Disney Planes

Game Overview

Disney Planes brings accessible aerial action and family-friendly flight controls to the Nintendo Wii U. Picking up where the animated film leaves off, the narrative follows Dusty and his international crew of flyer friends as they embark on new global flight adventures, competing in races, performing emergency rescues, and completing skill challenges.

Gameplay centers on smooth, arcade-style flight physics designed for players of all ages. Pilots navigate expansive open-sky environments—from Propwash Junction to international racing venues—while executing barrel rolls, loop-de-loops, and high-speed maneuvers. The campaign offers 10 playable characters, each with unique flight stats, alongside multiple game modes including Air Rallies, Story Missions, Balloon Pop, and Free Flight.

On the Nintendo Wii U, the game supports smooth tilt and analog flight controls using the Wii U GamePad. The controller’s touchscreen functions as an interactive flight navigation system, showing real-time radar maps and mission waypoints. Supporting local two-player cooperative play, friends can join forces at any time to complete missions together.
