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.

That's so good! How do you do that?! Oh and are you American... Australian... I couldn't tell by the box/ price
Just finished making this
SmashHit looks amazing, and he has a variant already!
Question for all of you Skylander fans!
Which of ALL the Skylanders in SuperChargers, (including Remakes, eg Stealth Elf) looks the worst...
Pose Wise,
Move and Attack wise and,
Originality wise (if they look like a rip off of other skylanders or any game character! eg. Crusher and Rubble Rouser! Both made of rocks, Both have hammers and both have helmets and lets not for get Crushers move where he hits the ground and blades shoot out... like Rubble Rousers move! (PS I have nothing against these two Skylanders! At first I hated Rubble Rouser because he looked like a copy, but he turned out to be my Favourite (along with Free Ranger) Swap Force Character! I use him all the time!))
Personally I reckon Jet Vacc and Eruptor look ridiculous and creepy! (Eruptors eyes in game!
) Eruptor as a Lancer like Fright Rider! Not feeling it personally! Eruptor is a heavy explosion and destructive character! He doesn't hit people with a pole!But Jet Vacc... In game he looks okay, the legs look weird, but I like the Armor! But am I the only one who thinks his Toy Form Pose looks ridiculous and munted! Please don't dis me for saying it, but he looks retarded! Am I the Only One Who Thinks So! He looks like he is falling over, and the Goofy, Bulging eyes really emphasize that! From being a cool red colour with 2 Guns, to a small, one barrel gun that looks like a toaster! Not only does he look messed up, (It looks like Gusto ate him and spat him out, with no upgrades) but he also looks the same! Nothing has changed! He still has a gun and still looks the same, even worst!
I just don't think he fits in! All the Remakes look amazing, and they are armored up and ready to Smash! Also close range characters became long ranged, long ranged became close range! He hasn't changed!
Sorry for the little negative comment but I want to know what you all think!
And what are your favourite Skylanders? SmashHit and Fiesta are so far my favourites! What about you guys?
Thoughts on Online Racing and Co-op? And do you think you could have two players from one console? I hope you can! That would be cool!
