Skylanders Imaginators (PS4)

Product Information

When 3DS counterparts of the games were still released, they were the only versions to have world names succeeding the levels in that world; while the console only had Chapters around various themes (and, in SuperChargers' case, normal levels divided by said Chapters). Spyro the Dragon is implied to take the leader role of the Skylanders when a Portal Master isn't available. For various reasons, the main game that was supposed to succeed Imaginators was cancelled, with only remnants found in Crash Bandicoot N.Sane Trilogy's code: the unfinished Skylanders WranglerFire, BlasterTech and BruiserUndead. SuperChargers is the fifth installment in the series. It introduces a new group of Skylanders called the SuperChargers who pilot special vehicles (Land, Sky and Sea) that allow the Skylanders to create rifts to travel through, like portals, while stopping Kaos who’s created The Sky Eater powered by The Darkness which has plans of its own. Two characters exclusive to the Nintendo console versions are Mario franchise characters Donkey Kong and Bowser as Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and Hammer Slam Bowser, along with their respective vehicles, the Barrel Blaster and Clown Cruiser. The characters, but not their vehicles, which were made exclusively for the game, also function as amiibo figures. The Wii and 3DS versions of the game are titled Skylanders: SuperChargers Racing and focus on the racing elements only. The plot for this version is where the SuperChargers compete in a race sponsored by Pandergast and the winner will win a snow globe which will grant one wish. This was the last game to be released on tablets. The game takes place in a world called Skylands, a realm filled with adventure and floating islands. It is the center of the universe that is constantly threatened by evil forces who seek to rule Skylands and gain access to all worlds. [3] A band of heroes called the Skylanders use their abilities and machinery to defend their world from various threats, which they have done for generations. They have worked with the Portal Masters in keeping peace and balance in Skylands, battling the forces of evil, and protecting the Core of Light. Kaos, the main antagonist, has destroyed the Core of Light and Skylands is in his hands. It is up to the player to send the Skylanders into the game and stop Kaos. The Skylanders have an unbreakable bond with their Portal Masters. Each Skylander is associated with one of the ten elements of Skylands: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Magic, Tech, Life, Undead, Light, and Dark. The main plot is the Skylanders going through levels to defeat Kaos, and stop him from ruling over Skylands. The console versions of each game follow identical storylines, while the Nintendo 3DS versions follow stories different from those of the console versions. The mobile games had different gameplay mechanics and also had a unique story to account for them.

The most notable differences are found in the Nintendo 3DS versions of all games, which are completely different. These versions have unique stories and gameplay that are more focused on platforming. Additionally, they use a separate, smaller portal that communicates via the console's infrared. In the first two games, players had to "load" two figures, and were able to swap between them at any time using the touch screen until a new Skylander is loaded to replace them. Beginning with Swap Force, every figure scanned is permanently saved into the game. In Trap Team, villains are captured using the touch screen instead of using real-life traps, which the 3DS portal does not support. Bradley, Dan (June 14, 2016).

A series of books in the Skylanders franchise started with Skylanders: The Machine of Doom that takes place before the events of Spyro's Adventure.
