 * Villains are able to build robots at the Villain HQ, located in the sewer under the Cove Harbor, by following the Secret Tunnel, to attack the city. These robots are controlled by Protobot and The Mandarin. This further proves that this party is mainly about Iron Man 3, because The Mandarin is the main villain in the film.

 * At the Beach, Dock, Snow Forts, and Forest, Power Crystals are lying around, which will give the Super Heroes and Super Villains powers, similar to how the Purple Super Hero Meteorite gave them powers last year.
