Glitches and skips guide (j2me/brew)

In this guide I will consolidate various tricks found by me or others in Spyro games for J2ME and BREW (games starting with RQ and up to DOTD). All tricks here are possible on real hardware I think, but certain games I've always played on emulator due to their infamously spotty compatibility. I will try to keep it updated for as long as I'm related to Spyro mobile speedrunning.



# RIPTO QUEST

There's a zipping glitch in this game, it hasn't been investigated much though and there's no use for it yet. Doing a 360 degree jump over a fence will mess up the game's isometry temporarily and allow you to do zips into the air. Here's a reupload of my old video where I show this glitch on KEmulator:

# SHADOW LEGACY MOBILE

I've previously discovered a random clip that works in certain versions of this game. I dunno if there are any other tricks as I never did runs of this crappy game.

# A NEW BEGINNING

- Map animation skip: when you finish a level and get to the map, immediately press the "quit to title" button (left softkey or right softkey depending on version), and then press it again to return to the map. I think this is faster than watching the level opening animation. Also works in TEN.
- Gayan Plateau switch skip: it should be in the run, basically towards the end of the level the game intends you to press a switch and use the wind currents to fly over a pit, but (at least in High-End) you can make a precise jump to glide over the pit without the wind currents.
- Electro Heights enemy boost: it's like in the middle of the level in the Low-End version, small timesave but not difficult.

# THE ETERNAL NIGHT

- Map animation skip: when you finish a level and get to the map, immediately press the "quit to title" button (left softkey or right softkey depending on version), and then press it again to return to the map. I think this is faster than watching the level opening animation. Also works in ANB.
- Elemental Dragon attack skip (The Elementary Vault): this boss has an attack in which he lowers his head from the top of the screen. If you stand on the very left side of the screen, the dragon will go to the left, either off screen (and will reappear out of nowhere to fire at you) or depending on the "phase" he will fire at you immediately. However sometimes there's a chance to softlock the game, in which you'll have to exit out to the map and go back into the fight.
- Elemental Dragon double hit: this boss also has an attack in which he zooms from the side of the screen at you. If you let it zoom far enough, hit it (possibly taking damage in the process), and follow it, you'll see that the dragon's head is not fully retracted, allowing you to hit it a second time.
- Breath change buffering: during a relic animation you can press the swap button (* or # depending on version) and when you come out of the animation, your breath will already be changed to the one that corresponds to however many times you pressed the swap button. It's useful in Celestial Caves for example.

# DAWN OF THE DRAGON

In some cases, if you attack a switch from far enough to rebound from it, you'll be able to jump onto a moving platform early and skip a cycle.

There is also this clipping glitch but I don't know of any use for it sadly:
