Wilikin Village is one of the levels in Skylanders: Giants. It is the home of the Wilikin.
Description
At any given point during gameplay, this level takes place in one of two worlds: the Real World or the Wilikin World.
The Real World is a dismal collection of islands with a flat gray-blue sky, where dull painted boards replace objects such as flowerpots, houses, and walls. In the Real World, the Wilikins flop lifelessly to the ground and cannot speak.
Switching to Wilikin World transforms the level into a vibrant village decorated with cheerful flowers and friendly Wilikin. In this realm, the level's colors appear much brighter, and the painted wooden objects come to life. The sky loses its flat quality and becomes blue with white clouds.
History
The Wilikins originally lived with Kaos, who the dolls still remember fondly of. The Wilikin were Kaos's toys when he was young. He didn't know he was a Portal Master back then, and was shocked to discover he could bring Wilikin to life. Shocked, and a bit fearful of what his mother would say if she knew he had these powers (she often blamed Portal Masters for the problems in Skylands), he thought it'd best to keep the Wilikin secret. He began building a device that would return the Wilikin to their inanimate toy state whenever mother visited his room. Only problem was that these devices caused other things in the world to shift too, not just the Wilikin.
During one of these shifts, Kaos's mom noticed that the radishes she was boiling for dinner suddenly became bombs. Shortly after that, she learned of the Wilikins and her son's Portal Master powers. She wasn't too happy, but agreed to let Kaos keep his Wilikin friends on the condition that he get rid of those crazy switchers. Thus, he dumped a bunch of them on a remote island that would later became Wilikin Village.[1]

Trivia
- The concept of switching between two worlds to solve puzzles is also seen in Darklight Crypt, one of the Adventure Pack levels. The level designer responsible for Wilkin Village was tasked with creating a "new version" of Darklight Crypt with the same mechanics, just "less creepy" (although, in her words, she failed completely at the latter). [2]
- The Hamilton Landing area was inspired by the address of Toys of Bob. [3]
- This is the only level in the game in which Root Runners actually move, although this only happens in the Real World.
- Enemies transform between the Real World and the Wilikin World:
- Chompies are regular in Wilkin World but Enfuego in the Real World.
- Bark Demons are cardboard trees in Wilikin World.
- Root Runners are stumps being used as flower pots in the Real World.
- Mace Majors and Grenade Generals are cardboard in the Real World.
- If you look at the island when you face the Chompy Mage, the island looks like a Hidden Mickey, a popular search item by Disney.
- Shroomboom is able to use his Self-Slingshot to launch himself through the first key gate. It usually takes two launches to get all the way though, but it is possible to pass through entirely with a single launch. Using this trick, a key can be carried to the final key gate to make the final enemy battle trivial.[4]
- Similarly, Shroomboom can also save time by launching himself over the fence in Planer Plateau. This skips the loading zone for the rising and lowering boxes, causing them to not appear. A better placed launch can also skip the battle with the Troll enemies in that area.
- There is a picture of Tree Rex on one of the houses.
- A ghost Wilikin girl lives in the Abandoned House. She emits eerie, echoing noises and follows Skylanders around.
- Wilikin Village was originally designed to have a Water Elemental Gate, but this was removed in the final game.[5]
- At one point in Giants's alpha development, Wilikin Village used a pink-orange sky for the Wilikin World. [6]
- A remnant of this early pink sky can be seen in the final game's settings menu, which contains a screenshot from Wilikin Village.
