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.

So I believe the Dark Starter will come with Dark Spitfire, Dark Super Shot Stealth Elf, Dark Shark Shooter Terrafin, Dark Hot Streak, Dark Shark Tank, and Kaos' Vehicle.
It would make sense if splat was magic bc all of da previous magic skylanders hav had a blue/purple colour sceheme.
V thaks and I thought that to

V it looks like da kaos trap 2 me
I don't know if its real or not but I thought I'd share it
It's supposed to be a discussion, but you seem to want to bicker among yourselves all the time which is actually pointless, because there will never be any type of resolution.
If the arguments carry on the Hunters are going to stop people posting here, and i'm about 90% sure on that.
84 is going off what he's read or seen which is all any of us can actually do, so until he's actually proven to be right or wrong he's entitled to his opinion, exactly the same way you are terrafin so basically agree to disagree and move on.
Also on topic: If DK and Bowser aren't part of the main line-up that leaves a gap in Life, and we also have no clue as to what the new Earth is.
The majority of what we've seen so far are the returning Skylanders.
I've been hoping for a while that it's something like a brownie for Life, but that will probably never happen.
Also if Splat in fact is Magic, could she be a Satyr because that would fit the goat look.
84 your thinking your the best and got everything wrong seriously when they sad that dk and bowser were not even anaunced
Highvolt is most likely tech, due to the grey on the bottom and the robot likeness of him.
Remember there was another character name revealed; Astroblast, and that sounds like it fits in the Light element, because most are like Electricity/Space/Brightness themed.
