In addition to Spyro's returning and new abilities, many levels in the game feature powerup 'gates' which temporarily give Spyro enhanced abilities that allow him to defeat certain enemies, reach new areas, or complete certain missions. Levels are designed to take advantage of this, featuring large gaps that require Spyro to glide across them, and thermal updrafts which launch Spyro into the air and can allow him access to areas otherwise unreachable. By using his wings to glide, Spyro can extend his jumping distance to a considerable reach, depending on the elevation the player begins gliding from. Spyro can attack enemies with his typical dragon-breath, or charge through them in a charge attack, though different varieties of enemies may require a specific attack to defeat metal-armored enemies are impervious to Spyro's flame, and enemies much larger than Spyro himself are immune to his charge attack. Gameplay flows in a similar manner to the original Spyro, with few variations in control and Spyro's main abilities intact.

Less than a week later, however, it was removed because Colossus and Idol Springs levels failed to load. The game became available for download on the PlayStation Network on July 26, 2007, before even its predecessor was released to the same market. The player, as Spyro, must travel through the world of Avalar and undo the damage done by Ripto. Idols come to life and attack their creators, Eskimos are encased in ice cubes, and a civilization of seahorses has had its water confiscated. A dinosaur-riding sorcerer, known as Ripto, has invaded the world of Avalar, and is wreaking havoc on its citizens with his magic. The protagonist of the series, Spyro, is placed in the land of Avalar, rather than the Dragon Worlds, where the previous installment was set. Ripto's Rage is the second game in the Spyro the Dragon series, which started with Spyro the Dragon in 1998. It was released in the United States under this title on November 2, 1999, in Europe and Australia as Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer on November 5, 1999, and in Japan as Spyro x Sparx: Tondemo Tours on March 16, 2000. Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! is a video game for the PlayStation video game console. For the Game Boy Advance game, see Spyro 2: Season of Flame.
