Epic Mickey Collectors Edition Guide [Hardcover]

Disney Epic Mickey is a big game, with over 90 quests for Mickey to complete on his journey to save Wasteland. Not only does Mickey have a lot to do, but in Disney Epic Mickey "Playstyle matters," which means that the choices you make as you play the game have both short- and long-term effects on the game you experience and how the story ends.

Prima’s official game guide will help you get the most out of your Disney Epic Mickey gameplay. In addition to the full strategy guide, the Collector’s Edition guide includes bonus content that will appeal to fans of the game and Disney fans alike.



The collectible hardcover guide has a clean, minimalist look with a deep, glossy finish on the art.
A foreword written exclusively for the Collector’s Edition by Warren Spector, the creator of Disney Epic Mickey.
In addition to the foreword, we also have a lengthy interview with Warren about some of the creative processes, inspirations, and favourite moments in the game. Plus, an introduction to the major characters in the game including art!
Each Collector’s Edition guide comes with an art lithograph of a scene inspired by the game. The lithograph is in the style of a reproduction animation cel, with a clear overlay of the characters against a separate background piece. These limited edition reproduction cels are uniquely numbered and suitable for framing.
Our Basics chapter teaches you how to get around in the game, how combat works, and explains the types of decisions you’ll need to make as you play. Will you focus on Paint or Paint Thinner to make your way through Wasteland? Will you befriend or defeat the foes you encounter? Will you lend a helping hand and make new friends during your journey, or are you single-mindedly focused on defeating the Blot and returning home? These are the questions we’ll help you answer as you get into the game.
Mickey travels through seven different worlds, tackling over 90 quests, as he chases the Blot and tries to restore balance to Wasteland. In each world, there is a lot to accomplish and to collect—in fact, if you want to do absolutely everything in the game, it’s not possible in a single playthrough! That’s why our walkthrough breaks it all down for you.
Our fully labelled maps pinpoint mission-critical areas, hidden collectibles, and areas where Paint or Thinner can be used. Check out the Jungle Boat Ride map on page 32. The numbered icons on the map correspond to critical points in the walkthrough text, so you can easily figure out where you’re supposed to be. We also cover Gremlin locations, pins, and extra content, so you can find everything you’re looking for in a level—and keep track of the things you might need to come back for on an additional playthrough.
Collectibles, Gremlins, and Paint/Thinner areas are highlighted in special boxes so you can easily get the tips you need to unlock what you’re after.
2D levels, where Mickey enters classic Disney cartoons in order to collect film reels, are fully covered in their own special style (for example, on page 109).
Boss battles are covered in detail in their own sections, and we give you strategies to defeat them using either Paint or Thinner, so that you can use the tactic that matches your preferred playstyle. As you can see on pages 61-63, multiple approaches are shown and the sections are packed with screenshots so you can tell you’re doing it right!
Throughout the games, there are key decisions Mickey must make that will affect the ultimate outcome of the game. We call these decisions “Junction Points,” and they are called out in special Junction Point boxes throughout the guide. Check out page 141: the Junction Point boxes clearly highlight the decisions that you’ll have to make, and the consequences of those decisions. These choices are such a crucial part of the game that any player will want the extra guidance in order to get the most out of their playthrough.
A detailed appendix, starting on page 274, presents all the Extra Content, Film Reels, Junction Points, Pins, and Quests in list format so you can easily find exactly what you’re looking for in each world.
