Club Penguin: Downhill Racing is an upcoming racing game published by Disney Interactive Studios. The developer is currently unknown. The game was announced on November 5, 2015 on the What's New Blog to be released for Xbox 360, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, and Wii U on April 23. A Wii version was planned but was cancelled later in development.

Gameplay
There are 2 different modes: Story and Race. The Race mode is a multiplayer mode that allows up to 4 players (5 on the Wii U version) to compete in a race. Different power-ups appear in the game during the gameplay. These give an advantage or a disavantage.

Veichles can additionally be upgraded and customized, and can be shared online.

Story
Jeff the Ref announced the 1st Anuall Club Penguin Downhill Racing Tournament, where the winner will recieve 1,000,000 coins. Herbert hears about this, believe he can use the money to create an empire. Desperate to win, Herbert trashes the competition with his Polar Jet (his veichle).

However, the EPF arrive on the scene, and enlist an agent to stop him.

Hub World
The Hub World is a version of the Ski Hill. One area allows people to access the story mode. The next area allows for multiplayer racing. Another is for Veichle Customization. Most notably, in a similar vein to Club Penguin: Game Day, the last one allows players to transfer their penguin from the online game, which can be customized and appear as allies in the story.

The game features a total of 27 playable characters, 12 of which must be unlocked. The staff has considered releasing more as DLC.
