This is like the Portal of Power from Skylanders in that it is where you set the figurines to import them into your game. But the similarities really end there. The Portal in Skylanders allows you to use two figurines at once (and a mini, if you got one of those while they were around) while playing the game. The Infinity base uses a three-zone system. Two zones are where you can place two figurines to import into the game. Then there is the hexagonal spot for world discs, which let you unlock different worlds to play in. Then the final zone is where you can place up to four power discs that will import power-ups and vehicles and such into the game as well.
