“Gusts and Glory!”

– Gusto's official catchphrase

Gusto is a large humanoid Trap Master of the Air element in Skylanders: Trap Team. He is included in the Nintendo 3DS version's Starter Pack and a single pack.

Background

Personality

Gusto is a big guy with heart of gold. Not actual gold, of course, but Gusto's heart is just as precious.

Biography

Gusto was once a cloud wrangler in the peaceful Thunderclap Kingdom, where he learned to master the wind under the guidance of the mysterious Cloud Dragon. But a day came when a fleet of dragon hunters appeared on the horizon, seeking to capture the fabled creature. Despite the danger, Gusto stepped forward to defend it. The hunters could see that Gusto was not a soldier and didn’t even have a real weapon – just a "curved stick." However, he was no coward! And, throwing his large boomerang, Gusto hit his surprised opponents again and again – until the hunters surrendered and were forced to retreat. For standing up for himself and protecting the Cloud Dragon, Gusto was given a new Traptanium Boomerang and made part of the Trap Team!

Story

Light in the Dark

Gusto was one of the Skylanders lead by Gearshift in the fight against Pain-Yatta's army of candy warriors. He and several other Skylanders fought a group of Candy Soldiers to save three Mabu before retreating into an old castle fortress to hold out when the army began to grow in numbers.

As they were cornered by the candy army within the fortress, Gusto and the other Skylanders served as Skylands' last line of defense, battling Pain-Yatta's army with all of their might. The candy army soon fell to pieces just as the Skylanders were becoming overwhelmed (thanks to the actions of the Light and Dark Skylanders in their fight against Pain-Yatta), earning the heroes their victory.

Gameplay

Mastering the wind, Gusto can throw his Traptanium boomerang with great force, which, of course, comes right back. He can charge his boomerang up, which adds electricity to the impact. Gusto can suck in enormous amounts of air, taking in his enemies as well, and blow it back out in a powerful gust that damages foes in the process.

Trivia

• His catchphrase is a pun on the saying “Guts and glory".
• He, Dino-Rang and Bone Bash Roller Brawl are the only Skylanders to wield boomerangs.
• His name is a Spanish word that means "taste", which could refer to his ability to swallow enemies and to spit them out.
  • In addition to this, he is similar to the Nintendo character, Kirby, since they are both able to swallow and eat their enemies.
    • He's one of the playable characters that can eat their enemies, the others are Wrecking Ball, Thumpback, Thumpling, Slobber Tooth, and The Gulper.
• Gusto, Smolderdash and Trigger Happy all have the word "glory" in their catchphrase.
• One of his upgrades "The Breath of Life" is named after a song.
  • Another one of his upgrades, "Rang Me Like a Hurricane" is a pun on the song ("Rock You Like a Hurricane" by Scorpions).
• In Ring of Heroes, Gusto is already equipped with his spiked boomerang from the Air Ace path.
• When Gusto inhales mage enemies (such as Bad Jujus and Rage Mages), the mages' effects will remain active. For example, Bad Jujus' cyclones will keep swirling, and Rage Mages' power balls will hang in the air.
  • Oddly, if a Rage Mage is killed while inside Gusto's belly, its diamond will drop sideways and grow to double its usual size.
