SuperChargers also have special in-game abilities that help Portal Masters fight Kaos.

Trivia

  • This is the first Skylanders console game to feature online multiplayer in both Adventure and Racing Mode.
  • This is the first Skylanders game not to have any Core Skylanders.
    • This is also the first Skylanders game to not introduce a new proper dragon Skylander, though Spitfire, actually a Fire Spirit, was refered to as one in interviews.
    • In fact, none of the new Skylanders introduced are 4-legged, all of them have humanoid forms with two (or more in case of Thrillipede) arms, possibly to fit the racer design motif despite the fact that quadruped Skylanders can also ride vehicles.
  • This is the first game since Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure where Hugo plays a major role.
  • This is the first game to have guest characters as Skylanders (if not counting Spyro and Cynder) in the form of Nintendo characters, Bowser and Donkey Kong.
    • There were plans for other Nintendo characters to be used as well, including Princess Peach, Kirby and Fox McCloud.[5]
  • In one of its Story Scrolls, Kaos mentions fifteen days between firing Glumshanks, after Gadfly Glades, and the recording which happens at least before the Sky Eater's events, though to the player it has been an average of five hours; implying that much time passes between each level in the story that the player does not experience.
  • During Kaos' opening monologue, when commenting on how Portal Masters have been sending Skylanders to stop him, brief snippets of the Skylanders' battle against his army from the "beginning" trailer for Spyro's Adventure can be seen.
  • As of July 25, 2018, the iOS version of the game has since been removed from the App Store.
