'''''{{wp|Skylanders: SuperChargers}}''''' is a {{wp|toys-to-life}} video [[List of games|game]] and the fifth installment in {{wp|Activision}}'s ''{{wp|Skylanders}}'' series, released in September 2015 for the [[Wii U]], {{wp|Xbox One}}, {{wp|PlayStation 4}}, {{wp|Xbox 360}}, and {{wp|PlayStation 3}}, and later in October for {{wp|iOS}}. '''''Skylanders: SuperChargers Racing''''' was released as a standalone title for [[Wii]] and the [[Nintendo 3DS]] on the same date, and it features only the racing portion.

The Nintendo versions of both games feature various ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]''-related elements, including a playable [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Bowser]] (where they are referred to as Turbo Charge Donkey Kong and Hammer Slam Bowser, respectively). Donkey Kong drives a "Barrel Blaster" with [[Diddy Kong]], and Bowser drives a "Clown Cruiser" (both of which are Land and Sky vehicles, respectively). [[Koopa Troopa]]s, [[Dry Bones]], [[Koopa Paratroopa]]s and [[Warp Pipe]]s appear in Bowser's moveset, and [[Bullet Bill]]s can be fired when he is in the Clown Cruiser. Donkey Kong uses Barrels (which can be thrown or used on his hands like boxing gloves), classic ''Donkey Kong'' girders and ladders in his moveset.

Like other ''Skylanders'' games, playable characters are activated by purchasing toys and placing them on the Skylanders stand (named the Portal of Power) that connects to the console. Thus, Bowser and Donkey Kong have received their own Skylanders figures that activate them as playable in-game. These toys also have a switch on the base that allows them to work as [[amiibo]], meaning they are compatible with any titles that support amiibo of Bowser or Donkey Kong. Additional dark versions of the Bowser and Donkey Kong Skylanders and their vehicles have also been released. Bowser is bundled available with the Nintendo 3DS version, Dark Bowser with the Wii version, and Donkey Kong and Dark Donkey Kong both have separate bundles for the Wii U version.

The next game in the ''Skylanders'' series was released in October 2016, titled ''{{wp|Skylanders: Imaginators}}''. The Wii U version of title is compatible with the Bowser and Donkey Kong figures, and thus, the two could be played in that game as well. A [[Nintendo Switch]] version was later released on March 3, 2017 as a launch title for the console, and is also compatible with the two figures.

At GameStop, the Wii U version of the game had a pre-order exclusive comic book titled ''[[Skylanders: Unexpected Allies]]''. This comic book could also be received by pre-ordering either the Nintendo 3DS or Wii version of ''SuperChargers Racing''. The comic illustrates of how Donkey Kong and Bowser came to become part of the SuperChargers team.

*''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'': After purchasing Hammer Slam Bowser's second upgrade on the Koopa Commander upgrade path, Koopa Paratroopa, and using the Molten Bones Soul Gem, the Paratroopas turn into [[Parabones]], a Dry Bones species that debuted in this game.

==Trivia==
*[[Thwomp]]s were originally part of Bowser's moveset, until it was decided that Koopas were a better fit.<ref name="Nintendo Treehouse Footage">Nintendo. (June 17, 2015).

**Similarly, [[Giga Bowser]] was briefly considered as a transformation for Bowser, but was later replaced for unknown reasons by the original [[Magma Bowser]].
