- Swarm: Blobby UFOs
- When you have the swarms of enemies just focus on the yellow
ones to build up your time. These guys fly away from you and can't hit you, so just
focus on hitting as many yellow guys as you can and just keep
firing. Sometimes you'll hit things before or after you can seethem.
- Green - nothing
- Yellow - 1 sec
- Blue - Purple gem
- PropellerBot with 6 little PropellerBots
- When you face the big guys with little guys flying around
remember you can't hurt the big guy until you take out the little
guys. Try to get them as they are going away from you. After you
get the little guys just go crazy on the big guy cause I don't
think he can hurt you.
- little - 1 sec/Hit you - 1 sec
- Big - Yellow Gem or 3 Sec
- 6 sets of 2 Lines of 3 Monkeys on Pogo Sticks
- With double lines of enemies try to position yourself where you can
take out both lines. If you destroy the entire set the next
set will come right away. This helps conserve time. The first time through all are brown but only
some have gems. The ones you get gems from will be yellow next time and give you time.
- Brown - purple gem or nothing
- Yellow - 1 sec
- Hit you - 1 sec
- 14 rings
- In the rings is the only time you should stop shooting. Make
sure you get every ring. You won't gain time, you'll just keep
what you have. After you get the gems each ring is worth 1 sec.
- Gems - Purple Gems are floating in the middle of each ring
- Swarm: Bi-Planes
- When you have the swarms of enemies just focus on the yellow
ones to build up your time.
- Green
- Yellow - 1 sec
- Blue - Purple gem
- Hit you - 1 sec
- Boss - Space Dragon
- The boss can get you coming and going. It is possible to score
hits on him when he's coming at you but your best chance is when
he's going away from you. You have to destroy all the segments
and then the head is vulnerable. The Space Dragon starts out faster than any other but at least he
doesn't speed up. His segments take more hits. You get no time from dragon segments.
- Gems - The dragon gives you a yellow gem.
- Hit you - 3 sec
Normal 2:05 - Fairy - Mustardseed - Autumn
Hard 1:00 - Fairy - Micki - Summer
Some Tips
When you destroy a target that has a gem the gem will fly towards you and you have to catch it. If you miss it you will have to play the course again to get it.
Keep firing, hold down the button for rapid fire or if you are willing to sacrifice a thumb, it is possible to get a higher rate of fire by pressing the button repeatedly. Then move for your target.
Go through a couple times focusing on getting all the gems (mostly the blue enemies). The last gems you get from the boss.
Spyro doesn't go any faster. All you can do is practice. The more you practice the better you'll avoid getting hit, and you'll hit more of the yellow enemies and that will give you more time.
For those that suffer from color blindness Space Age Speedway can be particularly hard to get all the Gems. With the UFOs and the Planes the ones that have Gems are blue and the ones that give you nothing are green and I guess the the greens ones are sort of blue-green. The only tips I can offer being one who is not color blind is that the blue UFOs are darker than the green ones. The blue planes are lighter than the green ones. Try playing in brighter light.
