHerosTail #SpyroTheDragon
A screenshot of Spyro: A Hero's Tail. The subject is a dragon skeleton lying on a warmly lit cave floor. The introductory paragraphs of the Gloomy Glacier design document made for Spyro: A Hero's Tail. The heading reads "REALM 3 B - Gloomy Glacier" The text reads: This level is a near impenetrable pass through the mountains and a long steep climb up to the Ice Citadel. Set in a deep ravine between mountains lies the sacred Dragons Graveyard, the final resting place of the huge ancient Dragons. Inspired by the Elephants graveyard in ‘Lion King’ and the Dinosaurs graveyard in ‘Jak and Daxter’, this area has potential for striking visuals and lighting with detailed, interesting bone and rock formations. The level is played entirely as Hunter, so all the elements and enemies should be tailored for his specific movement and attack abilities.

This is the function in Spyro: A Hero's Tail's code that resets your health and reloads the game after a death.
It's called "urghhhImDead".

In Spyro: A Hero's Tail, if you use glitches or hacks to swim in the air and touch an icy surface, you get some really weird interactions.

Elder Titan in Spyro: A Hero's Tail has a strange bug with his scripting. If you're within a certain radius of him, he enters his "reacting" state. But stand at just the right distance, and he'll start flickering back and forth between reacting and not reacting.

These two textures called "Test" and "Test2" are found in the file "panel.edb" in the demo builds of Spyro: A Hero's Tail.

I've no clue where they are from, and reverse image searching didn't help much. If anyone knows, please let me know!
#SpyroAHerosTail #SpyroTheDragon
The texture called "Test". Depicts a cartoony green blobby character with a long tube for a nose, smaller red tubes for hair, yellow warts, a tail and no arms, who is running with a desperate/exhausted expression. The texture called "Test2". Depicts a cartoon drawing of a middle-aged/elderly man with a huge nose, yellow red-striped shirt, a blue tie, and a pink pair of pants.

The Spyro model used inside the Ball Gadget in Spyro: A Hero's Tail is a slightly earlier iteration of Spyro's regular gameplay model, with much lower texture resolution.
#SpyroAHerosTail #SpyroTheDragon
Two renders of Spyro models from Spyro: A Hero's Tail. The left one is labelled "Ball Gadget Model" and the right one is labelled "Regular Model". The left model has brown eyes instead of purple, has slightly longer horns, and much lower texture resolution.

We're slowly uncovering new stuff from the E3 Demo of Spyro A Hero's Tail.
Here's the early scrapped "Baby Mammoth" enemy, complete with its animations and behavior.

And there's a lot more to see hidden in the files!

In Spyro: A Hero's Tail, there's a sneaky bit of foreshadowing to Ineptune's boss battle, where the top of her arena is visible through some cracks in a cave.
