Gameplay
Disney Speedstorm is a free-to-play kart racing game with a roster composed of characters from various Disney properties, such as the Mickey and Friends, Pirates of the Caribbean, Monsters, Inc., Toy Story and Beauty and the Beast franchises, among others, reimagined as race car drivers in an in-universe arcade game also called Disney Speedstorm.The gameplay is similar to Mario Kart. Racers can drift to improve their cornering and charge their nitro boost, which can only be used when the boost meter full. Racers also get a small drift boost from long drifts, which also gives them an extra boost charge. Racers can sideswipe other Racers to knock them aside, jump to reach higher grounds or dodge obstacles, perform aerial stunts off designated jumps for a small speed boost upon landing, and grind on designated blue rails to also gain nitro boost.
Racers can also pick up various power-ups, called "skills", by driving through sprites with the image of Arbee, the game's emotive AI mascot, on them. These skills include offensive weapons that stun Racers, shields that protect Racers from stuns, cloaks that make Racers intangible and invisible, nitro boost charges, rushes that provide sudden bursts of speed, and hacks that flip a Racer's screen, potentially confusing them. Skills can also be "charged" to cause different effects; for example, a charged shield allows a Racer to stun another Racer who drives into them, at the cost of not being protected from being stunned unless a normal shield, a cloak, or an invulnerability effect is already in effect. Offensive skills and hacks can also be used backwards behind Racers. The availability of the various skills depends on the Racer ; for example, some Racers can receive and use shields while others can receive and use cloaks. Finally, each Racer has a unique skill that provide benefits to only that Racer, with each unique skill having normal and charged variants.
Each Racer has a range of stats that affect their performance, including top speed, acceleration, handling, boost, and combat. The stats can be upgraded by levelling up Racers, which during the game's first six seasons of content updates, required spending various "upgrade parts" collected from single-player event races and PvP multiplayer, which were later replaced with a single currency called "upgrade coins" from the seventh season onwards. However, Racer upgrade levels are capped to certain levels depending on their star levels, which require collecting "Racer shards". Further stat boosts and other enhancements are provided by attaching "Crew Members" to a Racer, which feature images of various minor Disney characters on them. The Crew Members can only be applied to Racers of the same affiliated collections as them, such as the Orange Bird serving as a Crew Member for Figment; with "Epic" rarity Crew Members being applicable to only one Racer.
Game modes
The game includes various different single-player and multiplayer modes. Single-player modes include "Starter Circuit", a series of events that effectively serves as the game's "tutorial", limited events, which offer rewards for completing specific objectives or for getting a fast time on a leaderboard compared with other players online, "Season Tour", a limited-time campaign mode that changes each new content season, and "Tournaments", in which players race as a single Racer from either the Mickey and Friends franchise or a franchise that was featured in a previous season for a series of four races to earn points. Multiplayer includes ranked multiplayer, where players race to earn points to unlock tiers of rewards for each of their unlocked Racers, regulated multiplayer, a separate ranked multiplayer that puts all Racers at the same performance levels, "Private Track", which allows players to set up their own custom races online with friends or invited players, and "Local Freeplay", the game's only offline mode, which features custom races for one to four players in split-screen multiplayer. Ranked multiplayer can either be played either solo or in a team in a three-on-three race.The races themselves are available in different types that feature different gimmicks: "Classic" is a traditional race; "Single Skill" forces all Racers to use the same offensive skill; "Floating Objects" have speed boosts and skill items floating above the ground, thus forcing Racers to jump to reach them; "Fog Challenge" covers the track in a dense fog—limiting visibility—and removes the minimap from the player's heads-up display; and "Last One Standing" is an elimination race where after a short amount of time passes, the last place Racer either loses a "shield drone" and is teleported ahead on the track to try to avoid falling back to last or is eliminated if they have no more drones remaining. In the season two update in June 2023, the game added two new race types called "Color Match" and "Follow the Leader"; the former type forces players to pick up power-up items corresponding to one of two colors—green and purple—each of them is assigned to as indicated by the HUD and an underglow effect beneath their vehicle, switching between colors during the race, while the latter adds a long slipstream trail behind the race leader that provides a speed boost to the racers following the trail.
Characters and environments
As of August 2025, the game has a total of "Racers" from 31 Disney media franchises. Many franchises also have an affiliated track environment, each featuring multiple track layouts, with Mickey Mouse & Friends having two, while Disney Speedstorm itself has two original environments, "Arbee's Arena" and "Arbee's Short Circuit". Additionally, one environment, the Pirates of the Caribbean-inspired "A Pirate's Life", received an expansion via an update for the game's ninth season, adding new areas of the map and new track layouts.The game also features a wide voice cast, most of whom reprise their respective characters from their original works. Beginning with Season 7: Sugar Rush, however, only selected new Racers will receive voice lines, with some unvoiced racers getting voice lines later on. However, Season 11 have all new Racers getting voice lines with the aforementioned Mr. Incredible getting them during the third part.
