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.

Kaos

SeaSea
Golden Queen Sea Trophy

Land Trophy

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 from my understanding the portals at most of the locations were malfunctioning. I don't know how it was at other TRUs, but at my TRU it wouldn't work unless it was positioned in a certain way and in that position the trap slot was under a glass thing.

So THAT'S what we need the Thunderous Bolt for! And also I'm assuming that Stratosfear won't turn his back on Kaos.

So I guess Cluck isn't a playable villain. And I believe the Land Trophy unlocks the Clockwork Castle Land Track, similar the Sea Trophy unlocking the Lair of the Golden Queen Sea Track and the Sky Trophy unlocking The Future of Skylands Sky Track.

Thanks for all the info! And for keeping it hidden for others!
Traptanium? Softpaw? Count Moneybone(yeah, we all knew he was here already, but still interesting)? I know these are tiny details, but I'm loving what VV's doing right now. Let us hope everything goes out well, it doesn't become bloated with plot inconsistencies, TFB's models don't get the "squishy-shiny" treatment, and that it's what VV, or rather Guha Bala, wanted it to be: a vehicle fantasy. A sweet, sweet vehicle fantasy. Lookin' promising.

Okay so first off kaos starts off the plot by first disabling the portals then caputring Cali, Flynn, and Hugo but he then traps Eon in the land of the undead IN A GIANT CRYSTAL OF TRAPTANUIM oh and Count Money Bone is in charge of prisoners so he is in the main story, so the first level starts off with the rift to skylands which is basically a land section where you drive through the portal. Once finished with the vehicle section you are in a prison ship and you free Cali, Hugo, and Flynn. You then save the shark people of Montey Meadows from Kaos's sky head thing. After the level it goes to a cut scene with kaos and glumshanks and glumshanks suspciously comments 'Are you sure the dark vortex should be getting bigger.' And 'I don't like the darkness... It feels like I'm being... Watched.' You are soon brought to the skylanders academy (not going into detail about the academy other than there is a greeable that shows you the vehicle elemental gates and yes it is only at the academy and I only got to try the fire gate.) you then are sent to the cloudbreathers craig to summon that dragon to help find Eon, not much is revealed here other than that eon is in the Land of the Undead. After all that you are suppose to go to the cloud level (that level shown first in the E3 demo) since you need the Thunderous Bolt from lord stratosfear in order to charge your vehicles enough to open a rift into the land of the undead and this is the first boss fight of the game but you need a land vehicle to go through with this fight. After the fight the next level is as you thought the land of the undead where it introduces a 2 mechanics 1 being anti gravitational areas for both skylanders and vehciles and 2 the new bomb system which is where you pick up a barrel of explosives and set it down rather than throw oh and the bombs are in the vehcile areas as well and two last things one Agnet soft paw from swap force returns in the land of the undead and 2 we had to stop the demo mid way so I don't have the full information on the land of the undead. Also a side instead of elmental gates they have supercharger rifts where only a superchargers can fix a rift to a secret are which holds treasure

And this is basically it for all of the info i got at the demo
