Do they not work now in levels?

No. Only as Legendary Treasures.

Yikes.

They do provide benefit though:

Traps are your new magic items in this game.

"Some provide a gateway to the coin collection area(s)"

Huh? I placed almost every magic item, and I got some that spat out money, but none took me anywhere else area-wise.

It might be only the in-game Magic items that take you to the bonus coin areas. I know I got a black hole that takes you to one.

^ The back hole is the only one I've seen as well. Not sure what the Traptanium does...it's not readily apparent to me. The concept seems weird to me.

Legendary Treasure are no longer a boost modifier for your skylanders, for the uninitiated. Basically they do different things (some of it useless) when placed in the hub. This appears to tie in with some of the aesethetic modifications we were told a couple of weeks back.

Totally didn't know about the magic items. It's not a huge part of my strategy/gameplay, but it's clear they are re-drawing the line with each game on what they're going to support. warming us up for a big Skylandercide in an upcoming game I'm feeling.

what do the traps do actually in the game?.. do all do the same thing or do they all do different things?.

Havent tried it yet, but I hear it will boost the vehicle and IF there's a villain inside you'll unlock a Skystones card of that villain. So, from what I understand, racing only things. Interesting question about story mode.

hopefully someone will type up a guide for the traps usage in superchargers.

If only I had all of the traps released so I can do it in one sitting :-)

Trap all have the same attacks, just different element, goes good for areas of certain element, but they actually change both of your vehicle attacks.

Naw, they made it very clear that they are going to always "honor your collection". That was said over and over in the last interview I watched with the developers. Honestly, I did not use 90% of my magic items in the past games. The new system actually feels better to me. I'd rather have a Dragon's Peak sitting in my hub than have a generic rain of fire attack.
