How to unlock characters in Disney Speedstorm
A few characters can be unlocked in the early stages of the game by purchasing one of the Founder’s Packs. Mickey Mouse is unlocked from the start.
You’ll also unlock Donald Duck for free if you’ve purchased the Standard Founder’s Pack along with a bonus character of your choice from Baloo, Belle, the Beast, Elizabeth Swann, Shang, or Mowgli.
In addition, Mulan is unlocked in the Deluxe Founder’s Pack and Captain Jack Sparrow and Hercules are unlocked in the Ultimate Founder’s Pack.
If you want to unlock extra characters, you need to earn Shards. Each character requires you to unlock a certain number of Racer Shards to unlock them.
Racer Shards can be bought as rewards in the Golden Pass with Tokens earned from winning races and completing missions in Seasonal Events and Starter Circuit events. You can also win Shards in Season Boxes and Special Boxes, Disney Speedstorm’s equivalent to loot boxes.
Once you’ve saved up enough Shards, scroll to the Collections tab and select the character you want to unlock.
If you want to focus on one character, you can then spend extra Shards earned on upgrading your character’s stats to get an advantage over your competitors on the track.
