Template:Infobox Video GameDisney Infinity is an action-adventure sandbox game for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Wii, Wii U, Nintendo 3DS, PC, and iPad. It is the first game in the Disney Infinity series, and the predecessor to Disney Infinity: 2.0 Edition. The game brings several different Disney series together, such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Cars and Monsters University. The main gimmick of the game is that it uses figurines that store character data, similarly to Activision's Skylanders and Nintendo's amiibo.
Gameplay
The game has the player place their Disney Infinity figures onto the circular spots of the Disney Infinity base to jump into the game and come alive in a fully animated interactive world. With the exception of non-humanoid characters such as those from the Cars series, each character has a double jump and a default set of attacks, as well as an ability unique to each figure.
Play Sets
Play Set mode has Disney Infinity play sets of films which are accessed via placing the relevant play set piece onto the hexagonal spot of the Infinity Base. Some examples include Pirates of the Caribbean, Monsters University, The Incredibles, Cars, The Lone Ranger and Toy Story in Space. These play sets have their own unique campaign, which can be played with up to two players. The player takes control of characters, and plays as them in original adventures in different worlds. In these worlds, the player battles enemies, solves puzzles, overcomes obstacles and completes a variety of other unique quests. Each play set is essentially a self-contained world, based on a specific movie or series with recognizable characters, gameplays and storylines. Characters from one world cannot enter into another world, meaning two figures from the same series are required to play a play-set in split-screen multiplayer. Playing through the play sets unlocks objects and vehicles that can be used in the Toy Box Mode.
Mission Log
The Mission Log is available in every play set, accessed by opening up the "play set" menu. A log of completed and current missions is found here, along with a button allowing players to track down new missions, which are given by cast members. Additionally, a list of gold stars can be seen, displaying both completed and incompleted ones.
Toy Store
The Toy Store is also available in each of the six play sets, accessed at the "play set" menu. A full list of toys from the corresponding play set is displayed, with unlocked toys being available for purchase, while locked toys are darker and not able to be bought. In order to unlock the toys to purchase here, the player must complete missions, gold stars and other tasks throughout the play set. Once purchased, most toys will also be unlocked for use in the Toy Box, though there some that can't, such as the bikes from the Monsters University Play Set.
Toy Box
Toy Box mode allows the player to create their own world and stories, similar to Toy Box mode in Toy Story 3: The Video Game. It also allows the player to mix and match everything that is unlocked within the play sets including characters, weapons and gadgets. There are various "adventures" in this mode, which help teach the player how to use the mode's tools. Players can also earn "spins", which can be used to unlock additional items in the Toy Box, by playing through play sets as well as the "adventures" for the first time, or leveling up their characters. The mode supports online multiplayer, in which players can play around with items that only the other player has, albeit only during that session.
A portable Toy Box became available in late 2013, exclusively for the iPad. A version of the Toy Box is also available for the Microsoft Windows personal computer. These versions of the Toy Box utilize the web codes included with each Disney Infinity character.
Travel
The Travel list can be selected via the pause menu, or by stepping on the red circle on the Disney Infinity Hub. As the name suggests, the player can travel to different adventures, or to other toy boxes, including ones that are already prebuilt.
Mastery Adventures
Mastery Adventures are similar to adventures, but are more important, as they will unlock certain toys for use in the toy box. The six available mastery adventures are Building Mastery, Combat Mastery, Driving Mastery, Dynamics Mastery, Creativi-Toys Mastery Part 1, and Creativi-Toys Mastery Part 2. Each one has the player "master" a certain category, such as building or driving. Completing one of these will award the player with a spin for the Disney Infinity Vault, as well as the ability to use those toys in the toy box. The "Introduction to Disney Infinity" toy box will also expand, granting the player more areas to look for green capsules with spins in them.
Adventures
Adventures are mini-games that can be played to earn spins, or to level up a character. Three medals can be earned for each one - bronze, silver and gold, each one harder than the last. In addition to 9 default adventures, each character comes with their unique adventure, which can also be played to earn medals.
Prebuilt Toy Box Worlds
As the name implies, this can transport players to other toy boxes that come with the game, or are unlocked in vaults or chests in play set mode. There are nine total prebuilt toy boxes to build, three of which are unlocked from the start. The remaining six can be unlocked by opening chests or vaults within each of the six play sets.
The nine toy boxes available are Introduction to Disney Infinity, Toy Box Launch, Empty Toy Box, Monsters University Toy Box, Incredibles Toy Box, Pirates of the Caribbean Toy Box, Cars Toy Box, Lone Ranger Toy Box, and Toy Story in Space Toy Box.
Load
This feature lets players load toy boxes that they have created and saved to the system memory.
Online/Multiplayer
Online multiplayer is also available for Disney Infinity. When connected, players can play in each others' toy boxes, as well as play adventures and other activities together. Another online feature is the Toy Box Share, which allows players to upload their creations. Every week, the Disney Infinity YouTube channel holds toy box competitions revolving around one specific theme.
Disney Infinity Vault
The Disney Infinity Vault can be accessed via the yellow button on the Disney Infinity Hub, or by pausing the game and selecting it. Spins that have been earned by winning medals and leveling up characters can be used to win a toy. Each "page" has 16 items on it, and when a spin is used, one of the 16 objects will randomly be selected. Once an item is collected, the player can use another spin if they have one, increasing their chance of winning the toy they want. Additionally, the pages can be shuffled to include different items.
Collection
The Collection is a collection of the toys that have been earned in play set mode or the Disney Infinity Vault. These items can be placed in the Toy Box by pressing the "build" button.
Reset Gameplay
The Reset Gameplay feature removes all enemies that the player has placed, and will move the player to a "safe" place, which is usually the Disney Infinity Hub. This feature is presumably intended to help players if they are stuck in between a wall or block, and can not get out.
Playable characters
With 29 playable characters featured in Disney Infinity, there is a total of 12 different Disney series represented. 17 characters were released in the first wave, and 12 were released in the second wave.
It is currently unconfirmed whether or not new characters will eventually be made compatible with the original game, though it is unlikely.

Development
Xbox One, PlayStation 4 potential
Avalanche Software stated that Disney Infinity toys will be supported on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles, and future next generation versions of Disney Infinity will likely result in a game that will be "way more beautiful," offer "a whole lot more" content, "or both." Disney Interactive Studios has not confirmed development, and no release dates have been set for possible Xbox One and PlayStation 4 versions.
Reception
Disney Infinity received mostly positive reviews from critics (except for the 3DS version, which received negative reviews). It received a 74 and 75 out of 100 on review aggregrator site Metacritic, for PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 respectively.
The sandbox mode, namely the Toy Box mode, received much praise. Steven O'Donnell of Good Game: Spawn Point stated that "it's a bit like Minecraft in that you're dropped into an open world that you can then build some pretty spectacular structures in." Kevin VanOrd of GameSpot called the Toy Box "a gleefully entertaining shared space," and greatly preferred it over the story mode.
The figurines of the playable characters received mixed to positive reactions. Daniel Krupa of IGN said that they're "well-made statues," and that "each one really captures the personality of that character with a charismatic stance." The soundtrack and dialogue of Disney Infinity also received mixed reactions. Andrew Reiner of Game Informer said that "characters repeat dialogue way too often," and that the soundtrack is "often surprisingly absent." Andy Robertson of Forbes stated that his children loved playing the figurines, both in the game and as toys.
The overall price of the game and all of the toys received media coverage. Jeff Cork of Game Informer said that to purchase all items at the launch (the game, all launch toys and power discs) it costs a minimum of AUD$460. Kevin VanOrd of GameSpot called Disney Infinity "a platform designed to keep you spending money." Nick Cowen of The Guardian warned parents to "get ready with those wallets."
In September 2013, Disney revealed that the game had sold 294,000 copies in the United States during its first two weeks on sale.
On October 18, 2013, Disney Interactive announced that the game had sold more than a million copies worldwide. With more figures not yet released, Disney hopes the number of units sold will continue to grow. As of January 20, 2014, three million starter packs have been sold.
The game was nominated for the Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in 2014, but lost to Just Dance 2014.
Beta elements
Scrapped characters
Playable data for the characters Ferb, Zurg, The King and Finn McMissile can be found within the game's files, with playable footage for all of them seen through game trailers or toy store videos within playsets.
Additional, a directory titled "pnf_doofenshmirtz" could be found in the first version of Disney Infinity: Toy Box for the PC, with model data and a significant amount of work done in terms of animations. An update for the PC version removed the folder, most likely to reduce file sizes and donwload times.
The Underminer, Grem and The Abominable Snowman exist in early concept art, but the ideas were dropped.
Unused enemies
The Yeti from Expedition Everest has a directory in the "characters" folder of the PC game titled "tb_yeti" which consists of a model and textures. While the enemy itself was scrapped, it still appeared as a costume in the toy box.
The folder is still present in the latest version of Disney Infinity: Toy Box.
Glitches
Sidekick Pack data glitch
Some Hector Barbossa figures included in the Sidekick Pack contain data for Mrs. Incredible, a character who is also included in the set. This is likely a manufactoring glitch, and has only proven to have been in a few packs.
Toy Box saving glitch
When saving a Toy Box, sometimes players will receive an error message saying that the Toy Box could not be saved as toys not unlocked yet have been placed. This glitch has been found in both the Xbox 360 and Wii U versions.
