Wii Skylanders Trap Team (No Portal Included)
*Game requires the following accessories to use:
- At least one playable Skylander figure with a red, blue, orange, OR green bottom
- Any Portal of Power compatible with the Wii AND compatible with the Trap Team version of the game (The Trap Team Portal has a small hole on the border used for traps, with a small speaker below it)
- One Nunchuck to attach to the Wii remote
The game can NOT be played at all without these accessories. This product is intended to be sold to those who already own the required accessories.
In addition, while only one Skylander is required to complete the main game, one Skylander of each of the ten elements (air, dark, earth, fire, life, light, magic, tech, undead, and water) are needed to access the game's optional elemental gates. The "light" and "dark" elements are introduced in this version of Skylanders and are both referred to as "unknown" in-game. In this game, elemental gates can ONLY be unlocked by a Trap Master character, a new type of Skylander introduced in Trap Team. Characters who are not Trap Masters can no longer unlock Elemental Gates.
As mentioned above, a new type of Skylander debuts in Trap Team: "Trap Masters." These figures are recognizable by their slightly larger size and semitransparent weapons called "Traptanium Weapons." In Trap Team, they are the only weapons that can unlock elemental gates. In addition, they are also able to destroy "Traptanium Shards." Destroying the shards allows players to access new areas and possibly find treasure. Trap Masters and the areas they unlock are completely optional, and the game can still be completed from start to finish without them.
Another new addition to this Skylanders game is the ability to trap certain bosses upon defeating them using semitransparent, crystal-like figures called traps. There are ten colors of traps, one for each element (for example, the fire trap is red, the water trap is blue, etc.). Traps can be used by placing them into the small hole in the portal when a boss of the trap's corelating element is defeated. The villain inside the trap, after a brief reaction to being defeated, will then become a playable character. Occasionally, these villains will "talk" through the portal's speaker, with varying dialogue depending on the character in the trap. Traps can be used to capture multiple bosses, as long as the element of the boss matches the element of the trap. There is also a unique "Kaos Trap" that is exclusively used to trap and play as the main antagonist of the game, Kaos, and is not associated with any element. Traps come in many different shapes; however, the shape of a trap is purely cosmetic and does not affect its abilities. Traps themselves are NOT required at any point to complete the game from start to finish; HOWEVER, the "Traptanium" Portal, which is able to use traps and has a speaker, IS.
Owning additional Skylander figures is not required, but may enhance the player's overall experience with the game.
