Trivia
- The Sidekicks seem to speak with a sped-up version of their counterpart's voice.

- In Nintendo 3DS versions, Sidekicks follow the Skylanders through the hub world, but not through chapters.
- In Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, you can hit the Sidekicks by yourself, causing them to turn red as if damaged. They can also be set on fire, which seems to imply that the Sidekicks are coded as enemies.
- Spry and Bop were originally planned to be sidekicks in Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, but were scrapped and later implemented as Mini Skylanders in Skylanders: Trap Team.
