Part 5
And finally, we reach the fifth and final level that will need completing. The
Professor will tell you to complete each mini-game three times before you can
access the Portal to the main part of the level. Luckily you should have done
that already, but if you have missed any, just go back through the worlds to
the Portal you missed and finish it to a third time.
OK, so just jump into the Portal there and be whisked away to the real Tech
Park. From the start, jump to the right and walk to the Circle Portal; Gravity
Well. While you no longer need to complete each Portal three times, it will
still get you an extra Trading Card if you do, so it's best to do so now before
you forget which ones you have and haven't done.

From the right end of the platform you are on, jump high and
to the right, landing on another platform. This time with Moneybags on. The
most expensive Vase Shuffle game in the game.
| Vase Shuffle - 100 Gems |
| How to win |
| Watch as the card and gem are put
under vases, then attempt to keep track of the one you want while they
shuffle. Then select a vase to see if you're right. If you are win whatever
you get. Some of these cards may be ones you already have, so watch out for
that. I won't list ones that have already been got here. |

Once you've lost or won all you want, move out of the shop.
Move to the right and use the moving platform to get down to a lower platform
with a Gem Rush on.
 | Gem Rush - 100 Gems |
Yet another easy to do run through
of collecting gems. The only problems you might face in this is missing the
moving platform that goes up to a couple of gems, and at the end the way to
get all the gems on the platforms is to go from side to side rather than
attempting to get all the ones in each column first.
Reward: 200 Gems |
|
Move along to the left and grab the big purple gem, then go
back to the right a bit and use the moving platform to get to the ledge above
you. From where the Shop is, jump up onto the platform to the right. Walk along
here and enter the Star Portal; Tech Deflect.
 | Tech Deflect - 50 Gems |
| Attempt 1 |
Exact same game as all the
previous deflection games. Keep the ball on the screen until they're all
dead. There's nothing new here for you to worry about.
Reward: 10 Gems
Trading Card: Spyro Pose 8 |
| Attempt 2 |
Slightly speeded up play.
Reward: 20 Gems |

From here, jump down to the right and land on a blue floating
platform. It has a couple of yellow gems on which you need to collect. Jump
back down to where the Gem Rush Portal was and head back to Moneybags Shop,
right at his feet jump up and to the left in order to land on another blue
floating platform, then use the upwards moving platform to get higher. Jump up
onto the yellow platform to the left and into the Square Portal; Sky Walker,
what has got to be the mot annoying of all the mini-games.
 | Sky Walker - 50 Gems |
| Attempt 1 |
All the hints are given in the
game about when to switch sides so take note of them. There are also several
points in the level that you will be able to fly off into space, so watch out
for that, make sure that you at least try to keep on the blue platforms,
however remember that you can switch even if you're still in the middle of
switching, i.e. in mid-air.
Reward: 10 Gems
Trading Card: Spyro Pose 7 |
| Attempt 2 |
Slightly more difficult.
Reward: 20 Gems |
| Attempt 3 |
Again, more difficult.

From the portal, head left and grab the green gem, then jump
onto the platform to the left to grab the large purple one. Now jump up and to
the left, and you should land right next to the Triangle Portal; Space Shoot.
However, if you so wish, move on to the left a bit further and then jump over
to the Portal Rush.
 | Portal Rush - 100 Gems |
Very short and easy Portal Rush
this time, I really don't see a single problem that might occur in this one.
Easy gems.
Reward: 200 Gems |
|
Now, move back to the Triangle Portal.
 | Space Shoot - 50 Gems |
| Attempt 1 |
Nothing exceptional about this
mini-game, but you should note that the background does change a couple of
times, it means absolutely nothing though and will not affect the gameplay at
all.
Reward: 10 Gems
Trading Card: Dragon Elders |
| Attempt 2 |
Remember the two hit rule.
Reward: 20 Gems |
| Attempt 3 |
Three hits.
Reward: 30 Gems

Now that all the mini-games are complete, it's almost time
for the final boss battle of the game. However there is one last green gem to
collect. Make your way down to the Cross Portal, and head left. Jump over the
moving platform and continue along until you reach it. If this is the final
large gem for you, then you will get a Trading Card; Tech Talisman.
Now head all the way to the top of the level and go to the
right corner. There is the final portal and boss battle of the game.
 | Space Chase |
The final battle with both Ripto
and Cortex will begin. Shoot wildly at the two exhaust pipe thingies that
fire stuff out, shoot until each one has been destroyed. Another large cannon
will emerge from the ship which also requires a shooting. Then once that's
destroyed, two arms will come out. These again require a lot of shooting to
each part of the arms. Once destroyed, it's all over. (There seems to be a
time limit, but I'm not sure what that's about)
Reward: 100 Gems
Trading Card: Bentley |

After Ripto and Cortex fly off into the depths of space, you
hear and see this:
SPYRO: We did it!
AKU AKU: Hopefully we won't be hearing from those two again.
SPYRO: Thanks for all the help, Crash.
SPARX: We couldn't have done it without you.
AKU AKU: We'll be seeing you around , Spyro.
SPYRO: You can count on it!
The credits will then roll. Hold down A to make them go
faster. Once the credits are over, you are spat back out into
Dragon Castles to fully complete it. |
