Is Smash Hit smaller then a Mini? Someones has to test that out when the game comes out.

Crusher looks small..... Don't enjoy that but I'm glad that this ACTUALLY confirms EVERY skylander does race.

So is the final boss? Better give an even BETTER hat than the Rainbow Hat and be even MORE nigh-unbeatable than Traptanium Kaos on a Nightmare.

Just by that i'm SO excited!

The Final boss sounds AWESOME. Glad their bringing back the Darkness. Its been FOREVER!

Just by that i'm SO excited!

I know l, right? It's got to be more epic than Nighmare Kaos in Trap Team. (On knightmare? Of course.)

And then cost me my entire collection in night mare mode.

I hope the website updates soon. I want to see Bone Bash Roller Brawl!

Yeah! I want him to be like Tabuu, and wipe out my ENTIRE collection of Skylanders in one hit much like Tabuu's off waves did to the "Amiibo" (since they're trophies that come to life)

Nah, I'm fine with not wiping to unfair advantage. Seriously, Traptanium Kaos has too many attacks covering the screen for too long to just stand at the most 3 seconds still in Nightmare. It's supposed to be hard, not frustrating. If it's a boss that you CAN beat with one guy(Kaos doesn't count, I mean any decent character) but most people will take many it's fine, but not really a war of endurance where the more money you spent the more chances you've got because nearly everything 1KHOs. Definately wasn't happy into losing all 30 after an entire day trying to beat that mode, fingers already pretty damn sore from switching into villains.

Tabuu is a good example of a good hard boss. You CAN dodge the Off Waves, it just takes an advanced technique that most people aren't going to bother practicing; so they'll spend more lives than someone trying to speedrun or something.

So it's confirmed then....the cards and stickers have become a hybrid? I assume a card that can be peeled to become a sticker?

I was referring to off-waves BEFORE sonic takes out one of his wings. You know, when he took out the ENTIRE roster with a SINGLE blow. There should be an attack like that in ACTUAL gameplay some day, y'know, dodge or its game over. PERIOD. No matter HOW many characters you have left!

I dunno, it felt good to me, as if my collection of Skylanders/villians were ACTUALLY a team. A team can't be built on one member, so it kinda makes sense.

Seems like it. Which, yeah, it's still going to limit people who play with the cards like Top Trump, but at least collectors can still keep track - just put the sticker in cardboard or a thin sheet of plastic and you can still use it the same way.

That would end up being a bit much for a kids' game. Way too many of them will just stand there and take the obvious super move the first time around. I've seen people complain about Kirby Triple Deluxe because the final boss will kill you if you don't retaliate the only way you can in the time - no indication that you CAN do that to begin with however.

Well, that is kind of an issue with current video games. We're not expected to fail and learn by trying stuff. It has to be obvious. Kids used to be able to beat Super Mario bros., Mega Man 2 and the likes, and it wasn't "kids friendly".

Anyway, back on topic. I also hope it gets a bit harder, but not frustrating. I'd like it if there were some things to actually discover or figure out through trial and error, not just by replaying the levels over and over or looking on the web...

Show Rocky Roll or Fright Rider!!! We already saw how regular skylanders drive in one of the trailers with Hex... I want to see how one with a companion can drive.

Maybe the companion does not drive ?

maybe for fright but what about rocky roll has it been stated that the rock is even a living thing?

I feel like seeing Fright Rider or Rocky Roll would be a spoiler for me... Respect that.

Good Eon... Just saw all the Crusher's video...

The racing is really too similar to Mario Kart except the vehicles look really slow...
I still don't know why I'm seeing Skylanders racing on vehicles after like three or so months from SuperChargers reveal but at least racing is not the focus of the game.

Vehicles have been implemented well in the main gameplay (even if they did not took full advantage of them in my opinion).

But I sincerely still cannot believe I'm watching Crusher an Terrafin in a Mario Kart-esque mode.

It can be always put in a spoiler tag. If it works for images it works for videos.
But one month away, eh, it'd have been nice if those were recorded but at least we saw Crusher and Terrabite.

As I said in another thread, the mode is pretty much Mario Kart without mariokarting. No Blue Shells from what we see either, there's a lot more focus on predicting others too since now the stun is attack-based and not as reliant in RNG; though you can argue that only the metagame has changed.


(edit: I did not remember I had just posted in this thread instead of another one, whoops.)

They should bring back Kaos' mom!

Quote: TOlofter

If they make Kaos intreact with a clone it'll be the same thing. His mom is the same character as he is, just with an old woman's appearance and voice. It gets even kinda much in SF where they keep bothering each other about their methods to attack yet in the end they do the same damn thing to the Skylanders.

Back on topic, hadn't seen Terrabite on the video yet. Ok, the Minis they got right, having him balancing himself on the edge of the seat is adorable.

Yeah, it isn't a clone of Mario Kart at all but it isn't a simple racing game either.
It's exactly what you said.
It's Mario Kart without being Mario Kart.

Some racing games actually managed to set themselves off from the others (ModNation Racers, LittleBigPlanet Karting, Mario Kart) while others were so heavily inspired by these ones that you cannot look at them without thinking about the "originals".

But hey, V.V. are huge Nintendo fans, right?
I mean, we even have Bowser and Donkey Kong!
Isn't this great...?

I didn't say Mario Kart without the Mario Kart. Mario karting/getting Mario Karted is when someone gets absolutely destroyed by the hitstun because they keep getting hit by other players and become essentially a sitting duck. It can't happen on this game because you only get stunned once before mercy invincibility kicks in and you recover your health.

Oooh, I thought that was simply a part of "mariokarting"!
Like, that, certain items, certain abilities...
This looks like Mario Kart and will probably feel like it but it's actually quite different.

And yes, thanks God you can't get mariokarted in this game...
Would have been frustrating seeing characters like Wallop or Bumble Blast spinning around without being able to do anything while they could literally destroy any opponent on foot.

Minis confimed to Drive Vehicles.

Any Skylander can drive.

Except the ones without a license.

Well, Double Trouble can't even speak english. Maybe Pop Fizz acted as a translator for him to get the documents done.

If there was one Skylander who wouldn't have a license, it'd probably be Ghost Roaster. That guy ain't right in the head, y'know?

Well, he managed to participate in cooking contests and be amazingly sane(though mishearing things) when trying to make dinner for Flynn and Cali on Book of Elements: Life and Undead. As long as an Undead isn't taking the tests in the same hour as him, he should be fine.

I dunno, I feel like it would end up like that episode of Dragonball Z where Goku and Piccolo take driving lessons.

I know. This is no news whatsoever, other than amusing seeing some of them. Kinda crazy that we've only seen very small sections of 2 levels, though. Im fine with waiting, although I'm wondering about game length now.

I was just correcting the user above me. And now that one can look up every level name, we might have more info than we asked for before release.

Also looks like mini still don't supercharge vehicles.. Man that sucks but expected it.

Why would minis supercharge vehicles? Minis aren't SuperChargers.

Terrabite obviously wouldn't supercharge it anyways - he's the Mini equivalent of Terrafin, not Shark Shooter Terrafin. Same goes for Weeruptor, Trigger Snappy, Whisper Elf, Gill Runt, and Pet Vac.

OK I'M GETTING VERY CONFUSED!!! Is Nightfall, High Volt and Smash hit wave 1 because they showed up on websites or whatever and is burn-cycle stealth stinger and jet stream and stuff are they Wave 1? Seriously im so confused.

From what I've heard, everything you listed is part of Wave 2 yet Waves 1 and 2 are being released at launch so its kind of redundant to call them separate waves

Will Wave 1 and 2 be released on the same day in Canada?

Well they've been confirmed to be released the on same day in Europe and NA so yes I suppose

Ok good. So i won't get Dive-Clops. I'll get Smash hit or Nightfall :3

I'd hope to see gameplay for all 40 toys every day over the next 40 days

Smash hit a warsupial! I hope he has an Aussie voice!

LOL! Wait whats a warsupai?

Actually it's marsupial
But in Skylanders he's a "war"supial

Haha
Get it
Like tornado
and
"War"nado

Marsupials are animals like Koala bears

SuperCharger Achievements are up.

Looks like Portal Master rank is back and top level is 70.

Looks like 13 major chapters.

Legendary Treasures are back.

Sorry but you're a bit late on that
