Disney Epic Mickey - Nintendo Wii Standard Instruction Manual

Introduction

Disney Epic Mickey is an action-adventure platforming game designed for the Nintendo Wii console. This game invites players to embark on an epic journey of creativity and discovery as Mickey Mouse. The narrative propels Mickey into Wasteland, an alternate world composed of Disney's forgotten creative endeavors. Players are equipped with the ability to wield paint and paint thinner, tools that dynamically alter the game world and influence Mickey's progression toward becoming a hero. The strategic use of paint and paint thinner, fundamental elements of animation, allows players to shape the unfolding story. This innovative gameplay style, termed 'Playstyle Matters' by Disney Interactive Studios' Junction Point, led by Warren Spector, encourages players to approach challenges creatively, exploring various possibilities and storylines, with each action carrying consequences.

Operating and Gameplay Features

Disney Epic Mickey offers a unique blend of platforming, action-adventure, and light role-playing elements. Your actions and choices directly influence the game world and narrative.

Core Gameplay Mechanics: Paint and Thinner

Mickey's primary tools are a magic paintbrush, which can project a stream of paint to create and repair broken parts of the environment, and thinner, which can eliminate parts of the world and reveal secrets. These tools are also used to interact with enemies, either befriending them with paint or defeating them with thinner.

• Paint: Use paint to restore missing objects, platforms, and characters. This often leads to positive outcomes and helps Mickey gain allies.
• Thinner: Use thinner to erase parts of the environment, revealing hidden paths or weakening enemies. This approach can lead to different consequences and alter character perceptions of Mickey.
