Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure (2011 PC, PS3, Wii, Xbox 360, Wii U note Exclusive to Japan.) - The original, with 32 characters available.

The last game in the series was in 2016, which began using pre-existing video game characters from franchises besides Spyro such as Bowser, Donkey Kong, Crash Bandicoot, and Dr. Malefor, the Big Bad of the Legend series, appears in several characters' backstories and shows up in person in the tie-in comics. Fan favorite Cynder from the Legend series also returns as a playable toy, and Spyro's trusty dragonfly Sparx appears as a non-playable item toy. Spyro's toy is a Composite Character with the move set of classic Spyro, backstory of the Legend Spyro, and a new design based on a scrapped adult version of himself. The toy gimmick drives the cost for the whole experience up (similar to Activision's deceased Guitar Hero), and while the more cynical may call this nothing but a cheap merchandising ploy, the idea was novel and well-executed, setting it apart from other video games (Well, until a bunch of other games started copying it, that is).

The series was a smash hit with children thanks to its humor, top-notch voice actors, beautiful graphics and simple beat-'em-up gameplay.
