Rockers

Rockers are a type of Blotworx in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Mickey first encounters a Rocker at Gulch Bridge.

Strategy[]

Rockers are some of the deadliest enemies in Epic Mickey 2. To defeat them, the player must Spin Attack the front of their "head", to reveal a button. Then, the player has to jump onto the button, exposing the Spatter inside. Finally, the player has to Paint or Thin the Spatter to redeem or defeat the Rocker. This sounds simple, but the Rocker will utilise many attacks to stop Mickey from doing this. Firstly, the Rocker will shoot powerful missiles at Mickey, and the number of missiles it shoots at any time can vary. Secondly, it'll shoot fire out of the exhaust pipes on it's head, preventing Mickey from pressing the button. Finally, it can quickly drive away from Mickey, making it harder to close the distance.

The easiest way to circumvent these issues is to have Oswald use his electricity to stun the Rocker, allowing Mickey to defeat it. Other methods are waiting for the Rocker to temporarily "shut down" (this can happen after it uses it's missiles) or you can use a variety of sketches. The Anvil Sketch will crush the Rocker's armour, the TV Sketch will expose the Spatter inside and the Watch Sketch can allow Mickey to press the button before the Rocker has time to use any of it's attacks. It's not advised to use the Fairy Sketch as it provides no benefit other than stopping the Rocker from attacking.

Trivia[]

Rockers originally mimicked the design of Herbie from the 1963 Disney movie "Herbie".
- Their current design source is unknown, although the chassis' build does bare a striking resemblance to Mickey Mouse's car (albeit a different color).
On console versions of the game, Rockers turn blue when they are befriended, similarly to blotlings.
