Hey I wanted to make a thread about any secrets or Mistakes I find in Swap force, Let me know if you find any so I can add them too the list!

Secrets
-Double troubles Beam attack makes sheep in wood-burrow change colors!
-Pressing Up, down, left, or right on the d-pad controller for Xbox360 will make any new landers or swap force display a emotion, Surprised, Sad, Happy, Mad.
- The Flowers near the training dummies change color depending on your element
- The Fireworks on top of the Great Hollow can be set off with a Fire attack
- A rainbow will appear between a island full of treasure and the training dummies between 3pm and 6pm depending on your consoles time!

Mistakes/Glitches
-Ignitor is suppose to have blue paint on his (mouth?) guard but it's pure silver making him look weird.
-

Double Trouble's beam changes a sheep's color regardless of game

what causes the rainbow to appear or disappear?

what really? o.o I never noticed it in giants

It's been around as long as Double Trouble has been around.

According to the guide it's only there between 3pm and 6pm (based on your consoles time)

I'm liking the daily bonuses. That's a neat feature. (Sunday - Double XP. Monday - +10 speed, not sure about the others.)

You can set off the fireworks in town by hitting them with a fire attack.

The flowers near the training dummies change colour to the element of the last skylander to stand on them.

There is even a cheevo/trophy for the fireworks on the 360/PS3 versions.

Does the daily bonus work offline? As it counts for a achievement/trophy.

1). Legendary Light-core Chills Golden Narwhal is now normal colored instead of golden...

2). Skylanders Quest Rank now gives a small bonuses to a stat upon completion of each tier. (Bronze, Silver, and Gold)...
2.1). So far only my series 1 Spyro has complete one lvl (Bronze lvl) and has gained a bonus 25 health points, I don't know if this is the same for all skylanders or
if each one has a different stat boost at each quest lvl...

3). Heroics from Skylanders: SSA and Giants DO give a small boost to stats in this game.

The side-scrolling mini-game in Woodburrow contains lots of gold.

Near the end- right in front of the present- look at how the coins are arranged.

It says VV!!!

Daily Bonuses
Monday - +10 Speed

I was thinking does anyone else think there will be different bonuses for Halloween, Christmas and New Year?

That was my first thought. Will be interesting to see!

Rare variants, like Rock Zook, Glitter Sprocket, and E3 Hot Dog, all have an exclusive "Rare" tag with them, instead of Special. S2 Glow-in-the-dark, Pumpkin Eye Brawl, and in-game variants all have the "Special" tag now.

In the games coding, there are names for each rare variant for Giants.
-Iridescent for the Metallic Purple figures
-Rock for the variants of the same name
-Sparkle for the variants of the same name
-Flocked for the variants of the same name (Except for S1 Stump Smash)
-Glow for the exclusive variants of the same name (Except for the S1s)
-Amazon for the Amazon-exclusive Gold Flameslinger

These are not used, but they were probably going to be used in an earlier build of the game.

Does it works on any console (Wii)? for this, and the faces?

You mean updates?

-L-Bouncer (and I think all the others legendarys,) don't have a special colored attack! Like the shooting lazer mines... They're gray instead of golden! And like someone said, Chill only has a normal armor...
-On the Wii, Dark stealth elf has a black and gold armor... making her look like the legendary one!

Everyone DOES know that you can turn off WiFi and change your date manually and find out now. I used that trick for fulfill requirements related to date on Batman Arkham City.

1). Legendary Light-core Chills Golden Narwhal is now normal colored instead of golden..

I also noted that Legendary Chill's ice javelin (on the upper path) is now gold and glowing instead of ice blue. It still appears as blue and glowing when thrown, however. This is on the Wii version. If it changes on the PS4, I'll post an update.

That would be me, and the ice javelin thing does glow, on xbox as well, although mine is the Legendary Light core, so... I Dunno, I think it glowed in giants as well.

the rainbow appeared at 8 for.me and my system time is correct

BTW, another random thing is that the Gold cap per-character has been raised from 65000 to 65535.

Also, has anyone noticed that when you stand still with a skylander, the skylander starts to stare up, as if he/she is looking at thier portal master? has anyone noticed?

Yes. It was interesting. A nice detail.

I find it cute
But it scares me some Skylanders dont "blink" at you, with means they have no eye-Oh crap what whas that word again- ah you know what i mean

Especially Stealth Elf with these blank-non-pupill-white eyes.... scary....

yeah agreed..... altho its not that scary, Stealth Elf's eyes are a bit of oval, making them look like they're staring at something....all the time, from left to right

YIKES!

Here's a glitch I found.

In the fire gate place called Fiend Furnace, Hot Dog's Wall of Fire doesn't work, and the attack is rendered useless. I'm not sure if this happens in other parts of the game or indeed in Giants as well, but yeah.

Check out Eyebrawls head when you first put him on the portal. When he first comes on and says, "i got my eye on you" in the eye it looks like a head or reflection of a head. Weird.

Star Strike can attack while jumping

This was posted by wdrumz and TheSkylanderBoyAndGirl on YouTube. You need the ToT adventure pack and must have beat Chapter 1 to unlock Woodburrow. Go to the training dummies in Woodburrow and use the Sky Diamond. Once the diamond is used, hit the dummies as much as possible. Once you have finished, you should have 2400-3200 money on the Skylander. Join a new chapter and immediately head back to Woodburrow and repeat it again. I'm not sure if this is a secret or a glitch but considering it involves money, I might as well say it is a glitch. I have only seen it on WiiU though, so try it on other versions to see if it works(excluding 3DS).

ooooolllldddd neeeewwwwsss sorry mate

You don't need a swapper to open the dual element gates, you just need two players each with the corresponding elements required to open the gate.

In one cutscene where kaos is playing a board game, one of the game pieces is count moneybone from the 3ds version.

And the Wilikin are mentioned.

has anyone noticed that once you beat the story mode, another chest appears in the great hollow. I keep trying to open it but it won't let me!!!! P.S. on the most recent skylanders boomcast, the guy said that there was a way to get into the mystical pool but how?

Well then how do you get into it? I NEED TO KNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I got a secret for everyone and it's pretty interesting. Has anyone noticed the soul gems just so happen to be all characters who came out early and those yet to come in wave 3. To some it may seem like the biggest flopping coincidence they ever saw, but to me, it seems quite bizarre that this game has soul gems of guys out or coming soon in the earlier stages. Just look at the guide so far and you will understand what I'm getting at. If it follows, maybe it can give a hint to when the others will come out.

Uh... Do you need to shout?

I, too, am looking for answers to mystic pool and 2nd chest for Wii version. Any help would be appreciated!!

Solution: Don't buy a Wii...

Yeah... sorry to break it to ya but apparently, as far as i know. The pool cannot be entered in the wii version. Onlymon the HD consoles.

Well then what about the second chest?! I can't open it...EVER!

put a 3ds giants portal next to the swapforce portal (so they touch ) and put a skylander ont the 3ds portal and none on the swapforce portal and the skylander appear on the screan and works.3ds portal dont need to be on.

Well this is creepy
When Grim Creeper does his Spook and Destroy attack you can see his skeleton in his armour.

On the ps3 version, the one on the right is a spark lock chest and the one on the left is a specific element chest, but I have no idea if it's the same for the wii version.
