The Castle Entrance is the third level of Dark Beauty Castle, as well as the last level of the castle's first visit. This area is where Gus teaches Mickey about combat against Blotlings. It also is the first area where a trapped Gremlin is found, which acts as Mickey's first moral choice in the game. This level also introduces the first Projector Screen in the series.

The Castle Entrance makes a return in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, referred to as the Courtyard.

Story[]

Past[]

At some point, The Mad Doctor had Gremlin Calvin caged and set on a catapult.

Epic Mickey[]

Mickey and Gus enter the area from Utilidor III to follow Oswald out of the castle, only to see that he has locked the gate behind him. Shortly after, a Seer spawns through a Spatter Tube. Gus explains to Mickey that it is part of The Blot's Blotling Army. Mickey asks if it's dangerous, to which Gus says they aren't good company. Gus then goes on to explain how to combat Blotlings with the Brush. If Mickey goes up to the gate then Gus will inform him that there are two gears up on the balconies that can open the gate. Upon ascending the staircase, Mickey is introduced to the Guardians, which Gus denotes by Tint types and Turp types. Upon activating both of the gate's doors, Mickey and Gus come face to face with a Projector Screen. They hop in and go to Slalom.

Area Layout[]

Castle Entrance Map

The Castle Entrance is a larger rectangular area with four large doorways and two deteriorated balconies that each lead up to a spinnable gears. The door to the west leads to Utilidor III, while the door to the east is the gate that acts as the presumed entrance to the castle. To the north is a red Toon door, and to the south is an Inert door with a Spatter Tube to its left. Near the east is a large mechanical catapult with a Pressure Panel to its side.

Gameplay[]

Mickey will be standing right outside the now closed door to Utilidor III. If he is seen by the Seer then it will call out another Seer from the Spatter Tube. In order to open the gate, Mickey will need to ascend the northern balcony. Gus will instruct Mickey to thin some Toon debris blocking the path. On the other side Mickey will need to paint in the toon floor where the Tints are located, then jump across two gaps. Gus will instruct Mickey to use the C button in order to quickly change the angle of the camera, then Mickey will either need to paint in or jump across the rest of the balcony before reaching the first gear. Gus will instruct Mickey to use his spin move on it, which will cause the barricade behind the gate to lower. After spinning the gear, Mickey will have to jump past the end of the balcony in order to reach the other one. Mickey will need to paint in the floor where the Turps are, then he will need to thin out the Toon floor with the inert debris in order to remove it. Upon repainting the floor, Mickey will need to jump across the gap, then do the same with the floor covered in more debris. Once across the Toon floor, Gus will once again instruct Mickey to use his spin move on the second gear. Once the gear is activated, Gus will instruct Mickey to head to the Projector Screen. Once Mickey is ready, he can go up to the Projector Screen and press the A button in order to leave the Castle Entrance.

Tips[]

  • It is possible to keep the second Seer from spawning as long as Mickey keeps a good distance from the first one.
  • If Mickey walks down to the lowest section of the second balcony he can thin a brown Toon rock to get a white E-Ticket.

Caged Gremlins[]

Pins[]

  • A chest can be found behind a toon door containing the "Dark Beauty Castle" Pin.
  • Mickey will be rewarded a Gold Pin if he frees Gremlin Calvin.

Extra Content[]

  • To the left of the catapult, the toon ramp can be thinned to reveal the "Dark Beauty Castle I" extra content.

Disney Inspiration[]

  • Multiple banners on the castle walls depict Maleficent's Dragon form. In Rebrushed, statues of her in this form appear at either side of the entrance, replacing the statues of Scar that previously stood there.
  • Many banners resemble the ones outside of Disneyland's Sleeping Beauty Castle.

Trivia[]

  • Gremlin Calvin is the only NPC in this level.
  • Using the LSS flying glitch, it is possible for Mickey to cause a sequence break and free Calvin before activating the Pressure Panel, allowing Mickey to collect both the Gold Pin and the 50 E-Tickets from the Inert chest. However Calvin will still be counted as having been launched by the catapult despite no longer being on it, and won't be present in World of Gremlins. It is unknown if this affects the Gremlin Guardian Pin given by Gus for rescuing all Caged Gremlins.
