If you could change one thing about this series, what would it be? It can be a change to any game or the series as a whole. You can't, however, make changes like the Yawn Trap's or Thrillipede's distribution. The change can only be about in-game stuff.

Mine would be to make Bad Juju or Pain-yatta the Magic Doom Raider. They both could have worked as Doom Raiders really well, and they both fit the Magic element. It's weird that Magic didn't get one considering Magic is probably the most popular element about the dev team. I could imagine fighting Pain-yatta in another dimension that's basically Candy Land, with deadly Syrup Swamps and a forest of Candy Canes. I could also imagine that while you fight him in a giant gingerbread castle, the floor is milk, and you are jumping around on these giant floating cookies as they become soggy and break apart. For Bad Juju, I could imagine her in a level which is like a creepy swamp, and you'll find her bungalow floating in the middle of it. When you enter, it's like the Tardis from Doctor Who, being a lot bigger on the inside than it looks out the outside. Like, A LOT bigger, almost like a massive, dark and spooky maze that you have to navigate while you hear Bad Juju laugh at you while dodge her traps and fight her guards.

So what changes would you have made?

Spyro's face

You know it, I know it.

The current graphical updates made his design really work - he's lizardlike, can be adapted to move in his hind feet for the comics/books, and overall is proportionally correct; EXCEPT for that comically spherical head. Give him a real snout and less cheeks, devs, we could solve so much strife.

take spyro out of it!

More maturity. Have the series grow with the fans. Get rid of the blue arrows showing you where to go, stupid dialogs, and cute characters. Make the game harder and the story line darker.

Toy stock and annual releases. Make the more rare toys more common and and vice-versa. Also, one game by year hurts the franchise's quality. Give it at least biannual releases.

Well its a toss up for maturity and a better toy release plan. Thrillpede and yawn traps /sigh

This, and replace coins with gems.

Might not be in-game, but Skylanders needs to get with the times and allow advanced pre-orders for every item they release in all major retailers.

If Disney Infinity (RIP), Amiibos and LEGO Dimensions could figure it out, there is no excuse.

No more random releases. Have a clear plan at launch that says when what waves are scheduled to release and with what figures. It's not that hard to do and gives the sense of fairness to everyone who may want a certain figure because they know ahead of time when it'll be released.

Make the games harder. Like Trap Team nightmare, but not cheap. Oh, and expand on the lore with darker stories. I want a more serious story than Superchargers with Giants-esque lore focus. I loved how it was all about the Giants and the Arkeyans. Also have a villain other than Kaos, or at least a temporary replacement for the majority of the game, like the Doom Raiders in Trap Team.

I would give Persephone legs . Her lower half always reminded of a genie in a bottle image .

I never liked gold coins for magic powers . I would like other items kinda like spell ingredients to upgrade the Skylander powers.

give hood sickle an "in the hood sickle" variant

This SOOOOOOOO much... Give us more warning as to when things are releasing.

Equal, even, worldwide releases. No more USA only, or UK or OZ only SkyLanders (yawns, lightcore bumble blast, etc). Release all SkyLanders including variants equally in stores worldwide.

figure only needs to be placed on portal once, then you can access from an in-game library. save data to take toy with you by putting figure back on portal later. no more digging through too many cluttered toys to play game

Make it more platformer-y as a natural effect of adding jumping.

Make the levels less linear and more wide, open spaced like in the original Spyro games.
