Haunted Towers

The sentient suits of armor are indestructible. You'll have to find the fairies that give you the Superflame power-up in order to defeat them. Some armor suits just block your path while others try to hit you with their helmets. Others still just lie there, completely unenchanted. This is because of wizards that use their magic to bring the armors to life.

If the first fairy doesn't want to stay still, you can glide to the whirlwind, but you'd better be good at jumping. Otherwise, drop down the bottomless pit to lose a life and reset everything.

The Gnorcs with the grenades can hit you more than once pretty quickly if you're not careful. They have a slight delay in their attack, though, as they have to pull the pin with their teeth before tossing it at you.

You may be wondering how to get that last dragon. Well, you'll have to go down the Supercharge ramp, go through one of the doors, take a hard left, and jump until you reach a platform with a whirlwind. From there, take the whirlwind and you'll rescue the dragon. From here, you'll be able to get the rest of the gems.

The fairy here has red hair and is wearing yellow (kinda like Zoe from Spyro 2), and when she gives you the Superflame power-up, you'll be able to use it until you exit the level, making all the suits of armor in this area fair game! You will have to get past all of the knights on the way to this fairy, but if you can pull it off, you can destroy all the enemies in this level easily.
