Escape Dark Beauty Castle is the first Quest in Epic Mickey. It is obtained after the opening cutscene when Mickey Mouse is in Dark Beauty Castle. To complete it, Mickey must venture through Dark Beauty Castle and find the exit.
Summary[]
After the cutscene ends, the game will cut to show Gremlin Gus distracting the Mechanical Arm that has become hostile. He urges Mickey to follow him to one of two control panels and teaches him how to use the Spin Move so he can break it. After destroying the first control panel, Gus leads Mickey to the second one, teaching Mickey how to jump along the way. Once both panels have been destroyed, the Mechanical Arm is deactivated and a secret area will open up containing Extra Content and a chest with a Bronze Pin. Gus will allow Mickey to explore and await for his arrival at the exit.
After meeting up with Gus, Mickey learns about the Blot and the Brush and how to use Paint and Thinner. Mickey then goes down a long staircase-like hallway where he can practice the abilities of Paint and Thinner, starting by painting in a gear to open a door, then thinning a toon door frame to make a bridge over a pool of Thinner, and lastly how to use both by Thinning the floor to drop some rubble out of the way then painting it back in to create a clear path to the next room.
Upon entering the next room, Mickey faces his first enemies, the Seers. Gus explains to Mickey how combat works and Mickey can then befriend (Paint) or destroy (Thin) the Seers. Mickey then has to open two gates that are blocking the exit. By using the staircase on the left side of the room (the one with a toon base) Mickey can climb to the first and second gear where he can use his spin move to knock the gears loose and open the gates (Gus talks about the Guardians along the way), revealing a Projector Screen. Mickey can then investigate the Projector and complete the quest, ending with Gus and Mickey discussing the seemingly "out of place" exit and then entering the Projector.
