Spyro

"'It's hard to believe I really managed to make it all the way here, and I'm not about to fall at the finish line. For myself, and for everyone who believes in me, I'll be fighting with everything I've got in order to win.'" Spyro was a contestant in the first season of Video Game All-Stars as a member of Team Squidbeak Splatoon. He later returned to compete again in the fourth season as a member of Mystic Voyagers.

Personality
Spyro is depicted to be strong of heart, being often confident and outgoing, evidenced by his strong bonds with other contestants. However, his confidence can get the better of him, leading to blunder, or a lack of judgement. When he does make a mistake he often does everything he can to make it right. He is protective of his friends and will step in if they are in danger.

Season 1 - Video Game All-Stars Island
Spyro first appeared on the boat with the other contestants in S1E1 - VGAS Kart Arcade GP, where he quickly forms friendships with Lilac and Rise. In the race, he consistently stays in the top half until King K. Rool attacks him with several items, eventually eliminating him from the race. Lilac chooses him first for Team Squidbeak Splatoon, then with his help, they win the second part of the challenge. Their victory doesn't stay sweet, as Falco informs him of Rise making an alliance with most of the rest of the team, then the two agree to look out for each other.

In S1E2 - The Legend of VGAS, he has an easy time climbing the mountain due to experience, helping Lilac reach the summit as well using her locator so she can super jump to him. When enemies attack the group, he retaliates with flame breath to protect his allies, though when they fight Ganondorf, he isn't much help, just getting himself hurt. After Lilac takes the win for their team, she gets injured herself, so Spyro helps her recover.

In S1E3 - Catch Em' Fast!, Spyro opts to go straight for the goal instead of collecting rings for safety, expressing concern that if he did, it would make him look less trustworthy. He generally tries to help where he can throughout the challenge, but his strength doesn't match up to Sonic's, so despite his best efforts helping the team, they lose for the first time. He talks to Falco and Lilac about voting for Rise, as she was plotting against them anyway, which he goes with, even though he feels bad about it. He tries to comfort Lilac after Rise is eliminated and the two get a closer understanding of each other.

In S1E4 - Getting The Cash!, he talks with Lilac and Hiroko about doing better as a team, fearing another loss. The three end up with a strengthened resolve, ready for the next challenge. He doesn't have a good time in the challenge itself, worrying about stealing money, though he tries his best anyway to not disappoint the team. He doesn't get much money, but does well enough at distracting for the team to get a good amount of money and get away. He tries to drive, but upon remembering he has no experience, Hiroko takes over. When they get to Banjo, Spyro tries slowing Mario, but gets injured in the process. He is happy when they are announced as the winners, then Falco and Lilac help him recover.

In S1E5 - Blockheads, Spyro is unaffected by the team swap, which while he is happy to remain with most of his friends, he is saddened by Falco being moved to Team Eggman. He suggests to the team that they each work on one structure each, which the team goes for. He gets more caught up in fighting off monsters in the challenge rather than building, ending up cutting corners on his structure. Overall their team had weaker structures, sending them to elimination. The three that stayed on the team discuss whether to eliminate Marisa or Mugman, as both were new to the team, so less connected. Mugman walks in as they're making the decision, so Spyro tells the others that they should vote Marisa.

In S1E6 - Short, Sweet, and Ink..., Spyro starts with talking to the team again about avoiding another loss, reassuring Lilac by saying he'll have her back no matter what. When the challenge is revealed to be based on Splatoon, he is enthusiastic, knowing that Lilac has the experience. The pair team up for the challenge, bringing them an easy victory. He notices Lilac being close with the Squid Sisters after the match, then later presses her on this as it struck him as odd. She reveals to him alone of her secret agent identity as Agent 4, which he promises to keep secret.

In S1E7 - SPACEEEEE!, he once again is hanging around with Lilac, helping her feel better about missing the Splatfest, then she helps him in turn when he stresses about the possibility of losing the challenge. When the challenge begins, Falco approaches him and promises to throw the challenge so he won't have to worry. Spyro isn't sure if his idea would work, but chooses to believe in his friend, carrying on as normal. He helps the others build a ship and then assists searching for a Metroid. He makes sure Mugman doesn't get left behind for most of the challenge, leaving most of the search to Hiroko and Lilac. In the end their team wins thanks to Falco's strategy holding Team Eggman back. Spyro is concerned for Falco, but when he exits the elimination ceremony completely safe, he rejoices. The pair, alongside Lilac and Hiroko, agree to stick together as the teams dissolve, making it through the game together.

In S1E8 - Star Return, Spyro is disgusted when it is revealed the returning contestant in K. Rool. The contestants agree among themselves to eliminate him straight away, and Spyro sticks to this plan, targeting K. Rool with everything he has in the challenge, though he misses his shots constantly. This makes him furious, leading to him berating K. Rool, saying any other contestant should have returned over him. He then lands a shot, and fuelled by the adrenaline, he goes on to place second in the challenge overall, losing only to Falco. After the challenge concludes, he continues to ridicule K. Rool, finding it fitting revenge for the bullying from earlier in the season. When K. Rool is eliminated, he finds the cabin doors are locked, so he works with everyone else to set up a temporary campsite.

In S1E9 - The Apocalypse, he starts to worry again about their previously established alliance falling apart, but Hiroko sympathises with him, leaving him a little less worried. He has concerns about the nature of the challenge, seeming very worried about the dangers, but is at least slightly comforted when Banjo says they aren't in any danger of death. Still, he barely makes it into a bunker thanks to Lilac's help, leaving him slightly shaken. This isn't helped by more explosions and an earthquake, then even zombie attacks. Spyro jumps in front, making sure Lilac is safe. In the end, Banjo warps the players to an arena to fight. Spyro buys Lilac some time by distracting Mugman, but he is defeated, eliminating him from the challenge. While he is completely safe, he seems incredibly restless about the events, feeling the intensity of the challenge. He weakly congratulates Lilac when she wins, then simply agrees when he is told to vote for Dr. Eggman.

In S1E10 - Whodunnit?, Spyro takes more of a backseat in the challenge, not being comfortable with examining the "dead" bodies, finding that even though they were fake, it was still disturbing. He mostly hangs around Hiroko for the duration of the challenge, calling out Banjo when the "killer" isn't one of the suspects listed. After the challenge, Spyro agrees with the others to vote out Mugman, bidding him farewell. With only their alliance left in the game, Spyro assures the others that they will remain friends no matter what may come. Later on, he finds Falco alone and offers to team up with him, intending to go all the way to the finale.

In S1E11 - VGAS Party, he meets up with Lilac before the challenge, reflecting on what they had accomplished in the game up to that point. They then meet up with Falco and Hiroko, so Lilac sets up a Just Dance party for them. After they finish the game, Lilac lets them keep the phones, saying they should use them to keep in touch after the show ends. During the challenge, Spyro has a strong start, but fails to keep up the streak, worrying about the automatic elimination makes him fall further, despite his best efforts to keep up with the others he ends up in a tiebreaker with Hiroko, which ends in his defeat. He tearfully says goodbye to his friends, making a remark that he never prepared for his own loss before leaving the island.

After his elimination, he reconnects with the friends he made during the game, specifically Mugman and Rise, then gets a call from Lilac, who was already missing him. He and Rise talk to the remaining three players for a while, having a good time. Outside of the initial reunions, he doesn't take the loss well, dwelling on the number of things he could have done to avoid his elimination, sending him on a downward spiral. Upon returning to the island in S1E12 - Shortie Country, he seems slightly bitter over Hiroko being eliminated so soon after defeating him, but he tries to cover it up. He doesn't know how to feel about the situation as a whole, distancing himself from Hiroko as a result.

In S1E13 - A Smashing Finale!, Spyro is chosen to help Falco in the finale, which he gladly accepts. Despite his best efforts to help, Falco loses to Lilac, but neither seem to mind, especially Spyro, congratulating her with much enthusiasm. As everyone goes their separate ways, he thanks the two for sticking with him throughout the season, promising to stay connected.
