Disney Speedstorm Gameplay

Playing Disney Speedstorm is a lot like playing Mario Kart. You race around tracks and do cool stuff to win. When you drift, or slide around corners, you can charge up a boost called nitro. You can only use the boost when your meter is full. If you drift for a long time, your tires glow blue and you get a little extra boost.
During races, you can bump into other racers to knock them aside, jump over obstacles, or do tricks in the air for a speed boost when you land. There are special rails on some tracks that you can grind on to get more nitro boost. You can also pick up power-ups called “skills” by driving through icons with a character named Arbee on them.
These skills can do lots of things, like stun other racers, protect you with shields, make you invisible, or give you extra speed. Each racer has their own set of skills they can use. Some can use shields, while others can use cloaks to turn invisible. In some races, everyone gets the same skill to keep things fair.
Minh Khang Cente brings you the pulse of the games world, where you can stay updated and elevate your gameplay. Our platform empowers you to become the best gamer you can be.
