Please wish me good luck on here.

But anyways, here is a glitch in the Super Bonus World:

Go to the race area. Then step near a distance away from the skateboard. Charge and let the crab get you. If done correctly, you will be able to do the race without the skateboard.

If done wrong, exit the level and reenter, because the crab will not respawn without exiting the level.

Well, that's the glitch, and as always, wish me good luck.

Let's deal with some obvious ones for example. Sgt Byrd gets the Peace Keepers' theme, and the Super Bonus Round gets the Gnasty's Treasure theme.

I wouldn't say it's the worst game while it does have alot of glitches you'd have to be really lucky, like myself, to encounter a glitch unintentuonally in a general playthrough on a real PS1. Not PS3. Not even PS2 because the PS2 is emulating PS1 so you will encounter glitches you would never see on PS1. Even glitches you dont notice. I personally think the 4 additional character and new vehicles make the game bigger and better then the last 2 games alone. While the levels may be smaller you get more variety of choice of things you can do gameplay-wise. So much variety and freedom in 1 big PS1 game makes it the better game overall in my book.

Sheila's Alp, Sgt Byrd's Base, etc etc
you can enter these characters' levels as Spyro. normally you'd need CheatEngine or GameShark or something to do this, but you can do it with SpyroEdit, too! just put in a random object number and RIGHT when the level starts to appear, click "Go To", and Spyro will be teleported to that object before the other character starts talking

Seashell Shore
1. (NOTE: CRASHES GAME) at the end of the level, there's that octopus that's holding the seal. its Object ID is 112. set its "State" to 2. you'll see the seal again! his Object ID is 145. set his "State" to 1. if i remember right, you can talk to him, but nothing will happen after that. if you CHARGE THE OCTOPUS, the prison bars will close instead of open, the seal will talk to you, and he'll swim over to the portal. but then the game crashes. i'm sure there's more you can do with this?

Sunrise Spring
1. did you know every portal in the game has a minimum egg requirement? it's true! it's just that apparently, most of them are zero! the "State" for all activated portals is 5. set them to 4 to get the egg requirement. however, most of the time, the egg icon will just go away and the portal will reappear since you have the required egg amount already. the Object ID for Sheila's portal is 206. the object ID for Cloud Spires is 162. set each one's "State" to 4 to see its egg requirement. (note: i don't know if it'll work for all people, but i got Cloud Spires' egg icon to stay!)

2. these only work for the spaceship. i don't know about the other ones yet. its Object ID is 188. if you set its "State" to 4, the screen will go black, and you'll appear outside the ship, like when you land from somewhere. if you set its State to 5, you'll take off in the ship. but since you didn't input a destination, the ship doesn't have anywhere to go, so its colors will just glitch up and the game will crash.

'Sup.
So a while ago, I managed to make it into the abandoned Dino Mines mini-boss arena.

Something cool I discovered while looking at demo versions of the game is that originally the "Take it to the bank" egg in Agent 9's part of the level was replaced with an egg called "The Bailey gang's last stand". That name doesn't seem to fit the context of where the former egg was placed, so I'm pretty certain that it was the name that the egg obtained in the arena was going to take on. Funnily enough, the "Leap of faith" egg was also renamed as "Close your eyes and press X twice".

On occasion you'll through the wall as though you've just walked out of a normal portal, instead of being spat out in the middle of nowhere. Perhaps it's an indication of where the portal was originally supposed to be.

I think this might be a good point to share something I've been working on for a long time - I don't remember the link sharing policy on this website but I don't think this is against the rules. For a few months I've been compiling all the Spyro 3 pre-release and prototype information together like a massive nerd, and you can see all the pre-release differences I've found here: https://tcrf.net/Prerelease:Spyro:_Year_of_the_Dragon

Most of them are in the form of screenshots, so there's plenty of things that didn't make it into the final game.

I've read that supposedly Shiela's Sunny Villa area has a premature access point as well but it was too late for me to try it.

yep, you have to go up the whirlwind. it's been awhile since i did this, but i think you have to charge/glide over to the grass on the right side of the portal. i don't think it'll work if you go to the left.

then just charge/glide again and go behind the portal.

I'll be trying it for sure next go around. I suppose I could still try it in my current file even though I've nearly completed all worlds except for speedways, so clearly have Sheila unlocked but it wouldn't be as fun that way.

There are other areas where Gem baskets or vases are sitting on an edge next to the out-of-bounds, such as in the thief area in Molten Crater and it makes me wonder if the respawning elsewhere in the area solution is present in those instances as well.

oh hey, i just had a thought! couldn't you just change the X and Y (or Z) values manually once you're in there? like in Cheat Engine?

yes

where are those people who are always complaining to Insomniac about new games? one of them should go ask them about this.

I don't believe that is possible now. I recently read a comment on youtube whilst I've been on a Spyro 3 glitch video binge that the Insomniacs who developed the original Spyro trilogy are no longer with the company.
