Out of the ones you mentioned...

●Hammer Slam Bowser + Clown Cruiser = An awesome combination if you like Sky areas/races, powerful characters and Vehicles, or you just have a lot of nostalgia for the Mario franchise. The Clown Cruiser has one attack in the console version where it fires a Banzai Bill, and the longer you charge it, the bigger the Bill and the more devastating the assault. Plus, the racing in the Wii and 3DS versions is superb.

●Shark Tank = This has one major advantage over other Land Vehicles in that it can dive underground and avoid attacks from enemies and other racers.

●Legendary Sun Runner = Not only can it scan opponents and reveal their remaining HP while also dealing a small amount of damage, but if you press and hold the primary attack button, it will fire a continuous - and very powerful - laser beam which locks onto the nearest opponent. It makes Sky Boss Pursuits such as a breeze!

Hope this helps!

This topic is a good idea

I'd say out of those the best are SSStealth, Bowser and Sun Runner, but I'm not really interested enough to write about them.

Just going to pass by and recommend Dune Bug because he's really underrated. His moves have plenty of interesting properties and the very concept of the rolling orb is unique. People underestimate his power. The wing dust can cause a lot of damage and the orbs are godly for late Survival stages (they also have the ability to pick up armoured or spinning enemies to make them vulnerable and for the levels with the giant chompies, it can make those chompies glitch out and get frozen in place, which is a lifesaver when dealing with the giant Boomblossoms). Besides, they're just useful for more breathing space in general. His staff shots aren't the strongest, but they're not weak like people say and combined with his strafing, let him play keep-away when needed. That compliments his other moves nicely (the dust is powerful but you need to get close for it to work, plus the staff shots are the primary method to chip away at Geargolems, since you can't carry them with orbs and going in for dust damage can be risky).

So I haven't played Skylanders since SWAP Force, and I just ordered the WiiU starter Pack and Fiesta. I was wondering if there are any great characters from Trap Team and Superchargers I should look into. I want to get Land, Sky and Sea Racing Packs, Nightfall and her vehicle, Easter Thrillipede and his vehicle, Knight Mare, and Knight Light. Any hidden gems of characters I should grab? Thanks!
