In  Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure™, you can  Bring Your Toys to Life™ in a boldly innovative adventure
game where players collect real-world interaction figures and teleport them directly into the game using
a mystical Portal of Power.

Propelled by a story-driven adventure, penned by Academy Award-nominated  Toy Story feature film
writers, Joel Cohen and Alec Sokolow, players take  on the role of a powerful Portal Master who can
control over 30 different characters, including the beloved fire-breathing dragon Spyro.  Players will
embark on a fantastical journey into an amazing world, where they will explore mysterious, mythical
lands, battle menacing outlandish creatures, collect gold and treasures, and solve interesting puzzles
while on a quest to save their world from Kaos, an evil Portal Master.

Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure changes the way we look at toys and videogames, as well as how we
interact with them by introducing action figures that become interaction figures and remember all of their
dynamic experiences created in the game.  For the first time ever, players can personally customize and
power-up their toys, as well as bring them to life on a friend’s Portal of Power for co-op play and player-versus-player arena battles.  Additionally, with the freedom to change characters whenever they like,
Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure allows kids to utilize different interaction figures and strategies each time
they play.

KEY FEATURES:

  Interaction Figures – Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure offers over 30 characters to bring out the kid in
everyone.  It’s all about choice, and each interaction figure has their own unique and expressive
personality, powers and abilities which provide distinct advantages and skill sets for various levels,
obstacles and enemies.
o  Toy Cross-platform Playability – For the first time ever,  Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure
introduces “Cross-platform Playability.” In an entertainment breakthrough for the video
game and toy industries, players will be able to collect a variety of interaction figures and
bring them to life using the innovative Portal of Power across a variety of transmedia
experiences, including consoles, handhelds, mobile devices and in the Web World.
o  Toys with Brains – Action figures become interaction figures as each toy contains a “brain”
that remembers the player’s shared experiences and leveled-up abilities (e.g. stats, ability and
attack upgrades, and gold collected) created in the game directly within each toy. This allows
players to personally customize and power-up their characters, as well as take their
interaction figures on-the-go to bring them to life on a friend’s ‘Portal of Power’ for co-op
play and player-versus-player arena battles.
o  Categories, Strategy & Collectability – Interaction figures are classified by element types
(Earth, Air, Fire, Water, Life, Undead, Magic, and Tech) and each has their own heroic
challenges that are unlocked as more characters are collected.  Players can collect and then
strategically select their favorite characters within the different element types to go up
against certain enemies, obstacles, and puzzles as well as access new areas within the
different levels of the game.

  The Portal of Power – The mystical Portal of Power serves as a gateway between our world and the
amazing game world, allowing you to ‘Bring Your Toys to Life’ by teleporting real-world toys directly
into the game for players to control when placed upon the Portal of Power.

  Exploration – As the tale unfolds, players will encounter a variety of vivid environments, each with
its own unique look and feel, and each providing different challenges, puzzles, and the discovery of
secret areas, rewards and mini-games.

  Co-Operative Play – Players can join forces with friends and drop in and out of each level with as
many different interaction figures as they like.  Different strategies can come into play as players can
select their favorite characters to tag-team against certain obstacles, hazards and/or enemies within
the different levels of the game.

  Player vs. Player  –  A classic battle mode provides a selection of different game modes and arena
maps for players to face off against each other. Each unique arena map contains a variety of obstacles,
hazards and power-ups.  Players will want to make sure they build up their army of different
characters and level them all up to battle their friends on equal ground.
