Skylander Number

**Skylander Number**, directly derived from *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*'s own fighter number method, is a classification system that sorts out every Skylander selected for the *Super Smash Skylanders* roster.

## Meaning and Procedure

Similar to how Masahiro Sakurai ordered his fighters in *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate*, the Skylanders are ordered by their overall appearance in their respective series as playable characters. They are ordered exactly as planned:

* *Spyro's Adventure* (01-19): The *Spyro's Adventure* fighters are in order first-and-foremost by the appearance in the first official trailer for the game, *"The Beginning"*, with Spyro and Gill Grunt appearing together at the beginning of the trailer, and Trigger Happy appearing right after in a different scene, also nodding to the fact that the three are starred in the first-ever starter pack of the entire *Skylanders* series. Skylanders that did not appear in the trailer were ordered right after the others in alphabetical order by element; any two or more Skylanders that are in the same element were ordered in alphabetical order by name as well.
* *Giants* (20-25): The *Giants* fighters are in order by their appearance in their respective game's official trailer, *"Tall Tales"*, with Pop Fizz and Jet-Vac being the only debuting core representatives of the game to appear in it. Skylanders that did not appear in the trailer were ordered in alphabetical order by element.
* *Swap Force* (26-48): The *Swap Force* fighters are in order by their appearance in the E3 presentation for *Skylanders: Swap Force*, followed by their appearances in the *"Just Like SWAP Force"* trailer for the game. Succeeding them will be the remainder of the SWAP Force, followed by core Skylanders who made their own debuts in *Swap Force*. SWAP Force members that did not appear in either one of the trailers were ordered in alphabetical order by element. The same procedure applies with the core Skylanders; any two or more Skylanders that are in the same element were ordered in alphabetical order by name as well.
* *Trap Team* (49-69): The *Trap Team* fighters are in order by their appearance in "*The Discovery"* trailer for the game, with Trap Masters Snap Shot and Wallop, and core Skylander Food Fight, being the only debuting representatives of the game to appear in it. Succeeding them will be the remainder of the Trap Team, followed by core Skylanders who made their own debuts in *Trap Team*. Trap Team members that did not appear in the trailer were first ordered in the appearance of the opening cutscene of the game's cinematic; the remaining members were ordered in alphabetical order by element. Any two or more Skylanders that are in the same element will be ordered in alphabetical order by name as well; the same procedure applies with the core Skylanders. They're all succeded by High Five and Flip Wreck, who were Frito-Lay Skylanders during the game's publicity, and two remaining Skylanders that belong to the Dark and Light elements respectively, two new elements that debuted in *Trap Team*. The Light-elemental Skylander happens to be a Trap Team member, and, therefore, is ordered before the core Skylander of the Dark element.
* *SuperChargers* (70-76): The *SuperChargers* are in order by their appearance in the *"Large and SuperCharged"* trailer for the game. The remaining *SuperChargers* that did not appear in the trailer were ordered in alphabetical order by element.
* *Imaginators* (77-100): The *Imaginators* fighters are grouped separately between Senseis and Villain Senseis, no matter their timing of appearance. First things first, the Senseis are ordered by their appearance in the gameplay reveal trailer, followed by the Sensei Overview trailer, both for the same game. The remaining Senseis that did not appear in either trailer was ordered in alphabetical order by element. The Villain Senseis were also grouped separately from each other between former Doom Raiders and regular Villains respectively, due to each of their roles in *Trap Team*. The former Doom Raiders are ordered in alphabetical order by element; the same procedure applies with the other Villains, who succeed the former Raiders. Kaos cements his classification as the last number because of this game being his debuting appearance as a playable character (as a protagonist, not a trapped villain), as well as the debut of a new element, Kaos, exclusive only to him.

*As expected, transformations, such as Pop Fizz's and Wild Storm's respective Beast Forms, are not included to be a part of the number method.*
