Spyro Year Of The Dragon Worlds
With the exception of the Crash Bash Demo code, all of these codes are entered in the Pause Menu of the game.
For Reignited players, please visit the Reignited Cheat Codes page.
Crash Bash Demo
[edit]
This code for the PS1 game is entered at the Title Screen.
In Adventure Mode, you can play Pogo Painter, Polar Panic and Pogo-a-Gogo, although the latter is unlocked by collecting the Trophy, Gem and Crystal from the other two games. Battle Mode lets you play normal matches on all three maps, however you will need to unlock Pogo-a-Gogo in the Adventure Mode to play it here. Lastly, you will need to plug in extra controllers for multiplayer, which means 3 and 4 player require a Multi-Tap.
Code: L1 + R2, Square

Extra Hit Point
[edit]
This code unlocks a fourth hit point for Spyro, marked by a star-shaped glow around Sparx when he’s gold. This ability is normally unlocked by completing the third Sparx level, Starfish Reef.
Code: O, R1, O, L1, O, R2, O, L2, O
Sparx Treasure Pointer
[edit]
This unlocks the Treasure Pointer ability, normally earned after beating the second Sparx level, Spider Town. After unlocking it, hold down all the shoulder buttons and Sparx will point directly to the nearest Gem. It is worth noting however that this ability will not account for Challenge Portals; you’ll have to manually enter those sections so that Sparx can detect those Gems.
The code is different depending on the regions:
US 'Black Band': Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, O, O, O
Other PS1 versions: R1, R2, L2, L1, R1, R2, L2, L1, O, O, O
Other PS1 versions: R1, R2, L2, L1, R1, R2, L2, L1, O, O, O
99 Lives
[edit]
Spyro Year Of The Dragon Cheats
This code tops up your life count to the maximum of 99. This code initially only works in the Sunrise Spring worlds, and once you depart for Midday Gardens, it's locked out until you complete the Sorceress's Lair level. After that, it's available to use in all the levels.
Code: R2, L2, R2, L2, Up, Up, Up, Up, O
Adjust Difficulty
[edit]
Year of the Dragon introduced ACT, or Automated Challenge Tuning, which adjusts the difficulty based on how well you’re playing, such as replacing enemies with the Gems they drop, or reducing the lead on the opponents in the Speedway Races. These codes set your ACT rating for either Medium or Hard.
There is currently no known code to set the difficulty to Easy.
Hard Difficulty: O, Square, Right, Left, Right, Square, O, Square
Medium Difficulty: O, Square, Right, Left, Right, Square, O, X
Medium Difficulty: O, Square, Right, Left, Right, Square, O, X
Big Head Mode
[edit]
To reverse the effect of this code, simply input it again.
Code: Up, R1, Up, R1, Up, R1, Up, R1, O, O, O, O
Flat Spyro
[edit]
Like the Big Head Mode code, inputting the code a second time turns the cheat off.
Code: Left, Right, Left, Right, L1, R1, L1, R1, Square, O
Colour Change
[edit]
Colour change codes are all exactly the same except for the very last button in the code. Start with the code below, then use the graph to find out the button for the input marked [FINAL] to get the colour you want.
As a precaution, when entering the code for Blue, make sure to move off of the Continue item in the menu, otherwise the final button press will cause you to quit the level, or if you’re in a Homeworld, the game!
Code: Up, Left, Down, Right, Up, Square, R1, R2, L1, L2, Up, Right, Down, Left, Up, [FINAL]
Color | Input |
Default | Left |
Blue | X |
Green | Triangle |
Yellow | Up |
Red | O |
Pink | Square |
Black | Down |
Voice Dialogue
[edit]
This code will bring up a sort of Sound Test mode that allows you to hear all of the dialogue in a specific level. Type represents an instance of a character in the level you're in, while Msg refers to a clip of dialogue. The downside is that it replaces the music, and as such the dialogue sample you choose will loop repeatedly until you leave the level or use the Credits cheat, so use this code with caution.
Code: Square, Square, O, O, Square, Square, O, O
Replace the Skateboard with a Squid
[edit]
Exactly what it says in the title, this is a leftover from when the skateboarding minigame was originally just in the Lost Fleet level.
Code: Up, Up, Left, Left, Right, Right, Down, Down, Square, O, Square
Play the Credits
[edit]
Spyro Year Of The Dragon Pc
If you're playing the PS1 version of Year of the Dragon, this code will not work on NTSC copies. It will also reset you to the start of the level, but it can be helpful if you've used the Voice Dialogue cheat.
Code: Left, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Square, O, Square, O, Square, O
Level/Cutscene Warp
[edit]
These codes will help you warp to a level or play a cutscene, but will only become available after defeating the Sorceress. This makes the level warps somewhat redundant because a Warp feature is added to the Atlas after beating the Bugbot Factory level. It is helpful however in accessing the Super Bonus Round if you ran into the Speedway Bug, and it is the only way to view the cutscenes again.
In the PS1 version of Year of the Dragon in the US, the “Spike is Born” cutscene did not play due to a coding error, but this was fixed in the Greatest Hits version. The code is the only way to view it otherwise.
As with the Color Change codes, [FINAL] represents the final inputs of the code as detailed in the graph below.
Code: Up, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, Square, [FINAL]

Comments
You know the story...boy meets girl, boy loses girl to evil sorcerer, boy vanquishes sorcerer and gets girl back. No, it's not Prince of Persia, it's Aladdin. This hand-held version of the Disney flick mimics Prince of Persia with some of its moves, but unlike the former, it's definitely for beginners only.
You've Got Three Wishes
As Aladdin, you run, jump, creep, crouch, and fight your way through the game's seven levels. Throughout, Aladdin has to navigate past obstacles and dodge the Sultan's guards. The game play for each level varies, and it's very different from the Genesis version. Some levels are like a steeplechase, with Aladdin leaping over barrels, across rooftops, and over pits. Others are Prince of Persia-style mazes, where Aladdin has to find keys, open doors, and escape from a labyrinth of passages.
Aladdin lives or dies by a simple damage system, and the only special items he can find along the way are food, keys, rocks to throw in the Palace, and Scarabs (continues). The strategy is in figuring out how to use Aladdin's various moves, which require different combinations of button presses. The only hard part about the game is mastering the moves. They're easy to learn, but not to execute, due to the Game Gear's sluggish controls.
Come to the Kasbah
Aladdin's graphics are beautiful. Nicely drawn backgrounds and beautifully animated characters highlight the action. The game also features extensive animated sequences that tell the story of the movie.
Soundwise, recognizable tunes from the flick jazz up the action. Hum along to Whole New World' and other awardwinning songs.
Like the Genesis version, this cart's definitely aimed at younger and beginning gamers. Intermediate or advanced players will sail through the game in an hour or two, though some levels, like the Palace, are pretty complicated. It would have been better to spend less memory on the ani mated sequences and more on putting better game play into the cart.
One Step Ahead of the Bread Line
Although it's a great-looking game with some good moments, Aladdin's not gonna be what you've been wishing for unless you're a beginning gamer. A whole new world it ain't.
ProTips:
- When youreach the Palace, run to the right as fast as possible to avoid being skewered by a guard.
- The French Bread in the cavern is instant death,
- Cruise through the Cave of Wonders in the upper area, because the lava jets spray out of the bottom.
- If you fall into a hole, you lose a life. It's more important for you jump over the holes than to evade the barrels.
- When you reach this Ion cranlspace in the cavern, tap Left twice on the control pad to run, then hit Button 1 to slide.
Overall rating: 9.5
