angryponcho plays Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! - Part 14 of 41

Now we can cover Autumn Plains...

Ocean Speedway

Go into the stands and you'll find Queen Finny standing in the center. You can kill everyone else off in the stands with your flame and/or charge attacks for a cheap laugh before doing so if you want.

Anyway, take her challenge and you'll be following Hunter through rings. Fly through all twenty and you'll get the orb.
 

Autumn Plains

There is a spiral staircase near the whirldwind that the orbs activated. If you pay Moneybags 400 gems here, you'll open up the portal to Zephyr.

As you go further into the castle after climbing the ladders, you'll notice the Professor near a door. If you have eight orbs, you can open that door. (If you have less than that at this point, there is seriously something wrong.)

You'll meet Moneybags again in the castle. If you pay him 400 gems, you'll be able to access Shady Oasis.

You'll find a cracked wall before you reach the boss door. Also before the boss door is an island you can glide to. Moneybags will be waiting near the portal, and if you give 100 more gems, he'll open Icy Speedway up.

Anyway, ram into the cracked wall and you'll access a secret area. The whirlwind here will take you to the top of Autumn Plains, and if you glide all the way to the pillar that's separated from the rest of the starting area, you'll find some hard-to-find gems. Also, if you land on the wall near the start, follow it and you'll find another cracked wall on one end. If you ram into it, you'll find another orb.
 

Orbs

1. If you glide to the top of the walls near the start, follow the top of the wall and (if you go the right direction) you'll find a cracked wall. Ram into it and you'll find an orb.

Skill Points

Under 1:10 - Once you get all the gems, try to go for a best time. If you can clear everything in under 1:10, you'll get a Skill Point and an extra life.
