Line 42:
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: [[The Mad Doctor]]'s Swiss-Army-torture-device has four settings: A large pair of shears, a massive corkscrew, a chainsaw, and at its highest setting (labelled with a skull and crossbones), a... toilet plunger? Even Mickey is surprised. {{spoiler|And then he learns it's used for... unorthodox heart surgery...}}
* [[Art Attacker]]: Mickey uses a brush and paint thinner to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]].
* [[Art Shift]]: Gameplay segments use a relatively orthodox graphical style reminiscent of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy (Video Game)|Super Mario Galaxy]]''. Cutscenes, however, are 2D and in a style influenced by the late [
* [[Ascended Fanboy]]: Warren Spector is a pretty big Disney fan.
** And now he gets to write for the [[Duck Tales]] comic book after he's begged to make a [[Duck Tales]] video game.
Line 69:
* [[Bridge Logic]]: An option for getting through the European section of Gremlin Village.
* [[Bubblegloop Swamp]]: Bog Easy, based on New Orleans Square from the parks. Of course the "Gloop" happens to be paint thinner...
* [[But Thou Must!]]: You can do things either by disregarding others, destroying things, and being a [[Jerkass]], or by helping people out and giving your all to improve everyone's lives, but the story and all but two cutscenes are the same no matter what.
** The creators were disappointed by this, and are trying to make moral choices have more of an impact in the sequel.
* [[Camera Centering]]
Line 132:
* [[Fat Bastard]]: The Spladooshes. Big Bad Pete, and the other versions of Pete (except Pete Pan) could also apply.
* [[Fairy Companion]]: [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] can attract up to three "Guardian Spirits" depending on his use of Paint and [[Black Magic|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, [[Stop Helping Me!|asks if you want to enter/exit every building ever...]]
* [[Fighting a Shadow]]: [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey's]] duel with {{spoiler|the Shadow Blot}} on top of Mickeyjunk Mountain.
* [[Floating Continent]]: Wasteland appears to be made up of this.
Line 165:
* [[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. [http://nerdacumen.com/what-they-probably-wont-tell-you-about-epic-mickey-at-e3/2010/06/15/#more-639 More about this here.]
* [[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.
* [[Instant Awesome, Just Add Dragons]]: [[Petes Dragon|Elliott]] in the form of [[Ninja Pirate Zombie Robot|a robotic version of his Main Street Electrical Parade float]] in Epic Mickey 2.
* [[Interspecies Romance]]: When [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] gets one of Hook's pirates to admit his love for Henrietta the Cow.
{{quote| '''[[Deadpan Snarker|Gus]]''': "Personally, I give them a few months, tops."}}
Line 180:
* [[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 [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
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: A fireworks version is used to defeat the {{spoiler|real Shadow Blot}}.
* [[Manipulative Bastard]]: [[The Mad Doctor]] is manipulating [[Blob Monster|the Blot]] for his own means. {{spoiler|[[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald]] is manipulating [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey]] to build the rocket for him}}.
Line 193:
* [[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]].
* [[Mix
** 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)|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.
Line 201:
* [[Motor Mouth]]: [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald.]] Just try to keep up with what he's saying when you first meet him.
* [[Multiple Endings]]: Depending on [[Karma Meter|how you fought the bosses]]. {{spoiler|Although it seems that only what happens to certain characters changes in the various endings.}}
* [[New Game
* [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]]: What started the whole mess.
** Later, the entire mess could have been finished, except {{spoiler|[[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald's]] [[What the Hell, Hero?]] starts it over again}}.
Line 239:
** [[Subverted Trope|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.
* [[Redemption in The Rain]]: Justified. {{spoiler|It "rains" paint during the ending, restoring the Wasteland to its original state.}}
* [[Red Eyes, Take Warning]]: [[The Mad Doctor]]'s operating-robot, [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero|after Oswald breaks its console.]]
** Also the Slobbers (if you painted them friendly and somehow enough [[Black Magic|thinner]] got on them to turn evil again). They have {{color|red|red}} eyes only when they aren't under [[Mickey Mouse|Mickey's]] influence.
* [[Remilitarized Zone]]: The travel map based on the [[Oswald the Lucky Rabbit|Oswald]] cartoon "Great Guns".
Line 256:
*** 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.
* [[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
* [[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 [http://www.pacificsites.com/~drhoades/tomorrow.htm 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.
** [[La Résistance|The Gremlins]] are from an unmade [[World War 2]] film, though were still used in some military unit insignia and comics.
