Jet-Vac was the greatest, most daring flying ace in all of Windham. He was given his magical wings when he was young, as was the tradition for all Sky Barons. But when his homeland was raided, he chose to sacrifice his wings to a young mother so she could fly her children to safety. This act of nobility caught the attention of Master Eon, who sought out the young Sky Baron and presented him with a gift—a powerful vacuum device that would allow him to soar through the skies once again. Jet-Vac accepted the gift with gratitude, and now daringly fights evil alongside the other Skylanders.

Blue, red, and green balloons have been scattered throughout Cloud Factory. You can pop the balloons with weapons or by crashing into them. Blue balloons are the biggest targets but yield the lowest score. Green balloons are the smallest targets, but are worth the most and build your multiplier, up to a maximum of 5X. Popping any balloon maintains your multiplier, but only green balloons increase it.
Go through the course quickly, but slow down whenever you find balloons clustered together. Prioritize the green balloons even when your multiplier is at 5X, but don’t go out of your way to get them. Avoid the purple tornadoes! They deplete your health and your score with each touch. Completing three laps awards a time bonus, and every bonus counts when you’re shooting for that third star.
Overview
Consider Somer-Assault as your means to escape sticky situations more than as a way to jump into a fight since Jet-Vac is more effective as a ranged fighter. Chose an upgrade path based on your fighting style. If you prefer hanging back and blasting from a distance, choose the Blade-Vac Path. If reckless and chaotic are your style, go with the Hurricane Hawk path. Having a Blast! is the only upgrade for Jet Turbine Vacuum, but it does boost its damage output potential significantly.
