Gnasty's World

This is a sub-page of Proto:Spyro the Dragon (PlayStation)/July 18th, 1998 build.

Watch on YouTubeGnasty's World is the final world of the game.

Differences#

Gnorc Gnexus#

• Due to an oversight, when entering the portal using a balloon, the text "Entering Gnasty's World World" appears on-screen.
• Only one dragon is present in this level - in the final, only one dragon is present initially, but this dragon is replaced by a second dragon once Gnasty is defeated.
• If any of the dragon mouths have already opened, when re-entering the level they will initially appear shut before suddenly opening, rather than opening slowly.

Gnorc Cove#

• Many of the objects floating in the sea appear to be brighter in this version.
• There are three dragons in this level instead of two. This makes up for the missing dragon in Gnorc Gnexus.
• Oddly enough, one enemy always drops a life orb instead of a gem, but you still get all 400 gems on the level.

Twilight Harbor#

Jul 18	Aug 12 Final

• The mountain range surrounding the level is a bit different on both ends:
  • The wall ends more abruptly at the start of the level.
  • The wall curls round and stops earlier at the end of the level.

Gnasty Place#

An earlier name for Gnasty Gnorc, the final boss' area.

Jul 18	Aug 12 Final

• In this version of the level, several sound effects are missing.
  • There's no sound for unlocking doors or the platform that Gnasty is initially standing on.
  • No sound is made when Gnasty hits his chest, or when he blasts his wand at the player.
• The camera seems to be angled rather poorly when the player enters the level, where the ceiling can clearly be seen as it loads in before Spyro lands.
• The first room appears to be lit and textured quite a bit differently.
• The cog shape is imprinted into the ground in the first room, instead of sticking out of the ground.
• The ledge that wraps around the majority of the first room is flat enough to be walked on this version, whereas it's tilted down slightly in the final.
• There's a slight gap between the walls and the platform that Gnasty is initially standing on.
• Some of the poles in the first Gnasty chase section appear to be textured slightly differently.
• Gnasty seems to stop running for a shorter time during the first chase section, making him harder to defeat.
• Gnasty performs his animation for taking damage two times after receiving the first hit.
• The final rooms were made ever so slightly larger in the final.
• In the final room, Gnasty doesn't fire blasts at the player, but will still smash Spyro with his wand at close range.
• No cutscene plays when Gnasty is defeated or takes a hit after the first chase section.
• The level is exited using an exit vortex instead of automatically after defeating Gnasty.
• Upon exiting the level, there's no ending cutscene or credits. Instead, the level is exited normally.

Gnasty Booty#

An earlier name for Gnasty's Loot. No, seriously.

Jul 18	Aug 12 Final

• An extra set of stairs are present in this version that aren't in the final.
• Two pipes were moved slightly further apart in the final.
• Like Gnasty Place, upon exiting the level, there's no ending cutscene or credits. Instead, the level is exited normally.
