The final egg + gems in Tree Tops

[Cosmic Canvas]

I have spent hours here and explored every inch of the level but cannot get to that final tree top over the Return Home teleporter. I don't want to look it up, I want to solve it myself, but hope is growing more and more dim. I just don't know what I'm missing. Would anyone be willing to give me just a little HINT? A little point in the right direction?

hello,

congratulations, you have joined countless players all around the globe who were enraged by that level back in 90s and in a current year after Remake drop-in. this, along with "trouble with the trolley eh?", the most know developers' sadistic pranks

don't feel bad for not being able to figure it out. it is really convoluted and unintuitive puzzle - everybody struggled with it

anyway! in order to get on that island you must chain together dozens Supercharge routes, including running them BACKWARDS (against the navigation arrows). you must run thry most of Supercharges, jump on another one, then on another, then on another, sometimes doing 180 turns in air - the certain combination of routers will lead you far and high enough that you will be able to glide on that island and get the treasures

there are plenty of guides on YouTube. if you really do struggle with getting here, then watch them. no hard feeling. that section is annoying

Jesus christ. Are you serious? That is sadistic. How is anyone even supposed to know that one can link supercharges? I am not sure I would have ever though of this. Well thank you so much for letting me know because... wow. Just wow...

There's a dragon you rescue at the first supercharge ramp from which you can actually get to another who tells you that this is something you can do. So it's obscure - but they do tell you.

This is by far the worst spot in all 3 games, i wonder how people could come up with the right sequence back in the 90s with no Internet to look it up. I remember that this was one of the things I couldnt complete in Spyro when I was 12 :D

I did it somehow as a kid with no Internet or game magazines and being dumb as f1ck

couldn't do it my 30yo - and had to google the guide

Someone else mentioned it but the dragon tells you. The landing above the world exit is easy. The island off to the side with the last dragon took some tries to figure out. Helpful to have some lives built up so you can respawn at certain checkpoints.
