- Normal Activation: Several skeleton hands appear on the racetrack in front of Barbossa, slowing opponents down on contact and generating a cursed coin.

Cruella De Vil will be a Speedster Class Racer and Maleficent a Trickster.
If you’re eager to learn more about how Cruella De Vil and Maleficent Unique Skills work, we have all the details for you below.
CRUELLA DE VIL - DRIVING OBSESSION
- Normal Activation: Cruella honks her horn for a very short time, creating sonic waves that stun opponents and destroy obstacles.

MALEFICENT - MISTRESS OF EVIL
- Normal Activation: Maleficent raises her staff and calls down a number of lightning bolts from the sky on the track in front of her, stunning any racers hit. Each time her unique skill stuns a racer, she gains a flame.
- Charged Activation: When she gets 6 flames, her Dragon Form is activated temporarily. In her Dragon form, flames engulf Maleficent and her kart, which transforms into an invulnerable dragon flying over the track at increased speed (autopilot). If there are any racers in her path, she breathes fire in front of her, stunning any racers hit by the flames.
