Line 156:
* [[Hub Level]]: As far as accessing the other levels, Mean Street serves as this, especially considering that its [[Disney Theme Parks]] counterpart, Main Street USA, is probably the best [[Real Life|real-life]] example of the [[Trope]].
* [[In a World]]: Played completely straight in [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ovuo_7p2ntg this trailer] made for Tokyo Game Show 2010. [[Rule of Cool|And it is awesome.]]
* [[In Case You Forgot Who Wrote It]]: The game's initial concept was created by Matthew Stringer, Chris Takami, and the 8 college interns from Buena Vista Games in 2004, before [[Disney]] Interactive Studios brought in Warren Spector.

* [[Insistent Terminology]]: At least on [[Video Game]] shows on, say, G4, they're ''very'' persistent in referring to it as '[[Disney]] '''Epic Mickey''''. As if we'd ever forget who [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey's]] affiliated with.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: When [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] gets one of Hook's pirates to admit his love for Henrietta the Cow.
Line 171:
* [[Limelight Series]]
* [[Limited Special Collectors' Ultimate Edition]]: Comes with a Behind the Scenes DVD, a [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] figure, and some decals for the [[Wii]] and [[Pun-Based Title|Wiimote]].
* [[Lost Forever]]: ''Every single action stage''. According to [https://web.archive.org/web/20111026105852/http://www.totalvideogames.com/Disney-Epic-Mickey/preview-15659.html this article], once you clear an action stage, you can't go back. Oh, and the game autosaves after important decisions. According to the dev team, this is so that players can't go back on their choices.
** Fortunately, there's a [[New Game+]] option that allows you to go back to old levels.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: A fireworks version is used to defeat the {{spoiler|real Shadow Blot}}.
Line 235:
** Special mention, however, must go to the "Scrapper [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]]" design, which goes all the way back to "Plane Crazy" for inspiration—or, at least it did, before getting dropped.
* [[Rise to the Challenge]]: One of the 2.5D ''[[Fantasia]]'' stages late in the game has a rising flood of paint thinner.
* [[Robot Buddy]]: [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald]] [[Mystery Science Theater 3000|tries to keep his sanity with the help of his robot friends.]] [http://disney.adata.com.tw/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/epic-mickey-5-goofy.jpg They]{{Dead link}} [https://web.archive.org/web/20141008191804/http://www.gameinformer.com/cfs-filesystemfile.ashx/__key/CommunityServer.Components.PostAttachments/00.00.03.82.87/Donald.jpg aren't] all that well put together, though.
* [[Rule of Three]]: [[What Could Have Been|Hero, Wastelander, and Scrapper.]]
* [[Save Scumming]]: Averted. The game auto-saves after just about every karma-related decision you make, forcing you to live with whatever consequences result from it, and there is no other way to save the game.
* [[Scenery Porn]] and [[Scenery Gorn]]: The Wasteland is [https://web.archive.org/web/20100619081422/http://wii.ign.com/dor/objects/786198/warren-spector-game-project-/images/e3-2010-disney-epic-mickey-screens-20100615020110644.html beautiful in its own way.]
* [[Sequel Hook]]: After the ending credits, {{spoiler|[[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] is sealed away from the Wasteland... but his finger starts dripping ink, which means that some of the [[Eldritch Abomination|Shadow Blot's]] ink is still in him.}}
** {{spoiler|Could [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] potentially become the next Blot?}}
Line 247:
* [[Shielded Core Boss|Shielded Core Mooks]]: All Beetleworx have a layer of Paint armor that the player must dissolve via Thinner before they can inflict a damaging blow; the Beetleworx regenerate their armor after each hit.
* [[Shout-Out]] / [[Reference Overdosed]]: [[Epic Mickey/Shout Out|Has its own page, again.]]
* [[Shown Their Work]]: Besides including some of the more obvious theme park icons, some sketches even feature early [[Disney Theme Parks|Disneyland]] icons like the [
** [[La Résistance|The Gremlins]] are from an unmade [[World War 2]] 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''' [[Shown Their Work|showing your work.]]
