Story:

In the beginning, five Dragon families lived in harmony in their Dragon Worlds. This peace was shattered when Gnasty Gnorc, an unpleasant creature resentful of the dragons and their shiny jewels, was banished to the Dragon junkyard, which he renamed Gnasty's World. Using magic, Gnasty cast a spell to trap all dragons in crystal and animated gems into Gnorc soldiers, transforming Dragon Worlds into Gnorc Worlds.

However, Gnasty overlooked Spyro the Dragon, who was too small for the freeze spell to affect. Now, Spyro, the only unfrozen dragon, must travel six worlds, including Gnasty's industrial world, to free the dragons and reclaim their stolen treasure. He is aided by Sparx the Dragonfly and the dragons he rescues, while Gnasty's minions attempt to stop him.
