Disney Speedstorm throws you into a thrilling arcade racing experience alongside iconic Disney and Pixar characters. But do you know how to unlock the full potential of your racer’s special abilities? Here’s where Charged Skills come in!
What are Charged Skills in Disney Speedstorm?
Charged Skills offer a unique way to utilize your racer’s abilities (also known as Skills or Power-ups) in Disney Speedstorm. These special moves, obtained by driving through Arbee logos scattered throughout the track, can significantly impact your race. While the standard use of Skills is crucial, mastering Charged Skills elevates your gameplay.

How to Unleash the Charge
Using a Charged Skill is a simple yet strategic maneuver. Instead of tapping the corresponding button for your ability (Triangle on PlayStation, Y on Xbox, or Up arrow on keyboard), hold it down and then release. This unleashes the charged version of the Skill, often with a more potent effect.
Let’s explore some common Skills (excluding star-level specific ones) and how their charged forms transform their impact:
- Boost:Â The standard version provides a nitro boost, but charging it grants a much more powerful boost for that extra edge.
- Fire:Â Creates a fiery aura around your vehicle. In its charged form, it erupts into a fiery explosion, potentially damaging nearby opponents.
- Shot:Â Fires a spiky projectile that ricochets off surfaces. Charge it, and the projectile becomes guided, allowing for more precise targeting of opponents.
- Hack:Â A bouncing projectile that disrupts opponents. Charge it for a guided version that seeks out your rivals.
- Cloak:Â Become invisible for a short time with a tap. Hold and release to become invisible and shock nearby opponents when you reappear!
- Rush: Propels your vehicle forward in a jump.
- Bomb: Throws a bomb behind your vehicle. Holding the button throws it further.
- Shield:Â Protects your vehicle from a single hit. Charge it to emit a shockwave that stuns nearby opponents.
By mastering Charged Skills, you gain a tactical advantage in Disney Speedstorm. You can strategize when to unleash a powerful explosion with Fire, target opponents with a guided Shot, or shock them upon reappearing with a charged Cloak. Remember, mastering these charged effects can be the difference between winning and losing the race.
So, the next time you race through the vibrant worlds of Disney Speedstorm, remember to hold down that button and unleash the power of Charged Skills!
