There was just something about this level that fascinated and scared me as a kid. I'm getting a bunch of nostalgia just watching that boss fight. That drill is just so terrifyingly designed...

The music is the coolest part of this whole operation. Little bit of drill x's theme in there as well

[@_LunarLillies_]

I feel like I was the only one who was scared off drill x like so scared I cried and ran into my room and my dad had to finish the boss fight for me

[@2birds832]

I was scared of him too but I built up the courage to do the Battle.

I was so scared I never beat the game

[@GIGACHAD-zr8vk]

How tho it was so good

[@grayman7548]

same with me lol

[@Astralation]

This was the same with me, but it wasn’t drill x I was scared to fight, it was for some odd reason robo kaos

[@michirukaiou2905]

I sincerely feel bad for Drill X! You know, I was thinking that maybe he didn't really want to find Arkus or even enslave those Molekins, maybe it was Kaos who forced him to do it! Yeah! Because in a cutscene he talked about stealing a drill bot, and that was basically what he did! And we have to remember that Kaos could be a great blackmailer sometimes, so maybe Kaos has blackmailed Drill X in order to find the city of Arkus! And maybe Drill X refused at first, but then Kaos threatened him to dismantle him, so Drill X had no choice but to accept because he obviously didn't want to be dismantled! And as you can see, he accept his defeat when we beat him, while a real villain would never accept his defeat so easily, but swear to come back and taking revenge! Drill X didn't swear to take revenge, he simply said that he was feeling defeat and his systems were shutting down, so this means that he was not a villain at all! Poor Drill X! Goddamn Kaos! Blackmailing a poor innocent drill bot, I'll never forgive him for this! So, stand up for Drill X, he was just a victim, he didn't want to hurt anyone, it's all Kaos' fault!🥺

These boss levels were masterfully designed. The fact that the developers were able to cram this amount of effort into these boss fights in a kid’s game is still incredible nearly 10 years later.

[@coltkillergaming5685]

Yeah I was hoping they’d remaster it

Memories. Defeating Drill-X was the best. My Mom bought this game for me as a Christmas present. I was 9 at the time. Now, I'm headed into my second year of college. I still have all of the Skylanders. If I have kids in the future...they'll definitely get introduced to this game.

[@soulkingtitan1648]

I hope you the best man

[@StephenLuke]

I'll introduce that to mine too!!!

[@ir0ngamer393]

How was Kaos planning to get to the city anyway? The drill was on an entirely separate island so what was it drilling towards?

[@spellslamzer2210]

Ir0n Gamer is not an island is a machine, and it probably floats

[@angelmarin6442]

He could have just grabbed the drill with the conquertron

[@Galaxy-ke9mf]

It could've been used to observe how good it can drill underground before he takes it to Arkus? That's my theory.

[@machrazerarchive.ditchedch6040]

Reminder: Kaos and his minions stole this entire rig somehow.

[@coltkillergaming5685]

I wonder if it still works

[@allenelijah7063]

You should try it. I for example am recollecting Skylanders and the games to replay them myself, since years ago I gave them all away to younger family. It is so much cheaper now than back in the day, which makes the collection grow substantially faster. Even the games themselves are cheaper than the original prices for the Skylanders figures themselves!

[@allenelijah7063]

P.S. The games are just as fun as they were back then, and the music just as good ;)

[@spacedove9553]

Yeah now every time I past by a big factory it always reminds me of this mission. And it been 9 years

[@jaredlanglitz5651]

Smart choice bringing in Hot Head, he does well against Drill X when fully upgraded. It’s interesting to hear that Zook is Jamaican. Since Kaos’ minions “stole” Drill-X, where do you suppose he came from? Oh my swirls, Sandy is Komasan from Yo-Kai Watch.

Thanks. I'm hoping to have a Swap Force walkthrough before Trap Team comes out, but I won't be playing on Nightmare like this game. I try to show off the different characters that are introduced in the game while collecting everything and having a no-death run of the level, but it is difficult to play as some of them and others are killed in a single hit. Still working on the last few levels...

[@Messi-kg8nf]

Ok thanks are u going to do the last chapters

[@Sakusphere]

Yes, the last two should be the only difficult ones left. The extra levels revamp from the first game should be really quick after that.

[@carmelitafox9180]

(Auto-tuned, singing) Aw, having trouble Drill-X? Your health bar is almost gone. You will lose this fight to Skylander's might, and then he'll send Kaos on the run.
