- What comes in a Skylanders starter pack?
- A starter pack includes the game disc or cartridge, a Portal of Power and a small set of figures and traps or vehicles, depending on the title. Trap Team adds traps and a trap master, Swap Force adds swappable-top figures, and SuperChargers adds vehicles. The exact contents differ by platform, so check the pack for the console you own.
- Which Skylanders games work on which consoles?
- Giants, Swap Force and Trap Team span the Wii, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3 and PlayStation 4, with Swap Force and later also on newer systems. SuperChargers Racing is the racing spin-off and appears on Nintendo platforms including the Wii. Portals are tied to a console family, so a Wii portal will not work on an Xbox.
- Are Skylanders figures compatible across games?
- Most figures work in later games in the series, and each game's portal reads the figure and stores its level and upgrades on it. Older figures generally appear in newer games, but newer figures do not work in older titles. Element and trap compatibility matters in Trap Team, where traps only hold villains of the matching element.
- What is the difference between Lightcore and regular figures?
- Lightcore figures light up when placed on the portal and usually come with a built-in attack or effect in the game. They are otherwise played like the standard version of the same character. Collectors often treat them as a separate variant.
- Do Skylanders figures and portals hold their save data?
- Yes. The figure stores its nickname, level and upgrades, so progress carries between consoles that use a compatible portal. Resetting a figure wipes that data, which matters when buying a used figure. The portal itself holds no game save; that stays on the console.
- Are there Skylanders discount codes?
- Deal.ai checks what Skylanders products actually cost at every store, so a real markdown shows on this page as a deal as soon as it starts, and each product's page has its price history to tell a sale from its usual price.
