There are some enemies that are weak to certain elements but this is not a widespread feature, the main use in-game for the different elements is to unlock extra parts of each level. The characters of Skylanders will each have one of eight elements, these are shown by the type of base their toy has.Īir, Life, Undead, Earth, Fire, Water, Magic, Tech Not all of the characters were released at launch, they have been put out in gradual waves containing new characters and adventure packs every few months, with several still waiting for release. There are also two even rarer Skylanders that were only made available at retail events Metalic Purple Cynder and Pearl Hex. The current confirmed variations are Silver Boomer, Silver Eruptor, Silver Dino-Rang, Gold Drill Sergeant, Gold Flameslinger, and Gold Chop Chop. In-game these do not have a different appearance to their normally painted counterparts so other than the toy's coat of paint they are exactly the same. In the 3DS Starter Pack you instead get Ignitor, Stealth Elf and Dark Spyro, an exclusive character.Īs well as the 37 different recognised toys there are also rare variations of some characters. With the console and PC Starter Packs you get your first three 'interaction figures' to start you off Spyro, Trigger Happy, and Gill Grunt.

In the United States the individual single pack toys were priced at $7.99 each, and there are also larger packs containing three characters. Here are all 32 of the characters, some have multiple forms but they only count as one of the 32. The toys themselves store information inside that relates to your ingame character's progress and levelling to make it simple to use on another's system.

Instead of just playing as Spyro you will have a wide selection of 32 characters to choose from, each of these unique in their own way. Only the players of Skylanders Spyro's Adventure can get them back into their world, by embarking on a fantastical journey where they will explore mythical lands, battle menacing, outlandish creatures, collect treasures, and solve challenging puzzles as a part of the quest to save their world. Each of these heroes is a protector of an amazing, mysterious world, but they have been ejected from their world by the sinister Portal Master known as Kaos and now they are frozen in our world as toys. Here is the premise of the game as told by a press release: Skylanders Spyro's Adventure lets kids take on the role of a powerful Portal Master, who can control over 30 different characters, including the beloved purple dragon Spyro. Once again Spyro has been reset, so this will not be continuing the storyline found within the The Legend of Spyro trilogy. Skylanders sees Spyro introduced to a whole new universe of characters and real world toys that are used as part of the game. A brand new direction for Spyro the Dragon.
