Epic Mickey/Nightmare Fuel: Difference between revisions

** [http://kotaku.com/5325198/this-looks-like-art-from-warren-spectors-steampunk-disney-game The initial concept art] implied a more steampunk-style [[Disney]] [[Video Game|game]]. The twisted, blasted landscapes and run-down [[Disney Theme Parks|Disneyland]] landmarks are one thing, [http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/kotaku/2009/07/steamgoof.jpg but this] is quite another, what with the elephant-bot (which looks like it came right out of '{{color|pink|PPink}} elephants on parade') with hooks for hands, soulless dead eyes, and a skeletal, spindly torso which barely even resembles an elephant, and the equally horrifying no-eyed-one-armed [[Goofy]]-bot on the right. Also the disney-character-mashup [http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3579/3769500853_d4f52bded4_o.jpg that borders on] [[Body Horror]]. As far as official art goes, there's [http://img98.imageshack.us/img98/8427/7558epicmickey2d00cover.jpg later artwork] from the cover of Game Informer, and, for an even scarier version of the Phantom Blot, [http://www.wiitalia.it/wp-content/uploads/2009/10/phantom-blot-epic-mickey-disney-videogame-wii.jpg there's the one that wouldn't look out of place in an] [[Iron Maiden]] album cover.

* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUzEkepSQqg The Clock Tower] and the [[Slasher Smile|demented]] [http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2316/clocktowerg.png grin] it sports. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BtKKDjPJVHo music] doesn't help matters, either, which in turn are made worse by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y2zwo2Vjr1s adding the lyrics being sung by children:] this idea, as a little piece of trivia, was originally going to be used in the game. Music aside, the Clock Tower is also made immensely disturbing because of how you fight it when using {{color|green|TThinner}}: {{spoiler|basically, you have to melt the {{color|blue|bblue}} metal armour it has covering its brittle mechanical hands, so that when it pounds the floor to attack you, the force shatters them apart. Not only does the impact look very painful (anyone who's ever broken their arm by hitting something will concur), but the hydraulic pipes that line the exposed arm [[Ludicrous Gibs|start bleeding profusely]]. Its face even starts bleeding after intense damage; then, after breaking its arms up completely, the tower mutters a few lines about how his time is up, then, in a mini-cut-scene, one of the arms falls off, its face falls into the thinner lake, and the remaining arm stump blindly feels for its missing head before falling off itself. You then have to walk on them to leave the area. Finally, in the ending, where you see what happened to everyone after you left, you can see the clock tower still in pieces floating in the thinner lake, [[And I Must Scream|unable to move and eternally in intense pain]].}} The "[[What Do You Mean Its Not for Kids]]" aspect is all over the place with this boss.

* Mickeyjunk Mountain, at first, is just a cool mountain made entirely up of retro [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] merchandise; it stops being "cool" as soon as you realize that this is [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald's]] hideout, so [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald]] most likely built the entire thing, spending spent all that time collecting [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] stuff and trashing it to make a sort of a mocking monument. Basically, it's an unsettling Mickey-based [[Stalker Shrine]]. Then, we find out {{spoiler|that [[Eldritch Abomination|the real Shadow Blot]] is imprisoned at the peak.}} As you travel higher up the mountain, {{color|blue|bblue}} smears start to appear on the ground. Take a good look at them. The ground has been stained with the paint of dead bunny kids. You can still see their terrified expressions. In the highest outside level of Mickeyjunk Mountain, where you turn and see on the side of the mountain what essentially is a colossal [[Mickey Mouse]] skull. And if you go over to the bars separating you from the thinner river, it's staring right at you.
