Skylanders – SuperChargers Racing

Skylanders – SuperChargers Racing is a role-playing platform video game and the fifth installment of the Skylanders series. It was developed by Vicarious Visions and Beenox and published by Activision. It was released on September 20, 2015, for PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One, and was released on October 18, 2015, for iOS. Skylanders: SuperChargers Racing was released as a standalone title for Wii and the Nintendo 3DS on the same date, and focuses on racing. A sequel, Skylanders: Imaginators, was released in October 2016.

Fans can augment their SuperCharger experience with a complementary, dedicated racing combat game — Skylanders SuperChargers Racing — for the Wii system and Nintendo 3DS hand-held system. All-new tracks, augmented with power-ups, boosts, hazards and more, offer up to 50 different and exciting gameplay experiences. On Nintendo 3DS, gamers can go head-to-head with competitive multiplayer via local play or online with up to four players.

Iconic Nintendo character Bowser and his Sky vehicle, Clown Cruiser are available in the Skylanders SuperChargers Racing Starter Packs for Wii and Nintendo 3DS and can also be played on the Wii U system. The Supercharged character not only works in Skylanders SuperChargers Racing, but also as Amiibo in compatible Nintendo games, so players can store their saved data in both modes with a simple twist of the figure’s base. Like its predecessors, Skylanders: SuperChargers is a “toy-to-life” video game in which players place toy figurines on the “Portal of Power”, allowing them to play as the represented character in-game.

The game introduces a redesigned “Portal of Power” with a larger and wider surface to accommodate vehicles, which are larger than typical characters. SuperChargers introduces vehicles, which are divided into three classes; land, sea, and sky. Ground vehicles and water vehicles allow players to race on land or underwater on several different tracks, while the sky vehicles can be accelerated and decelerated and feature an “autopilot system” that can automatically guide players to their destination.
