Editions & platforms
| Edition | Platform | Differences & notes |
|---|---|---|
| Original (1998) | PlayStation 1 | The original has no end-of-glide hover or Reignited Skill Points. |
| Reignited remake (2018/2019) | PS4 / Xbox One / Switch / Windows | Same world structure and collectible goals, with new Skill Points, platform achievements and Sparx’s gem pointer. |
Jumping, gliding and collecting with Sparx
Jump near the edge and start gliding at the apex. Flame large unprotected enemies and charge small armoured ones. Check each container type: charge metal vases, and find the matching key for a locked chest.
Sparx changes colour when you take damage and picks up nearby gems. Flame small fodder animals to release butterflies. In Reignited, click the left stick to point toward a missing gem. Check for differences in elevation.
Artisans: getting started and finding the first eggs
| Area / goal | What to do |
|---|---|
| Artisans → Peace Keepers | Rescue 10 dragons in total and speak to the balloonist. The homeworld and regular portals already provide enough. |
| Stone Hill | Enter the cave from the beach for the key. For the egg, use the tower to glide to the raised grass and chase the thief. |
| Dark Hollow | Flame large enemies wearing metal helmets and attack shielded enemies from behind when they turn. |
| Town Square | From the raised platform with chickens, glide back around the wall corner and chase the egg thief along the upper ledge. |
| Sunny Flight | Jump onto the five flat stones in the homeworld pond to reveal the portal. For 300 gems, plan a run that clears all four target groups. |
| Toasty | Flame the dogs twice from a safe distance, then flame the boss’s straw body. Step out of the dog’s landing area after the first hit. |
Peace Keepers: cannons and canyons
| Area / goal | What to do |
|---|---|
| Peace Keepers → Magic Crafters | Collect 1,200 gems in total. Use the last cannon on the marked rock to reach Night Flight and the back of the homeworld, where an egg thief also waits. |
| Dry Canyon | Chase the egg thief on the left near the start. Later, glide from the area of the second dragon to the rock ledges for a key and a hidden dragon. |
| Cliff Town | Recover the egg from the village thief. From the area by the exit, glide across the river to the high ground and its gems. |
| Ice Cavern | Search the inner ledges and beneath stairways for gems. Charge armoured enemies off the ice platforms. |
| Night Flight | Follow the target groups in a loop and plan changes of direction. Fly through rings and arches and flame chests and lights. |
| Doctor Shemp | Circle Shemp and flame his exposed back when he turns after an attack. |
Magic Crafters: the region’s seven eggs
| Area / goal | What to do |
|---|---|
| Magic Crafters → Beast Makers | The balloon requires five eggs in total. The homeworld has two thieves, one by the entrance and one near the supercharge ramp. |
| Alpine Ridge | Wait for moving platforms to line up. Glide from the high ground near the exit to the cave across the gap for the thief. |
| High Caves | Use the supercharge ramp or the fairy’s kiss against metal spiders. For the first egg thief, supercharge off the ramp across the canyon into a cave. The second circles a small pool in the cave by the bridge area. |
| Wizard Peak | Collect one egg from the thief on the regular route. Combine both supercharge ramps for the long jump to the isolated platform; the second thief waits behind its wall. |
| Crystal Flight | Group rings and arches into continuous routes and flame chests and planes. Use each target’s time bonus. |
| Blowhard | Wait until Blowhard becomes vulnerable after his tornado attack, flame him and follow him through the cave to the last platform. |
Beast Makers: supercharge and swamps
| Area / goal | What to do |
|---|---|
| Beast Makers → Dream Weavers | Rescue 50 dragons in total for the next balloon. Check the swamp portals and return to earlier worlds for missed dragons if needed. |
| Terrace Village | Wait for a safe phase before crossing electric floors. Reach the roof edges and fireworks from higher platforms. |
| Misty Bog | Flame the attacking plants early, before they lunge. After finding the exit, backtrack for the branching swamp areas. |
| Tree Tops | Use the chain of supercharge ramps to follow the thieves across gaps. Reaching Jed requires linking several platforms while maintaining speed. |
| Wild Flight | Clear the arches and boats above the water in one sweep. Plan the chests and planes as the next loop. |
| Metalhead | Charge the power pylons while they glow green. When Metalhead retreats after the first round, follow him into the second chamber and repeat. |
Dream Weavers: cannon, light and superflame
| Area / goal | What to do |
|---|---|
| Dream Weavers → Gnasty’s World | Collect 6,000 gems for the last balloon. Take the homeworld cannon and shrink the armoured enemies blocking a route. |
| Dark Passage | Watch the lamps: enemies shrink in the light. After the main path, check the lower glides for additional dragons. |
| Lofty Castle | Free the trapped fairies to create updrafts. Check the platforms beside the towers before moving on. |
| Haunted Towers | Use the fairy’s kiss for superflame against armour and doors. Use the supercharge ramp for the hidden upper areas. |
| Icy Flight | Clear lanterns and chests near the rock wall, then switch to the rail routes for the remaining targets. |
| Jacques | Flame the fools to move platforms temporarily. Chase Jacques and flame him when he stops on his boxes. |
Gnasty’s World: finale and 120%
Story details & possible consequences
| Area / goal | What to do |
|---|---|
| Gnorc Cove | Flame or charge barrels to hit enemies and reinforced containers. Check the corners of the dock before using the return portal. |
| Twilight Harbor | Use a quick flame against the shooters. For Reignited’s “What Really Grinds My Gears” trophy, destroy all six gears in one run. The first is above the updraft at the start. |
| Gnasty Gnorc | Take the keys from two thieves. Follow Gnasty closely and flame him at the end of the circuit. Jump promptly across the retracting platforms over lava and flame him again. |
| Gnasty’s Loot | Free the last dragon in Gnorc Gnexus after the finale and reach 80 dragons, 12 eggs and 12,000 gems. In the bonus level, thief keys lead to higher takeoff platforms. Collect all 2,000 bonus gems. |
Reignited: all 14 Skill Points
| Level | Objective |
|---|---|
| Artisans | Jump from the hill with the two Gnorcs. At the apex, glide to the narrow platform between the towers. |
| Stone Hill | On the upper field with the egg thief, keep to the right-hand edge. Flame the pink tulip in the shade between towers. |
| Town Square | Charge each bull once to lodge its horns in the ground. Flame kills it outright and does not count here. |
| Peace Keepers | Approach the Gnorcs without killing them and drive six into the tents. |
| Doctor Shemp | Finish the boss run without damage. Wait behind Shemp for the opening after his turn. |
| High Caves | Cross the moving platforms. Turn back at the entrance to the next room and flame the hidden painting on the right. |
| Blowhard | Keep a druid alive and stay on one of the platforms he moves for ten seconds. |
| Terrace Village | Finish without taking damage from the electrified plates. Wait off the panels for the power to cut out. |
| Metalhead | Beat Metalhead without damage. Charge only green pylons and watch for projectiles. |
| Dream Weavers | Shrink the two guards with the cannon. Beyond the stairs, step onto the raised ledge and through the apparent wall. |
| Haunted Towers | Ride the updraft behind the metal door. Glide from the raised steps to the castle roof and flame the blue hat. |
| Lofty Castle | Jump from the narrow platform with a tree via the next tree ledge to the grassy area. Charge the hidden stump there. |
| Jacques | Finish the boss run without damage. Jump from safe ground before the fools’ platforms move back. |
| Gnasty Gnorc | Defeat Gnasty without damage. Start the lava jumps promptly once you clear the chase. |
