An important type of Imaginators figure that does not have these platforms is the Creation Crystal, a new figure type introduced with Imaginators, that allows you to create your own Imaginator characters in the game. Scammell, David (February 5, 2015). "New Skylanders game confirmed for 2015". VideoGamer.com . Retrieved February 5, 2015. For example, the character Shroomboom had his "Series 1" debut figure in the second Skylanders game, Skylanders Giants. However, he did not have a figure in the third game, Swap Force, at all. Instead, his "Series 2" figure came in the fourth game, Trap Team, as Sure Shot Shroomboom. So for this character, if you have the "Series 2" version of his figure from Trap Team, using the rule of thumb, since his "Series 1" debut was in Giants, his "Series 2" Trap Team figure is compatible with Giants, Swap Force, Trap Team, and later games. It is also the first game to reference demons since the Book of Elements series, with the Dark creation crystal set and the Demon Staff.

Figures that were released for the Swap Force game will work in Swap Force and later games, but not necessarily in Spyro's Adventure or Giants, which both came before Swap Force. Robertson, Andy (October 5, 2015). "Skylanders SuperChargers Review (Wii U)". Nintendo Life . Retrieved March 28, 2022. In Skylanders: Trap Team, a new portal dubbed the Traptanium Portal was created to include the Portal Villain Vault and a Trap slot for capturing Villains as well as use them in battle. The portal also has a built-in speaker where captured villains can talk through. This portal is very flat and has a blue ring acting as a railing.

Look at the very bottom of your figure. If there is a thin, red, semi-transparent plastic base layer on the underside, then it is a figure from the Trap Team game. The Skylanders are still trapped on Earth, frozen as toys. A few of them have been collected and placed inside displays of a toy store called Super Toy Planet, where the toy form of Kaos was also housed in. However, Kaos broke free of his statue-like form due to his Portal Master status, and the frozen Skylanders inside a toy display nearby could do nothing, but make idle threats to Kaos as the evil Portal Master taunted them before returning to Skylands with the use of a Portal of Power. According to Glumshanks in Skylanders: Giants, Portal Masters should not use the Portal of Power on themselves, as it will cause them extreme pain when transporting between realms, and electrical discharges that go on for some time. However, Kaos' Mom appears unaffected despite using it on herself several times.It is sometimes difficult to find at first glance what part of a vehicle figure is the bottom, but search for the words and symbols etched into the plastic on the figure somewhere, and that will help assist you in determining this. However, they still have smaller rosters than other elements, as well as much smaller symbols in the logo.

However, one of the key principles is to retain its accessibility. They hoped that players can make use of their creativity to create unique Skylanders, and that the team " can't wait to see what people create". This mechanic was inspired by a fan letter after the release of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. Selected player-created Imaginators have been printed out through 3D printers by the Skylanders team. [6] As this creation mechanic introduced lots of new characters, the team decided to create a story that puts a huge emphasis on existing characters, so that these characters would remain relevant to the franchise. [7] Toys For Bob was uncomfortable with the inclusion of microtransactions, with not enough content being added in due to time constraints and the story writers couldn't tell the game story and experience that they wanted. [4] For god's sake just make character dlc. I'll never buy any of these games because I need separate toys. Keep in mind that if a character had their "Series 1" or debut figure in a given Skylanders game, then you can use newer versions of that character's figure in their "Series 1" game, and any game after it. The older 3DS portals has a USB port which can be used to connect to the console versions of Spyro's Adventure, Giants, Superchargers and Imaginators.**

The scanning to save is for when you want to play them in another game/on another console - otherwise, you're fine scanning them the initial time to add them to the collection, and just going through the list to choose who you want to be at any moment if you're only playing the Switch version. It's a manual choice to save (talking to an NPC), rather than forcing you to save to the figure if you want to keep using it. The racing elements of the full game were developed by Beenox. [10] The Nintendo 3DS and Wii versions only feature this racing portion, [11] because porting the full current-generation game was considered "a big challenge" and game director Maxime Montcalm said that "nobody could do it". There’s an adventure mode where all of Skylands compete in a Grand Prix sponsored by Pandergast for the Snow Globe of Destiny which will grant the winner one wish. [12] SuperChargers Racing is the final Skylanders installment to be released on the Wii and Nintendo 3DS. In 2016, it was announced that Activision Blizzard Studios would produce an animated television series based on Skylanders. [10] The first season debuted on Netflix on October 28, 2016, the second season on October 6, 2017, and the third and final season premiered on September 28, 2018. [11] [12] On April 30, 2019, it was announced that Skylanders Academy was cancelled. [13] Possible film [ edit ] Searching for the Activision logo etched into the underside of a figure is the most reliable way of confirming that you are looking at a Skylanders figure when in doubt, and applies to every figure in the franchise, not strictly SuperChargers vehicles. Most figures, but not all, will have their in-game element symbol etched there as well.
