It becomes clear early on inDisney Speedstormthat coming first in races won’t always be easy. The computer-controlled racers are surprisingly competent even on easier settings, and players will need to use every advantage they can if they don’t want toget beat by Mickey Mouse in a racing game. Sometimes the beginning of a race is the most important part, and players can start races off right by getting a huge burst of speed if they complete a short minigame. Once the race starts, understanding how to fill the boost gauge and when to use the manual boost is also very important.
Disney’s take on the kart-racing genre is full of recognizable characters, places, and music remixed just enough to make it feel new.Disney Speedstormplayers can compete in competitive multiplayer, play local games, or race in circuits through the game’s story mode. Regardless of which mode players are taking on, understanding the starting boost and boost gauge can be very helpful.

How to Get a Starting Boost in Disney Speedstorm
At the start of every race inDisney Speedstorm, players are given a chance to get a massive speed burst. This is similar to howother racing gameslet players get a burst of speed if they start holding the acceleration button early, but requires a bit more finesse. InDisney Speedstorm, players can hold the acceleration button to fill up the meter as shown above. If players have the meter in the green zone when the timer finishes counting down, they will fly ahead of the competition. There’s a darker green spot that is smaller which grants an even greater boost.
How to Fill the Boost Gauge in Disney Speedstorm
Now that players are fully in the race, they need to manage their boost gauge. There are five main ways to fill the Boost Gauge, those being drifting, the boost skill, hitting opponents with offensive skills, boost pads, and slipstreaming.
Players would do well to keep an eye on the boost gauge and be sure to use it whenever it is full, as this is one of the best ways to catch up with opponents or to stay in the lead.Every character inDisney Speedstorm’s starting rostercan benefit from this.
Disney Speedstormis in early access now on PC, PS4, PS5, Switch, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
