Disney Infinity Stands Out with Toy Box Mode

Disney Interactive has released the first video focused entirely on the Disney Infinity Toy Box mode, a play feature that allows every player to combine Disney and Pixar‘s most popular characters and worlds to create one-of-a-kind Disney experiences.

In the Toy Box mode, players can build their own adventures and worlds featuring hundreds of characters, vehicles, items, and environments, including Scrooge McDuck’s money pit, a Tron Recognizer, the Dumbo flying elephant ride, and Stitch’s Surfboard. Players can also use the logic editor to create any kind of game or experience, such as action adventures, obstacle courses, capture-the-flag, tower defense, car races—even re-create some of their favorite classic arcade games.
