Speedways (known as Flights in the original game) are a flying type of realm in the original Spyro series. In these speedways, Spyro, or, in Spyro: A Hero's Tail, Sgt. Byrd, must fly around in an obstacle course, either flaming/charging obstacles (or using missiles if playing AHT) or going through obstacles before the allotted time finishes.

Appearances

Spyro the Dragon

In Spyro the Dragon, Speedways are called "Flights." There are four different obstacles per flight, and each obstacle comes in sets of eight. Spyro must fly around and destroy or activate all these obstacles by either flaming them or going through them. For each set, Spyro will earn 60 gems, and once all sets are completed in one go, Spyro will receive the remaining sixty gems for the flight, for a total of a possible 300 gems.

Spyro has 25-30 seconds to complete this task at the beginning of the flights, though each item collected will earn Spyro a few seconds extra.

Flights

Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!

In Ripto's Rage!, speedways are similar to those of the first game, except each speedway has a secret Hunter challenge that can be completed for orbs, alongside gems.

Speedways

Spyro: Year of the Dragon

In Year of the Dragon, the speedways are different. Each speedway is hosted by Sparx, and you are given the choice of the traditional Time Attack or a Race. Time Attack is similar to the previous games, except gems are now earned instantaneously from destroying obstacles, and Spyro cannot add seconds to the timer. The race is when you have to race against a group of characters from the speedway, such as pilots or giant butterflies. As with the previous game, Hunter is hiding around in each speedway with a hidden challenge. Completing each challenge will earn the player up to three Dragon Eggs per speedway.

In the PAL and non-Greatest Hits versions of the game, all speedways share the same theme, although the first three speedways are given new themes in the Greatest Hits version.

Speedways

Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly

In Enter the Dragonfly, speedways are similar to Year of the Dragon as Sparx once again hosts the speedways and you can choose whether to do a Time Attack or Race. However, in this game, speedways appear as minigames and can be accessed through portals in realms. These speedways do not contain hidden Hunter challenges.

Speedways

Spyro: Season of Ice

In Season of Ice, the speedways are very different. Each object that must be passed through or each enemy that must be destroyed will come at you one at a time. If you miss one thing in any category, you cannot go back to get it unless you restart the speedway. Each speedway is concluded with a mini-boss battle, each mini-boss being a dragon similar to the Chinese Fire Dragons from the Fireworks Factory, where the dragons have long bodies that are divided into circular sections that can be destroyed until only the head is left.

Spyro: A Hero's Tail

In A Hero's Tail, you now play as Sgt. James Byrd in speedways. There are four speedways; one for each realm. Like in the previous games, you have to destroy enemies and objects and go through rings to win. Beating the speedway the first time earns a Dragon Egg, while the second time, it earns you a Light Gem.

Speedways

Spyro Reignited Trilogy

As the game is a remaster of the first three games, all speedways return with the same objectives.
