There's a nod to a certain man named Bryan, one of the developers at Insomniac, who worked on this game. It's in the Summer Forest hubworld. On the opposite from the Idol Springs portal, there is a wall with a purple crystal on it. Below it is a scribbled text that spells the letters 'B-R-Y-A-N'. There is another place in Summer Forest where you can find this name. In the castle garden area with the Sunny Beach portal, you'll spot the name again, above one of the red buttons.
A nod to Dan Johnson
There's a nod to one of the developers at Insomniac Games in Mystic Marsh. Once you start the level, jump inside the fountain which has these four coins in it. Press 'triangle' to take a closer look at these coins, and you'll see that it has the face of a man on it. This man is Dan Johnson, a guy who worked on several games made by Insomniac, including the Spyro games on the Sony PlayStation.
All Abilities
While the game is paused press circle(x4), square. Spyro now knows how to swim underwater, climb, and headbash.
Amazing view in Summer Forest
This isn't a code actually, it is just a hint or tip. All you have to do is learn to swim, and then that long water tunnel you enter, go up the stairs, get the orb and carefully jump through the hole on left between the hill and tower. You get an amazing view of the water tunnel! Also you can breath fire. Try to flame the fish. It is easier to do with a fireball. Note: you will have to quit the game after this though. But you can come back though.
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.
Big Head Mode
While the game is paused press up(x4), R1(x4), circle. Now Spyro will have a huge head.
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.
Change Spyro's color
To change the color of Spyro, pause the game and enter the following.
Go to the circular area in Aquaria Towers, where you ride the Manta Ray. Follow the edge of the room and ram the sheep that appear. The sheep will regenerate with each "lap" around the room. An extra life is earned for every ten butterflies that are eaten.
Extra lives
An extra life is obtained for every ten butterflies Spyro eats.
Finding Gems
Hold L1 + L2 + R1 + R2 and Sparks will point you in the direction of the nearest Gem.

PS: In the challenge you have to catch 10 green things before hunter does.

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.
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!
Permanent Super Flame Breath
After getting 100% in the game and getting the permanent fireball breath, immediately save and quit and start a new game in a different save slot. You should have the permanent fireball breath from the beginning of the game, making challenges much easier.
