Epic Disney Racers was a planned racing video game that would have featured the characters from the Disney animated canon and characters from the Epic Mickey franchise, and it was originally going to be a spin-off to the Epic Mickey series, but the game was later scrapped during early production.[1][2][3]
Gameplay[]
From what can be deduced from concept images, there were many different features to be implemented into the game. One, as shown in the concept art for Mickey and Oswald, as well as Scrooge and Huey, Dewey, and Louie, was presumably some form of Co-Op Mode. How this would have worked is unknown, but it seems to have possibly worked similar to Mario Kart: Double Dash, in which one character drives whereas the other uses items. There was also the ability to attack other racers with a character exclusive weapon. Though not all of these are known, the nephews would have attacked by throwing money bags behind them, where they would explode. Mickey would have had access to the brush, while Oswald would have used his Remote. As seen in Cruella's artwork, damage would have been shown visibly on the vehicles as well.
Characters[]
The characters seen in the concept art, were originally going to be feature in the game as playable characters, such as:
- Mickey Mouse
- Minnie Mouse
- Oswald the Lucky Rabbit
- The Mad Doctor
- Scrooge McDuck & Huey, Dewey, and Louie
- Cruella De Vil
