Disney Universe Guide Essentials Navigating the Universe
Power-Ups
Throughout all of the levels you can find VIC cubes. VIC has strategically placed them in areas where the enemy attacks you—so if you see them, be ready for a fight. Most of the VIC cubes contain power-ups that give you an advantage over the enemy during a fight. However, HEX has included some curses, so you never know what you will get until you touch one of these cubes.
Power-ups and curses last only for a short amount of time—about 10 seconds. Therefore, use them while you can and don’t pick them up until you need them during a fight.
