As Flynn still had his balloon, it is possible this game took place before Giants.
However, as the canonicity of this game is questionable at best, it may not even have a place in the Skylanders timeline.
At some point in development, the game would've had traversible dungeons with traps and enemies.[2]
The Skylanders: A to Z of Skylands set used the logo of this game even though it was closed by the time the book came out in 2013 before Skylanders: Swap Force came out.
The box set which came out a year later still used the logo along with some other books.[3]
