The Nintendo versions of both games feature various ''[[Mario (franchise)|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 (who can turn into [[Dry Bones|Dry Boneses]] known as [[Molten 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 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.
