Trouble with the trolley, eh?
I absolutely loathe that you have to speak to that silly seagull every time you crash the cart during the challenge in Breeze Harbor. It's not helped by the fact that the challenge is difficult and requires several attempts to complete, thus maximizing the replay. . . My brother and I have grown so tired of hearing the line that we've begun using it anytime either of us is frustrated. XD
So yes, this thread concerns your least favorite/most difficult tasks you have to complete to obtain orbs. I'm currently replaying the game from start to finish again, and I'm remembering all of my old aggravations!
Another challenge I disliked was the one with Hunter in Magna Cove. It required you to move so quickly, but the camera was infuriatingly slow to catch up! Also, it was too easy to ram or jump right "through" a crystal at the wrong angle without collecting it. I feel as though I beat it out of dumb luck rather than the use of actual strategy.
Anyone else left grumbling at the television screen after a certain challenge?

Re: Trouble with the trolley, eh?
The challenge in Scorch, where you have to avoid the bombs of the flag thief. I used to just jump around randomly, and sometimes it paid off.. other times it didn't!
Also, another one would have to be.. erm, the target shooting in Canyon Speedway. I reckon that was Hunter's hardest challenge, but yesterday I tried it again and did it first time!

Re: Trouble with the trolley, eh?
"Trouble with the trolley" is definetly an infamous phrase in the gaming community.
The one mini-game I will forever hate is the final bonus skateboard round at the of Year of the Dragon. The rollercoaster in Dragon Shores can also get mind-numbingly frustrating. Also, I forgot where it is, but in that one underwater level in Midday Gardens in YotD with the seals and stuff has that mini-game where you have to get to the egg at the end of a current without hitting bombs and killing all the rhynocs. While it doesn't take that long to beat after a few tries, I lost so many times because of the super awkward controls and speed.
In this game though, getting the hockey skill point is the one I will agree with being the hardest thing in the entire game.

Re: Trouble with the trolley, eh?
I shall forever loathe the challenge that the saying "Trouble with the trolley, eh?" has arisen from. LOATHE IT, I SAYS!!
Oh god, looking at my old posts on here are absolutely cringeworthy. Hard to believe I made any friends, lol.

I'm not fond of that one either. Usually I try to complete each level the first go-around, but that's always a challenge I come back to.
The rollercoaster in Dragon Shores can also get mind-numbingly frustrating.
Ah, I remember spending the better part of two days trying to beat that challenge with a friend. It's been forever. I vaguely recall that there were balloons of some sort that kept flummoxing me?
And you mean the hockey skill point in Colossus? I actually thought it was fairly easy, if so. . . I discovered what I didn't know years ago, that you could flame the minion and temporarily put him out of commission. Also, if you skate towards the goal and stand at a certain distance from the goalkeeper each time, you almost always score without trying. I was really surprised at how easy it was for me to get the skill point the second time, since when I was younger it took endless tries. XD
Unrelatedly, I really like your banner. Is the art your own?

Re: Trouble with the trolley, eh?
I also don't like the task of getting the four skill points in the speedways. (doing it under a certain time). I'm currently playing Spyro 2 now, everything 100%, with 64 Orbs and 10,000 gems, and I have 11 skill points. I just need the speedway ones, but it's hard..

Which speedway is it? The only skillpoint I'm missing is in the first speedway. I think it's called Ocean Speedway...
That trolley challenge was pretty hard back when I first started the game. I was about to hit my TV the next time that idiot said that. XD I started the game over recently, and it wasn't as hard as I remembered. It only took about 10 times instead of 50. =P
The Magma Cone challenge was really annoying too. I wish you could just have flamed Hunter out of the way or something.
The more memorable hard challenges for me were in YotD. Haunted Tomb Cannon Challenge, and Agent 9 places.

Exactly! I just began following him around at one point and trying to snatch the crystal before he made a grab for it. However, it was still irritating, because you have to be positioned in front of him - the game designers decided to make Hunter's head too high for dragons to coast over.
Then again, most of the games have irritating object radius issues. I hated that those silly adoring cavemen would jump right into your way with their love bubbles, especially when you were trying to go flame the rest of the dinosaurs in time so that their friends didn't get eaten. XD

Re: Trouble with the trolley, eh?
I actually liked the trolley one and the one with Hunter in Magma Cone. The one i hate is that one in Scorch how you have to shoot the guy off the flag pole and then dodge his bombs. I stupidly couldn't see him on the flag pole a couple of years ago and I would stand there and stare and stare and I still couldn't see him

Re: Trouble with the trolley, eh?
By far the worst challenge is were you have to save the villagers from the dinosaurs.

Re: Trouble with the trolley, eh?
Im not sure if it was Spyro 2 or 3, but I remember a quest involving a little guy from the Haiku level (probably more likely to be Spyro 3) who always went
"Owwwwwwwwwww
I went boom again"
That for sure was up there with
"Trouble with the trolley eh ?"

it's good to know how to hack...
It's possible to fly outside of the speedways.

Re: Trouble with the trolley, eh?
That's why I like to use the swimming glitch to get those stupid gears instead. XD Another way is to double jump onto the track.
The hardest challenge for me would have to be the Hatching Dinosaurs challenge. I can never ever get it. x_x
That and the secret agent mission at the wizard place. That guy is so annoying.

Re: Trouble with the trolley, eh?
I don't like the alchemist minigame in Fracture Hills. Why is the alchemist always going into the ...stone men (I can't remember their name). I've done it on 15th try, but if you have the super flame it is easy.

Argh, yeah! Those Earthshapers sure were annoying. And the stupid alchemist always walks the wrong way!
