This is what a TAS of a Sparx minigame looks like. Volume warning!
The boost button is pressed every other frame which results in massive speed.

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.

Release Release 1.21 ยท BrinchEbsen/SpyroAHT_PhotoModeMod See the readme for details on installing the mod. Changes: Added camera position store/restore option. Added AR Code as an installation method.

Update! I made a new release of the mod and added some installation instructions. You can easily run the entire mod from an Action Replay code in Dolphin. The mod only works on a specific version of the game though.

I made a mod a long while ago that enables a custom "photo mode" that lets me manipulate the camera and pose objects. To get Spyro, Ember and Flame on screen at once I just stitch several screenshots together in post :)

A spreadsheet with different values pertaining to the rising platforms shown in the video.
The leftmost column is called "Visited". The columns to the right are the parameters for each visit count.
The other columns read "Active_Period", "Rise_Speed" and "Fall_Speed". The higher the "Visited" number, the longer the active period and the lower the fall speed.
The bottom row is just a bunch of 9's placed as dummy data.

This is the spreadsheet in the map file that stores this data.
(The dummy data at the bottom can't actually be reached, as the "visited" count is capped to 9 in the game.)

An edited screenshot of Spyro: A Hero's Tail. Spyro is looking up at the camera, and a hand from behind the camera is emitting a magical force that is draining the purple color out of Spyro.
The caption above reads "Bored so I'm sucking the purple out of my dragon."

Hope you enjoy it! Having done a bunch of music production myself, I can confirm it can be a lot of fun. Pressing buttons until something sounds good is a pretty accurate description of how people start out with the hobby.

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
