Story
In Skylanders SuperChargers, Kaos' quest to rule over Skylands reveals his most sinister weapon ever - a massive "Doomstation of Ultimate Doomstruction" capable of eating the sky itself. Fortunately, Master Eon had seen the warning signs and assembled a special team of Skylanders to pilot an unstoppable fleet of vehicles with the power to destroy the reign of destruction! With Skylands facing its greatest threat, the Skylanders must pilot their supercharged vehicles over land, under sea, and through the sky to stop Kaos!
Characters
Once again all existing toys will work with the new game but of course there are many new toys for you to purchase. The new lineup is made up of 20 new SuperChargers (that's 10 (or 12) completely new characters and 10 (or 8) reimagined returning characters) and matching 20 Vehicles. Any Skylander can use any vehicle but each Vehicle has a specific paired SuperCharger that SuperCharges the vehicle when they are used together, this changes the appearance of the vehicle and gives it a boost.

Unlike previous games the base this time is signified by a large engine with the element bursting out the exhaust.
The two Nintendo characters, Donkey Kong and Bowser, are only playable on the Wii U, Wii, and 3DS versions of the game. They have a secondary function as an amiibo which means they can be also used in some other Nintendo games.
Vehicles
There are 20 vehicles to collect, each one matching a particular SuperCharger but can be driven by any Skylander, the matching Skylander just gives it a boost, a SuperCharge if you will. There are three types of vehicle: Land, Sea, and Sky.
The only mandatory vehicle sections are Land based so you can still complete the entire story with just the contents of the Starter Pack. In co-op you both control the same vehicle with Player 1 driving and Player 2 on the weapons, although you can switch at any time.

While all of your existing Skylanders can drive all of the vehicles only the new SuperChargers can upgrade and modify them.
Trophies
Trophies are used to unlock new terrain specific racetracks and they each allow you to play as four villains from that terrain type.

Aside from the Dark Edition's Kaos Trophy you will get the trophies in special "Racing Action Packs" which contain a SuperCharger, their vehicle and the trophy. The first example is Deep Dive Gill Grunt with his Reef Ripper and the Sea Trophy, the second pack contains Astroblast, his Sun Runner vehicle and the Sky Trophy.
Online
Online racing and co-op has been added to the series for the first time. You can race online against friends or just randomly selected people. While the Wii version does not have an online component the 3DS version does.
Portal
A new Portal of Power is included in the Starter Pack but, for the first time since Skylanders Giants, you can instead choose to use your previous Portals to play with. If you have no interest in the new Portal you can purchase a digital Portal Owners Pack, the Portal Owners Pack will provide you with the game and two digital toys, Instant Spitfire and Instant Hot Streak, for use if you haven't got a Portal connected.
The new Portal does have a Trap slot but the use of villains is quite diminished, instead of playing as a villain it just provides your vehicle with a boost and gives you a corresponding Skystone for the new minigame Skystones Overdrive.
Platforms
SuperChargers is set for release on the PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, Wii, 3DS, and iPad. The Wii and 3DS versions will be titled "Skylanders SuperChargers Racing" and will be a different experience compared to the other editions.
There will be Dark Editions of the Starter Pack available on PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii, and Wii U.

V that would never happen in a million years sorry to brake it to you. It's most likely nintendo themed costume/vehicles changes for characters and possibly a nintendo themed level with F-zero or mario kart
what i dont want it gonna be skylander timer
Even if it doesn't have amiibo support, there's still the "surprise" at E3.
I doubt there would be amiibo compatibility though, because the other consoles might feel downgraded compared to WiiU/N3DS. However, because the Wii version is getting downgraded (and the 3DS version has always been downgraded), I wouldn't be very surprised either.
Another thing to remember is that Skylanders was almost a Nintendo-only game.
Also, I would love to fight Kaos with Ike, Marth, Robin, or Lucina.
The vehicles are a nice idea but that the only thing special about the superchargers is that they can customize the vehicles is kind of lame.
The reposes and some of the new ones are SUPER COOL! though.
My favourites being terrafin,dive-clops,spitfire and stealth elf.
Spitfire is super awesome! dive-clops looks sweet,terrafin has always been one of my favourites if not my favourite and i prefer stealth elf in this game because she's a bit more tanky and less stealth.
Both water vehicles are sea,both air vehicles are sky obviously.
Magic has a sea vehicle,earth has a land vehicle,fire has a land vehicle,
undead has a land vehicle.
I think that the second land vehicle is another fire because the front looks like a dragon head with blue fire coming out of it.The third is definitely terrafin's and i think the air vehicle is stealth elf's because it has a greenish colour and it looks like it fire's her daggers like her new cannon.
Just my thoughts and opinions.
What 'picture thing' are you talking about?
And if I had done it at minimum every half hour I would've gotten bored of it after a day and not gotten any sleep.
In any case, would you mind moving this conversation to the Everything We Know About Skylanders Goats topic? I'd rather not be gnorc'd.
Here's this link just incase you can't find it: //forum.darkspyro.net/spyro/viewposts.php?topic=107170
Now please let us continue our conversation on this topic.
Now, on topic: I think that first unknown Land terrain vehicle is Roller Brawl's. I believe the third is Terrafin's.
