To be fair, the Skylanders figure functions as an amiibo too, so you're still technically right in calling it that.

Yeah. It literally says Amiibo on bottom of the base

You can swap between amiibo and skylander mode

Also, it seems that the Dark Hammer Slam Bowser figure, specifically, is exclusively a Skylander.

[@monkeykingw]

@@DrRank Funnily, Dark Hammer Slam is the one that I own, and it does act as an amiibo. The little fire plumage piece that acts as the base for the figure acts as a sort of dial, that you can switch it between Skylander and Amiibo

Some say you’re favorite color is part of your personality. What about someone like Bowser who has worn many colors of the rainbow throughout his over 35 year career as a boss?

[@KloneKomet]

King Koopa's Kool Kartoons is actually pretty interesting. Most of the segments are lost media, likely because the show lasted so short. There's a rumor floating online that the show was cancelled because Bowser had read a letter from an angry kid, and had then threatened the kid by telling him he knew where he lived, causing the show to be cancelled. However, it's just a rumor.

I actually really liked this episode. It was really unique and different. Was fun. I wouldn't mind seeing similar type of content in the future.
