Trivia
A running gag in all games by insomniac started here, where Dan Johnson has secret random cameos.

When the game was released on PSP and PS3 via PSstore in North America, it was pulled in less then a week due to 2 levels having infinite load loops: Idol Springs and Collosis. Its since been fixed.

In this game, spyro has a mad face. This is due to Spyro missing his vacation. Its also a glitch that was patched in the sequel.
