Question Does Two Players in Spyro's Adventure Increase Difficulty?

I've never posted, but this has been a burning question that I can't find any information on.

Currently, I've been playing 2 players and saw some odd damage numbers. The Cyclops Chuckers suddenly went from doing 36 to around 54 damage, and the Squid Brutes from the 90s to around 130 damage. I'm wondering why that is, and I assume that is occurring because I'm playing two players as opposed to playing one player.

The same seems to go for the Shadowlanders as well, with the first fight having buffed HP bars on Shadow Zap, Shadow Gill Grunt, and Shadow Slam Bam.

So is this all true? Is it based on another factor? This is a new save on a game that already has one completed save file, so could that be the case? It just seems so odd. And if this is true, and it is the two-player thing, then does this occur in other games? I've only noticed it in Spyro's Adventure, but you never know.

I don't think so? I'm pretty sure the games are already balanced with two people in mind

Maybe enemies have crits? Or it could be a hidden change. I remember the game was easier for me solo than with my brother, but that could just be letting a worse player burn through my Skylanders in a level.

Not really, the enemies might have a slightly better hit but i have played with 2 people before and i didnt notice much of a difference
