The real challenge lies in completing every level 100%. The inventory screen shows progress for each level, how many gems found and how many dragons, it also shows many there are in each level. Also, each defeated bad guy yields a gem and end bosses hold several gems. Gems are found scattered throughout the levels, in treasure chests. Along the way you have to find all 80 dragons, collect all 12 dragon eggs and collect as many gems as you can.
The goal of the game is to beat Gnasty Gnorc by working your way through all six worlds. Each world consists of a home or hub area, three regular levels, one flight level and one boss level. The game consists of six worlds: Artisans, Peace Keepers, Magic Crafters, Beast Makers, Dream Weavers and finally Gnasty's World. Spyro the Dragon is a 3D platform game similar to Super Mario 64. Now Spyro has to travel through the dragon kingdom and free all the dragons from their crystal prison, recover the dragons' gems and defeat Gnasty Gnorc.
But he forgot about one little dragon: Spyro. He has also stolen the dragons' gems by locking them up in chests or turning them into soldiers for his army. The evil Gnasty Gnorc has turned all the dragons in the Dragon Lands into crystal.
