Epic Mickey (Video Game) | comment |
Epic Mickey is a Disney game for the Wii developed by Junction Point, spearheaded by Warren Spector of Deus Ex and System Shock fame and published by Disney Interactive Studios. In an ambitious effort to help Disney restore Mickey Mouse's iconic status, it brings back the happy memories of Disney's classic short subjects and feature length films from their Golden Age, Silent Age, Dark Age, and Renaissance Age as well as attractions from the Disney Theme Parks of old... but NOT in the way anyone expected.The story begins with Walt Disney's original cartoon star, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, after finally getting Walt some success and recognition, being taken from him over both a budget dispute and a contract loophole, fading into obscurity, and being replaced by his younger half-brother Mickey Mouse. Fortunately, he becomes the first resident of a world created by the wizard Yen Sid for forgotten and rejected Disney creations and ideas. This world, called Wasteland (based on the Disney Theme Parks), exists as a small model on a table within Yen Sid's tower. Oswald takes this world as his own, presenting himself as a king there. Soon after, Oswald teams up with The Mad Doctor, another early resident of Wasteland — together, they create the robotic Beetleworx, which serve as construction tools for Wasteland, as well as relocators for new residents of the world, and together they try to make Wasteland a comfortable home for the other lost Disney characters who later join them — but Oswald grows resentful of his younger brother over time due to his increasing popularity. In a vain effort to emulate the life he never had, he makes a very large family with his feline girlfriend Ortensia, and has the Mad Doctor build robotic copies of Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, and Goofy to help him recreate the adventures Mickey went on — but even this fails to fill the void.Later on, Mickey himself stumbles into Yen Sid's tower, after being lured in by the wizard's mischevious (or malicious) magic mirror. Shortly after arriving, he sees Yen Sid put the finishing touches on Wasteland. Content with his progress, Yen Sid goes off to sleep, while Mickey decides to put his own touch on Wasteland—he spots the magic paintbrush Yen Sid was using and begins to fiddle with it, but accidentally creates a monster called the Shadow Blot and spills paint and paint thinner all over the model. Hearing Yen Sid approaching, Mickey tries to erase the Blot and quickly clean up... and ends up spilling even more thinner on the model, creating a gaping hole in it, and then flees back to his bedroom via the mirror before the wizard returns. Despite Mickey's attempt to hide his transgression, the not-so-dead Blot persists and enters Wasteland via the hole; there, it takes over Wasteland, twisting it into a sinister and dangerous version of the original, and drives Oswald and any resistance into hiding during the conflict, henceforth called "The Blot Wars". The Doctor promptly stabs Oswald in the back (as he had always wanted to) and sides with the Blot, if just to further his own agenda.Decades later, having long forgotten the incident, Mickey is suddenly pulled into Wasteland from his home via the Blot. Mickey manages to grab the magic paintbrush before he is pulled in, so he can create and erase things with paint and thinner. After narrowly escaping from Dark Beauty Castle and the Doctor and Blot's attempt to remove his heart, as well as having a brief encounter with Oswald, Mickey's initial goal is to simply return home, but his discovery of the miserable state of Wasteland and its inhabitants, including old friends like Horace Horsecollar, cause him to change his plans.Now the mouse must regain the trust of his resentful older half-brother Oswald, foil the Mad Doctor, and stop the Shadow Blot to save and restore Wasteland, all while trying to keep his heart, the symbol of those who remember and love him, which is all the Blot needs to escape into the real world.So, if you haven't guessed already, this is one of the other series that turns Mickey into a complete badass, has a shadowy (pun intended) evil and heart stealing. Its pacing and design is heavily akin to Nintendo 64 platformers like Banjo-Kazooie. It's also been adapted into a couple of kids' books and a prequel Webcomic and graphic novel written by Peter David.A sequel has been released, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two (selected from a batch of subtitles that also included Return of the Mad Doctor and Mystery on Mean Street) and a portable side story Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, both which have their own pages.A Video Game Remake entitled Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is set for release on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch and PC in 2024. Due to both Junction Point and Disney Interactive being long defunct, the remake is being developed by Purple Lamp GmbHnote formerly known as Purple Lamp Studios (SpongeBob SquarePants: Battle for Bikini Bottom - Rehydrated, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Cosmic Shake) and published by their parent company THQ Nordic.Examples from Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two and Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion should go on their respective pages. | |

Fat Flex: When Oswald gets mad at Mickey after learning that he's the one responsible for creating the Shadow Blot, he lifts up his waist, puffing up his chest, and challenges him to a fight. However, his waist fat goes back down when he realizes that he's accidentally broken the giant cork sealing the Blot's bottle. | |

Badass Adorable: Mickey, obviously, since his cartoon design doesn't stop him from fighting robots, pirates, and monsters. Oswald is as cute as a cartoon rabbit can be, but he can still defeat giant Blotlings with lone kicks. The Bunny Kids; they're adorable little bunnies and eat blotlings. Wait, what? | |

The first boss in the game is a giant clocktower from the "It's A Small World" attraction. While normally smiling and colorful, the Anti-Magic Thinner surrounding it has washed away everything bright about, exposing its inner mechanisms and piping as it attacks anyone it can as it malfunctions. | |

Fairy Companion: Mickey can attract up to three "Guardian Spirits" depending on his use of Paint and Thinner, which can be launched at Blotlings to defeat them in a single shot. Not to mention (for a given definition of "Fairy") Gus, who fits a more conventional version of this role. He hovers about explaining things, introduces the new levels. | |

Notice This | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_20e2a53b | comment |
Notice This: "Toon" objects (surfaces affected by Paint or Thinner) are lighter and more vibrantly colored than objects surrounding them; even when thinned, they leave a ghostly silhouette behind so the player can recognize that something's supposed to go there. This is similar to the Conspicuously Light Patch of traditional cel animations, where foreground objects were lighter tone than background objects due to being placed on a separate layer. | |

Ascended Glitch | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_26ba32a3 | comment |
Ascended Glitch: Multiple examples. Theoretically, Epic Mickey is a game where you must make choices at different points of the story between doing "either this or that"; either of the options will get you a different award or cutscene and you can't get both. However, sometimes you accidentally don't really have to make the choice: you can actually do both. Instead of deciding whether or not to get the treasure or save the gremlin, it is actually possible to save both, by attacking an enemy just next to the treasure, quickly grabbing the treasure, and then hurrying to rescue the gremlin. The most developed example in the game is the Animatronic Captain Hook's boss battle. There are supposed to be three ways of defeating him: either manipulate his trajectory to make him fall in the Thinner Sea and right into the Crocodile's jaw; or make him hit against a wall numerous times, until he falls to pieces; or ignore Hook, climb the High Mast, and rescue Tinker Bell to call for Pete Pan (the Epic Mickey version of Peter Pan), who will proceed to defeat Hook for you. However, you can defeat Hook yourself either way, and then still save Tinker Bell and call for Pete Pan, who however probably won't have anything to do. You can, also, defeat Hook one way or another, then go wander around a treasure chest located somewhere else on the boat; when your return to the main deck, Hook will be back, and you can then rescue Tinker Bell and call for Pete Pan who will come and fight Hook again. | |

Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_2973d31b | comment |
Modular Epilogue: The ending gets filled in with shots of bosses and important characters behaving friendly and politely if Mickey helped them when he encountered them earlier (with the exception of the Mad Doctor). All of these shots are accompanied with narration from the sorcerer Yen Sid that can be interchanged freely but still form a cohesive sentence about people's decisions and how they affect other people. | |

Conspicuously Light Patch: The main way of identifying what you can use Paint or Thinner on. Surfaces with bright, vibrant colors are composed of Paint, while thinned objects leave ghostly silhouettes behind. Additionally, anything you can spin move to activate or smash for shineys flashes iridescent. | |

Comic-Book Limbo: This is essentially the Wasteland, a place where every forgotten and underused Disney character can live out their "retirement." Unfortunately, Mickey accidentally released a monster into it that turned what was essentially magical recreation of Disney Land into a dark, dreary shadow of its former self. | |

Body Horror | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_504a1991 | comment |
Body Horror: Quite a bit of this in the early concept art, and there's still some of this in the finished game. See the Dumbo Ride in Gremlin Village? They have no eyes. In the final game, Mickey absorbed some of the Blot when dragged into the Wasteland, resulting in him appearing to ooze drops of ink. If you favor using thinner, lots of ink will float off of him as a result. There was also a notion with Mickey's paint abilities to make it look as if he was channeling HIS OWN PAINT through the brush, but it looked too silly in testing by making Mickey look like he was getting male pattern baldness. Or even earlier when he was channeling thinner/paint with his HANDS, which looks like this. Another concept idea had Mickey radically change depending on his choices. If he made good, heroic choices, he would gain more color, his fur becoming a dark-bluish and his gloves looking golden. If he continually made bad, selfish choices, well... And don't even get started on Oswald when he was the main villain... Phantom Blot Oswald anyone? | |

Death Is a Slap on the Wrist | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_50727f8d | comment |
Some of the important quests involve finding the body parts of Animatronic Goofy, Animatronic Daisy, and Animatronic Donald. The game autosaving whenever you find quest items as well as its use of Death Is a Slap on the Wrist means that collecting the body parts isn't too grueling a task. And if you should fail to find all of the missing body parts before beating the levels they are found in, you also have the choice to buy every body part you missed for 1,000 E-Tickets, which would require nothing more than a good deal of grinding. | |

Nostalgia Level: The 2D side-scrolling "travel zones," which take their inspiration from Classic Disney Shorts, including: "Clock Cleaners" "Thru The Mirror" "Steamboat Willie" (seems heavily inspired by the one in the Genesis/SNES game Mickey Mania) "Plutopia" Three Oswald cartoons, including "Oh, What A Knight" "The Mad Doctor" Sleeping Beauty Fantasia, based on "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", with butterflies from "The Nutcracker Suite" And one non-2D section, Mickeyjunk Mountain, seems to be designed with this in mind. It's a level made out of old merchandise. A lot of it seems to be ancient, sure, but it also includes Super Nintendo and NES cartridges starring Mickey. | |

Sanity Slippage: Part of the reason the Clocktower went berserk was because it was forced to listen to the "It's a Small World" theme echoing from within itself for years.

The Tales of the Wasteland prequal comic shows that the Mad Doctor orchestrated this long before the Blot Wars began. | |

Hopeless War | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_6b510ace | comment |
Hopeless War: Before Mickey came to the Wastelands, Shadow Blot and the Mad Doctor had pretty much won the Blot War; they have conquered Oswald's castle and petrified his wife Ortensia, an act which sends him into a deep depression and causes him to lose his will to fight, leaving the fighting to small, weak bands of resistance groups. One of them, the crew of Captain Hook, has most of the members dead or turned into Beetleworx and the rest scattered leaderless in the jungle. Another group, The Gremlins, has been more successful in fighting off Blot's forces, but the sheer force of Blot's forces causes most of the Gremlins to be taken as prisoners, and their own village was under siege before Mickey helped in turning the tide. | |

Guide Dang It! | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_6ec989d8 | comment |
Guide Dang It!: Seriously. If you value your sanity at all, don't try to collect everything in this game without a source of help. Using lock-on targeting in combat (you have to place your cursor over the enemy you wish to target, then hold down the C button for about half a second). It isn't mentioned in the manual, and it's so downright counter-intuitive at first that most reviewers didn't even know the feature existed. There's also the fact that you're supposed to point to where you want the anvils and TVs to go, which the game doesn't mention. It's entirely possible that you'll end up wasting several as you try to figure out why the TVs keep spawning 30 feet away above a bottomless pit. Figuring out how to beat the Small World Clock Tower by using paint can stump some people who don't know that you have to keep painting both of its arms until they're both fully blue and hopping on the one that lowers its palms in order to reach the face and then use paint on its face until it's redeemed. | |

Being Good Sucks | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_72b0dfd2 | comment |
Being Good Sucks: Not sucks, exactly, but concerning many of the Good/Bad choices you can make in the game, be it using Paint or Thinner or doing a Fetch Quest with two possible item choices; usually, the good choice is the harder to accomplish by far (three words: "Save the Sprite"), while doing the bad thing can take about two seconds. That said, it's ultimately worth the extra effort though just to see the characters be happy and to get some added rewards (like the optional pins) that you won't get by doing the Thinner path. | |

Hostage For Macguffin: Near the game's climax, the true Shadow Blot takes Oswald and Gus hostage and demands Mickey's heart in exchange for their safety. Meta-example: Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, even after 80 years, was still owned by NBC/Universal, not Disney. To get him back into their intellectual property, Disney gave Universal one of their sportscasters, Al Michaels. Interestingly, Walt himself was happy that Walter Lantz had been using Oswald and had been taken from Charles Mintz. | |

Or you can simply continue to send Hook careening into the ship's walls, masts, and deck boards until he breaks apart from all the repeated impacts. | |

(True to form, his mouse ears shift position to retain the characteristic "Mickey Mouse" shape.) Special mention, however, must go to the "Scrapper Mickey" design, which goes all the way back to "Plane Crazy" for inspiration — or, at least it did, before getting dropped. | |

Clockwork Creature | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_9381f239 | comment |
Clockwork Creature: The Beetleworx enemies are robots constructed from random parts that have the faces of various Disney characters painted on them. Defeating them requires erasing the painted parts. The first boss in the game is a giant clocktower from the "It's A Small World" attraction. While normally smiling and colorful, the Anti-Magic Thinner surrounding it has washed away everything bright about, exposing its inner mechanisms and piping as it attacks anyone it can as it malfunctions. | |

Evil Is Easy | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_9492d6a5 | comment |
Evil Is Easy: Frequently applies to the player. Many times, doing whatever it takes to get the "good" result in a quest requires more work then just blasting your obstacles with thinner. This frequently requires more creativity, too; sometimes, it's easy to fall into accepting the "bad" ending simply because you can't figure out how to resolve the problem with paint. | |

Story Branching | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_9aa17eb0 | comment |
Story Branching: Subverted here, where the player's Exposition Fairy explicitly hints that they may solve puzzles and defeat Bosses in multiple ways (typically with either Paint or Thinner) and the player must pick a course of action; this affects NPCs' opinions of Mickey throughout the adventure, but it has zero effect on the adventure itself, nor its ending (though ending cutscenes do reflect the actual choices made). | |

By "a bit," he meant that he turned a thief into a gigantic ink demon. Subverted with the gremlins.

What the Hell, Hero? | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_d39e327f | comment |
What the Hell, Hero?: Most characters, including all of the extras, will call Mickey out on some level if he tends to use and abuse thinner. Negative major choices will also change how major characters view you. Interestingly enough, some characters will call you out for not being as edgy as they would have liked you to be if you use paint. And Gremlin Gus's basic reaction if and when Mickey chooses a treasure chest full of E-tickets over the safety of Gremlin Calvin and sends him flying via catapault. When Mickey finally admits that he caused the Thinner Disaster, Oswald becomes livid. Unfortunately, this becomes Oswald's time to do a Nice Job Breaking It, Hero. After completing one of Pete's "Bunny Kid Round-Up" quests on Mean Street, Oswald will complain if you talk to him. | |

Anti-Frustration Features | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_d6f284a3 | comment |
Anti-Frustration Features: Mickey's reserves of Paint or Thinner will slowly return to one-third capacity if they ever fall below that amount. Some of the important quests involve finding the body parts of Animatronic Goofy, Animatronic Daisy, and Animatronic Donald. The game autosaving whenever you find quest items as well as its use of Death Is a Slap on the Wrist means that collecting the body parts isn't too grueling a task. And if you should fail to find all of the missing body parts before beating the levels they are found in, you also have the choice to buy every body part you missed for 1,000 E-Tickets, which would require nothing more than a good deal of grinding. | |

Company Cross References: Tomorrow City's boss, Petetronic, is based off TRON; he shoots disks off his back and can summon rotating shields, and his armor has Tron Lines. His battle arena also looks like the computerized environments in TRON. His name is also a portmanteau of "Pete", "Tron", and "electronic". There are cameos from non-Mickey Mouse Disney characters; Tortooga has the pirates from Peter Pan in it, while a statue of Simba from The Lion King (1994) is in Lonesome Manor. | |

Adaptation Name Change | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_dc057cf3 | comment |
Adaptation Name Change: The graphic novel curiously names the Shadow Blot after his predecessor/inspiration the Phantom Blot. In the original cartoon he hailed from, The Mad Doctor's name was given as Dr. XXX on the door to his castle. Because XXX has a much different connotation today than it did in 1933note In the 1930's, a XXX mark was a common marking for jugs of moonshine or alcohol in general, making the original name a punny one. Today, XXX is a shorthand for highly pornographic materials, making his original name rather unfortunate sounding now., he is simply renamed The Mad Doctor here. | |

Blob Monster | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_ee19d278 | comment |
Blob Monster: The Shadow Blot is a monster created when Mickey mixed magical paint and paint thinner together, creating an inky creature larger than a castle that reduced a fantastical land to what is now called the Wasteland. Pieces of the Shadow Blot can also separate from it and become sentient monsters called Blotlings. | |

One-Steve Limit | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_ee7a60e9 | comment |
One-Steve Limit: Averted; there are two extras named Ian. No attention is brought to this, though the game distinguishes them by referring to the pirate as "One Eyed Ian" and the ghost simply as "Ian." Then there's Constance, the one who was the original owner of the Lonesome Manor who was suspected to have killed all her husbands with the hatchet that you have to find for Horace, and there's the NPC Constance you can randomly talk to in Ventureland if you rescue the pirates. | |

Jungle Japes: Well, there's this area in Venture Land called The Jungle... The travel map based on the 1929 short Jungle Rhythm looks to fit the trope too. | |

Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_f4f01ac | comment |
Deadly Rotary Fan: There are a series of these in the "World of Gremlins" dungeon (which imitates the "It's a Small World" ride). They spin too quickly for Mickey to easily get through unharmed, but he can use paint thinner to erase some of the blades long enough to pass by unscathed. | |

Ironic Allergy: Henrietta the cow is lactose intolerant, even lampshading irony of it. Despite this, in one mission, she asks you to bring her ice cream just as a reminder of the pirate Damien Salt who she fell in love with. | |

Earn Your Happy Ending | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_f64a9cf7 | comment |
Earn Your Happy Ending: Warren Spector heavily emphasizes the concept "Playstyle Matters". If you defeat a boss with thinner or fail a series of quests, it's going to affect the game's ending, and it will turn out worse than if you had redeemed the boss with paint or completed that important questline. | |

Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_f87c42d4 | comment |
Video Game Cruelty Potential: ...or regress back to what thou once were? You can even melt NPCs with thinner! There's a part in the first level where you can choose to let an innocent gremlin get launched so you can get a few quick bucks. Seriously. You can befriend baddies, then knock them off a ledge, knock them into a space with an unpainted object, then paint in the object, and lots of other cruel methods that won't necessarily influence your Karma Meter. | |

Have a Gay Old Time | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_fa6bfde9 | comment |
In the original cartoon he hailed from, The Mad Doctor's name was given as Dr. XXX on the door to his castle. Because XXX has a much different connotation today than it did in 1933note In the 1930's, a XXX mark was a common marking for jugs of moonshine or alcohol in general, making the original name a punny one. Today, XXX is a shorthand for highly pornographic materials, making his original name rather unfortunate sounding now., he is simply renamed The Mad Doctor here. | |

Sequence Breaking | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_fb111d49 | comment |
Sequence Breaking: The developers actually encouraged playtesters to sequence break, and then put it into the finished product and called it a feature. If anything, this can only continue now that it's released... Here's an example. In Tomorrow City, try dropping a TV on the first platform last. This platform is the only one that electrifies the tracks, so you won't have to dodge them to get to the other platforms to power those up. However, unless you had some gremlin aid, the electricity is a much better thing to dodge than the thing it replaces when all three are powered. If you don't sequence break in the above way, you are much closer to the gate after dodging the electricity. Hence, this is actually a pretty equal trade-off. | |

Shown Their Work | |
Epic Mickey (Video Game) / int_ffad4e9f | comment |
Shown Their Work: Besides including some of the more obvious theme park icons, some sketches even feature early Disneyland icons like the Moonliner and Clock of the Future. Not to mention that the whole game is about obscure characters (such as an unused version of Smee from Peter Pan) coming back to the spotlight. The Gremlins are from an unmade World War II film, though were still used in some military unit insignia and comics. In at least one interview, Warren Spector mentioned that even such seemingly insignificant elements as individual barrels were taken from Disney history. THAT'S showing your work. You remember the basketball court inside the Matterhorn? Yeah, guess what, it's actually IN the game in a hidden room on Mickeyjunk Mountain. You can also unlock access to Walt Disney's firehouse apartment on Mean Street. | |
