I am posting some of my discovery on version different + compatibility between the two games.

1) In Giants, ALL Characters have MAX LV of 15. Regardless if you have series 1, series 2, or Lightcore

2) ALL Series 2 Characters is backward compatible with Spyro's Adventure. INCLUDING Legendary Ignitor and Legendary Slam Bam.
*You will not be able to purchase / use the "Wow Pow ability". But you still can LVL up, earn money, get Challenges Completed, change hats, etc.

3) If you LVL UP your skylander in Giants to over LVL 10, when you play it back at Spyro's Adventure, it will revert back to LVL 10, and you will not gain further experience. But if you play the same character back at Giants, the LVL is return to Giants' LVL.
(example: Chop Chop is LVL 11 in Giants, I play Spyro's Adventure for a while, earn some gold, then play him in Giants again, then LVL goes back to LVL 11)

4) ALL the Challanges for the Characters remain the same, and carried over. But the complete bonus is different.
(example: if completed Ignitor's Challange in Spyro's Adventure, it will also show completed in Giants. Speed gain in Spyro's Adventure is +8, but +4 in Giants)

5) ALL Stat are readjusted in Giants.

6) ALL LC Characters released in SA is backward compatible with Spyro's Adventure. The LC feature will not show up in game, and you will not gain the "Destroy Everything when you are summoned' effect in the old game. But you still can LVL up, earn money, get Challenges Completed, change hats, etc.

7) Don't Forget to go to MANAGE and CHANGE Ownership of you Series 1 skylanders on Giant. Though you will not get the Challanges unlocked (but you they are the same as in Spyro's Adventure anyway), but they will be added to your game collection and will BOOST YOUR ELEMENTAL POWER!

8) Characters differences in Giant game
S1 - Max Lvl 15 - No new purchasable Pow Wow or special effect.
S2 - Max Lvl 15 - Added new Pow Wow ability, Able to change your Path
LC - Max Lvl 15 - No new purchasable Pow Wow. Character Spirit change in Game, light up part glows in game. Ability to destroy all surrounding minions / items.

To be continued.....

How is this a 'VS'?

I tried LC Prism Break on Spyro's Adventure and IT WORKED! I can play it like normal, the figure Light up on the Portal, but the image is not changed. It is still treated as regular Prism break. But I guess you can grind and do all the challenges in Spryo's Adventure and venture on to Giants with ease.

please use the edit button, 5x posts. and i was just about to post about the s2 working in the 1st game lol i put them on the portal just cause i wanted to see them light up and was supprised when it actually worked!

Ah, thank you for clarifying.

Happyam, you said Quote:

Thus, mentioning LCs.

What LC's are backward compatible with Spyro's adventure?
But the packing "says" No. oO
I am confused...

From what i understand they are listed non-compatible because the lightcore feature will not show up in game. You can still play as the character, they just wont have lightcore features like that have in giants.

Correct. It is Read as regular Ignitor and Slam bam, no Wow Pow. Original Spirit. But you can lvl up , collect coins, buy abilities, and complete challenges.

I did not have Volcanic Vault ... :-(

but I did tried to use Pirate Sea Expansion and it worked looks like it will unlock the game here also

one more thing i discovered ... or may be it is obvious to others. ... All Giants Characters are consider as LC skylanders, thus, will be able to have the Destroy all minions when being summoned.

You are right, i changed it.

Hey everyone, I'm a new collector here and I'm having some troubles.

Apologies if this is a noob question and sorry to revive an old thread, but how do I get my Series 1 Characters that I started playing with on Giants, to be added to my S:SA Collection? It doesn't give me the usual "character added, elemental power increased" text on screen.

I did a search but couldn't find any info. Anyone else having these issues?

Thanks in advance.

Press start and register it. It can only be registered on one game at a time.

Wow Pow, okay. Light up, know that. Ability to destroy, noticed that. SPIRIT CHANGE? What do you mean by that? Huh?

Open the Character Management screen (Select/Back/[-] on the various systems, the opposite button to the Pause/Play/Start button). On Giants you see the character and several buttons (like Hats, Upgrades, Stats, Manage), all kinds of things specific to the character. If I recall correctly, the layout in SSA is in tabs, move to the right-most tab you get a menu, select Ownership (it's in the Manage part of the Giants screen), it'll ask you if you want to take ownership of this Skylander, choose Yes. When you exit out of the menu to the game again, you'll get the usual Character Added message(s). After that you can just have Giants take back ownership if you like, SSA will remember that the character was added.
