darkSpyro

• Television series and comics right after the success of Spyro's Adventure. Seriously, why was Skylanders underwear made before this happened? Beyond the fact it's cheaper. When you slap your hugely successful franchise on everything, there's usually a cartoon right up front. Take note of the shows from the 80s—just try to hide that it's a big commercial. Also, make it canon.
  


• Let the Skylanders be actual characters. Superchargers had a bit of that, but it largely got used in Imaginators. I realize some might feel it retcons the importance of the Portal Master, and thus the player, but c'mon—you made all these characters, and only a select few are given anything more than catchy lines. I always thought it'd be cool to see other Skylanders at the Academy or maybe you run into some on a mission. You could replace any random NPC with a character that actually might have some resonance to the player or make them want to go out and buy them. It'd be fun if there were character-specific banter. Say, Player One uses Night Shift, Player Two uses Freeze Blade. Antics ensue. There has to be a balance though, so anything lengthy like that would have to be relegated to quieter moments. I remember these games could get really noisy sometimes.
  


• To bounce off of that, I want to look at Ring of Heroes for this next one. Those Story Dungeons? Such a good idea. But they're incredibly lacking with the limits of a mobile game. I think those should've been brought to the main series. A Cynder story dungeon would be wicked.
  


• Skylands is always toted as this vast, endless world, so I think it's upsetting we never got to explore more of it. You're probably tired of hearing people ask for Open World, but when the lore is literally begging for it, there's only so much one can do. To hear that Lorne Balfe music building in the back as you soar as Whirlwind or the fantasy ambience as you buzz around as High Five. Oogh, I want it. What if you could terraform? Make your own little retreat?
