Disney Speedstorm season 20 adds Super Karts and Xbox Game Pass perks
Super Karts gave Trickster racers a new build path, while top-speed buffs for Russell, Fozzie, Nick Wilde, Anxiety, and Kuzco reshaped the grind.
The biggest winners in Disney Speedstorm Season 20 were not the usual headline characters, but the racers tied to the patch’s new power curve. Super Karts arrived as a separate kart type for select Racers, and the first one targeted Trickster racers only. That matters because it added both Passive and Active Skills on top of the normal build, giving certain characters a new lane for optimization instead of a simple cosmetic swap. The Season 20 balance pass also lifted top speed for Russell, Fozzie, Nick Wilde, Anxiety, and Kuzco, while Flash’s passive-skill top speed penalty was reduced and Forky’s forward dash speed climbed at 5 and 6 Stars when a trash piece was destroyed. In a game where tiny stat changes can decide event consistency and online matchups, those buffs looked more relevant than the season theme.
Season 20, called Second Star Magic, launched on June 4 and leaned hard into Peter Pan energy. Gameloft tied the update to the game’s regular seasonal rhythm, with new seasons arriving roughly every two months since the free-to-play launch in September 2023. At that point, the roster had reached 75 Racers, and the season kept that momentum going with a stronger identity around progression and specialization rather than just more names on the selection screen. Super Karts required Racer Star 3 or higher, used their own shards, and upgraded to 3 Stars with Bolt Coins instead of Star Fragments, with each upgrade adding a full Star. Only one Super Kart was planned for Season 20, but more were already lined up for future seasons.
The rest of the patch widened the reward chase. Xbox Game Pass perks were folded in for all subscriber tiers, with Xbox saying eligible plans could unlock in-game benefits through the Benefits Hub. Season 20’s Adventure Road featured Toy Story and Pirates of the Caribbean collections, while Mater and Mabel became available through Racer Boost. The Supercharge group also expanded with Anna, Ursula, Steamboat Mickey, Barbossa, Angel, Anger, and Mowgli. On the seasonal event side, tournaments and Vault Passes centered on Winnie the Pooh, with Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, and Eeyore set as tournament racers.
Season 20 also landed with practical fixes, including repairs for Deluxe Kart license plates, Rapunzel’s kart movement during her unique skill, and Beast’s Sterling Legacy suit visibility on some PlayStation users. Coming right after Season 19’s star-based Racer Progression overhaul and Season 18’s Ranked and Grand Prix systems, Second Star Magic looked less like a routine content drop and more like another step in a larger rewrite of who climbs, who stalls, and which racers are worth investing in now.
