Greatest Hits. The original has bugged background tracks.

thanks for that anon, really brightened up this otherwise shit day.

Just replay the original, 3 is awful.

The one thing Spyro excelled at was being a gorgeous, highly mobile 3D collectathon with huge levels. 2 had worse level design, and a shitload of terrible minigames. 3 decided to chop more than half of the Spyro collectathon shit, replacing the levels with extremely tiny, nearly on-rails zones with really boring characters that weren't fun at all. Spyro 3 was heavily rushed during development, and it shows. It's just not a good game at all, and if you end the series on that note, it's going to leave a bad taste in your mouth.

Spyro 2 definitely had the best boss fights, the Ripto fight was perfect and ended up being poorly copied by Spyro 3.

Those gem sounds in 2 and 3 will make your ears bleed.

The original version of 3 has a ton of bugs, like the final bossfight playing one of the overworld musics instead of the boss music. It's the only version of it I played though, so I wouldn't know if the game would suffer from the new tracks. It recycles tracks a few times but they're so good I didn't mind.

Also you might get swarmed by anon's shilling 1 because it's the most basic. The original trilogy kind of works like a gradient. The 1 being just the core gameplay mechanics, 2 starting to branch out with more minigames, and 3 going overdrive with the minigames. I did a recent replay of the original trilogy and I struggled to get through 1 because it was so fucking boring. I thought I just was too old to enjoy the games again until I got to 3 which I was able to just power through. I even went back to 1 afterwards for the 120% finish and it was just jarring in comparison. Blob enemies, gold textureless icons, large empty levels, sound effects at lower audio quality (which I didn't notice at first).

1 is the best not just because it's the most basic but because the later ones largely forgot to have actual charging and gliding challenges. The original has a lot more stuff that actually resembles platforming. The sequels are great but the first certainly has that going for it.

How does that make it better?

1 is the only game with any actual platforming.

I played all three to death as a kid and today I can easily and happily replay 1 and 2 any time, they are a blast. Sadly 3 feels like more of a chore to replay and I never finish my replays because playing as any character other than Spyro aged very poorly. You can debate level design choices and minigame stuff until you are blue in the face but at least both 1 and 2 are pure uninterrupted Spyro gameplay.

They sound good to me. You aren't playing on a crappy plugin based emulator with terrible audio interpolation are you? Certainly the real hardware never sounded anything but awesome to me as a kid.

>Muh textures

Oh no not this autist again.

>How does a platformer having platforming make it better

Really nigger?
