GARION MODE

SUMMARY, NOT SUMMERY
"GARION MODE" is a lite colloquialism used to define moments where Gentle Tauradonna Oathsworn combines creativity and skill expression in the Classic Spyro PS1 Trilogy games, through extra goals done for fun. Its origin came from Gentle's "Competitor's Video For Road To Spyro Kingdom" video, and referred to a way in which Gentle adapted his recreation of the ISGP 2018 Grand Final Bingo Board.

There are multiple types of GARION MODE Activations:


 * 1) "Continuity Nod" - usually a reference to a past race in International Spyro Grand Prix or Super Gex League history
 * 2) "Custom Routing" - usually Gentle just specifies what he intends to do, while otherwise completing the goal as normal (e.g. "100% 1 Sparx Level" --> "100% Bugbot Factory")
 * 3) "Pragmatism" - usually Gentle does something "out of the way" which ends up working in his favour for pragmatic reasons (e.g. "While defeating All Thieves in Spyro 1 is the Main Goal, I must also free All Dragons in Gnorc Cove, Twilight Harbour, Tree Tops, and Alpine Ridge")
 * 4) "Stinger" - usually a funny thing done after all other tasks are completed as normal (e.g. "100% Beast Makers and Defeat Gnasty Gnorc" --> "100% Beast Makers & Defeat Gnasty Gnorc; AFTERWARD, Free Nestor")
 * 5) "Brutal Difficulty" - usually when Gentle wants to make a task "harder" (e.g. "While doing the ISGP1 Grand Final Bingo Board, I am not allowed to use the All Worlds Cheat for Spyro the Dragon")

So far, only Gentle has sincerely gone out of his way to activate GARION MODE. When other people refer to "GARION MODE" as a term, it's usually meant as a jab at the fact Gentle's "GARION MODE" activations are overly complex and grandiose.
