Created as part of the Living Character Initiative at Imagineering, testing for an early version of the game took place during the summer of 2006 and included visits to the United Kingdom Pavilion and the France Pavilion, with a final encounter with Shego and Dr. Drakken taking place at the ImageWorks interactive exhibit upstairs at the Imagination Pavilion, the first time the space was open to the public outside tours since 1998. The final version, omitting the ImageWorks stop and having individual missions for multiple pavilions to take on different villains, debuted in January 2009.
