During a test of it, Hunter enters his birthdate (22475) as the portal's target coordinates, inadvertently activating it and allowing a small wizard named Ripto into the realm along with two large dinosaurs, Crush and Gulp. In the fantasy realm of Avalar, local residents Elora, Hunter, and The Professor have been working on their latest and largest portal.

On May 7, 2009, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! was re-added to the PlayStation Network. A few days later, Sony refunded those who bought the game and MediEvil (another PSone Classic that was released on the PlayStation Network). On August 7, 2007, the game was pulled from the PlayStation Network due to technical issues, such as certain levels failing to load. On July 26, 2007, Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage! was released as a PSone Classic for the PlayStation Network, which is before its predecessor, Spyro the Dragon. Spyro and Sparx are the only two returning characters from the first game. Spyro must travel through the world of Avalar and undo the damage done by Ripto. Idols come to life and attack their creators, Eskimos are encased in ice cubes, and a civilization of seahorses has had its water confiscated. A dinosaur-riding sorcerer, known as Ripto, has invaded the world of Avalar, and is wreaking havoc on its citizens with his magic. In the game, Spyro is placed in Avalar, rather than the Dragon Worlds, where the previous installment was set.

In 2018, the first three Spyro the Dragon games, one of which is Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, were remade for Spyro Reignited Trilogy. It was originally released for the PlayStation in 1999. Spyro 2: Ripto's Rage!, known as Spyro 2: Gateway to Glimmer in Europe, is the second game of the Spyro franchise and a sequel to Spyro the Dragon.
