Disney Speedstorm Muppets event adds iconic new character
Gameloft has revealed a Disney Speedstorm Muppets time limited event, which introduces Kermit the Frog as a playable character.
As with any new racer, in order to unlock Kermit you will need to earn 10 character-specific tokens. These can found in premium loot boxes or earned by completing challenges in the time limited Kermit event races.

“This Speedster Class racer is all about getting ahead of the competition and he’s bringing a musical touch to his race towards victory with his Unique Skill – Banjo Connection!

Banjo Connection’s charged activation – Kermit the Frog plays a calming melody on his banjo, rendering him invulnerable for a short amount of time. If an opponent gets too close to him during this time, they’ll have their top speed reduced while Kermit the Frog gains increased boost fuel generation.”
