Disney Racing Adventure

**Disney Racing Adventure** is a racing game developed by Disney Interactive Studios and published by Game Magic which was released on December 10, 2013 in North America on the Nintendo Wii, Nintendo Wii U, and Nintendo 3DS gaming systems. It is still uncertain whether the game will eventually be available on other consoles. It is rated E for Everyone and contains mild cartoon violence and comic mischief.

## Gameplay

Disney Racing Adventure is a kart racing game which bears similarities to the Mario Kart series. In the game, players choose from a variety of Disney film characters, and participate in wild races on tracks or courses inspired by Disney movies, competing against nine other racers. Items may be collected and used during the race in order to hinder your competitors' performance, or to advance your own position in the race. A special feature in the game allows players to fill up their **Magic Meter** as they race well and successfully avoid obstacles. Once it is full, a special power unique to each character may be unleashed, which has a detrimental effect on the rest of the racers. Every character also has an individualized taunt and attack that they do when they pass another character on the course. In addition, players can perform stunts and tricks in mid-air when coming off a ramp to gain a short turbo boost. Drifting along corners on the tracks produces turbo boosts as well.

## Playable Characters

Characters are categorized based upon their **Weight Type** (i.e. lightweight, middleweight, or heavyweight). **Lightweight** characters excel in Speed but Strength is compromised, meaning that they can be easily knocked off the track by racers of superior weight types. **Middleweight** characters are more balanced, scoring average points in both Speed and Strength. Meanwhile, **Heavyweight** characters have poor Speed but more than make up for it in Strength. An asterick denotes an unlockable character. There is a total of 62 playable characters.
