When Spyro enters Dragonfly Dojo, he discovers that Ripto's new minions, the Riptocs, have infested each of the worlds. Now, Spyro travels to the different realms connected to the Dragon Realms in search of the 90 missing Dragonflies. After finding Sparx inside the castle in the Dragon Realms homeworld, Spyro is tasked with recovering the other dragonflies.Īfter Ripto disappears, Bianca gives Spyro a Dragon Rune which can grant him the ability of Bubble Breath, so he can capture the dragonflies. However, his spell misfires, and the dragonflies, including Spyro's dragonfly companion, Sparx, are scattered throughout the Dragon Realms.

However, during the party, Ripto (who appears to have survived the events of Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! (proven by the epilogues of this and the following game) teleports in via a portal and disrupts the celebration, intent on capturing all the dragonflies in order to weaken the young dragons. The generation of young dragons, whom Spyro recently saved from the Sorceress' clutches, are about to celebrate a rite of passage: the assignment of their newly arrived dragonfly guardians. The game's story begins shortly after the death of Sorceress in Spyro: Year of the Dragon. For example, to go to Cloud 9, Spyro must ride a whirlwind up into the clouds. Lastly, portals have been replaced with other methods of transportation to the individual realms. The typical speedway layout stays fundamentally the same as Year of the Dragon, without the Hunter Challenge. In this game, Speedways no longer appear as individual levels, but instead are added onto realms, accessible via Challenge Portals. However, Spyro can man several vehicles: Hunter's Manta Ray and the UFO's make a return appearance from Year of the Dragon, alongside two new vehicles, the tank and the Spitfire attack plane. Furthermore, unlike its prequel, sequel, and the Spyro: Advance games, the only playable character is Spyro. The layout of each realm is similar to those past. Gameplay is similar to the previous three console games. Unlike the previous Spyro games, Enter the Dragonfly has only one homeworld, with nine attached realms.
