Make your rivals say "Aw phooey"

A charged skill in Disney Speedstorm gives your character an advantage in the race. Items you hold are altered, bestowing them with new effects. For example, the flame item triggers an explosion around you instead of granting the usual blazing tires.

How to utilize a charged skill in Disney Speedstorm

Once you’ve picked up an item, using a charged skill is fairly easy. Instead of pressing the item button, hold it down instead. This will create an alternate effect around your Disney character, like Donald or Stitch.

Which charged skills can you use?

Charged skills add another element of strategy to your racing in Disney Speedstorm. For example, instead of one boost of speed with the turbo item, you’ll get three simultaneous mini-boosts instead.

The green shield that keeps you safe can be turned into a red shield with a charged skill, stunning foes that come into contact.

If you hold down the cloak (which turns you invisible), it will make you invisible and blast out red waves toward foes. The charged skills in Disney Speedstorm can truly step up your item game. Hopefully, your PC can run all the chaos on-screen.

Are there any other strategic advantages?

If you want to take your racing to the next level, you should remember to barge your opponents. It’s a dirty trick, but if you move the right analog stick to the left or the right, you can tackle your foes towards the wall. It’s a great thing to remember if you don’t have any items present on you.

There are also shortcuts you can find throughout each track. Be vigilant,
