Spyro can run into "Powerup Gates", which give him special abilities for a limited period. Some foes are only vulnerable to certain moves. Spyro has several abilities, including breathing fire, swimming and diving, gliding, and headbutting, which he can use to explore and combat a variety of enemies, most of which are rhinoceros-like creatures called Rhynocs. Consuming small wildlife known as "fodder" regenerates Sparx. If the player does not have Sparx, then the next hit would cause the player to lose a life and restart at the last saved checkpoint. Spyro's health is measured by his companion Sparx, a dragonfly who changes color and then disappears after taking progressively more damage. The player controls the dragon Spyro for most of the game.
Gems, along with the number of eggs collected, count to the total completion percentage of the game. These gems are used to bribe a bear named Moneybags to release captured "critters" and activate things which help Spyro progress through levels (Such as bridges). Gems are scattered across the worlds, hidden in crates and jars. Players do not need to gather every egg to complete the main portion of the game or gain access to new levels in fact, certain eggs can only be found by returning to the world at a later time. To proceed to the next hub, the character must complete five worlds, gather a certain number of eggs, and defeat a boss. The worlds of Spyro are linked together by "homeworlds" or "hubs", large worlds which contain gateways to many other levels. These eggs are hidden, or are given as rewards for completing certain tasks and levels. The main objective of the game is to collect special dragon eggs which are scattered across 37 worlds.
