Disney Infinity 2.0 features similar gameplay to Disney Infinity. Each character can equip a "Pack" or a "Tool". Packs are items that are worn and can be equipped on a character's back, occasionally shown as some sort of backpack. Tools are items, such as rifles, that can be equipped in a character's hand. Some aspects of the game, however, have been changed. In addition to ground movement, certain characters can fly and hover.[16] The size of Toybox worlds and Playset has been increased, notably due to the inclusion of flying.[16] Certain characters can climb walls, including the Hulk.[17] The level cap of playable characters has been expanded from Level 15 to Level 20.[16] Characters can be "leveled up" by collecting sparks.[18] A "Skill Tree" has been incorporated into the game and can be used to upgrade a character's abilities.[19][20][21] The figures from the first game also receive additional abilities through the Skill Tree.[22] The choices made in the Skill Tree are semi-permanent, as players have the option to reset the Skill Tree choices by resetting their character to Level 0.[18] Some characters can jump long distances, including Hulk.[12] Each character plays differently from another,[14] with characters being roughly divided into two categories, Ranged and Melee.[23] Ranged characters fight from far distances, while Melee characters fight using close combat. Signature moves can be unlocked as the player progresses.[24] For example, Drax primarily utilizes short-ranged melee attacks to defeat enemies, while Star-Lord can use ranged pistols.[14] As characters are leveled up, new abilities will be unlocked.[25] Iron Man's ground slam and Hulk's Thunderclap[25] abilities can be unlocked once players have enough Skill Points. Characters' upgrades differ. Iron Man can upgrade his blasting capabilities, while Thor and Hulk can upgrade their strength, using the new Special Skills and Combat system.[26]All upgrades, skills and progress applied to the character will be saved to the figurine.[27] The freeform unlock system in Disney Infinity 2.0 replaces the roulette-based unlock system from Disney Infinity.[28] If a player is defeated in-game, they must wait a certain time frame until they can use the character they were using again.[29] A map scanner has been implemented to allow players to get around worlds more easily.[29] Mission givers are also present in the game.[29] In order to web-sling players do not need to attach their webs to surroundings near by.
