- “"BOOM!"”
- – Flynn
Flynn is one of the supporting characters who first appeared in the console versions of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure. He helps out the Skylanders by transporting them to the first three different areas using his hot-air balloon in Skylands: Perilous Pastures, Sky Schooner Docks, and Stormy Stronghold. He has a crush on Cali.
Personality
Flynn has a very over-confident personality, especially when it comes to "the ladies". He often calls himself 'the greatest pilot in all of Skylands'. He also tends to put himself in the spotlight, often taking credit for things the Skylander does. After the Skylander defeats Kaos, Flynn admits that the Skylander is kind of amazing, mentioning that he doesn't say that about anyone other than himself.
He is also courageous, as evident in The Machine of Doom, when he was held captive by Kaos, Flynn was willing to sacrifice himself for the Skylanders to leave with an item that could give Kaos ultimate power. On some occasions, Flynn isn't the smartest person in the group, but is apparently very knowledgeable about flight equipment. As evident in Swap Force, he relies too much on machinery and isn't used to different ways of traveling around besides using a ship.
Story
Skylanders: The Machine of Doom
Flynn was helping Hugo warn the Skylanders on what the both of them had seen in the Mabu Market. However, upon arriving at the Eon's island, Flynn's hot air balloon went out of control and crashlanded into Eon's garden, nearly crashing on Boomer had Spyro not saved the troll.
Boomer soon helped Flynn repair his hot air balloon, and the ballonist later assisted the Skylanders on their mission to get the Chattering Key that resided in the Forest of Fear. While the Skylanders were within the forest, Kaos captured Flynn and used him to force the Skylanders into giving the tyrant the Chattering Key in exchange for Flynn's life. Flynn told Spyro not to give the key to Kaos, as the Mabu was willing to sacrifice himself for the Skylanders' mission. The young dragon, not willing to sacrifice Flynn, gave Kaos the Chattering Key, but the tyrant soon used Flynn as a hostage to keep the Skylanders from following the evil Portal Master. Inside the Pyramid of Just Rewards, Flynn was held dangling above the flames of the chamber by Glumshanks, until he was eventually freed by Eruptor and later escaped the crumbling pyramid along with the heroes.
Skylanders: Lightning Rod Faces the Cyclops Queen
Flynn was taking Hugo, Squirmgrub and Double Trouble to the Storm Titan Games to inform Master Eon of the location of the next segment to the Mask of Power. However Lightning Rod's stray hammer crashed into Flynn's air balloon, causing it to spiral out of control. The passengers, including Flynn himself, were saved from the crash by Drobot. Afterwards, Hugo informed Eon of the next fragment to the Mask of Power.
After Cali was taken by Kaos, Flynn helped the Skylanders by chasing after Kaos's Drow airship in his air balloon. The Mabu later took part in helping the Skylanders retrieve the Air segment to the Mask of Power.
Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure
Flynn helped out Hugo in seeking out the new Portal Master and the returning Skylanders on the Shattered Island. He later helps out the Skylanders in favor of taking down Kaos, and also due to Cali's involvement. The Balloonist took the heroes by transporting them to the first three different areas using his hot-air balloon in Skylands: Perilous Pastures, Sky Schooner Docks, and Stormy Stronghold. Flynn afterwards stayed in the Ruins, but would give out balloon rides to the Skylanders all the while talking about himself and other various things.
After Kaos' defeat, Flynn stood by Cali and Hugo next to a captive Kaos, and complained about the tyrant's ramblings. This caught the attention of Cali as she finally noticed something that both she and Flynn agree on, thus making them more mutually friendly towards each other, and she complimented the balloonist that he's okay when he's not saying something ridiculous, to which Flynn responds with a 'back at ya'. As Kaos was sent skywards to Earth by Hugo, Flynn remarked about how fast the teleportation was.
Skylanders: Giants
After the events of Spyro's Adventure, Flynn gained a large amount of reward money for supposedly 'defeating Kaos'. He wasted the reward money on a cursed ship called the Dread-Yacht, which he used to help the Skylanders travel to find the Lost City of Arkus to beat Kaos to the Iron Fist of Arkus. After Kaos was defeated again, Flynn modestly appreciated his crew on his ship for their part on the adventure, even revealing that he would turn over a new leaf by becoming more humble, much to Cali's surprise and satisfaction.
Skylanders: Swap Force

While on vacation at the Cloudbreak Islands, Flynn is thrust into another adventure when a fox girl named Tessa runs into him seeking the help of the Skylanders after her village was attacked by Kaos' forces. After escaping from their pursuers, which resulted in the Dread-Yacht taking heavy damage during the chase, the Mabu pilot was guided to Woodburrow where the task of retrieving the Ancient Elementals and stopping Kaos and his mother were given to the Skylanders.
In the Tower of Time adventure pack, Flynn travelled to Clock Town with the Skylanders to help the Time Keepers stop Cluck from restarting time. As soon as they arrived, Flynn encountered his past self. Then, they both go home and both say "Into the Wild Blue!"

Trivia
- Flynn resembles a caracal in appearance, but with rings around his eyes and a koala-shaped nose.
- His humorous one-liners, combined with Patrick Waburton's excellent voice acting, makes him one of most popular side characters of the game to fans.
- After beating Spyro's Adventure, you may ask him to go on a balloon ride again even though he would have said 'no' to the player before when the sky became the orange color. When he does this, he has slightly different comments for what the player sees.
- As shown in Skylanders: Giants, Flynn isn't allowed on quite a few islands, varying in reasons from owing money to trying to steal a compass worshipped by Drow.
- He claims to have found love in the Junkyard Isles, though this was likely intended as an attempt to make Cali jealous.
- It is possible that something happened to his balloon because in the level, Autogyro Adventure because occasionally, if you crash, he laments, "I miss my balloon."
- During the credits, Flynn's balloon can be seen in the background after Flynn pilots the 'dingy' away. While it's hard to say, it looks like there is someone in the balloon.
- Flynn breaks the fourth wall in the credits of the console versions of Skylanders.
- He and the Chompy Mage love enchiladas.
- Despite saying that he'll be more humble in the final cutscene of Giants, Flynn will still brag a bit when the player talks to him after beating the final level. He also states at the very end of the final cutscene that the "BOOM is back!" implying he may have changed his minds about being humble. This is also evident in Swap Force, when he still tries to take credit for the heroics the Skylander did.
- In both Giants and Swap Force, he always says Ultimate Boom in the end.
- In the Tower of Time adventure pack, Flynn makes a Star Fox reference by mentioning to Cluck about doing a barrel roll with his large hot air balloon if he didn't have passengers.
- Flynn's 'Magic Volcano Hat' can be unlocked as a wearable hat for Skylanders in SWAP Force by completing the game on nightmare mode.
