How to use the game?
Well, you collect the Skylander Figures, put them on the Portal Of Power, and watch them come to life!
Upgrade them to make them stronger. Each character has 2 upgrade paths.
Love Crash and Dr. Neo Cortex from Crash Bandicoot? They're here! (PS3/PS4 DEVICE EXCLUSIVES)
Love Nintendo? BOWSER AND DONKEY KONG ARE HERE TO!!(As NINTENDO DEVICE EXCLUSIVES)
The 3DS Games are MUCH different from the other varients
The portal is much smaller, and is annoying to use, but you'll get the hand of it.
Skylanders Imaginators says that making a Character of that Battle Class is the final descision.

Not really
If you have a 3DS version of any of the Skylander Games, you can RESET CREATION CRYSTALS for a new battle class if you didn't like the one they previously had
