So basically apparently there is only 12 villains, But i've seen so much more, Heres a list of some I've seen.

Painyatta
Count Moneybone
Mesmeralda
Wolfgang
Chef Pepper Jack
Bad Juju
Hood Sickle
Kaos
Golden Queen
Captain Frightbeard
Spellslamzer
Noodles
Glumshanks
Dr Krankcase
Threatpack
Chompy Mage
Broccoli Guy

So theres for sure, More then 12. What do you think?

Maybe the new villains (and maybe others) can be unlocked in the main game.

There could be some as default; doesn't seem you can play as the Mabu so for Digital Owners and co. they must have another option than Spitfire to play as.

17 there..

Maybe 4 default? 8 would make more sense but... Eh likely there are still more. Or Kaos could unlock 4 as well, therefore having one extra right now.

Yeah Maybe Kaos unlocks some.

I'm just gonna guess some of them are just general opponent NPCs.

I personally think drill X should be a playable villain I thought he was amazing in giants

I think there will be 2 per element. So, that's about 20 villains. Also, they could do what they did in trap team, different number of villains per element. For the villains that don't have an element, they will probably put them in an element, like what they did with Chompy, Chompy Mage, and Bone Chompy in trap team.

Yea and he could have a drilling rig land vehicle and he could be attached to it idk what I'd name the vehicle though.

Oh yeah, Maybe 1 a doom raider and the other is just a normal villain

So what's the story? How are the villains back?

Still unclear,but the racing mode seems to not have much of a link with canon. The levels are just themed after existing locations and aren't exactly the same areas. Maybe it'll be explained along with Kaos getting free in the prequels or the start of the game, but getting the vehicles in the span of a few months is another issue entirely.

With the kart racing mode we're definitely gonna have to follow Mario Kart logic. There's no reason why the villains are freed, they are because they wanted to make cool vehicles for them and have a fun roster of characters.

I think there are going to be 24 unlockable and playable villains. They already said that the Mabu will be the NPCs in multiplayer races. It would not make much sense to spend time designing and coding all these cool villains and their vehicles and then not make them raceable. I am guessing that 12 are unlocked from the trophies and beating those levels and that 12 will be unlocked from levels already included with the starter pack.

No way that would work, he's way too big

I know right not like we ever had a villain shrink or anything....... oh wait

That's because soda makes him grow. When he drinks soda, it makes him grow bigger, while I doubt Drill-X can grow and shrink without being dissassembled and rebuild.

Many other villains are smaller when you play as them compared to when they were fighting you.

Well you have the Sea Trophy (Golden Queen) + Air Trophy (?)+ Land Trophy(?) + Kaos Trophy, so I think there'll definitely be more than 12 villains. I'm guessing 16, if not more.

4 per trophy minus Kaos according to press release.

Why do people call Sky, Air? Seriously I get so annoyed by it :3

By the way Sky trophy is Wolfgang confirmed.
