Gilda is an anthropomorphic mountain Goat who loves climbing and racing. She also has a Guardian who follows her around, which Mickey can in timed challenges runs out to obtain power sparks.
In Epic Mickey[]
Gilda was climbing Mickeyjunk Mountain when Blotlings attacked. Gilda hid on a ledge and thought she was safe, but they caught up. The goat was forced to flee. She safely made it back to Mean Street, but she left her climbing axe in her hiding place.
Big Bad Pete challenged her to a race sometime later, claiming to give her a prize if she beat his time, thinking she couldn't. Gilda won easily, but the actual prize wasn't decided, so Pete gave her a Gear for the Projector Screen machine he happened to have. Mickey needs that Gear to go to Mickeyjunk Mountain himself, so he talks to Gilda. Wishing for her axe back, she inadvertently gives Mickey the Gilda's Lost Axe quest. She challenges Mickey to a race around Mean Street. If the mouse can follow her Guardian to the checkered flag and beat Gilda's race time of one minute, the Gear is his. She congratulates Mickey when he does so.
Gilda is then seen on the bridge in OsTown after Mickey returns from Mickeyjunk Mountain. If Mickey found her axe and didn't break it to get into the Mt. Osmore Caverns secret diorama room, Gilda rewards Mickey with a Power Spark and 100 E-Tickets.
From then on, Gilda challenges Mickey to three more races; one in OsTown, one in Ventureland, and one in Bog Easy after Mickey returns from Mickeyjunk, Tortooga, and Lonesome Manor, respectively. Gilda rewards Mickey with a Power Spark every time.
During the battle with the Blot, she leaves the areas she was previously found in, heading to an unknown location, likely to hide from the Blot.
In Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two[]
Gilda appears in Epic Mickey's sequel on Mean Street South. After taking care of the Guardian Siphons in Autotopia, she will appear near the Ventureland projector. In the Epilogue, if they repair Autotopia, Gilda will challenge Mickey and Oswald to a time race, or a demolition derby.
Trivia[]
- It's unknown how Gilda got a Guardian interested in racing. Or how she even attracted it, for that matter.
- Gilda, being a goat who loves mountain climbing, might be a nod to the Alpine Climbers short, and the goats featured in the short. Tying into this, her axe is located in Mickeyjunk Mountain where Alpine Climbers are the projectors there.
- Gilda has a few glitches.
- Only in her Ostown race, but mashing A will cause the ability to redo her race, allowing you to get an extra power spark.
- Mashing the Thinner button at the end of any of her races will cause her to melt, leading her to give you a power spark while she sits unamusingly melted.
- In Autotopia Gilda's model is swapped with a Female Cows for unknown reasons.
