A New Beginning uses a more action-based focus than previous Spyro games. Rather than the previous focus on platforming, the gameplay is now more combat based. Spyro has a variety of combat moves as well as four different breath attacks: fire, electricity, ice and earth, which he can use as both long range and short range attacks. Spyro can also use furies, huge blasts of elemental energy. The game has fewer levels than previous Spyro games, with six levels that progress from a starting point towards a final destination and boss encounter in a linear fashion, and two rail shooter style flying levels adjoining them.

=== Light Glow ===
Since {{revision|5.0-4703}}, light glow will not render correctly when '''EFB to Texture Only''' is enabled. Disabling it fixes the problem.
=== <s>Stretched Light Sources</s> ===
Certain glowing light sources will be broken and stretched from their source to the bottom of the screen. Unchecking "Store EFB Copies to Texture Only" seems to fix this issue. Fixed by {{revision|5.0-4703}}.
