disneys answer to mario kart has added a classic character but we cant help but feel like somethings offon april 18 disney announced that mickey from the classic steamboat willie cartoon would be joining disney speedstorm in season 2 as you can see from the tweet below the 2d monochrome character has been given a modernday makeover so that he fits right in with the other 3d racers in the game the only problem is he looks so solid and pointy not at all like the lively cartoon were used to seeing d23 exclusive reveal racer steamboat mickey speedstormgame sees a new racer whistle onto the track this summer learn more about how you can hit the tracks now pictwittercomjtn7haua7fapril 18 2023see moretheres a number of other 2d characters that have been through the same process to be added to the racing game such as mulan hercules and belle but theres something particularly jarring about this version of mickey maybe it would make more sense to us if he was sailing a steamboat around the race track insteadthis technically isnt the first time steamboat willie has been animated in 3d kingdom hearts fans will already know that the character makes an appearance in kingdom hearts 2 in the timeless river world its not just mickey either donald goofy and even pete take on their classic disney appearances when in this world perhaps the main reason this mickey is throwing us off is the racing outfit as its quite different from the outfit were used to seeing him in disney speedstorm was announced last summer and just like mario kart 8 sees players race along themed courses as a range of different disney characters some of which can be played right away and others need to be unlocked the game was actually only released yesterday april 18 via early access meaning itll continue to be adapted and improved by developer gameloft as time goes onlooking for something else to play take a look at our best racing games list
