The over-focus on other characters instead of Spyro himself.

In comparison, the Robot Shark of Seashell Shore (the previous Mini-Boss) is far tougher.

Sleepyhead is pathetically easy, with a fighting strategy consisting solely of summoning the small gators you've been beating throughout the entire level and throwing a Cartoon Bomb that can easily be headbutted back.

Makes you wonder why didn't they make Scorch the second boss and Spike the third. Byrd rarely, if ever, throws any healing items. The battle format also allows you to hit him every time that he attacks, which is often, and Bentley throws more healing items than normal as opposed to Spike's battle where Sgt. The missiles Bentley throws to you lock in on Scorch so easily that you almost have to try to miss. Scorch is a fine boss by himself but he comes after Spike, the toughest fight in the series save the Final Boss, so the devs decided to throw you a bone.Is it no wonder that it was prominently featured in promotional artwork? Best Level Ever: It may be insanely hard, but Fireworks Factory is very well remembered by those who've played the game - Greta's actions while following you through the level, the Twin Dragons miniboss (with the Infinite Superfly and Superflame combo powerup!), and one of the game's best soundtrack pieces are the major highlights.Add onto that the gamers who thought Bianca should have been the final playable character instead of him. Base-Breaking Character: Depending on who you ask, Agent 9 is either insanely annoying or insanely hilarious.Awesome Music: Stewart Copeland's score.It's a bit of a disappointment compared to the rest of Super Bonus Round, as well as the sheer amount of effort required just to unlock the fight in the first place. It's incredibly easy to dodge her shots and get hits in. The second fight is completely atypical to the norm, as both her and Spyro fight atop flying saucers trying to gun each other down.Thankfully, the latter issue was fixed with the Greatest Hits rerelease. Early game versions also had a particularly Narmy glitch: the boss fight plays the Sunrise Springs overworld theme, sapping the battle of the intended intensity. The first battle has been criticised for only using one of Spyro's friends (Agent 9), having no dialogue between Spyro and the Sorceress and an overemphasis on using different vehicles to damage her, which falls in with the game's Gameplay Roulette but is considered underwhelming regardless.Anti-Climax Boss: The Sorceress is built up as one of the most powerful threats Spyro has had to deal with, but the two battles she has have issues.Alternative Character Interpretation: Gabrielle, the fairy who grants Spyro ice breath in Frozen Altars is often believed to be working for the Sorceress considering the ' gift' ultimately only serves to inconvenience Spyro by rendering him unable to conventionally melt the giant snowmen rampaging around the realm.
