=== [[Mickey Mouse]] ===
{{quote| Voiced by: Bret Iwan}}
The [[Main Character]] is none other than [[Disney|Disney]]'s]] own [[Mascot]], based on his early appearances as a mischevious mouse. His attempts to use Yen Sid's magical paintbrush accidentally led to him creating [[Epic Mickey|the game's]] [[Big Bad|main antagonist, the Shadow Blot]], and causing the [[World -Wrecking Wave|Thinner Disaster]] which ruined the Wasteland.
 
* [[Anti-Hero]]: And in an old concept, it changes his appearance;: [[Good Is Not Nice|Type III]] as Wastelander, [[What the Hell, Hero?|Type IV]]-[[Heroic Sociopath|V]] as Scrapper.
* [[Art Attacker]]
* [[The Atoner]]
Line 17:
* [[The Determinator]]
* [[The Hero]]
** [[Sociopathic Hero]] if you play towards the [[Darker and Edgier]] side of the morality system.
* [[Improbable Weapon User]]: [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] wields Yen Sid's magical paintbrush, shooting {{color|blue|Paint}} and [[Black Magic|Thinner]] at enemies and the environment alike.
* [[Karma Meter]]: Subverted. There's a meter that shows whether you prefer {{color|blue|paint}} or [[Black Magic|thinner]], but not how you're using them.
Line 26 ⟶ 25:
* [[Not So Different]]: From [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald]].
* [[Older Than They Look]]
** [[Sociopathic Hero]]: ifIf you play towards the [[Darker and Edgier]] side of the morality system.

=== [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit]] ===
{{quote| Voiced by: [[Frank Welker]]}}
Originally created by [[Walt Disney]] before [[Mickey Mouse]], [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald]] was the ruler of the Wasteland, but since the arrival of the Blot, he is now fighting against it as leader of [[La Résistance]].
 
* {{spoiler|[[Anti-Villain]]: It is hinted throughout [[Epic Mickey|the game]] that [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald]] plans to steal [[MacGuffin|Mickey's heart]], escape, and [[You Have Outlived Your Usefulness|leave him stranded in the Wasteland]] after the Moonliner Rocket is built. [[Heel Face Turn|Mickey's good deeds eventually get him to change his mind.]]. Type II.}}.
* [[Anti-Villain]][[Villainous Breakdown|ous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|When [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] confesses that he's the one who dropped the bottle of Thinner and unleashed [[Eldritch Abomination|the Shadow Blot]] into the Wasteland}}.
* [[The Atoner]]
* [[Badass Adorable]]: Probably.
Line 40 ⟶ 42:
* [[Chair Reveal]]
* [[Chaste Toons]]: Even so, Oswald managed to wind up with [[Explosive Breeder|420 Bunny Children]]. "Lucky" rabbit, indeed.
** [[Explosive Breeder]]
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]
** [[Explosive Breeder]]
* [[Forgotten Childhood Friend]] / [[Long-Lost Relative]]: And not very happy about it.
* [[Frank Welker]]: Not that his voice is used much or anything.
* [[Jerk Withwith a Heart of Gold|Jerk With Mickey's Heart of Gold]]: {{spoiler|At the end of the game, he gives back Mickey's heart to him}}. It also counts as a ''[[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]''.
* [[Long-Lost Relative]]
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]
* [[Motor Mouth]]
* [[The Napoleon]]: If you don't count the ears, he's much smaller than Mickey is.
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: Though not as obvious as Mickey's, {{spoiler|near the climax, Oswald accidentally breaks the seal on the ''real'' Shadow Blot}}.
* [[Nostalgia Level]]: Before meeting Oswald for the first time, the player is challenged to three stages based on Oswald's cartoon short films.
* [[Not So Different]]: From his half-brother, [[Mickey Mouse]]. Or [[Big Bad|the Shadow Blot]], for that matter.
* [[Older Than They Look]]
* [[The Resenter]]: And he makes no secret out of it.
{{quote| '''Mickey''': "I get that he resents me, but --"<br />
'''Oswald''': "Gee, ya THINK?" }}
* [[The Rival]] / [[Unknown Rival]]: Created before Mickey, Oswald was always jealous of his "half-brother" for stealing what he felt should have have been his life.
* [[Royals Who Actually Do Something]]: The former king of Wasteland, now leader of [[La Résistance]].
* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Yeah...
Line 62 ⟶ 63:
* [[Small Name, Big Ego]]: Ohhhhhhhhhhh yes. Just take a look at all of the monuments in Wasteland with Oswald's likeness. A particularly amusing example is the "OsTown" sign... it's just the word "Toontown" with the first two letters smashed and the 'N' turned on its side.
* [[Tsundere]]: To Mickey.
* [[Anti-Villain]][[Villainous Breakdown|ous Breakdown]]: {{spoiler|When [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] confesses that he's the one who dropped the bottle of Thinner and unleashed [[Eldritch Abomination|the Shadow Blot]] into the Wasteland}}.

* [[Big Bad]] / [[Big Bad Duumvirate]]: Alongside [[Eldritch Abomination|the Shadow Blot]].

* [[Evil Laugh]]: It is even lampshaded in a cutscene when Gus asks Oswald exactly ''which'' [[Evil Laugh]] it was.

[[Mickey Mouse|Mickey's]] first companion, Gus is one of [[La Résistance|the Gremlins fighting against]] [[Big Bad|the Shadow Blot]], and providing commentary and exposition for [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]].

[[Mickey Mouse|Mickey's]] classic comrades appear as animatronic recreations made by the Mad Doctor so Oswald could have his own close friends. heyThey're located in various hubs around Wasteland, who have been attacked and disassembled by the Mad Doctor's Beetleworx army.
 
* [[Brain In Aa Jar]]
* [[Dark Is Not Evil]]: Okay, they're [[Nightmare Fuel|creepy looking,]], but they're nice animatronic toons.
* [[Robot Buddy]]

The chief authority in Mean Street, Pete has several counterparts in other areas of Wasteland, including Small Pete near Gremlin Village, [[Tron|Petetronic]] in Tomorrowland, and [[Peter Pan (Disney film)|Pete Pan]] in Pirates of the Wasteland; all of them know each other. He may become nicer (or not) depending on the player's actions.

* [[And I Must Scream]]: If you {{spoiler|defeat him instead of redeem him}}.
* [[Ax Crazy]]
* [[Background Boss]]: For most of the battle. If you're redeeming him, you'll interact with his face.
Line 166 ⟶ 164:
