Trivia

 * Activision wanted to make a deal with Nintendo to make the series exclusive for their consoles, during Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure production. However, Nintendo turned down the deal, and Activision made the game multiplataform.
 * This is a coincidence, as Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and Hammer Slam Bowser are exclusive characters for Nintendo consoles.
 * Skylanders Imaginators is the second skylanders game that is amiibo compatible.
 * The first planned characters are a warrior version of Peach, Fox, and Kirby.
