* BottomlessPitRescueService: Falling off in the hub worlds is nothing to worry about, as fairy magic is used to get Spyro back if he falls off a ledge.
* DeathIsASlapOnTheWrist: Downplayed. If you lose all of your lives in a level, you go back to the hub world and have to find the portal to the level you were currently playing and restart. But all of the gems and fairies you've collected up until that point is saved so you don't have to find them all again, even the gems that were found in the treasure chest. And since if you die at any point in a stage, you restart from the beginning of it anyway also with your gem and fairy counters intact, losing all of your lives isn't that different from just dying normally. The only exception are the enemies, which respawn and you have to defeat them all again to earn the fairy for it and open up the gate back to the hub world.
