Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure

Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure is the first video game in the Skylanders series. It is a 3D action-adventure platform game that is played along with toy figures that interact with it through a "Portal of Power" that reads their tag through NFC. Players take on the role of a Portal Master, who can control over 30 different Skylanders, including the purple dragon, Spyro, by placing their figurines on the Portal of Power. These heroes are the protectors of an amazing, mysterious world, but they have been ejected from their world by the sinister Dark Portal Master known as Kaos, and now, they are frozen and shrunken down on earth as toys. Due to the lack of magic in the human world, the skylanders are petrified, and only the players of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure can get them back into their world. Once back in their home world, the skylanders embark on a fantastical journey where they will explore mythical lands, battle menacing, outlandish creatures, collect treasures, and solve challenging puzzles as a part of the quest to save their world.

Trivia

 * Although Spyro's name is in the title, Stealth Elf is more heavily centered on the box art.
 * Spyro, along with Gill Grunt and Trigger Happy, are the only Skylanders who Hugo addresses by name at the start of the game. This is the only game where Spyro is seen as somewhat more important than other Skylanders.
 * Future games would drop Spyro's name, and he would become just another Skylander among many.
