Disney Infinity

Game Overview

Disney Infinity introduces a groundbreaking crossover sandbox platform to the Nintendo Wii U, blending physical toys with creative digital gameplay. The game revolves around placing physical character figures onto the USB-connected Disney Infinity Base, instantly transferring those characters into the virtual world.

Gameplay is divided into two primary modes: Play Sets and the Toy Box. Play Sets serve as self-contained action-adventure games dedicated to specific franchises—such as Monsters University, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Incredibles, Cars, and The Lone Ranger. Each Play Set offers unique world mechanics, open-world missions, combat encounters, and vehicles faithful to its source movie.

The Toy Box mode serves as an open-world creation suite where all Disney and Pixar properties collide without restrictions. Players can build custom cities, construct racing tracks, design platforming obstacle courses, and program mini-games using unlocked items, vehicles, and gadgets. On the Wii U, the GamePad screen enhances Toy Box creation by providing intuitive touchscreen tools for placing terrain, organizing inventory, and editing game rules on the fly.
