Hi everyone, quick correction, turns out the XBOX One and 360 have two different portals entirely, and are not interchangeable. This means there is an additional portal for every xbox one skylanders release, meaning there are 3 additional portals or so. The XBOX one portals are interchangeable with the Series consoles. Sorry I didn't catch this before, I don't own an xbox.

[@julianbello8376]

[@Mikeonut]

@@julianbello8376 I doubt it. It’s just been gaining traction recently, and because of that people just pointed out the error more, so I made an official statement.

[@zorafox5866]

WHY, why has everyone forgotten about that the first game "Spyros Adventure" was actually also released for PC, i really hate that is was the only game of the series for PC. It had a wired portal, likely the same as the XBox Portal.

[@marktheredlightning2829]

The superchargers portal probably doesnt work on trap team because of the voicelines thingy from the original traptanium portal, like when the villains talk through the portal Idk how to describe it

[@thisisasupersayin376]

Hey Mike, it's canon that the Skylanders characters were actually, physically transported to our world in the form of plastic figurines, right? Does that mean Activision just has both a menagerie of interdimensional refugees, and the technology to send them home, but is choosing to make profit by selling the privlige of sending them home to random kids, and that's just actual Skylanders lore? Am I getting this right?

[@jakejohnson718]

Yes. And that also means that by them stopping making games for skylanders, skylands is doomed

[@andrew_animation]

Never thought Skylanders would have the darkest lore I've seen.

[@SnaksiXD]

Yes. Activision found these characters somewhere in their frozen state and put these heroes from anohter world trapped within their own bodies, up for sale to CHILDREN in stores worldwide. That is the lore.

[@mushroom4466]

I personally think the Trap Team portal is the coolest one, just for how rad it looks. It even has a speaker in the little cage part so you can hear nice little random banter from the villains you trap! That kind of stuff just oozes personality.

[@PikachuGamerSMT]

It also works on all the games

[@flamzo9074]

the reason the rift portal doesnt work with trap team is because trap team required a speaker on the portal so you can hear the villains trapped in the traps, which the rift portal did not have.

3:35 I can confirm that the 3DS portal does work on Wii U, however it wouldn't fully load the skylander rather constantly flicker the intro sequence, although take note that I was doing this with a 3rd party charger and was Playing Imaginators/Superchargers

[@sam4gaming135]

Although the fact that the games accept the portal in the first place highly suggests that its compatible

[@ToastNova]

you can use a Pro Controller charger lol

[@BoomBringer]

I can confirm the SSA, Giants, and Trap Team 3ds versions on the portal work on pc, ps3, ps4, wii and wii u. They work just fine and load characters on the console releases without any issues, heck I even played though superchargers on the ps4 with a giants 3ds portal just for the goofs

[@LogShaw1587]

Something about imaginators, I was little and skylander boy & girl were still a thing and I legit thought they kidnapped a guy at activision and that's how the game was made

[@enmadaniaisabel1552]

​@@BoomBringer HOW DO YOU DO THAT? OwO

[@failinhearts354]

To add some extra clarification based on what I've been able to learn. Old Portals from SSA and Giants can still scan Swap Force Skylanders, you can try through SuperChargers and Imaginators. The reason why Activision insisted on that Arch Portal for Swap Force was basically because of multiplayer. Original Rune Portals aren't really restricted by the type of toys they scan but moreso they have a hard cap on how many toys the Portal can scan at once: Three toys at a time. Because a Swapper's top and bottom means it counts as two toys, if you and a buddy say... placed two Swappers and a Magic Item on a Portal, that's effectively 5 toys. Something way beyond what a Rune Portal can accept. So Arch Portals and beyond were engineered to handle at least 7 toys. Since the maximum combination of toys read on a Portal in Skylanders would be in SuperChargers with two Swappers, one vehicle, a Trap power up and a Racing Trophy. You try doing that on an Rune Portal in SuperChargers and the game would deny you.

[@emileveilleux4605]

Ok so you can use giant portal for swap force right?

[@failinhearts354]

@Émile Veilleux Not for the game Swap Force, that put a restriction on what Portal to use. What I'm saying is Swap Force figures can be scanned on Giants Portals, but in SuperChargers and Imaginators only.

[@DroBoww]

Trap team portal works with every game, thats the one you wanna use. Superchargers work with all except trap team as it doesn’t have a built in speaker for the villains. Imaginators, swap force, giants and spyros adventure portals only work on those 4 games, they will not work on superchargers or trap team.

[@DragoSmash]

actually, all portals can support a lot more than that, i don't remember if it's 32 or 64 figures but the way the portal addresses them as they come in can go up to that number

[@Texthead]

The portals themselves can scan 4 and 8 simultaneous NFC tags respectively. The 3DS Portal of Power can also scan 4 figures despite its small size. Giants and SSA can use 3 figures at a time, such as in Co-Op and using a Magic Item/Expansion etc… and the fourth slot is used to tell the user off for putting on another Magic Item or Skylander. Without that 4th index the Portal wouldn’t be able to do that. For future games, the most you can simultaneously use is 2 Swappers (4 NFC Tags total), one Vehicle, one Trap, and one Magic Item/Racing Pack I believe. One index is left over once again to be able to tell if there’s excess figures on the Portal. The register for the NFC Communicator inside of all portals can keep track of 16 NFC Tags in total, where a soft reset is induced onto the portal to allow it to scan more figures.

[@MysteryMusic512]

Bro really had to flex his Snowderdash on us 😭

You forgot to mention that if you use a supercharger portal in imaginators and put a trap in, you get 500 gold. Same with the extra items like the dragonfire cannon

[@Physi0ninja]

I have heard that you can use the SSA portal in imaginators and can even scan in Swap force Skylanders perfectly fine.

[@speedrunner1763]

The ssa and giants portals can read swap force figures but they can only read a max of 4 figures at a time. Swap force skylanders count as 2 figures bc of the top and bottom. So 2 swap force characters and a magic item would be 5 figures which is too much for the ssa and giants portals which is why they made a new portal for ssf. But the ssa and giants portals technically still can read swap force characters as long as you don’t go over the 4 figure limit.

[@Blade2145]

There was one thing I remember a friend of mine showed me back when Trap Team was out; apparently as long as one portal of power was plugged in, while two (older) portals are touching, the unplugged portal (somehow) didnt need to be plugged in to work. It confused the living hell outta me...

[@Hyper_Drud]

Magnets? Electromagnetic signals?

[@notyetimnot406]

@@Hyper_Drud quasi connectivity. if you're confused another guy made a comment about it go look for it

[@foxxonaut]

random fun fact: you forgot to mention the portal from the Spyros Adventure PC Version! it looks like a classic SSA portal, but came with a wire and USB plug. It also says “for PC” on the bottom. Don’t know if it works with any other consoles as I got all my other skylanders games on Xbox :)

[@starcoreonline5592]

I forget where I heard and saw this from, but I believe a variant of the giants portal has a sort of quasi connectivity where if it's pressed up against a portal currently being used, it also gets connected and is available for use despite not being plugged in or connected to anything wirelessly.

[@hydrusalphy4654]

Likely true. As someone who experimented a lot with her portal as a kid, I can confirm Skylanders figures also get read if you press them up against the *side* of the portal (referring to the portals from the first two games here). So if you press the sides of two portals next to each other, then put a figure on one of them, the other portal can likely read the figure that way.

[@ChrosGorilla]

You know, I wish someone would make a custom made Portal that would be compatible with every single Skylanders game in existence. It would look like the portal from SSA & Giants (specifically the glow in the dark portal from Giants) but was just a bit bigger so it could read more newer Skylanders like the Swappers & beyond. It could also have a slot to attach a custom trap attachment where the traps would be inserted & the speaker where you can hear the Villains talk. The speaker could also make different sound effects when a Skylander’s magic moment occurs depending on the element of the Skylander or Villain. Like for example, if a Tech Skylander would be scanned in, the trap attachment’s speaker would make mechanical sounds.

[@speedrunner1763]

For that to be a thing the portal would need the following functions USB to work on consoles 3DS connectivity Bluetooth capability to work with mobile games Ability to read 4+ figures to avoid swap force character problems Trap slot with speaker so it works with trap team And than we would still need a separate Xbox version of the same thing.

[@ChrosGorilla]

@@speedrunner1763 True, but I meant my custom portal to be the most high tech out of them all.

[@Sammy_The_Umbreon]

You almost have that with the trap team portal. It just needs to be a bit bigger

[@Cosmic2254]

Xbox Skylander gamer here, and what you said about the Xbox portals pretty much sums up. It sucks having to switch portals all the time, but if you have the Traptanium Portal, it's compatible for every game. Obviously for the games with no traps in them the actual trap slot won't function, but other than that its a really cool, very compatible Xbox portal. If you are an Xbox gamer looking to get into Skylanders, buy Trap Team first for the portal.

I had a thing that allowed you to pit the portal in, and have several skylanders on it. it came with a remote that let you choose what skylander you wanted, based on where they were placed. Real useful.

Portal Lore:

[@moltenlavacore]

Ok couple things I'd like to add as a fellow Skylanders fanatic: (disclaimer, I loved this video and appreciate seeing high-quality informative Skylanders content these days when misinformation around the series so prevalent): On top of all of this portal BS, Xbox portals still got their own portals, one exclusive version for the 360 versions and the One versions when they came out, you probably already knew that tho lol The devs totally didn't give up when it comes to Imaginators. In fact they worked harder on that game than they did on any other game, scrambling to re-use assets and engines in order to have a complete and finished game by the extremely early due date. Also, Trap Team is picky about its portal and couldn't use the superchargers one because of the speaker; activision couldn't send out an update to ignore if the portal had a speaker either because the Wii version of trap team couldn't be updated

[@JayDee3779]

I have the 3DS Spyro’s adventure portal with the mini USB port in. And it did work with PC for the Skylanders universe online game since I used to play that all the time in 2011-12. And it worked with the Wii, too. (Idk about PS3 since I never had one of those growing up). But when I plug my 3DS portal into the Wii, my Wii portal stopped working. I don’t know if it’s the console or me plugging in a second portal confused it. But strangely, the USB receiver and the Wii portal stopped trying to connect to each other. This was before Giants came out so my brother & I had to make do with the 3DS portal until we got the next game. That portal got very cramped when it came to co-op. It was not made for it. Good Times.

[@DaveMan1K]

I live in the UK, and my copy of Imaginators came with the Swap Force portal.

I really like the sleekness, portability, and the usefulness of the wireless I pad trap team portal. Never played a game past giants but I can really admire the look and quality of it. Shame they never made more portals like that and that companies aren't doing stuff like that.

[@TheBrotherHolmes]

I wish there was a phone app that used your phone's NFC to back up your characters and maybe act as characters that you can't find.

9:00 in trap team the portal must speak and the superchargers one can not do that

[@cadence4527]

My supercharger portal worked on trap team. It just doesn’t have the speaker so you don’t get to hear what the villains are saying.

[@silveramyknux241]

5:56 Fun fact, the 3DS Giants and Spyro’s Adventure portals can also scan in Swap Force figures. It probably just takes longer than the Swap Force portal.

When we moved with my brother, we only took the Traptinium Portal with us out of our other portals as it's compatible with all games.

[@XanderIsALoser]

Wanna bring something up since while minor, it’s somewhat notable. The iOS Traptanium Portal did work with at least ONE other Skylanders mobile game. Lost Islands. Likely because it was the only one in the series to receive Trap Team support, before dropping their mobile spin-offs completely in 2015. Not sure if it worked for the others buuuut I also never got to play them. Fantastic video, the Superchargers portal in non-US Imaginators boxes really surprised me!

[@derbaum8761]

[@Lucky_9705]

The original wireless portals for the Wii were prone to breaking and getting interfered by external signals (Bluetooth, Routers, etc.). I remember getting Spyro’s Adventure for the Wii back in Christmas, 2011. The portal eventually broke and I would get constant error messages for the Skylanders that I placed on the portal. To compensate, I ended up getting a new portal from Activision and it ended up working much better.

[@Hyper_Drud]

Not to mention if you buy it used you run the risk of the seller not having the wireless dongle. Happened to me, good thing the giants portal worked for the first game.

[@clyne8835]

I remember that online game actually! The wii portal came with a tiny usb that could be plugged into your computer to use the game. I don't remember how the portal factored in though. I think the usb held save data while you plugged the portal in separately to use the skylanders toys. I could be wrong though, I'm going off of fuzzy childhood memories here

[@jeremycole617]

I remember well. The USB allowed the Portal to connect to console or PC, and that's all. It basically cut the cord. As far as the web game goes, you could use the portal to add your figures instead of punching in the code, as well as updating the Hero Level on the figure in the case of SSA. You could even use that to swap on the fly instead of going into the menu. I haven't seen anything about the site being preserved. Big shame. I'd love to try going through it again--especially to finally raise that Hero Level on SSA!

[@silveramyknux241]

What’s most impressive is how the portals are so powerful, that if you put an unplugged one next to the portal you’re using, the game would react still if you put a Skylander on said unplugged portal. Since it’s within the active portal’s radius.

[@betchaos7383]

The good thing is, you can use the Traptanium portal with every game as long as it worked with the console. I have only that portal and I've used it on the 4 PS4 released games and PS3 SSA and Giants with barely any issue. Meanwhile for 3ds, the Swap Force mode is the way to go since it also works with every game and is the one you require to even play the game its from lol. Seriously, you need the swap force model even though the trap team 3ds version can use the swappers perfectly. TLDR, if you can get only one portal, Trap team for console and Swap force for 3ds.
