Jump Links

Disney’s latest video game, Disney Speedstorm, is a high-speed kart racer featuring a range of some of the company’s biggest characters. You can head on to the tracks solo, on a local network with friends, or in an online multiplayer mode for casual or ranked games - so there are lots of places to develop your racing skills.

Each racer in the game has a normal and charged unique ability that can give them an advantage when activated during a race. In this guide, we look at the abilities of all 18 of the current characters in the game and explain what they do.

The game is currently in Early Access, and these abilities are subject to change upon release.

Mickey Mouse - Trailblazer

The normal version of the ability activates a musical trail behind Mickey that provides a speed boost for the player but also a boost for other racers that touch the trail.

The charged ability does a similar thing to the normal one but also provides invulnerability to players too. When the trail is activated in the charged mode, Mickey will become invulnerable with a speed boost, as well as any other players who drive into this trail.

Star Rating	Ability Duration (Normal)	Ability Duration (Charged)
Two Stars	A very short speed boost.	A very short speed boost and invulnerability period.

Activating this ability in its normal state will surround you with a green bubble that acts as a protective barrier. If you are hit whilst this bubble is up, Donald will become angry - gaining a speed boost and the ability to stun any other racers that you touch during this time.

In the charged mode, the protective barrier is removed, and Donald goes straight into being angry. You will still get the same speed boost and ability to stun other racers as you do in this state in the normal mode.

This ability in normal mode gives you a speed boost but makes you lose control of your kart for a short duration. However, when you have lost control, any other racers you may hit in this state will be stunned, giving you an advantage.

In the charged mode, Goofy will throw a fuel canister out of the back of the kart, and when this explodes, all racers in the area will be stunned. To avoid being stunned after the canister is dropped, you will be propelled forward a set distance ahead of other racers.

For the normal version of this ability, Beast will let out a roar that stuns any other racers in front of you.

Whereas with the charged ability, you will leap forward in your kart to try and get ahead of other racers on the track.

If both the normal and charged abilities are used three times in a race, Beast will enter Rage Mode. When in Rage Mode, every skill box available to be picked up in the race will grant Beast the Enchanted Rose ability again.

The normal version of this ability involves Hercules summoning Pegasus - creating a trail behind your kart. Racers who drive in this trail will be given a speed boost, and invulnerability for a short period.

When this ability is charged, Pegasus’ trail is not as kind to other racers. The trail will give you a speed boost, but any racers who touch the trail will be stunned.

Activating this ability in normal mode will give you the opportunity to throw a wooden staff forward before it is returned to you. Anyone who gets hit with this staff, going out or returning to Shang, will be stunned.

The charged ability works by Shang quickly spinning the staff above the kart to create a protective barrier. Any racer who is hit by the staff whilst it is spinning will be stunned.
