Although there were other boss levels guarding each home world, many of these were optional and did not have to be beaten to progress in the game. Each level was attained through 'portals,' accessed from a main 'home world.' The game culminated with a fight between Spyro and Gnasty Gnorc, the final boss and main antagonist of the first game.
