==Story==
The story begins shortly after ''[[Spyro: Year of the Dragon]]''. The dragons are in celebration of a rite of passage for the young dragons, with the arrival of new dragonfly guardians for the young dragons. However, during the party, [[Ripto]] (who appears to have survived the events of ''[[Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!]]'') teleports in via a portal and disrupts the celebration, intent on capturing the new dragonflies to weaken the young dragons. However, his spell misfires, and the dragonflies become scattered throughout the Dragon Realm. Spyro is tasked with recovering the realm's new crop of dragonflies.

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 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>
