Story

The story and background for the new types of toys is as detailed below:

In Skylanders: Swap Force, Portal Masters embark on an all-new adventure in the mysterious Cloudbreak Islands, home to a mystical volcano that erupts every hundred years to replenish the magic in Skylands. During an epic battle, a brave group of Skylanders were caught in the volcano's eruption, which blasted them apart and sent them to Earth. But, the magic of the volcano gave these heroes a remarkable new power -- the ability to swap halves -- turning them into a special team known as the Swap Force.

Meanwhile, Kaos is back with a new evil plan. And now, Portal Masters everywhere must reassemble the Swap Force -- in their original form or in new combinations -- and send them back to Cloudbreak to save Skylands!

Characters

As well as being able to use all of the Skylanders from the original two games, Skylanders: Swap Force introduces 32 brand new characters to play as. This new lineup is made up of 16 Swap Force Skylanders which break apart into two pieces that can be mixed-and-matched between them all and 16 new regular "core" Skylanders that won't have the swapping feature.

That includes new poses for 16 old characters from the first two games and eight Lightcore versions of new and old, bringing the total number of new playable toys to 75. That's a grand total of 174 toys if you include the 99 from Spyro's Adventure and Giants.

In the brand new Starter Pack you will get three Skylanders, that's two Swap Force and one Series 3 returning Skylander. It'll be Wash Buckler, Blast Zone and Ninja Stealth Elf for the consoles and Free Ranger, Rattle Shake and Volcanic Eruptor for the 3DS. There is no Portal Owner's Pack this time due to the need to use the new portal.

To help differentiate between the old and new sets, the base of the Skylanders for Skylanders: Swap Force will be blue instead of the green/orange currently seen on the Spyro's Adventure and Giants toys.

Adventure Packs and Battle Packs

There will be two new Adventure Packs and two new Battle Packs as part of Swap Force. The Adventure Packs are called Tower of Time and Sheep Wreck Island. The Battle Packs are called Fiery Forge and Arkeyan Crossbow.

Tower of Time includes new Skylander "Pop Thorn" as well as the Tower itself and two Magic Items "Battle Hammer" and "Sky Diamond".

Fiery Forge includes new Skylander "Bumble Blast", reposed Series 3 "Knockout Terrafin" and the battle item "Fiery Forge".

Triple Packs

Again there will be triple packs with three characters in them.

A: Slobber Tooth, Lava Barf Eruptor, Super Gulp Pop Fizz
B: Zoo Lou, Mega Ram Spyro, Blizzard Chill
C: Star Strike, Anchors Away Gill Grunt, Big Bang Trigger Happy
D: Scorp, Twin Blade Chop Chop, Heavy Duty Sprocket
Magic: Mega Ram Spyro, Super Gulp Pop Fizz, Star Strike (Walmart exclusive)

Swap Force Abilities

The new Swappable characters can do more than just swap, each of them has a movement ability associated with their lower half, this ability can unlock the special Swap Zones that you'll find in each level.

These abilities are exclusive to the swappable Swap Force characters and have not been retroactively given to existing characters. Just like there are two new characters for each element there are two characters for each ability (you can still manage to get one of each element and have one of each movement type if you choose them carefully).

Portal of Power

The game uses a brand new Portal of Power, redesigned to be able to recognise the ever changing forms of the Swap Force toys. It is unknown whether the new portal will work with Spyro's Adventure and Giants so don't go throwing the old portal out just yet.

To help with the swapping in the 3DS game you will be able to load in all of your figures rather than be stuck with the limit of just two figures that you had in the last two games.

Platforms

The game will appear on Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii, Wii U, and 3DS as well as on mobile devices and the web.

Good Skyanders Party Games:

Then run to the finish line and drop your villains in your bucket (If any fall out, they don’t count). The point is to have 10 villains in your bucket. The first to win, wins the Swapping medal. (No using your hands after you put the villains where they go).

and

Water Teleport Challenge
Rules: Carry water in a cup with holes from a tub of water to an empty milk carton passing off the cup to your teammates after you get the water to your team’s milk carton. (Break into 2 or 3 with about 3-4 people on a team). Every person on the winning team will receive the Teleport Metal.

and

Stealth Moves
Rules: Break into teams of 2 (your choice of how many people on each)This is exactly like a giant game of hide and go seek. The teams will either be team Stink Bomb or team Tarp Shadow. The names of the teams will be drawn from a hat. Whatever team’s name is pulled, they hide. If there are any team member still hiding after 10 minutes, the members of that team win the sneak medal. If all the members are found, the team that found them gets the sneak medal.

and

Rules: Spin around 21 times with a bat on your head. Run as fast as you can (without falling over) to the finish line. Whoever crosses the finish line first wins the spin medal.

and

Sand Dig
Rules: Use your shovel to dig through the sand and find the medal. (No using your hands) It’s made difficult by there being other sting and paper and obstacles.

and

Rules: Go to a place with stairs of your choice and prepare at the stairs. Run up and down the stairs 10 times (no pushing and try not to fall) The first person to get up the stairs and back 10 times wins (F.Y.I., up then down is one time and no skipping stairs and with this challenge you can stop at any time) the first person to complete all 10 rounds to win the climb medal.

and

Chompy Bounce
Rules: There will be a bunch of chompy balloons all over the yard, all you have to do is bounce on as many balloons as you can. Once you’ve popped it, grab it and put it in your pocket (remember, you have to use both feet to pop the balloon, if you don’t use both feet, that balloon doesn’t count.) who ever has the balloons popped in 3 minutes wins the bounce medal.

and

Bomb Toss
Rules: Everyone receives 3 “Bombs” (black ball or bean bag) with their name on a sticky note on it. Everyone gets to throw their Bombs and whoever’s goes farthest, wins the Bomb Medal. (underhand throw only)

Medals can be made off google but they are optional
