The open vest with ripped sleeves meanwhile refers to the second movie, Temple of Doom.įrom the original PS1 game, Year of the Dragon has the character "Tara" fom the Desert Ruins level as a reference to Lara Croft. Combined with the fedora and bullwhip that existed in the PS1 design, this makes for a very overt reference to Indiana Jones, with the skull referencing the golden Chachapoyan Fertility Idol seen in the prologue of the first film, Raiders of the Lost Ark. In the Reignited version of Year of the Dragon, the Bullwhip Rhynocs from the Molten Crater and Dino Mines levels now sport a shoulder-slung satchel with a golden skull peeking out. This of course references the book Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carrol.
Bianca is the Italian word for White, ergo Spyro is following the white rabbit down the rabbithole.

Byrd suggests to Spyro that the egg he has 'would go great with some bangers and hash. Insomniac are the creators of Spyro, and of the games that were remade for the Reignited Trilogy. Moneybags was planning to sell it back in Avalar for a fortune, essentially child trafficking for all intents and purposes, the Mountain Goats in Sheilas Alp were planning to smash the egg on each others houses as a prank, and perhaps worst of all, Sgt.
In the Reignited version of Mystic Marsh from Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage, the coins in the water fountain (as well as the one it gives you in the Professor's Pencil Challenge) are embossed with the moon from the Insomniac Games logo that was used from 2002 to 2018. You can read the original Reddit thread here.Ĭredit goes to YouTuber Canadian Guy Eh for finding the Easter Egg. This is a reference to a Reddit user "thechronoshadow", whose mother was diagnosed with cancer in mid-2018: chronos asked for her name to be placed somewhere in Year of the Dragon as an acknowledgement of that being the first game she ever bought for him, which they would play a lot together. In the Midday Gardens Home of Year of the Dragon, the room where your Transporter craft arrives in has four paintings of the various denizens of the Midday Garden Worlds, all of which feature the name "Parvinder".
