They hoped that with new mechanics and systems, they can continue to attract new customers to play the game, as well as retaining the core players. In addition, according to CEO Eric Hirshberg, one of the advantages is that Skylanders, unlike its competitors, features largely original characters and would not be confined to any limitation.

The Imaginators mechanic was the most significant introduction, and was designed to be similar to other complex games. However, one of the key principles is to retain its accessibility. They hoped that players can make use of their creativity to create unique Skylanders, and that the team 'can’t wait to see what people create'. This mechanic was inspired by a fan letter after the release of. Selected player-created Imaginators had been printed out through by the Skylanders team.

As Crash has its own physical figure, the team went through multiple design iterations to ensure that they had successfully captured its personality, and that its final pose and appearance are cohesive with his old version.

The team began animating Crash after finishing up the model, with the goal of ensuring that Crash's 'edginess, trademark wackiness, and swagger' are preserved. To capture Crash's legacy, the team specifically created a new life system, spin attack mechanic for it, and numerous crates for its level.
