Speedway Orbs:
     To earn the Orb in each of the four speedways you must first find
the  hidden task to perform. The game cannot be completed 100% without
the Orbs.

Ocean Speedway:
     There  is  a  large group of spectators, ahead and to the left as
you  begin  the  level . Fly to them and talk to the fish-like lady to
acquire the task. Complete the task to receive an Orb.

Metro Speedway:
     Fly  toward the large group of buildings. There is a waterfall in
the  center  of  them.  Fly behind the waterfall to find a person that
will reveal the task for the Orb.

Icy Speedway:
     Fly around the main island until you locate a igloo. Headbash the
igloo and Hunter will give you another task.

Canyon Speedway:
     Follow  the  path  of  goats  until  reaching  the  area with the
circling  vultures.  Fly  high  above  to  the canyon rim and look for
Hunter in a little nook.

Summer Forest Orbs:
     Find  Hunter  near  the large pond and he will reveal a series of
jumps to perform.

     Dive  down  a  pool  of  water to your left where you started the
level. Climb the stairs at the end to find the Orb.

     Once  you  have  learned  to climb, go to the large orange circle
room. Climb the ladder to find the Orb.

     There  is  a  door  then  some stairs in the room where Moneybags
lowers  a wall. At the top should be a window and a closed door to the
right.  Glide  out the window and move to the left into another window
to find the Orb.

Autumn Plains Orbs:
     Before the stairs leading to the Boss Are some cracks in the wall
which  you  can ram through. Use the whirlwind, and then the next one,
to reach the high tower. From here, look ahead and you will see a tall
platform in the distance, outside and to the left of the outer wall of
the main yard. Glide to it and get the Orb.

     Another  description  to get this Orb is as follows: climb up all
the  ladders  next to Moneybags. Turn left at the portal to Scorch. Go
down the hallway until you find a cracked wall on your left. Break the
wall  by  charging into it. Go up the whirlwind. At the top of it, you
will  find a few gems. Then, go up the other whirlwind. Glide from the
platform  to  the  long green platform. There should be an Orb at that
location.

     From  the  tall  platform  (above), glide the outer wall and make
your  way to the left. At the end you should see another cracked wall.
The Orb is inside.

Winter Tundra Orbs:
     Use  the whirlwind in the courtyard to rise high in the air. From
here,  go  right  and find the a waterfall going into a pool of water.
Dive in the water and follow the path to the last Orb. You should come
out near Canyon Speedway.

     Use  the whirlwind again to go to the left side of the courtyard.
Land on the wall. The Orb is just sitting there and is easy to find.

     After  you  learn how to headbash, look for the largest rock near
the  entrance  to the courtyard. Headbash the rock and to find the Orb
inside.

Epilogue:
     Complete  all  sixteen  skill  points  to  unlock  the "Epilogue"
section  in  the guidebook. This option reveals what happens after the
game  as  well  as  enemies  that  were made but were not in the final
version.

10,000 gems:
     Money  Bags  gives you all your gems that you paid him back after
beating  Ripto,  thus  giving  you 10,000 gems if you collected all of
them.

Permanent Super Fireball:
     You  get  to  go  to  "Dragon  Shores" after defeating Ripto. All
10,000  gems  and  64  orbs  are  required  to  enter the door at that
location. A permanent Super Fireball power-up is inside.

     After  completing  the  game  and  receiving  100%,  pick  up the
Permanent Fire Ball ability, finish "Dragon Shores" and exit the game.
Then,  without  turning  off  the PlayStation, overwrite the character
that  was  just  used  to  complete  the game. Restart the game and it
should  allow  you  to  keep  the  Fire  Ball  ability  from  the very
beginning.

Hints:

Orb on Secret Ledge in Summer Forest:
     To  get  that  orb  at  that  ledge you saw at the last pillar of
Hunter's  challenge,  you  need  to  go  back at the portal leading to
Glimmer  and  then dive in the pond. Follow the path, while collecting
the treasure then go up the steps and get the orb.

Orbs in Autumn Plains:
     To  get  one  orb, you need to find Elora and talk to her. She is
supposed  to  say something about a whirlwind being activated by orbs.
You should collect enough orbs to activate it. When it's activated, go
up then glide to the ledge. Go all the way to the end wall then charge
it to get one orb.

     To  get the other orb on the faraway ledge, climb the ladder near
Moneybags  then  climb those two ladders that leads to the portal near
Scorch.  Go  through  to the tunnel and charge the cracked wall. Go up
the  whirlwind,  collect  the  treasure then go up the next whirlwind.
Make a very long glide to the ledge and finally get the orb!

1. You MUST know the headbash move.
2. You MUST have killed all of the earthshapers, some of them can be 
pushed into lava, the rest are taken care of by...

Earthshaper Bash).
4. You MUST have killed AT LEAST 14 enemies in this area. 

     In  Authumn  Plains/Fracture  Hills talk to Spinner the Faun, she
tells  you  about her friend in the locked room w/o a key. Just to her
left  there  is a little gulley, drop down in there and you'll be on a
path.  Run  down  the  path  (Pressing the square button), through the
power  up  (speed).  Continue  running  breaking through the 1st door.
Follow  the  path around, just as it makes a sharp left press the jump
button (X), but don't release the run button (this whole thing must be
done  while  running  super-fast). You should jump up into the tunnel,
continue  running  through  the tunnel to the right, then to the left,
then JUMP again just after you make your left to clear the edge at the
end  of  the  tunnel  breaking  through  the  2nd  door.  Keep running
following  the  path,  jump over the lava and follow the path breaking
right through the 3rd door, follow the path through this tunnel and as
soon  as  you exit, veer to your left and head up the ramp and through
the  4th  door,  keep following through this tunnel and as soon as you
exit  you'll  be running down a very narrow elevated path. Follow this
path  all  the  way  until  it ends and you will be running super fast
right towards the locked door, jump to clear the edge and bust through
the  door.  The  faun  will  be  waiting  and give you an orb for your
efforts.

out  to the left as normal, but as it starts to turn to the right jump
