Epic Mickey: Difference between revisions

* [[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 Small World Clocktower Boss as well.

* [[Comic Book Limbo]]: This is essentially the setting.

* [[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.

** Not necessarily ignored. Since Yen Sid himself didn't even exist (and thus could not have created the Wasteland) until 1940 and [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald's]] last real appearance was about 1943, it's more likely the implication is that he continued to struggle as an "actor" for quite a few years before finally fading away completely into Mickey's shadow.

* [[Covered in Kisses]]: {{spoiler|Oswald in the ending.}}

** Not to mention how many people mistook the game as ''[[Kingdom Hearts]] III'' when it first debuted.

* [[Crapsack World]]: [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|And it's Mickey's fault.]] However, the game's plot is about saving it. So it's more of [[A World Half Full]].

** [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald]] has his moments as well, especially when the player plays the "scrapper" mode.

''"That was an impressive display of destructive firepower."'' }}

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: For the purposes of quests that require combat, using Paint to befriend Blotlings counts the same as defeating them. This even applies to some of the bosses.

* [[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.

* [[Evil Laughter]]: Both [[The Mad Doctor]] and The Blot are fans of it. [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by [[Deadpan Snarker|Gus]] in a cutscene:

'''[[Captain Obvious|Gus]]''': "Nya-ha-ha" always means bad news. }}

* [[Evil Makes You Ugly]]: Averted; while they did design an evil-looking "Scrapper" [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] during development, they removed it from the final product, instead making it look like drops of ink are oozing off of him, just like the Shadow Blot. If you use more [[Black Magic|Thinner]] than paint, then more ink will ooze off as a result.

* [[Minecart Madness]]: Shown in a concept pic at the London press conference.

** In game, a variation of this [[Trope]] appears in the Travel Map Trolley Troubles. You don't have to stay atop the trolley, but it is necessary to keep it with you and to open gates for it to complete the map. May cross over with a strange type of [[Escort Mission]].

** Was, rather. The ''Hades'' Beetleworx, as well as the [[Pinocchio|Jiminy Cricket]] Beetleworx, are nowhere to be seen in game, whereas the type the latter would be is also not seen in the game at all. Hades has been replaced with a mix of a [[Tron|Lightcycle]] and one of the dinosaur-like guards from [[Lilo and Stitch]], and [[Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (Disney film)|Lady Grimhilde]]. You know, the lady that tried to poison Snow White. The Body to this Beetleworx is also the Poison Apple.

** Not to be confused with the animatronic [[Donald Duck|Donald]], [[Goofy]], and Daisy seen around the park. These guys used to [[Word of God|repair the Wasteland, and assign the forgotten characters to where they would live]]. After [[Black Magic|the Thinner]] Disaster, everybody just kind of did their own thing.

* [[Tomorrowland]]: Tomorrow City, the [[Crapsack World|Wasteland's]] equivalent of the [[Real Life|real-life]] [[Trope Namer]]. It even has a ''[[Tron]]'' look, complete with [[Tron Lines]].

* [[The Three Trials]]: [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] has to go through three 2D action stages in Mickeyjunk Mountain based on old [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit]] cartoons in order to meet with said rabbit.

* [[Toon]]: Most of the main characters. The Beetleworx, weirdly enough, combine elements of this and [[Eldritch Abomination]].

* [[Toon Town]]: [[Crapsack World|Wasteland]]. A very [[Darker and Edgier|grim]] example.
