Spyro 2: Season of Flame is the sequel to Spyro: Season of Ice. All the old characters from previous games are there, with Hunter and Bianca, and the player can also control Sheila the Kangaroo and Agent 9. Spyro has a few unusual abilities in this GBA game, including a fire/ice breath toggle. Some items can only be affected by one or the other. Unlike the PSX games, Spyro is presented primarily in an isometric view.

The Rhynocs kidnapped the Dragon Realms' fireflies, which resulted in the dragons losing their ability to breathe fire. Spyro goes on a journey to rescue the fireflies.
