The Sidekicks are miniature versions of Skylanders who appear in theSkylanders series, obtained only in promotions of Frito-Lay. When activated, they follow the Skylanders around.
In the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC version of Skylanders: Spyro's Adventure, the background for each Sidekick is the same as adding a Magic Skylander, or Magic Item onto the Portal of Power. However, in Skylanders: Giants, the backgrounds become much different based on their specific elements in every version.
When you put them on the portal, they'll appear and say their Skylander counterparts' catchphrases in a chipmunk voice.
Currently, both Air and Fire elements have no sidekicks.
Both Water and Life elements each have two sidekicks.
Mini Jini and Whisper Elf are currently the only female sidekicks.
Barkley is the the only Sidekick to not have their name be a pun on their Skylander's name.
