Provides examples of:
- Breaking Old Trends: This was meant to be the first Disney and Pixar game developed by Gameloft for consoles, as all of their past output has been for mobile games, although the Early Access release of Disney Dreamlight Valley in September 2022 negated this.

- Go-Karting with Bowser: Randall, one of the villains from Monsters, Inc., is playable alongside the good guys.
- Jungle Japes: The reveal trailer and pre-release screenshots depict a jungle-themed track based on The Jungle Book.
