Thank you for this fun journey! This challenge turned out way more interesting than I ever thought possible. Thanks for taking an interest in covering this game!

IN THIS CHALLENGE: Bird is immortal, Hunter is Jesus, Spyro is physically disabled, Shopkeep smuggles people, Blink drowns

When Spyro only needed to use his wings once right at the very end, it was like the main character overcoming their limitations right at the final boss. Very climactic. I'm willing to overlook it as "character growth" if you are ;)

The fact that you were able to get ALL collectables without using your wings is legendary. Too bad the final boss was the hurdle that couldn't be overcome, but you did brilliantly to do it with just 1 double jump!

"I have you know that was a lot harder than it looked"<br>What? That looks very hard to do and your patience and determination is impressive

The character smuggling glitch is amazing! I've seen someone play as Hunter in Spyro's area before, but I didn't realise you could do it with other characters too!

The character smuggling glitch seems like how child me would have imagined being able to play through the main levels with Hunter and Blink. Mainly that Blink would be so lame-o shame-o that he'd drown in ankle-deep water, and Hunter would be so cool and doesn't afraid of anything so much that he'd simply run across the water really quickly and effortlessly. <br>I thought I was just being cynical/optimistic, I didn't think those ideas were enforced and enshrined by code. Amazingly niche, yet relevant information, and neat guide.

A Hero's Tail is extremely underrated game.<br>It was really fun to complete it 100% casually<br>And it was really fun to see it being played this way

This is by far the coolest challenge run I have ever seen, period, simply because it completely changes how you look at every single obstacle in the entire game. Since so many strategies involve bringing in other characters, it makes this challenge run feel a lot more like DK64 or SM64 DS, where you have a bunch of different characters, each with abilities exclusive to them.<br><br>Only Spyro can interact with most gadgets, wall grind, and wield water and electricity.<br>Hunter has easily the best mobility.<br>Blink has the strongest ground pound.<br>Sgt. Bird can fly and can’t die from enemy attacks.<br><br>And by creatively swapping characters when you need them, there’s not a single collectible in the game you can’t obtain, and not a single room you can’t get to. Of course, the only problem is seeing the final cutscene of the game. Goddamnit, Red. You just couldn’t have let people have nice things, eh?<br><br>Still, this was an awesome run to watch. Can’t wait to see what else you’ll have in store for us!

Given that the previous games only banned the act of gliding/flying itself (and that your reasoning for banning the whirlwinds was on Spyro gliding for a single mandatory frame after using them), I think it's fair to consider the double jump separate, and by extension a (technically) completed challenge!

This challenge run turned the game into Donkey Kong 64.<br><br>Backtracking 50 times to switch characters for a simplistic task the others for seemingly no reason can't do.
