So its that time of year again. When the new Skylanders is coming out soon and I have to level up all my figures to 20. Anyone have any tips or anything?

Obviously the last one will provide the most XP, but it may be a little too hard for low levels, so I'd recommend the Marsh levels

Hmm all my guys are between 15-18, I'll start in the marsh, does setting the difficulty to hard give you more exp like the last game?

I'm pretty sure difficulty doesn't change the rewards.

There are some additional helpful things to do that someone just mentioned a couple weeks ago in another post.

Basically:

1. You need make sure never to kill more than one bigger enemy at a time or else your XPs will disappear.
   
2. You can level up two characters at the same time by setting the game up for 2 players and letting the second one stand behind the box. They gain the same XP amounts rather than split it.
   
3. Go to Monster Marsh and walk through the level until you get to the villain zone where the bonus kicks in for baddies. With the villain of your choosing in the portal, warp back the academy and go to the Kaos Doom Challenges. You'll notice the XP bubbles are the biggest and best ones and it'll stay like that as long as you don't change your villain to another villain.
   

I feel it's quicker to level on easy as the baddies are defeated more quickly. Typically more reward per minute is better than slightly higher rewards that takes three times longer to obtain. So I level on easy with the cheats mentioned above as it seems faster to me.

The potential problem here is that the Skylander that since the two characters are tied together (no splitscreen), the Skylander you're actually playing will either not be able to get all the way out to where villains and such are spawning (sometimes not far enough to save the outermost towers) or you'll end up teleporting the second Skylander that nobody is playing out to approximately where you are end potentially get them killed since nobody is at the helm

Not a bad strategy, but you've got to be aware of the problems with it and prepared to take action(s) to resolve them if/when they arise.

^ Most people park the 2nd character in front of the Doom Chest....of Dooooommm!

^I park my second next to one of towers...just behind it and use my feet(toes) to push a botton if need be to keep him from being killed....but once the tower is leveled up to the third level the tower dose fine on its own....with the second skylander close by, it remains healed. And i use the Itchy Lilies Marsh...do to the last one(Finally Final Docks)being to long ...19 rounds are a bit much....and i realy hate those whirlwinds.

Wow I tried that monster Marsh thing with taek kwom crow before and did the 2 player thing, that works really fast I leveled up two guys to 20 already

Yup....just call it another of the better gliches....

Wow that was so easy I finished 20 characters up to level 20 today in like an hour or so

If you are going away from home, the Nightmare Express level's last challenge on the 3DS version is pretty good. Any character will be level 20 in less than 30 minutes (3x 10 minute-run). I haven't tried the above method yet, which seems way faster (Kaos challenges without the baddies XP trick yielded only 2-3 levels each past level 10, so it wasn't worth it).
