Gameplay
Gameplay
Up to four friends can connect through local multiplayer and play through 6 different worlds to defeat enemies, and collect powerups and coins. One unique feature is that the enemies actively try to hinder a player's progress by setting up traps or hiding key items. The two main attractions of the game are the levels and the costumes. Players travel to 6 worlds from classic and contemporary Disney and Pixar properties, consisting of Alice in Wonderland, Pirates of the Caribbean, The Lion King, WALL-E, Monsters, Inc., and Aladdin. The travellers can acquire 45 costumes based on numerous other Disney franchises, such as The Little Mermaid, Tron, Mickey Mouse, Lilo & Stitch and Finding Nemo.

The costumes need to be upgraded by finding stars in the levels. The skill set remains the same for each, but becomes more powerful. Each character has a handheld weapon specific to that character.

Reception
The game received mixed reviews on all of its released platforms. Where it is praised, there are the same negatives. When writing for the Disney Universe experience, Druanne Miyamoto video game reviewer journalist for Metacritic describes the game as an excited detailed game "(...) players will never get bored exploring the Disney Universe." and although it's not exactly alike to the films they represent it still provides the player with a sense of "freshness". For the WIRED review, Michael Venables complains about how the environment seems "watered down" and how its "Disneyness" is taken away from the characters designs. Just as well he connected the game's similarities to that of the Lego video games series' following the same game mechanics.
