** The Rhynocs n' Clocks world is an obvious yet rather obscure reference (considering the intended audience demographic) to Salvador Dali's ''Persistence of Memory''.

* CashGate: Moneybags, as usual. If you want to 100% the game he will suck you ''completely'' dry of all your hard-earned gems (which bizarrely includes loads that you looted from ''his'' various vaults to begin with, not to mention his mansion).

Added tropes and examples.


* BraggingRightsReward: You unlock Pvt. Bird's levels for co-op and competitive multiplayer by getting OneHundredPercentCompletion. You need to collect every gem ''just'' to get Moneybags' Heart ([[TheScrooge not that one]]).

* HeartOfTheMatter: This game consists of several lands each with their own Heart. Each Heart of the Land is an object that is both emblematic and vital to the operations of each land, and obtaining them to defeat the BigBad forms the core of the game. While they're all different objects, each Heart also incorporates, well, heart imagery on them.
* InfiniteFlashlight: You get a lantern from a yeti relatively early in the game, which is necessary to complete the game. It will automatically light up dark areas and never turn off while Spyro and Sparx remain in said area.



* MementoMacGuffin: You receive the heart for the Rhynocs n' Clocks realm halfway through the adventure, after defeating Ripto in a mid-game boss battle. Also serves as {{foreshadowing}}.
* {{Metroidvania}}: Instead of the hub and level formula of previous GBA Spyro games the game takes place in an open world that Spyro must open up with new abilities while still being an isometric platformer.
* MythologyGag: Shiela's action fingure has boxing gloves, like she did in early pieces of concept art.

* PowerGlows: Spyro flashes on and off when the player charges up a super breath.



** A monkey worker gives Spyro [[FireBreathingDiner a hot banana pepper which powers up his flame breath]] into the Super Flame, which like in the original games means Spyro can now shoot a fireball to hit enemies and targets from a distance.



** The walls in the Sgt. Byrd mission in Chateau Ripto also contain famous paintings such as the Mona Lisa and The Scream defaced with Ripto's face.
