Disney Crossy Road is jam-packed with characters.

There's Hiro from Big Hero 6 and Pascal from Tangled, all the emotions from Inside Out and all the toys from Toy Story, and even a grub from The Lion King.

But it also has mystery characters - secret figurines that you have to do something special to unlock. You can't get them from the prize machine or buy them with real cash - you need to meet certain criteria.

In this guide, we'll tell you how to get every single one.

What this means is you should stand behind the rock when the stampeding animals come through, then quickly switch to the other side of the rock for when they come from the other direction. If you manage this you'll unlock the character.

Secret criteria, page 4

Abstract Bing Bong (Inside Out) Bing Bong

While playing as Bing Bong (and you've made sure you've updated Disney Crossy Road to the latest version), hop along until you see a weird grey and red door. Try to open it and you'll be squished shut - and will unlock Abstract Bing Bong at the end of your run.

Abstract Sadness (Inside Out) Sadness

Once you have Abstract Bing Bong, all you need to do is play as that character and then die to unlock Abstract Sadness. Easy!

Gloyd Orangeboar (Wreck-It Ralph) Gloyd

To get this character you must play as the Green Army Man from the Toy Story universe, and then play until you see a magnifying glass shining a beam of light down. Step into the light and allow yourself to be melted to unlock this veggie warrior.
