CARS PLAYSET: INVITATIONAL RACE SKIP

IF YOU JUMP OUT OF THE COURSE SOMEWHAT AFTER THE FIRST SIGN BEFORE YOU REACH THE PART WHERE YOU RACE ON THE "NEW TRACK" BACKWARDS, WITH ENOUGH SPEED, YOU CAN RESPAWN LATER ON THE TRACK AND SKIP SOME OF IT. HOWEVER, I DON'T KNOW IF IT'S LEGAL OR NOT (FOR SPEEDRUNING), BUT I'VE STILL FOUND IT. VIDEO URL: https://youtu.be/7Lu3vvxxKKc?si=5RcwQMmRlRJmBS71 (SKIP STARTS AT 1:29 OR 3:00)

CARS PLAYSET: USELESS MONSTER TRUCK GLITCH

I DON'T KNOW IF THIS IS GOING TO HELP IN SPEEDRUNS BUT IT'S KINDA INTERESTING, BECAUSE I WANTED TO DISCOVER IF MONSTER TRUCK IS USEFUL IN CARS PLAYSET AND IT'S I DON'T KNOW BUT BASICALLY IF YOU JUST SPAM A OR D AND SHIFT (OR PROBABLY RIGHT STICK ON THE CONTROLLER) WHILE BEING A MONSTER TRUCK THEN AFTER SOME TIME YOU WILL GET STUCK IN THE GROUND LIKE IN THIS VIDEO: https://youtu.be/ov9LZ-iwnTY?si=D_1l4Fy91dTjNuL7 (START FROM 0:04 OR 0:45)

OR IN OTHER CASES YOU WILL DO SOMETHING SIMILAR TO SPEEDBASHING IN CARS 3: DTW LIKE IN THIS VIDEO: https://youtu.be/tC-ymd1TSqY?si=73d2ox129em9Iuoy (START FROM 0:55 (NOTE: SOMETIMES YOU WILL ALSO FLY INTO THE SKY BUT IT CAN ALSO BE DONE WHILE BEING A CAR))

Disney Infinity 1.0 Lone Ranger Guide

Quick tips for the Lone Ranger play set. First I have to say that even though both of the characters are the same in movement speed, Tonto felt a bit faster because Tonto's attacks take less time to eliminate enemies. At least that's what I felt like when I did attempts using both characters. One thing is sure though. Tonto's text boxes are shorter so you can save couple seconds when ever there is a text box for your character. So I suggest using Tonto.

The train is the one element in the run that can mess up your run very easily. So it's very important to optimize your route on this run and how you work with the train. The best advice is to making sure the train is as much on the move as possible and then optimizing the spots on where the train must be at what point of the run by using the rail route changers and the train stops. Also another important thing is to making sure the train is always filled with water, cattle etc. so that when you activate certain missions, they will go much quicker and in some cases almost immediately if your routing has been perfect. And adding to that, make sure you have multiple missions active at the same time so that you get missions done more fluently.

It is also good to know that you can move and interact while some cutscenes are playing. It's not every cutscene but couple. For example you can move while the cutscene for the train comes or when you open up a new bridge. 

Also try to do as much as you can when ever you are waiting for the train. One of these spots is to unlock the path to the Gatling gun when waiting for the train or collecting a lot of coins at the start of the run while the train goes around the town.

Then I found a weird glitch right before the final boss. When you talk to the sheriff and he tells you to load up TNT and bust the silver mine opening, if you have filled the TNT or have the TNT ready for the train before the text box, the train doesn't pick up the TNT and just goes past the silver mine opening. So you must go and get the TNT ready for the train. Maybe it is just a glitch and it won't happen to everyone but for me it happened couple times until I started to always go and get the TNT ready for the train.

Also adding to the previous glitch, there is also a second very annoying glitch on this part. The train sometimes goes through the silver mine opening and won't break the barrier that blocks you from entering that area. Solution to this is to jump in between the two train cars and then you will be pushed through the barrier.

And lastly just optimizing the way how and when you do each mission is of course important. There is a lot of traveling in this play set so doing more than one mission at a time is important.

Disney Infinity 1.0 Playset Movement Optimization

Okay, so I noticed that nobody has been speedrunning the play sets from 1.0 (Monster's University, Incredibles, Cars, Lone Ranger, Pirates, or Toy Story), so I have decided to fix that by helping out with giving you the best way to optimize your movement. Now, for Incredibles, obviously you can use Dash to go fast for the most part, but for the other playsets and/or characters, how do you move optimally? The answer is: dodging. A lot. Granted, only with certain characters, but let me explain. So, some characters (i.e. Dash, Mike, Randy, Jack Sparrow, Woody, and Jessie to name a few) can move faster 90% of the time if you are dodging with them (and believe me NOBODY wants to see a lot of the slow running in the game). However, certain other characters cannot go faster if dodging, unfortunately (i.e. Mrs. Incredible and Violet to name a couple). Then there are certain characters that only get a slight boost from dodging a lot (i.e. Mr. Incredible, Syndrome, Sulley, Buzz, Lone Ranger, and Tonto to name a few). So basically the main characters I know you shouldn't use (at least a lot) are Mrs. Incredible and Violet. And that's how to move optimally in play sets. (EXCEPTION: I mentioned how Dash can 90% of the time move faster with dodging, but once you can unlock his running ability, you don't need to dodge with Dash anymore, you can just run (or use the hover board or helicopter when you purchase them).)

Disney Infinity 1.0 Playset Movement Optimization Pt. 2 WHERE'S CARS?

Okay, so that was all the playsets in 1.0... except Cars. But the problem is that there's not really much to say about the Cars characters and how to optimally move with them. They all control the same, have the same hit box, and they each get turbo, so it really doesn't matter what character you pick. All I can say is unlock all bars of turbo as fast as you can so you can go as fast as possible all while still being able to store turbo a lot more. I guess one thing I could say is to try to hit as few walls as possible, as the physics in the game like to make you lose control the moment you hit a wall way too hard. Another thing to say is that unlike Cars 2 where the Spin trick got you more turbo, it is now a 360 spin, so it doesn't really matter what kind of trick you do. But I would honestly still go with the spin as it is the safest to land, so it is better. And that's really all I have to say about the Cars playset.

Disney Infinty 1.0 Optimal Movement UPDATE

Okay, so I've done a lot of searching and will proceed to continue doing a bit more research until I get every character for this list, but here's the characters that have the fastest dodge (and shoulder charge for some) in the game and as such are fastest at movement:

Pirates - Jack Sparrow
MU - Mike
Incredibles - Dash (plus his run ability)
Cars - doesn't matter (they all handle and feel the same)
Lone Ranger - undecided
TSiS - Woody or Jessie

To update the guide a little bit more on movement besides Cars, I wanted to talk about how if the character doesn't have a shoulder charge, then jump after doing two dodges, that way you have less ending lag from the dodges.

Pirates of the Carribean play set glitches and how to avoid them

Pirates of the Carribean play set is the most buggiest play set to speedrun and there are multiple glitches that can ruin a run. These glitches on this guide are all ones that I've come across while doing attempts. That's why there might be more glitches that I don't know and that's why they might not be on this guide.

1. Game glitches your pistol and it won't work anymore. It usually show something weird on the right hand of your character like a sword or a lamp.

Solve: Change character.

2. When you go out to the sea for the first time you need to destroy the rocks blocking your path before getting out from the starting island. This point is where you will get the ship tutorial. Some times on this part the tutorial never appears or your ship won't stop and will just go forward while you are supposed to do the tutorial. This usually ruin your run and you lose to much time.

Solve: Don't press anything and let the game play the cutscene until the game tell you to do something.

3. Super rare glitch but still happened to me couple times. When you hop of from the rowing boat to the pier your character will get stuck to the pier when ever you try to attack with your sword or try to dive. This will happen even if you are far away from the pier. The game will just warp you back to the pier and sometimes the camera freaks out when the glitch happens.

Solve: Jump to the water to spawn back and this glitch is suddenly gone. Also changing character may help but I never tried it.

4. In the island where Tia Dalma is, there is a Kraken Bane piece that you will need to get. This piece is in the temple ruins. When you get to the temple ruins and have turned all of the statue pieces the right way you will be able to climb the statue and get to the piece. On this spot sometimes your character will get stuck on the second last ledge before getting on top of the statue. It almost feels like the game softlocks because you character doesn't want to move left even if you try.

Solve: Press down and left at the same time or try to wiggle to every direction. Also dropping down to the lower ledge and then jumping again to the ledge might fix the glitch.

5. On the island where Pintel and Ragetti are at, you will get the bomb and get to a spot where you are supposed to use cog's to move forward on the island. On the last area before getting out from the island you will fight Maccus. When you open this areas door and go through it while it is still opening, the game will sometimes glitch and Maccus doesn't show up and the game basically softlocks.

Solve: Don't go through the door until the cutscene for Maccus appears.

6. When going to the last battle against Maccus your supposed to destroy the barriers on the path to the bell tower where Maccus is. Almost always when you destroy the barriers the game doesn't recognize that you have destroyed anything and it wont let you move forward.

Solve: Try to destroy them from as far as possible and ones you get to the spot where the barrier was, you will get pass it. Another way is to go from the side or do the triple jump glitch. But most of the time you will have to just wait until the game finally recognizes that the barrier has been destroyed. This usually takes about 5 seconds.

7. Adding to the previous glitch this same spot can also softlock you if you aren't careful. On the second barrier don't try to bypass it from the right side because you will almost always get stuck behind another barrier that isn't breakable and if this happens the game softlocks and you will need to load the game again.

8. When you use the Kraken's Bane on the final battle, sometimes it will not work and the Kraken will still try to attack you.

Solve: Always look at the Kraken to be sure that the Kraken's Bane works.



Extra: These glitches happened to me only ones or twice and I have no clue on what caused them and how to avoid them

1. When I bought new upgrades for the ship I bought them while going to the ship to save time. So basically I was still on land. Then the game delivers the thing that I bought to the delivery spot on land but I was already almost on the ship so I went to the ship because it should also be delivered on the ship. Well when I got to the ship the delivery was not on the ship. But the weird thing about this was that I had previously done this same thing and that time the delivery was also on the ship.

2. When going to the Voodoo Cannon fight your supposed to get the cutscene where Tia Dalma is on top of the rock. One time I did not get the cutscene and I just sailed to the area but nothing happened. This has only happened to me ones and I have zero clue on what caused it and why I never got this glitch again.
