CTTR Master and Spyro 2 Master
I posted a route for this on Luigikart's Spyro speedrunning forum it's pretty fast. I remember someone saying they got 1:17.00 or something I'm guessing that was without SF and if it is then you can shave at least 5 mins from that and with this route you can probably go as low as an hour or so. I'm gonna go for this(SF) after my AOTR any% SS and Spyro 2 0 orbs SF so we can discuss this.

THE GAME!!
A Spyro 2 speedrun would be great! Since it's the shortest out of the first three and it being a great game, I'm looking forward to it hitting SDA. Is it the PAL or NTSC version?
KingCTTR
2007-05-30 10:52:00 am
CTTR Master and Spyro 2 Master
PAL. I have a much faster route. I'm doing a 0 orb run first then I will do my AOTR any% SS and then do this using my super fast route. I could probably get just over an hour with my new route(40 orbs)
Peppyman

yes this would be great to watch.

I've been practicing. I can't remember my current route but I will find it trust me. I think I can get under an hour I'm pretty confident plus I'm even better at the game now. Go ahead and watch when I'm done with the run.

How are you supposed to do a 0 Orb speedrun? Is there some kind of glitch in the game which allows you to do that?
KingCTTR
2007-06-04 05:01:43 pm
CTTR Master and Spyro 2 Master
Yeah. It lets you get to Ripto's Arena with no orbs at all.

That is my video by the way. This run would be so much better to do than a 0 orb run but I need to finish a 0 orb run first.
JBertolli
2007-06-09 04:10:50 am
Yeah, this is definitely on my list of things I will do one day. A 40 orb run is something that takes a lot more planning than both a 0 orb and 64 orb speedrun (though, once planned, it is certainly easier than a 0 orb <_<).

I just love beating the game with 40 orbs using my route and seeing what tricks to use. I figured gem hunting is not really nessecary because you get 800 from the speedways in my route.
Total gems:
500-swim
400-aquaria towers(yes I know it's skippable)
400-zephyr
500-climb
400-shady oasis(I think)

So I think that's 2200 gems but I will have to check again. If that's right then it's slightly more than a fifth of the games gems which shouldn't require gem hunting just linear gems and 800 speedway gems. There could be a better route which skips speedway orbs because there are still a lot of orbs left to get. My current route is not the final one.

Skipping climb would probably be a lot faster and if you are doing a freestyle speedrun (breaking rules of SDA) then you could use my strategy for the seahorse rescue orb in Aquaria Towers.

I'm gonna have to practice the climb skip. I can skip climb in Magma Cone too so I can do that and skip it altogether.

2200 gems isn't that much which is quite good. I think you need around 2800 for the Spyro 3 100 Egg speedrun. But yeah, I'd choose the levels which are easiest to get all the gems in (even though they're all rather easy to get all the gems in). But good luck anyway.

What happened to the post with total gems? I'm sure I posted it here. And yes no gem hunting is really required I can't quite remember the exact amount of gems though.

Actually, only 1,100 is required. I would skip climb and paying for Aquaria Towers and Shady Oasis, I'm pretty sure, is only 200 gems. That saves the time of searching for 900 gems.

Not in a 40 orb run I wouldn't skip climb. It's not worth it when you don't even have to look for gems too hard. Plus 800 gems from both speedways. Also for Aquaria Towers it's not worth skipping. Otherwise you'll spend too much time trekking through SF. You don't need to look for gems too hard so go nuts and abuse this to save time.

I love YaBB 1G - SP1!
I don't know if this is the right area to ask this, but would anyone be interested in a max % run is spyro 2?  This would be getting all gems, all orbs, all skill points, all enemies killed, then going to dragon shore and getting the firebreath.  Pretty much doing everything in the game and getting the firebreath.

give me your eyes!!!
Skill points aren't necessary for the max% run, so I'd leave those out if you plan on submitting it to SDA. I'd be extremely interested in seeing it!

You effictively made a mistake. You have 41 orbs.
I suggest to do the two hockey games in Colossus in place of Evil Spirit Search (pretty fast), and remove a orb which took long time to get.
