In the words of Crash 'Woah!' Hasn't Toys for Bob not made a new Spyro 4 or new Spyro game yet or hasn't the Reignited not drastically been too different profile for Classic Spyro? That is true and according to them we won't get any confirmation on any new Spyro material until the series hits it's 25th anniversary, however even before The Legend of Spyro, there may have even been different continuities of the classic series that may haven't been look into fully, which is why this thread will be covering the Spyro games before the release of The Legend of Spyro: A New Beginning, thus possibly making the City level feat from Spyro: Season of Ice and how Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly doesn't seem to be consistent with its continuity as the Spyro wiki states that Enter the Dragon takes place shortly after Spyro: Year of the Dragon, and the same can also be said for Season of Ice, taking place very soon after Spyro defeated the Sorceress in Year of the Dragon, with the only possible source on how long it takes after it is a few days, and while Enter the Dragonfly has to take place after Year of the Dragon, the answer to it taking place after or before Season of Ice is so up in the air that even the wiki for Spyro's character profile can't have them work chronologically with each other has shown here A and here B. Even Wikipedia classifies Season of Ice to be an alternate continuation after Year of the Dragon, however another conflicting continuity squeeze that the handheld Spyro games bring unto here is when Spyro 2: Season of Flame comes into play where Spyro, Hunter and Bianca are shortly done with their vacation, even though Enter the Dragonfly makes it pretty clear that they are having a vacation with Ripto invading it and then just almost immediately after they are done with their vacation Ripto comes back with another plan he's been working on? Uh why didn't Season and Flame and Enter the Dragonfly acknowledge this plan at the same time? And even though Ripto can be played for a goof for the sake of the lighthearted humor of the series, would he really be stupid enough to make another game plot on Spyro soon after he was practically and horribly defeated by him? I mean the guy at least tries to make a plan for a while before doing so, right?
Continuity gets stranger to fit in with games like Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy, where if you can believe or not has one possible credential in being a part of the Classic continuity with Spyro A Hero's Tail, all thanks for Blinks, known as Blinky in the Orange game. Thus possibly raising the question on Orange making Spyro comparable to Crash Bandicoot as Spyro alongside Crash fought both Ripto and Cortex and both Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy and Crash Purple: Ritpo's Rampage of those games, then again the Spyro wiki also seems to treat those games to be part of a separate canon for Spyro, and it could also be Blinky may have never had anything to with the events of A Hero's Tail in Orange as the events were never mentioned, I heard Spyro Orange acknowledges taking place after Enter the Dragonfly, with fusion cards being the only examples to be given in support for this, but those are just cards for game mechanics and which uses the handheld Season trilogy games. The idea of Crash and Spyro being on the same world with how Purple and Orange presented them also makes it much harder to buy how those fit into continuity well, especially given how the rest of the games show that they aren't. Then here are more continuity headscratchers being raised, Spyro: Shadow Legacy doesn't seem to acknowledge taking place after Spyro Orange, but clearly and blatantly expresses itself in taking place after A Hero's Tail, Involving what why Red was villainous in the first place.
So here's how I see it
Classic Spyro
Spyro the Dragon
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage/Gateway to Glimmer
Spyro: Year of the Dragon
Season Trilogy Spyro
Spyro the Dragon
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage/Gateway to Glimmer
Spyro: Year of the Dragon
Spyro: Season of Ice
Spyro 2: Season of Flame
Spyro: Attack of the Rhynocs
Primary Reason: Too up in the air on where it fits chronologically with the events of Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly.
Enter the Dragonfly Spyro
Spyro the Dragon
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage/Gateway to Glimmer
Spyro: Year of the Dragon
Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly
Primary Reason: Same as the previous reason and seems to be ignored by Spyro: A Hero's Tail.
Orange Spyro
Spyro the Dragon (Extremely questionable)
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage/Gateway to Glimmer (Extremely questionable but is the least questionable due to Ripto.)
Spyro: Year of the Dragon (Extremely questionable)
Spyro A Hero's Tail (Possible, but also extremely questionable)
Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy
Primary Reason: Doesn't acknowledge the previous handheld games, seems to ignore Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly and A Hero's Tail being a part of it is questionable at best. Plus the cosmology rules make it apparent that it may not even be tied to the classics.
Shadow Legacy Spyro
Spyro the Dragon
Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage/Gateway to Glimmer
Spyro: Year of the Dragon
Spyro A Hero's Tail
Spyro: Shadow Legacy
Primary Reason: Doesn't acknowledge the previous handheld games, seems to ignore Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly and likely ignores Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy but clearly takes place after Spyro Hero's Tail.
Now where do the tiering apply here?
To quickly sum up on where the characters are placed in their tiering.
Classic Spyro would be Wall level to Building level, due to be comparable to characters that can destroy large boulders and can greatly enhance himself with Superflame.
Season Spyro would be City level because of the Grendor Ice feat.
Enter the Dragonfly would be the same as Classic but more effectively
Orange Spyro could be City level if the Orange and Purple games take place after Crash Bandicoot: The Wrath of Cortex.
Shadow Legacy Spyro's feat would start at least from his classic scalings being Wall level to Building level, up until Shadow Legacy where Spyro reaches up to this feat.
Also, I'm tagging the Crash Bandicoot Verse on here as well because of it having ties in having a crossover with the Spyro verse.
