Spyro Orange: The Cortex Conspiracy (known as Spyro Fusion in Europe) is a unique crossover title that brings together two of gaming's biggest icons: Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot. In this adventure, Spyro must team up with his former rival to stop the combined evil of Ripto and Dr. Neo Cortex. 
 
Key Features
The Ultimate Crossover: Experience a story where the Dragon Realms and the Wumpa Islands collide. While Spyro is the star here, you’ll frequently interact with Crash, Coco, and other series favorites.
Mini-Game Focused Action: Unlike the previous isometric Spyro titles, this game focuses on over 25 high-energy mini-games. Challenges include side-scrolling "shmup" flights, tank battles, gem-collecting races, and rhythm-based challenges.
Classic Side-Scrolling Exploration: Navigate 2D platforming hub worlds to find portals, talk to characters like Moneybags, and collect the "White Gems" needed to progress to the next world.
Trading Card System: Collect over 100 unique Trading Cards hidden throughout the levels or won in mini-games. These cards feature characters and items from both the Spyro and Crash universes.
Link Cable Connectivity: Use the GBA Link Cable to connect with Crash Bandicoot Purple: Ripto's Rampage. Linking the two games allows you to trade cards, unlock exclusive content, and compete in multiplayer versions of the mini-games. 
 
The Worlds
Explore five distinct hubs, including Dragon Castles, Arctic Cliffs, and Cortex's Base, each filled with themed challenges and hidden secrets.
