Disney Speedstorm Lightning McQueen Has a Weird Problem, and No You’re Not Experiencing the Mandela Effect

Players of Disney Speedstorm recently noticed a mistake in new artwork for Lightning McQueen – his racing number is incorrect. The kart racing game, created by Gameloft, features a huge roster of popular Disney characters from various movies and shows. You can race as everyone from Disney princesses like Snow White and Cinderella to classic characters like Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, and even on tracks inspired by those same films. Now, the world of Pixar racing is the latest addition to this Disney crossover game.

Season 18 of Disney Speedstorm added the world of Cars to the game! Players can now race as Lightning McQueen, Mater, and Cruz Ramirez, and compete on a brand-new track based on Radiator Springs, featuring famous locations from the Cars movies. However, adding Lightning McQueen to the game wasn’t without some unexpected issues and discussion among players.

Disney Speedstorm Makes Big Error on Lightning McQueen

I was scrolling through the Steam subreddit for Disney Speedstorm when I saw a post by rawmarius pointing out some really weird stuff in the official art. They noticed some oddities around where Lightning McQueen and Mater were meeting, and it made them wonder if Gameloft had used AI to help create the image. The biggest mistake was on Lightning’s car – his number was 94 instead of his usual 95! The user eventually walked back the idea that the whole thing was AI-generated, but they’re still questioning whether the game is following Steam’s rules about letting players know when AI art is used.

Fans were quick to point out a clear mistake with a popular Disney character in the game Disney Speedstorm, and many were disappointed it wasn’t caught earlier. Some believe the incorrect artwork wasn’t created using AI, but was likely altered with a program like Photoshop. Interestingly, a corrected image appears when searching for the game on Google, but the version on Steam still contains the error.

Over the past few months, Disney Speedstorm has added several new characters from popular Disney movies. In January, Kuzco and Yzma from The Emperor’s New Groove joined the racing lineup. December brought characters from Zootopia – Judy Hopps, Nick Wilde, and Flash – as well as Carl and Russell from Up, expanding the game’s roster with these beloved franchises.

The latest season of Disney Speedstorm has revealed two new characters coming soon. To coincide with the release of Pixar’s Hoppers, the film’s main character, Mabel, will be added to the game in March. Season 18 will also bring a Big Hero 6 update, introducing Go Go Tomago as a playable character and a brand-new track based on San Fransokyo. Despite a few challenges, the new Piston Cup season is shaping up to be thrilling for Disney Speedstorm fans.
