Disney Planes is based on the 2013 animated movie of the same name. This handheld version has gameplay similar to the PC / Wii (U) release, but is not identical. Players get to experience the game world using six characters and six environments (four less for each compared to the other version), but it does have full voice acting. Each character has different statistics based on boost, power, speed and technique. The game contains four game modes, but not the multiplayer portion of the other release. The included game modes are: Balloon, Challenge, Race and Story.
