INTRODUCTION
Kaos has blown up the walls of the feared Cloudcracker Prison, 
freeing the most notorious villains in Skylands. It’s up to you and the 
Skylanders to find and capture them. Using Traptanium™, a magic 
material that can harness the power of the Elements, you have the 
amazing ability to trap the villains and return them to Skylands to 
fight for you. Begin the ultimate adventure as you explore Skylands in 
search of the escaped villains!
TRAPTANIUM PORTAL
To begin Skylanders Trap 
Team™, the Traptanium Portal 
must first be connected to 
your Wii Console. With the 
Wii Console powered off, 
insert the Traptanium Portal 
into an available USB port. 
Power on your Wii Console 
and the Traptanium Portal will 
automatically be ready for use.
It is through the Traptanium 
Portal that the Skylanders can 
enter the ancient islands that 
make up Skylands. Once placed 
on the Traptanium Portal, the 
Skylander will come to life and be 
playable in-game. 
It is also through the Traptanium Portal that you can capture villains 
and use them as allies. After defeating villains in Skylanders Trap 
Team, place a trap of the villain’s element in the Trap Slot in order to 
capture it. Subsequently, place that Trap in the portal at any time in 
order to play as that villain.
TOY PLACEMENT
You may place up to 3 toys on the 
Traptanium Portal at once, which 
includes 2 playable Skylanders 
(for 2 player mode only) and 
1 Magic Item or Location Piece 
(sold separately). Additionally, 
you may place one trap in the 
Traptanium Portal Trap Slot.
