Play as Mufasa from the Lion King set and get trampled by a herd of wildebeest to unlock this mean ol' lion.

Just get struck by lighting twice during a run and you'll grab this lion for your roster. You'll need to play as a Jungle Book character to get Adult Nala. If you manage this you'll unlock the character. What this means is you should stand behind the rock when the stampeding animals come through, then quickly switch to the other side of the rock for when they come from the other direction. To get Mufasa you need to play as Simba and spend 12 seconds near stampedes. This hidden character can be unlocked by playing as Hookhand in the Tangled theme, and playing the piano (the brown instrument that shows up on the track) 10 times. Do this 25 times, across multiple runs, to grab Ezra Beane. Next Buzz Lightyear unlocks a toy world, and so on as I realize every film has its own environment to navigate.īetter still, characters unlock at a good rate with only 100 coins needed to get a new one and coins regularly gifted to you… though of course you can pay if you are inpatient or really want a specific character.Play as Phineas Plump and get an armour to chase you - then hop away to stay alive. My second character is Rapunzel from Entangled, and suddenly the world is completely changed into knights and other medieval items.

It is only when I start unlocking more characters that I realize the variety Disney Crossy Road injects. Starting with Mickey Mouse himself, I am treated to the typical road crossing gameplay: trying to hop through busy traffic, work my way around trees, and using logs to cross rivers. Bringing in Disney stars from all manner of movies, each one is a beautifully blocky representation of a familiar face. Where Disney Crossy Road does mix things is with its characters. It is a look now seen often, but the first game took it to a new level and popularized it in a way few games before it had. Simple, and a perfect modern take on Atari’s classic arcade game Frogger.ĭisney Crossy Road keeps the original’s isometric blocky style that gives the feel of playing with models made from LEGO.
