Skylanders: Trap Team brings a fresh twist to the Skylanders universe with a unique storyline and gameplay created specifically for the Nintendo 3DS version. When a powerful group of villains escapes from Cloudcracker Prison, it’s up to the Skylanders—especially the new Trap Masters—to track them down, recapture them, and restore peace across Skylands.

The 3DS edition features fast action‑platforming, jump‑and‑fight mechanics, and a compact mission structure perfect for handheld play. Using the 3DS‑compatible Portal of Power, players summon Skylanders into the game, level them up, unlock new abilities, and gather loot throughout elemental‑themed stages.

The defining feature of Trap Team is the ability to capture defeated villains and summon them back into battle as temporary allies. Villains have their own unique attacks, granting exciting variety and strategic options as you build your team.

Colorful graphics, boss battles, hidden areas, and collectible rewards make this one of the most replayable Skylanders titles on the Nintendo 3DS—and a must‑have for fans of portable action adventures.
