Kaos lost the darkness powers in superchargers, he eventually found out about mind magic and the leaves the academy to live in a swamp to get that mind magic book to get a power boost. It’s literally said in Imaginators so you really can’t say supercharger’s doesn’t exist if this happens(a lot of superchargers references are in Imaginators like captain cluck’s restaurant , pander fast and the vehicles, battlebrawl island comes back,etc).
Not to mention that, even ignoring the comic book, he uses double standards for making Imaginators "have sense" and Superchargers have not and he ignores that trapped villains don't remain good permanently (otherwise Trap Team as a whole wouldn't have sense). It's kinda sad all these stretches he makes could have been easily resolved by either reading the comic book or him keeping more attention to the events. And I'm saying this genuinely, without any hate whatsoever.
@@mjiopytrklkeven in the game it explains that Kaos won with the dark rift engine that powers the sky eater. And didn’t he also use the rift engine to trap Eon into the crystal?
2:05:24 in superchargers, "evil" isn't necessarily destroyed, only evil magic. That's why kaos resorts to mind magic. This is also why most of the villains are reformed probably
My theory in that matter was that the villains in Trap Team that turn into Sensies learn that they need to be good to get out of Cloud Cracker and helping the Skylanders is kinda like parole for them, however most of the villains enjoyed it, and ended up deciding to just roll with it.
@@TheMFThatAsked I mean, kinda. They had to sort all the books in the academy to not get thrown back in Cloudcracker after their second escape. It took two years, and Eon was basically giving them life advice while it happened. Those that had a change of heart had a personal experience that made them reconsider (bad juju having juju Jr, or Wolfgang realizing he could get way more recognition from being a sensei than just being evil, Chompy mage warming up to non-chompies and having his world-view of Chompy supremacy challenged by Flynn and the Doom Raiders, Tae Kwon Crow being dared to look inward) on top their initial desire to not get recaptured.
Lex is probably the best of the FGTV family, so glad you got her in the video, great to hear opinions of others on this game, also the first Skylanders game to show obvious decline.
I actually kinda liked superchargers. The idea of using vehicles was just so awesome to me as a 9 year old kid waking up on Christmas and getting planes and cars for my favorite game
Honestly, this is actually my favourite Skylanders game. While I do enjoy the vehicle gimmick more than most people seem to, my main reasons for liking the game so much are its creativity, story, and presentation. All three of which I think are the strongest in this game. Along with Imaginators, this game has the best graphics. But in combination with that, this game has a much more appealing art style. The colour coordination is nicer, and the locations are very vibrant without seeming visually chaotic like on Imaginators - making Superchargers the best looking Skylanders game imo. The levels are also the most fun and creative in this game. Each level has a completely new gameplay element - such as the switching gravity in the land of the undead, or the 2D platforming sections in the spellpunk library. This keeps every level memorable and genuinely fun to replay. This is probably the only Skylanders game where none of the levels feel boring or redundant. And finally, this game just indisputably has the best story of any Skylanders game. The stakes are highest, it's the most focused, the lore is really cool, and it even develops Kaos as an actual character for once. While I enjoy Imaginators for what it is, I do think Superchargers should've been the last game in the series. Every part of it screams "finale".
Square Eyed Jak would be pissed if he saw this video, by far Superchargers is his favorite Skylanders game and it would be hilarious to see him react to this video!

*Nobody cares about the story of super mario games* Terrible false equivalence because the deep lore of mario games is not a big aspect of the enjoyment.
Superchargers can indeed work after Trap Team, a large portion of his military is all Count Moneybone’s military, likely after months they were able to collaborate to build the Sky Eater. Also Kaos escapes his Traptanium prison with the help of the last remnants of The Darkness hidden in the Academy, he uses it to escape, then he uses it to help him build up his military, he also quickest recruits many minions, he also had several months to build up for a massive attack on Know It All Island where the Skylanders tried to learn how to stop him after they tried looking for him and were attacked. Kaos launched a massive attack on both Know It All Island to prevent the Skylanders from learning how to stop him, also shutting down the portal networks, he also attacks the Academy which is badly damaged, he then kidnapped Eon, Flynn, and Cali before being forced to retreat after stiff Skylander resistance!
Very interesting head canon but we are not talking about fan fictions, we are talking about facts represented to us. Or is this those cartoon/comic book story lines?
I can't believe I watched this video on one sitting. This video even gave me some Schaffrillas vibes, especially at the end. I actually would like to see more this type of review for Skylanders games, like for Swap Force, so why not. It's so nice you decided to clarify more on why you don't like Superchargers. My opinion towards Superchargers has been changing through out the years. I used to hate Superchargers so much back in 2015 and consider it as the worst Skylanders game. Nowadays, I consider Superchargers more positive but it's my third least favorite Skylanders game. I'm sure you, Skylander Gamer TV, are going to hate me for what I consider as my top 2 least favorite Skylanders games. I'm surprised to find out you find Superchargers: Racing more enjoyable than the main game. Even though I hated Superchargers, I did play and enjoy Superchargers: Racing on 3DS back in 2015-17. I stopped playing it as I got bored of the game being nothing more than just racing. The reason why I had Superchargers: Racing is because my brother wanted to have Hammerslam Bowser so badly and he didn't want to get Superchargers: Racing for Wii. I have to admit the gimmick for Superchargers is the most disappointing but it's not the least creative in my opinion; "cough, cough" Imaginators. I'm sorry Skylanders Gamer TV. Stormblade isn't just my favorite skylander from Superchargers but also my favorite female skylander. I had so much fun playing with her and Sky Slicer on Superchargers: Racing. I truly wish Skylanders 7 would become real so I could play with Stormblade again. I don't much care about the other Superchargers because I love Stormblade so much. Star Strike, Tread Head, Food Fight, Fryno and, off course, Chop Chop should have been Superchargers instead of Pop Fizz, Trigger Happy, Stealth Elf, Eruptor and Roller Brawl.
Yeah, I have no clue in the world why Fryno didn’t get a supercharger. His design and moveset literally *scream* Supercharger. Heck, his trap team figure literally has a vehicle on it.
Yes, (SSC is my first so I got biast) but Superchargers is NOT the worst game in the series by far. it can be quiet a gem if you look (and had co-op for Skylanders)
I think I can also answer that whole Continuity Error from the end of Skylanders Trap Team to Skylanders Super Chargers, I think it's because the whole "being able to capture Kaos and turning him good after defeating him" was suppost to be OPTINAL, they don't expect the player to capture Kaos should they not have the Chaos Traptanium Trap Crystal.
I don’t have this opinion just to be different but I genuinely love superchargers. It’s my favorite out of the series. The levels are amazing (expect for captain clucks) the music is so good and it has my favorite title theme, the characters are pretty good but I’ll admit it’s not the best roster out of the series. Bowser and DK are really cool especially for huge Nintendo fans. The gimmick of the game is not the best either, but i really enjoy the vehicle sections with a friend. The story is also my favorite out of the series, opening with sky lands already gone to shit was a phenomenal idea and it was executed perfectly. I do understand why most don’t like it, this was just me gushing over the game.
Watching this after I just found Blaster-tron for $34, so glad to have him in my collection cause I don't have Amy light or knight sensei's so he perfectly conpletes my imaginator experience (minus Ro-bow and Wildstorm levels)
Just finished this magnum opus of a video! The editing and pacing is just right and the credits are a riot. I’ve never played Superchargers, but when I do eventually sit down and play through it, I’ll definitely have to keep these criticisms in mind. You’ve inspired me to come back to UA-cam and dive back into Skylanders content. I salute you and greatly look forward to your next masterpiece. 😎✨
Not gonna post some hot takes on Superchargers but i’m instead here to comment the video itself; this must have took an insane amount of time and dedication and I seriously have to applaud you for putting this out there. 👏👏👏
time to disprove you on the "things you forgot" part 1. hats are unlocked for either civilians or training greebles at rank 10, and not the one you unlock. 2. you can 100% the game, it just doesnt show percentage. (beat the game on nightmare, unlock all hats, treasures, skystones and winged sapphires, beat every level with 3 stars, beat every vehicle elemental gate with 3 stars, complete Buzz's quest line for each Supercharger, collect all emblems, get every achievement and fill the collection.) idk if variants count for collection, but i'd assume not. reposes do tho. 3. elemental gates are vehicle gates now. they require a specific element to unlock, so they're still elemental gates. 4. if Hugo is in the last cutscene of Trap Team, that means he's in the academy. Superchargers main hub is the destroyed academy. he was captured, but since he's smart he found a way to contact you, the Portal Master 5. Superchargers removed nicknames because you could play online with offensive nicknames. 6. the academy is ruined because of Kaos. it makes sense considering everyone important stayed there for safety. 7. The Cloudbreather exists and is a dragon 8. Superchargers tried to re invent skystones.
I’ve played through the entire series multiple times for videos and I definitely have never been this thorough and well put together when approaching the topic haha. I may disagree here and there but damn was this a good video. At least we can all come together and realize how much of a cash-grab these games were. Keep up the great work.
SuperChargers is actually my favorite of all the games but I really liked this video! You were really elaborate with your point of view so I totally see where you're coming from! I'd love to see more long-form content from you like this!
I’ve gotta agree with you man, whenever a series switches to or introduces vehicles as the gimmick it usually signals the downfall for the game as it’s a blatant attempt to get kids to buy into it, with executives thinking “kids like cars let’s put them in!”
You’re not the only one that remembers a Mandela effect from Skylanders. I remember vividly that pain yatta had an arena in trap team with piñata enemies coming in from both sides. He had a giant statue of himself and a throne like in the books. I also remember the statue and ground being made out of piñata material.
I’m gunna split my thoughts up into a few sections. Expect a long comment for a really long video. *The skylanders* The new skylanders all look really cool. Each of them ooze character in their poses, aesthetic, and design. Compare to VV’s previous designs which could look borderline like people in costumes sometimes, they really honed in on how to make cool characters and poses. Also their vehicles make great companion pieces. Their movesets are mostly good too. The small factors I didn’t like in a couple movesets were made up by other parts of them like Astro blast may be slow but he’s able to absolutely destroy when you charge him up. And everything I said applies to the remakes of older characters too. *The gameplay* The gameplay is fine and the vehicle sections may be overbearing but I think their fun even if they can devolve to a souped up QuickTime event. It’s not like annoying gameplay mechanics being forced onto you is anything new for skylanders. Every game has them amd atleast these are fun and somewhat challenging unlike the egg crane or wrecking ball from imaginators or turret sections or that one raft from swap force. also think that removing elemental gates was just necessary at this point because trap team borderline ruined them. Sky stones overdrive is just smash again which I think is fine. Not as good as the one in giants but atleast we still collect the cards and build up a deck (trap team DS had a fully fledged return of giants sky stones which was great). *the story* The game has a great story for skylanders standards and the constant new locations which all get fleshed out with the level length was great. There is one things I really don’t like about the story and that’s how it ends with the darkness being destroyed by a car punch like we’re in rocket league or something. The kaos audio diary was wonderful too. *superchargers vs imaginators debate(dumb)* Now I know you said when skylanders imaginators first came out it was very hyped up and it was, I was there and I was too but I think the realization set in for everyone that making a skylander wasn’t really that fun with the parts they gave us and playing as non senseis just sucked which is kinda shitty because this would be the only game where you could play as EVERY SKYLANDER. And yes, superchargers was not popular on release but what I think people realized is that superchargers had substance, meat. Even comparing the character designs shows there’s a lot more thought in the superchargers then the senseis as most of the senseis just exist for quotas and are forced into specific classes or even elements. Like look how much more fun thrillipede is compared to either of the 2 new life senseis.
Say what you will about Superchargers, but I personally really enjoyed it. It has a wonderful roster of some of the most unique skylanders in the franchise. There are some really neat vehicles, awesome villains, and splendid graphics. I see the disappointment tho. I agree there are FAR too many vehicle bosses, taking away from the platforming sections. Also, yes, some vehicle sections are Debbie downers. But guess what? You don’t have to play two thirds of the vehicle sections if you don’t want to. The levels are some of the best, such as The Cloudbreather’s Crag, Gadfly Glades, Vault of the Ancients, and more. Mags is unbearable though, and and controls for vehicles are a little clunky, but every game has its flaws. Sorry for the essay, but while I respect almost everyone’s opinions about Skylanders, I really do enjoy Superchargers and think it’s the second best, or the best, Skylanders game. Also, I have to respect the dedication put into making this three hour video. Take my like.
2:08:46 I think I tried to piece together a Skylanders timeline one time and eventually came to the conclusion/idea that there are 6 primary areas in Skylands that the 6 different kinds of Skylanders take heed over (Cores/Giants/SWAP Force/Trap Masters/Superchargers/Sensei's) and each generation variant just being the 'oh it's that guy of that area', this idea would explain why we don't see the Swapper's legacy or hear of the volcano in say Giants or Trap Team, why the Lost City Of Arkus isn't a legend in SWAP Force or Superchargers, why the vault of the ancients of colossals aren't some ancient tale in Imaginators or other games
I still really like the split timeline theory and I have my own take on it. When the light and dark elements were introduced they created two new timelines. The dark timeline (superchargers) and the light timeline (imaginators). Superchargers is the dark timeline not just because of the whole darkness thing but also the fact that the story is a lot darker and more serious then other games and imaginators is the light timeline because of the more lighthearted and less serious story. I mean the game consists of fighting a guacamole monster, baking a giant Trojan cake and then kaos going super sayan. It also explains why both games’ stories are wrapped up nicely with little room for a continuation (Kaos being trapped in a jar in I or becoming good in SC)
Also I think it was mentioned somewhere that the villains in TT that weren’t rehabilitated were put back in cloud cracker prison but I might be wrong but either way kaos can probably break out of prison because he has armies of minions and broke the prison in the beginning of the game
I enjoyed superchargers but I understand why people hate it. The thing I like about it is the character roster. I live the roller brawl returned but I would have loved to seen chop chop as a supercharger, he could have an arkean motorcycle.
IMO I feel like Superchargers is better than Imaginators, Maybe not gameplay wise, the game play is less intrusive in Imaginators but Aside from the returning villains I still feel like Superchargers is much better than Imaginators in various aspects
I swear my mom loved buying these she would hand me a list poster and me and my brother would circle the ones we wanted and we got a bunch for Christmas
When I played superchargers for the first time. I automatically new that is was the worst skylanders game. But at the same time i was so happy at this revelation because I knew I didn’t have to keep buying them for much longer as I knew the series was declining. Now in 2022 im able to look back at 6 great games that served there purpose excellently.
I would love to see Trap team next or Swap force since that was also made by vicarious vision and while I I don’t hate superchargers it is one of the weaker games in series still love it though.But I loved the Video and hope you do more of these
It does not matter if you think the comics aren't canon it matters if they are or aren't also it doesn't matter if you don't care about the story if the game has it it matters
the skylanders timeline is linear and yes of course superchargers can work in the skylanders timeline because the villains such as kaos were freed in a comic book that you probably didn't read and the darkness was released by kaos in that very comic which bridges the divide between the games and just because you didn't read it doesn't mean it isn't canon :/
That is true, it is called Rift Into Overdrive. An underrated comic that shows how Kaos escaped the Academy after Trap Team, and so much more that lead to him being able to raise a massive army with the help of Moneybone, and how he built the Sky Eater.
if you also including other sources, like comics and background info, then the chronological order does make sence 1 of the comics shows us that when Kaos was trapped, he was nice and during a festival, where he was let out, Glumshanks went to find him and we find out that Kaos tricked everyone, believing that he is nice he brings Glumshanks deep below the Academy, where we find out that The Darkness (from SSA) is being trapped in a special container as for how he built the Sky Eater, it is unclear except that is was built in the Outlands (my guess, Moneybone helped him, as his level does somewhat resemble the Sky Eater) and why the other villains are out, my guess, after Kaos escaped, the academy was in such a panic, were they did not notice that the other villains escaped as well (but were trapped during the racing cups again) and they simply replaced the Traptanium vault with that online hub thing and the playable Kaos in Imaginators, is just a clone
The boss fight against the darkness should have been a 3 part fight. One for each vehicle type. Land part is the road with the yellow crystals, sky part could be where you have to fly away from a black hole, and sea could be a 2d section where everything has zero gravity and you have to move around the darkness in a cylindrical grid to attack weak points.
Such a great and entertaining video. Giants is another game I think would be cool in this video style. It was my first skylanders game so I have alot of nostalgia for it, but I think it has some problems and it would be cool to see your thoughts on it.
It would be funny if Square Eyed Jak made a video responding to this and how angry he would be that his favorite Skylanders game was ranked so low by Skylander Gamer TV.
I think that superchargers isnt that bad. It’s roster was really good and I think that they deserve more recognition, but I also think the game itself was alright. The problem was that it’s was all to expensive to justify spending money on literal plastic. I think if activision had given it another year just to build suspense, sales would have been much much better.
When it comes to the timeline, what if the game order is like release order, but Superchargers and Imaginators switch places? So it would be SSA, G, SF, TT, I, SC. Only problem I see coming up with my theory is Pandergast and the existance of rancing in Imaginators
the npc's are wearing has because you enabled that feature in the settings, it's not something that can be done on accident, so, you must have enabled them year ago and forgot that you could change it you also forgot about the heroic challenges/quests Buzz gives the superchargers skylanders instead of challenge levels, you do quests similar to the ones in giants, but for superchargers, and, completing them gives your skylander higher stats, and, when you talk to Buzz, the superchargers have actual dialogue and talk back to him instead of just talking in one-liners it's actually pretty cool the other part of the game that's really cool is the vehicle customization, with paint jobs, neon lights, decorations, and custom horns, pretty cool stuff Edit: the game I'd like to see next would be Giants
The Bandit Train is my least favorite level in the entire series. Just when everyone is getting hyped for the last level, UH OH Mags was kidnaped we gotta go save her in a boring level where all you do is fight pirates.
What about the Bowser group that comes with the 3ds game?? I have him and you can only use him in superchargers. Or as an amiibo but not for most games.
I'm not sure but i think that Lord Stratosfear rolling with the random slowmo is a reference to Kung Fu Panda 1, where Tai Lung was rolling in a similiar way. As I said, I'm not sure about it, so if i'm wrong, please tell me. Thanks in advance :)
I feel that a better gimmick could've been something like "Skylanders BeastMasters," where instead of the vehicles, it would be legendary beasts and their tamers, which could've had similar gameplay, with better functionality, and been rather creative with possibly a different story. Each Legendary Beast would've had their own element, lore, and moveset, allowing them to be played both as transportation during racing sections and fighting along your playable skylanders either as an extention of the player or as a mount with some fun abilities added in.
A missed thing i wish we got was small sections were the other gimmick landers would be used. Didnt have to keep crazy stuff behind it just extra goodies
i personally think the idea of having a skylanders game with a darker story was a good idea, most of the people playing were the ones who grew up with the series, and weren’t kids anymore, but it was executed poorly, with it feeling like they weren’t really taking the story seriously, and i know everyone’s said it before, but cars as the gimmick of the game was really weird.

I think I can also answer that whole Continuity Error from the end of Skylanders Trap Team to Skylanders Super Chargers, I think it's because the whole "being able to capture Kaos and turning him good after defeating him" was suppost to be OPTINAL, they don't expect the player to capture Kaos should they not have the Chaos Traptanium Trap Crystal.
I don’t have this opinion just to be different but I genuinely love superchargers. It’s my favorite out of the series. The levels are amazing (expect for captain clucks) the music is so good and it has my favorite title theme, the characters are pretty good but I’ll admit it’s not the best roster out of the series. Bowser and DK are really cool especially for huge Nintendo fans. The gimmick of the game is not the best either, but i really enjoy the vehicle sections with a friend. The story is also my favorite out of the series, opening with sky lands already gone to shit was a phenomenal idea and it was executed perfectly. I do understand why most don’t like it, this was just me gushing over the game.
Watching this after I just found Blaster-tron for $34, so glad to have him in my collection cause I don't have Amy light or knight sensei's so he perfectly conpletes my imaginator experience (minus Ro-bow and Wildstorm levels)
Just finished this magnum opus of a video! The editing and pacing is just right and the credits are a riot. I’ve never played Superchargers, but when I do eventually sit down and play through it, I’ll definitely have to keep these criticisms in mind.
You’ve inspired me to come back to UA-cam and dive back into Skylanders content. I salute you and greatly look forward to your next masterpiece. 😎✨
The lex cameo
Not gonna post some hot takes on Superchargers but i’m instead here to comment the video itself; this must have took an insane amount of time and dedication and I seriously have to applaud you for putting this out there. 👏👏👏
time to disprove you on the "things you forgot" part
1. hats are unlocked for either civilians or training greebles at rank 10, and not the one you unlock.
2. you can 100% the game, it just doesnt show percentage. (beat the game on nightmare, unlock all hats, treasures, skystones and winged sapphires, beat every level with 3 stars, beat every vehicle elemental gate with 3 stars, complete Buzz's quest line for each Supercharger, collect all emblems, get every achievement and fill the collection.) idk if variants count for collection, but i'd assume not. reposes do tho.
3. elemental gates are vehicle gates now. they require a specific element to unlock, so they're still elemental gates.
4. if Hugo is in the last cutscene of Trap Team, that means he's in the academy. Superchargers main hub is the destroyed academy. he was captured, but since he's smart he found a way to contact you, the Portal Master
5. Superchargers removed nicknames because you could play online with offensive nicknames.
6. the academy is ruined because of Kaos. it makes sense considering everyone important stayed there for safety.
7. The Cloudbreather exists and is a dragon
8. Superchargers tried to re invent skystones.
This video fills me with happiness, I’d love to see more!
I’ve played through the entire series multiple times for videos and I definitely have never been this thorough and well put together when approaching the topic haha. I may disagree here and there but damn was this a good video. At least we can all come together and realize how much of a cash-grab these games were. Keep up the great work.
that cameo caught me off guard LMAO
I love how he didn’t even try to get crash in this video, he literally grabbed every skytuber who hates superchargers XD
SuperChargers is actually my favorite of all the games but I really liked this video! You were really elaborate with your point of view so I totally see where you're coming from! I'd love to see more long-form content from you like this!
super chargers grew on me when i replayed it i love the voice actors work and the quality of the grafics it makes it feel alive probobly my top3
I’ve gotta agree with you man, whenever a series switches to or introduces vehicles as the gimmick it usually signals the downfall for the game as it’s a blatant attempt to get kids to buy into it, with executives thinking “kids like cars let’s put them in!”
Jeff Probst standing behind you waiting to snuff your torch when you aren't paying attention terrifies me
15:08 AYO skylander girl my boy is Making big moves😏
Homie got Skylander Girl on this video
I remember having lava lance eruptor and a legendary bone bash roller brawl that I had no idea was a variant until I rediscovered my Skylanders
You’re not the only one that remembers a Mandela effect from Skylanders. I remember vividly that pain yatta had an arena in trap team with piñata enemies coming in from both sides. He had a giant statue of himself and a throne like in the books. I also remember the statue and ground being made out of piñata material.
I’m gunna split my thoughts up into a few sections. Expect a long comment for a really long video.
*The skylanders*
The new skylanders all look really cool. Each of them ooze character in their poses, aesthetic, and design. Compare to VV’s previous designs which could look borderline like people in costumes sometimes, they really honed in on how to make cool characters and poses. Also their vehicles make great companion pieces. Their movesets are mostly good too. The small factors I didn’t like in a couple movesets were made up by other parts of them like Astro blast may be slow but he’s able to absolutely destroy when you charge him up. And everything I said applies to the remakes of older characters too.
*The gameplay*
The gameplay is fine and the vehicle sections may be overbearing but I think their fun even if they can devolve to a souped up QuickTime event. It’s not like annoying gameplay mechanics being forced onto you is anything new for skylanders. Every game has them amd atleast these are fun and somewhat challenging unlike the egg crane or wrecking ball from imaginators or turret sections or that one raft from swap force. also think that removing elemental gates was just necessary at this point because trap team borderline ruined them. Sky stones overdrive is just smash again which I think is fine. Not as good as the one in giants but atleast we still collect the cards and build up a deck (trap team DS had a fully fledged return of giants sky stones which was great).
*the story*
The game has a great story for skylanders standards and the constant new locations which all get fleshed out with the level length was great. There is one things I really don’t like about the story and that’s how it ends with the darkness being destroyed by a car punch like we’re in rocket league or something. The kaos audio diary was wonderful too.
*superchargers vs imaginators debate(dumb)*
Now I know you said when skylanders imaginators first came out it was very hyped up and it was, I was there and I was too but I think the realization set in for everyone that making a skylander wasn’t really that fun with the parts they gave us and playing as non senseis just sucked which is kinda shitty because this would be the only game where you could play as EVERY SKYLANDER. And yes, superchargers was not popular on release but what I think people realized is that superchargers had substance, meat. Even comparing the character designs shows there’s a lot more thought in the superchargers then the senseis as most of the senseis just exist for quotas and are forced into specific classes or even elements. Like look how much more fun thrillipede is compared to either of the 2 new life senseis.
bro my guy a 3-hour video WTF
And I'm gonna watch the whole thing😈
@@reagan4614 same
“Boi wat da hell”
really cool to see you're such a big survivor fan too
The hat on npc's bit is thanks to a portal master power. There is also the opposite option for the training Greebles to wear hats.
Say what you will about Superchargers, but I personally really enjoyed it. It has a wonderful roster of some of the most unique skylanders in the franchise. There are some really neat vehicles, awesome villains, and splendid graphics. I see the disappointment tho. I agree there are FAR too many vehicle bosses, taking away from the platforming sections. Also, yes, some vehicle sections are Debbie downers. But guess what? You don’t have to play two thirds of the vehicle sections if you don’t want to. The levels are some of the best, such as The Cloudbreather’s Crag, Gadfly Glades, Vault of the Ancients, and more. Mags is unbearable though, and and controls for vehicles are a little clunky, but every game has its flaws. Sorry for the essay, but while I respect almost everyone’s opinions about Skylanders, I really do enjoy Superchargers and think it’s the second best, or the best, Skylanders game. Also, I have to respect the dedication put into making this three hour video. Take my like.
Your right about that but I don't like how there is no adventure packs
@@ygtmg yeah, trophies don’t live up to expansion levels. But the trophies were fine.
I also enjoy superchargers but my problem is late game content
Funny that he says he doesn't care about story. Story is more than half the reason I play games playing with friends being the other half 😂
Long video about Imaginators would be awesome!
Man I loved Skylanders as a kid
2:08:46 I think I tried to piece together a Skylanders timeline one time and eventually came to the conclusion/idea that there are 6 primary areas in Skylands that the 6 different kinds of Skylanders take heed over (Cores/Giants/SWAP Force/Trap Masters/Superchargers/Sensei's) and each generation variant just being the 'oh it's that guy of that area', this idea would explain why we don't see the Swapper's legacy or hear of the volcano in say Giants or Trap Team, why the Lost City Of Arkus isn't a legend in SWAP Force or Superchargers, why the vault of the ancients of colossals aren't some ancient tale in Imaginators or other games
2:23:35 this is one of the stardust rank bonuses. U get to pick whether u want freebies or npcs to wear hats
I’ve been waiting for this video since the last podcast. You said it might be your longest video, and it was by far!
I still really like the split timeline theory and I have my own take on it. When the light and dark elements were introduced they created two new timelines. The dark timeline (superchargers) and the light timeline (imaginators). Superchargers is the dark timeline not just because of the whole darkness thing but also the fact that the story is a lot darker and more serious then other games and imaginators is the light timeline because of the more lighthearted and less serious story. I mean the game consists of fighting a guacamole monster, baking a giant Trojan cake and then kaos going super sayan. It also explains why both games’ stories are wrapped up nicely with little room for a continuation (Kaos being trapped in a jar in I or becoming good in SC)
Also I think it was mentioned somewhere that the villains in TT that weren’t rehabilitated were put back in cloud cracker prison but I might be wrong but either way kaos can probably break out of prison because he has armies of minions and broke the prison in the beginning of the game
I love Jeff just standing there haha😂😂😂😂😂😂
the hats on the npc is because at a certain level you can choose to give the dummy’s you fight in the academy hats or the npc hats
I Can't understand how they came up with Swap-Force
It is so creative and random that it works
The NPCs hats thing is one of the portal master rank powers, I think the alternative is hats on greebles
I’m not joking while he uploaded this I was literally finishing a superchargers playthrough
I enjoyed superchargers but I understand why people hate it. The thing I like about it is the character roster. I live the roller brawl returned but I would have loved to seen chop chop as a supercharger, he could have an arkean motorcycle.
Yeah, I feel like Chop Chop was the obvious choice.
IMO I feel like Superchargers is better than Imaginators, Maybe not gameplay wise, the game play is less intrusive in Imaginators but Aside from the returning villains I still feel like Superchargers is much better than Imaginators in various aspects
He’s back
I swear my mom loved buying these she would hand me a list poster and me and my brother would circle the ones we wanted and we got a bunch for Christmas
Pov: you though it was a small rant, not realizing that its three hours long
💀
When I played superchargers for the first time. I automatically new that is was the worst skylanders game. But at the same time i was so happy at this revelation because I knew I didn’t have to keep buying them for much longer as I knew the series was declining. Now in 2022 im able to look back at 6 great games that served there purpose excellently.
Knew
@I'm Dead You mean "shut up".
Nerd.*
LETS GOOOO!!!!!!
Hey! Superchargers is my favourite game in the Skylanders series!
When i was little i was under the impression eon just straight up sent the superchargers to us, like froze them, packageed them and sent them off
i think this game having bowser and donkey kong as guests was part of the gimmick too even if you could only play then if you had a Wii U
OMG YES IVE BEEN WAITING SO LONG!!!
I haven’t watched the video yet but I must say that Superchargers is my favourite Skylanders game so I’d struggle to call it disappointing
Same here. It’s only my second favorite, but I still really like it.
I would love to see Trap team next or Swap force since that was also made by vicarious vision and while I I don’t hate superchargers it is one of the weaker games in series still love it though.But I loved the Video and hope you do more of these
It does not matter if you think the comics aren't canon it matters if they are or aren't also it doesn't matter if you don't care about the story if the game has it it matters
I would like to see this style of video for Imaginators and Trap Team!
Finally finished this video after breaking it up across 3 days and I would love to see something like this for imaginators!
the skylanders timeline is linear and yes of course superchargers can work in the skylanders timeline because the villains such as kaos were freed in a comic book that you probably didn't read and the darkness was released by kaos in that very comic which bridges the divide between the games and just because you didn't read it doesn't mean it isn't canon :/
That is true, it is called Rift Into Overdrive. An underrated comic that shows how Kaos escaped the Academy after Trap Team, and so much more that lead to him being able to raise a massive army with the help of Moneybone, and how he built the Sky Eater.
Epic moment
Skylanders superchargers was one of the best games form the franchise.
if you also including other sources, like comics and background info, then the chronological order does make sence
1 of the comics shows us that
when Kaos was trapped, he was nice and during a festival, where he was let out, Glumshanks went to find him and we find out that Kaos tricked everyone, believing that he is nice
he brings Glumshanks deep below the Academy, where we find out that The Darkness (from SSA) is being trapped in a special container
as for how he built the Sky Eater, it is unclear except that is was built in the Outlands (my guess, Moneybone helped him, as his level does somewhat resemble the Sky Eater)
and why the other villains are out, my guess, after Kaos escaped, the academy was in such a panic, were they did not notice that the other villains escaped as well (but were trapped during the racing cups again) and they simply replaced the Traptanium vault with that online hub thing
and the playable Kaos in Imaginators, is just a clone
And that is actually the backstory for sensei kaos is that he is the first attempt on his kaos clones you fight later on
The boss fight against the darkness should have been a 3 part fight. One for each vehicle type. Land part is the road with the yellow crystals, sky part could be where you have to fly away from a black hole, and sea could be a 2d section where everything has zero gravity and you have to move around the darkness in a cylindrical grid to attack weak points.
Such a great and entertaining video. Giants is another game I think would be cool in this video style. It was my first skylanders game so I have alot of nostalgia for it, but I think it has some problems and it would be cool to see your thoughts on it.
They should have had Glumshanks “die” so Kaos is so heartbroken that he decides too team up with the Skylander to defeat the darkness
They should've made him rage, steal the darkness's powers or something and then become op and have a hard boss battle like trap team.
2:23:35 for one of the portal master rank ups you get a choice between either enemies or NPCs randomly wearing hats
I wonder what Square Eyed Jak's thoughts on this would be.
Watch square eyed make video then
It would be funny if Square Eyed Jak made a video responding to this and how angry he would be that his favorite Skylanders game was ranked so low by Skylander Gamer TV.
I think that superchargers isnt that bad. It’s roster was really good and I think that they deserve more recognition, but I also think the game itself was alright. The problem was that it’s was all to expensive to justify spending money on literal plastic. I think if activision had given it another year just to build suspense, sales would have been much much better.
When it comes to the timeline, what if the game order is like release order, but Superchargers and Imaginators switch places? So it would be SSA, G, SF, TT, I, SC. Only problem I see coming up with my theory is Pandergast and the existance of rancing in Imaginators
Also why would Kaos use Mind Magic when he could just use his own, if Imaginators happens before SuperChargers?
Would love to see more videos like this for other games in the series! Great Video
the npc's are wearing has because you enabled that feature in the settings, it's not something that can be done on accident, so, you must have enabled them year ago and forgot that you could change it
you also forgot about the heroic challenges/quests Buzz gives the superchargers skylanders
instead of challenge levels, you do quests similar to the ones in giants, but for superchargers, and, completing them gives your skylander higher stats, and, when you talk to Buzz, the superchargers have actual dialogue and talk back to him instead of just talking in one-liners
it's actually pretty cool
the other part of the game that's really cool is the vehicle customization, with paint jobs, neon lights, decorations, and custom horns, pretty cool stuff
Edit:
the game I'd like to see next would be Giants
holy shit a 3h video you are on another level dude, congrats
Crash Team Racing Nitro Fueled had Spyro drive thus I don’t get why he couldn’t be in Superchargers.
Seeing Lex literally brought me flashbacks, because I use to watch her in Skylanders Boy and Girl UA-cam channel, good times
The Bandit Train is my least favorite level in the entire series. Just when everyone is getting hyped for the last level, UH OH Mags was kidnaped we gotta go save her in a boring level where all you do is fight pirates.
Really? It’s kind of cool.
I was a very caught off guard when lex was brought on
What about the Bowser group that comes with the 3ds game?? I have him and you can only use him in superchargers. Or as an amiibo but not for most games.
I'm not sure but i think that Lord Stratosfear rolling with the random slowmo is a reference to Kung Fu Panda 1, where Tai Lung was rolling in a similiar way. As I said, I'm not sure about it, so if i'm wrong, please tell me. Thanks in advance :)
Also if you have the time, u should do this for each game, think it would be a good series :)
Drink a shot every time skylander gamer tv says “you know”
you already know my stance on this game lol
but good video all in all
46:39
Why is dive clops giving me that funny look?
Great video, would love to see a video like this for the other skylanders games
I feel that a better gimmick could've been something like "Skylanders BeastMasters," where instead of the vehicles, it would be legendary beasts and their tamers, which could've had similar gameplay, with better functionality, and been rather creative with possibly a different story.
Each Legendary Beast would've had their own element, lore, and moveset, allowing them to be played both as transportation during racing sections and fighting along your playable skylanders either as an extention of the player or as a mount with some fun abilities added in.
Superchargers weren't assembled by Eon they are basically core Skylanders that formed a team during the events of this game which is a refreshing take
I'd love to see one on SSA because that's my favourite one
The game isnt my favorite, but It was still a good time.( Playing as Bowser and Dk was the best)
Honestly, I quite enjoyed this one especially the fact that you could have Bowser beat the crap out of “ invader Zim“
This is amazing ngl
A missed thing i wish we got was small sections were the other gimmick landers would be used. Didnt have to keep crazy stuff behind it just extra goodies
I love the 1980s style credits!
i personally think the idea of having a skylanders game with a darker story was a good idea, most of the people playing were the ones who grew up with the series, and weren’t kids anymore, but it was executed poorly, with it feeling like they weren’t really taking the story seriously, and i know everyone’s said it before, but cars as the gimmick of the game was really weird.
I'm not gonna lie. I wish we got a Spyro Super Charger just cause it would have been cool to have the original trio back.
