The game was originally going to contain around 120 dragonflies to collect (not including Sparx), over 25 levels, a framerate of 60 frames per second, and fast loading times. However the game was rushed in order to be available by Winter 2002, and therefore suffers from an inconsistent framerate, long loading times, graphical glitches, sound issues, and lock-ups (freezes). Additionally, there are only 9 levels and only 90 dragonflies for the player to collect.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.gamespot.com/gamecube/action/spyroenterthedragonfly/news.html?sid=6090061&mode=press|title=Preview of Spyro: Enter the Dragonfly|accessdate=}}</ref>
