To begin Skylanders SWAP Force, you will need to
prepare your Portal of Power. First, please install
batteries into the Portal of Power. To turn on your
Portal of Power, press on the top until it clicks and
the Portal of Power lights up.
You can use the Portal of Power to bring your
Skylanders to life by visiting Hugo in Boom Town.
When prompted, aim the rear facing infrared
transceiver of the Nintendo 3DS system at the front
facing infrared sensor on the Portal of Power. Look
for the white arrow on the top of the Portal of Power
to help you line it up.
You can place one figure on the Portal of Power at a time which includes: a playable
character, a Magic Item or Location Piece (sold separately). The Portal of Power and at
least two Skylanders figures are required to start a new profile and to proceed in the
first part of the tutorial. Skylanders from Skylanders SWAP Force, Skylanders Giants™,
and Skylanders Spyro’s Adventure
®
can all be used in Skylanders SWAP Force.
For easy mobility, the Portal of Power can be powered off and the Skylanders who
have entered the game through the Portal of Power can be swapped into play at
any time using the menu at the bottom screen.

take your Skylanders Figures to a friend’s house, your Skylanders will keep all of the
Experience Points you collect!
Saved stats:
• Experience Points and Experience Level.
• Upgraded Abilities and Stats.
• The hat your Skylander is currently wearing.
