Why Trap Team Is Everyone's Favorite Skylanders Game 

the one thing that really icks me about the elemental gates is that it was so clearly a last-second decision that was made, with non-traptanium elemental gates being present in promotional screenshots, as well as the fact that you couldnt even access the life gate in the first level on release i think if trap team was a lot more user-friendly with things like this i’d appreciate the game a whole lot more

That moment when he said “it solved swap forces issues” then Krypt King glitched

Swap Force is so underrated. I know it’s very different from the rest of the games but I actually really like that they tried something new. Imo its graphics are the best out of all the games, also the swappers are my favorite gimmick. Anyways good video 🫶

Swap Force slept on again, but TT is my second favorite so it’s fine. However, I still don’t understand the level hate in swap force. Yea the level themes are similar but it helps the game make more sense. Rather than traveling to 15 completely different places the story actually has some continuity since it spends more time in each zone.

I'd suggest wondering over to the Skylandeer server you will get teared to shreds for having tt be your favourite game

4:31 he originated in giants

SOMEBODY ELSE WHO LIKES IMAGINATORS AND EVEN CALLS IT ITS FAVOURITE GAME... Never saw anybody else who likes Imaginators But as somebody who used to have Trap Team as its fav game before it became Superchargers (They are very close to eachother) I can say why Trap Team used to by my favourite -How realistic the 4th wall breaking feels, unlike other games that just let the characters look at you and talk... They actually put a boombox or how ever its called in the Traptanium Portal to make it sound so realistic, it actually sounds like they are talking to you! It gets used very well with Kaos -The boss fights, the boss fights are a lot of fun! The differences between all the bosses are fun and they gave more villians then just Kaos a big role in the game! -The traps, we all know why... Everybody loves to play as villians they trap! -The minigames to evolve trapped Villians, even tho some of them are annoying... A lot of them are fun! People call the game glitchy when I had like 0 issues with the game, like I never had issues with Trap Team but according to others its full with problems! (Did not watch the vid yet, will do now tho! Just first wanted to comment this)

Kaos’ theme from this game specifically is my favourite version. Also I love how he broke the 4th wall to try and go after the portal master (player) Playing as the villains is a cool concept but some of the villains are kinda lame.

Unpopular upionion: I thought spyro's adventure was the best. Extra info: I only just started playing superchargers, just finished trap team for the first time and will play imaginators after. I am someone who values level design A LOT, but also puzzles and story pacing. I got into the skylander franchise even before the release of giants and played the first 3 games as a child. Only playing the last 3 games for the first time right now. The level design in giants to me was really boring, hence why it is currently my least favorite, also because the story was very forgettable. Swap force had longer levels which i was okay with, but the ending felt rushed, also good lvl design. Trap team is probably my second favorite, and the two levels of superchargers i just played were really good imo. I think a lot of ppl like the 4th game the most cuz they grew up with it, and not with the first game? IDK. What makes the 1st game better to me than the 4th is the puzzles. The fact that half of the element gates in the 4th game contain ABSOLUTELY nothing is soo icky. Just a hat/chest, thats it. In the first game they designed a small puzzle for every gate.

Knight Light and Nitemare are some of my favorite skylanders along with Tree Rex and Drobot.

I started with Swap Force, and I have all of the Skylanders throughout the series, but Trap Team will forever hold a special in my heart, and I would easily get back to this if I had a new copy for the game.

We've failed men...😔

Why am I feeling the urge to replay Trap Team now💀 I love these games and now want to collect the last few Trap Masters that I’m missing

I loved trap team growing up and i still do, i have most of the elements except fire and light trap masters and missing light trap, however it's really fun playing as villains and half of them feel better here than the imaginators version, i wish they kinda kept that forward in the others or at least put the trap on and play as them

I never really utilized traps other than broccoli guy for heals sometime and golden queen for extra cash when farming the thing that spawns eyes

This is definitely my favorite. My second favorite game ever, and the majority of me playing it was on the WII.

imo giants is better lmao. In my opinion it has better levels, is more polished, more consumer friendly, has better music. Trap Team is pretty buggy, is full of stock music (roughly 40 percent), the roster, especially skylanders from swap force, are unbalanced (its not as bad as imaginators and theyre still viable though), the game randomly uses ssa and giants assets and its jarring, some of the levels are the worst in the series imo (screw golden desert lol). Also you need TWENTY FOUR figures to 100 percent the game which is absurd.

Idk man people seem very divided over TT...

No badies. Jk no pvp so uh.... Giants the GOAT.

I really like Trap Team because I really liked to play this kinda dungeon round based levels ( I dont remember name of it) when your element ( like fire) spawns flamethrower etc. I didnt play trap team for so long because I play it on my xbox 360 but broke and now I have playstation 4 and still cant find it in nearly normal price to buy.😢

Ok so here are my few problems with trap team You need 25 figures for 100 percent, I don’t care about the pricing but twenty five? In most games you need between 8-15 figures, then the trap masters are discounted senseis, they just made them because they needed more gimmick landers, the villains most of them are forgettable, and even there are two doom raiders that are just there, there is not a single normal villain that only appears in his boss fight and that, they all appear as normal enemies at some point, yes even sheep creep (in Brock’s rumble arena) speaking about the arena, it’s really boring, no good music, the gimmicks repeat a lot, and you can cheese it with a villain, the only arena I like is the last one because it had new mechanics, no pvp, the doom challenges are just enemy spam, and there are so boring I used villains to finish them quickly, trap team has some great levels but also some that are the worst, Chef zeppelin has only one good thing, chef pepperjack, rain fish Rivera is BORING, telescope towers has the same enemies that monster marsh, secret sewers of supreme stink is one of the most forgettable levels that I’ve ever played, operation troll rocket steal is mystic mill 2, golden desert feels empty, and the ultimate weapon is the lamest final level on the series (without counting kaos), the NPCS are fine, I really like the new ones like buzz head wick and mags, but Flynn and cali, definitely feel different, they don’t feel like they did in giants or SSA and that was their best version and the academy is big, but empty, oh wait you have 5 bonus areas that feel like LITERALLY the same, the sky stones in this game is the worst version, you can’t lose a game if you use half cell of your brain, just spam broken sky stones and you win, this game has good skylanders but then there is: flip wreck, blastermind, trail blazer, tuff luck, some of the most forgotten skylanders… Ok I think that’s enough

Please show your entire skylander collection 🙏😉

I need this comment section to understand what sarcasm looks like

The talking portal and trapable villains really gave these toys more life than ever. And the roster wasn't bad neither

Trap team is my favourite cuz you can play as villains and the new elements, but it also has the most glitches

I've never really been a fan of trap team. Giants was always my favorite. I always hated buzz and mags because they were annoying and unnecessarily loud, and I felt like they wouldn't shut up. But the idea was always cool

Im really proud of having every trap team skylander 💪

My favorite is giants, I mean I can believe that trap team is one of best as it has a lot of content and vary good graphics and returning content

Giants is best

Trap Team is my first Skylanders game and I loved it

Trap team definitely a lot of peoples favorites I feel like a lot of that is behind nostalgia… it’s my favorite… for me it was because we got new elements, alot of variants and core skylanders and the ability to trap villains and play as them

It’s true that trap team’s level vibes just hit different, but telescope towers just has a uncomfortable feel. (Also chef zeppelin is the best)

Trap team is my favorite of all skylanders games I wish there’s an elephant trap master name Tramplehant with a traptanium kettlebell that he swings with his trunk and tramples enemies instead of headrush GO BIG GO SMASH! 🐘

Mine favorite is Spyro’s adventure

It was the last game I played. So I’m happy I ended on peak.

my favorite skylanders game is swap force and trap team is probably my third

I remember trap team used to be my favourite but now it’s only my 3rd favourite, I think giants is 2nd and superchargers is 1st

Kaboom is dogwater ngl

Grill me if you will, but I really adore Trap Team, even with all of its flaws. It was one of the first times I got a game at release as a little kid, and that just added so much to the experience because, up to that point, I had to save for about a year after a game released until I could buy it, and by then, the hype was all gone. TT was the first game I really felt like I could connect with other kids my age about. Is it a buggy mess? Sure. Is it perfect? Hell nah. Is it my favorite Skylanders game? No, not even close (giants and swap force are 1st and 2nd respectfully). However, it’s a buggy mess that I grew up with and am attached to it, so I feel the need to defend it a little bit. Sorry for the yappachino lol

i might be an outliar, but my favorite is Giants. only my SECOND favorite is Trap team.

You either love Trap Team, and dislike Swap Force. Or love Swap Forcr, and dislike Trap Team

honestly W takes cloud breaker

I went to see if the trap team characters play worst in superchargers and id use six characters and so far they played better in superchargers than they did in trap team so no the claim that trap team skylanders played worst in superchargers is not true as for imaginators all past skylanders are nerfed

Trap team and imaginators are the best

Trap team is my favorite game because my favorite part of sky lander games are the boss fights and trap team does it best

Everything after swap force wasnt skylanders

This game was good but my personal favorite was superchargers

Trap team is probably the most refined out of all the games but swap force is my favorite

Trap Team Kinda feels like they made the game and released it its buggy laggy and it gets rid of the charm from Co-Op

Giants is my favourite sky landers game ever, however trap team is by far the best

Swap Force and Trap Team share number 1. 100%. Trap Team is definitely not better than Swap Force, but Swap Force isn’t necessarily better than Trap Team. Both are incredibly good games and definitely the best Skylanders games. Second place goes to Giants in my opinion, because I love spyros adventure and Giants took spyros adventure and just improved the formula. Third place Spyros adventure Fourth place Imaginators (haven’t played it but it looks pretty good from what I’ve seen) And the worst by far is superchargers. Car fights are boring, the collectible system is significantly worse than before, the levels (sadly) were incredibly well designed which kind of makes me wanna cry because Superchargers had great potential… if they just stuck to the formula and didn’t go for… vehicles… Donkey Kong and Bowser were very cool, that’s for sure… but besides that SuperChargers kind of really messed up everything. Besides level design and puzzle ideas (thinking of the Gong puzzle and how they made you find them and strike them in the right order) the cars just messed many things up, and the collectible system just wasn’t fun in my opinion. I ended up restarting the arena level like 30 times collecting all the chest spots and wishing stone spots and grinding it out until I got everything. Then the chapter thing was just… WHY? It worked so well!! And even if you wanted to separate just make people jump to certain points in the level (start, post mini boss / gate / … , and shortly before the end) but a chapter should always be a whole level. Swap Force = Trap Team > Giants > Spyros Adventure >>> Imaginators >>>>>>>>>>>>> … (imagine like half a million of these) SuperChargers

My favorite skylanders game is Giants

Idk man but SF is usually the favorite in my experience, TT really felt like a downgrade in almost every aspect tbh...

Trap team and swap force

I like Swap Force better.

Trap Team is shit, Imaginators is shit, Giants and Superchargers is PEAK

Giants best game, Flynn the most smashable in that one

Who is everyone?

So glad someone’s favorite is imaginators I swear that game gets too much hate

Series 3 terrafin has a backwards glove on my copy... dead game lol

That unfinished game is not my favorite

Having imaginators your favourite tame tells a lot on the consideration that you have on the skylanders brand. It is literally the killer of the skylanders idea: the first and only game that doesn’t let you play with your previous skylanders in higher difficulties because they are literally artificially nerfed so that you must pay for crystals and senseis. Shortest story of every game. Most money grabber game. Having blasted imaginators, I would say TT definitely is not a good skylanders game. It comes fourth after a masterpiece as swap force, and it has the combat system of ssa/giants. Very bad, you have big guys like enigma whose melee attacks cannot stun enemies, so they are tremendously weaker than those who have ranged weapons (lob star and gearshift to make an example). Very bad point. Secondly, trapping enemies is boring, they only have 2 attacks, there are so many villains that you never even try all of them. Thirdly, this game wants you to have a trap master of each element to open the elemental gates, but they always hide stupid boring rooms where you instantly get your reward (hat or similar shit) while even ssa had some platforming. Then, the design of many skylanders is quite ugly (torch, rocky roll, fist bump, bat spin, food fight, thread head and I can continue; they are absolutely passable if paragoned to chads like chop chop, camo, sonic boom, smolderdash, bumble blast, scratch, pop fizz, fright rider and I could continue). Just some of them should be remembered, like echo, spotlight and blackout. Last but not least this game has absolutely the worst game design: the skylanders’ moveset are boring, badly made (blackout is intended to be way more powerful but it’s literally badly developed and its second attack doesn’t stack, but it does in SSC and Imag), they wasted 2 upgrades (in some cases) into 2 combos while ssa had them in only one upgrade, the levels are boring, it’s a walking simulator, there is nonreal platforming challenge and the combat is a shit as I said. I know a lot of people who like this game, but it is cause of affection from the childhood I think. My favourite is SSA for this reason, my first game, but the truly overall best game is swap force, no doubt on that and those who don’t agree should play swap force first and trap team second. Then if they still don’t think swap force is a better game probably they should indagate what they have in their minds. It’s like saying soup is better than pizza.

Lies

I love trap team. But it mostly my 2end or 3rd fav game for skylander. My 1st is swap force. 1. Swap 2. Trap 3. Spyro 4. Super charge 5. Imagine 6. Giants My fav in order. Hint have to think of bad of this there manny like: specail zone issue, no side content much, pvp gone. # trap team

Trap team is one of my least favs just came here to say that after seeing the title

Im not joking, and i swear this isn't rage bait but man.... i think its the worst game in the whole franchise. Imaginator is REALLY close but still.

Nope
