Changes: Animatronic Captain Hook

Revision as of 15:51, 23 July 2011

Captain Hook is a Disney Villain from the classic Disney film Peter Pan and the third boss of the game. In Epic Mickey, Captain Hook appears as an animatronic made by a machine that turns pirates into robots, and vice versa if you choose to paint the machine. The machine was created by the Mad Doctor, but used by Hook to turn his former crew into Bashers.

This Captain Hook is based on the animatronic Captain Hook in the "Peter Pan's Flight" attractions at the Disney theme parks. This one seems to have been reprogrammed into a Beetleworx however.

During this fight, you have three options:

You can either fight him off the plank, deplete his health completely, or platform your way up the rafts and rescue the Sprite, the Wasteland's version of Tinker Bell. This will bring Pete Pan to Mickey's aid and will fight Hook for you, which increases your Paint capacity, and the good ending will show Hook dueling Pete Pan.

If you choose to fight him off the plank, Hook will be chased away by a robotic version of Tick-Tock and your Thinner capacity will be increased instead, and the bad ending will involve Hook having been devoured by the Crocodile. As you battling Hook, he can shoot Thinner from his gun. He can also throw several bombs at you. Use the Spin move to counter them. Switch the track line, so that it will lead to the edge of the ship where the Crocodile is waiting for him. Use the Thinner to Thin out his barrel armor and push him with your Spin move. He will pushed down to the end of the track where he will be damaged. As you damaged him, his attacks become more quicker and powerful than before. He can also warp from one barrel to another. As you spray him with Paint, he will try to defend himself from the Paint, making unable to attack for a moment.

Captain Hook fighting Pete Pan

You can defeat Hook without the help of the Crocodile or Pete Pan by hitting him into the walls and beams of the ship. After doing so enough times, he will malfunction and his body will fall apart, leaving him as nothing more than a mechanical head, also increasing your Thinner capacity. Either way of doing the Thinner battle will earn Mickey the Captain Hook pin, but doing the Paint version of the battle will instead earn him the Hook vs. Pete Pan pin from Pete in Mean Street.

An interesting thing to note is that, although his crew can be restored to human form, Hook himself remains in robot form, this is most likely because he is not the "real" Hook but is an animatronic like Donald, Daisy and Goofy are.
