Skylanders Wiki

Debug Minion[1][2] is a debug character and can be found in the Wii U version of Skylanders Spyro's Adventure, the Wii U, PS3 and Xbox 360 versions of Skylanders Giants, and the mobile and Alpha versions of Skylanders: Trap Team. Its Magic Moment and stats screen show it as a coin, whilst in game it uses Whirlwind's model and animations.

Appearances[]

Skylanders: Giants[]

Debug Minion only appears in the Xbox 360, PS3 and Wii U versions, with missing files in the Wii version. It does not have a character icon, nor a ring displaying what game it is from. It does not take any damage. Its primary attack is using a homing beam similar in appearance to Whirlwind's primary attack, dealing 100 damage to enemies and breaking anything a Skylander would be able to (including walls that can usually only be broken by Giants), however, if there are no enemies nearby, the primary attack will just produce heart particle effects. Its secondary attack changes its element (despite it not working very well) and its tertiary attack allows it to teleport and go though some obstacles. When putting a hat on, the hat is made giant. It adds to the collection total number but does not appear in the collection screen itself. It has no upgrade images and uses placeholder upgrade names. All of its voicelines are text-to-speech.

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure[]

Debug Minion only appears in the Japanese Wii U version of Spyro's Adventure. Nearly everything about it is completely unchanged from Giants, but its secondary attack appears to function correctly, changing the element fully without having to swap it out. It has no voicelines since the file that contains them are missing.

Skylanders: Trap Team[]

Debug Minion appears in some Skylanders: Trap Team Alpha footage with the name "Debug Core". This time it uses Whirlwind's new model from Skylanders: Swap Force and can no longer teleport for reasons unknown. Despite this, Debug Minion (known as Debug Core) was left in the iOS version and two new debug characters were introduced ("Debug Giant" and "Debug Ranger").[3]
