The following pages cover the newest Skylanders, including their individual story, stats, powers, and upgrades. However, every Skylander is capable of operating the vehicles that are integral to Skylanders SuperChargers.
Since you can still use the Skylander figures from previous games in the Skylanders™ series while playing Skylanders SuperChargers, they are summarized at the beginning of each elemental character section within the eGuide. To track your progress, select Collection in the Portal Master menu and select Skylanders.
Skylander figures from different games were identified by the color of the plastic on their base. SuperChargers stand atop an engine, with their Elemental affinity icon visible on the front of the engine.
