Mean Street North 1 — Gremlin Jamface talking to the heroes.

"GREMLIN JAMFACE- Jamface is Gus' right hand man, and inventor of the projector network that links the lands of Wasteland together. When something needs fixing, Jamface is usually there getting his hands dirty." -Epic Mickey Facebook page description

Jamface plays a semi-important role in this game as he replaces Gremlin Markus from the first game as caretaker of the projector screens. Jamface is first seen in the opening cutscene, where he is shown fixing a projector and later dances with some other residents as the Mad Doctor sings Help Me, Help You. He is also one of the few characters the Mad Doctor points at before he returns his gaze to Oswald.

Mickey and Oswald first encounter him personally as they enter the other side of Mean Street, where Jamface explains the strange events surrounding the projectors. He then meets you later near the statue, where he agrees to help you reach the D.E.C. if they give him enough Scrap Metal to repair the windmill. Before he helps you, however, he is shown to have a dislike for Gremlin Prescott, as noted by his tone when referring to him. He will then continuously request more Scrap Metal to help repair Mean Street.

Much later, he is found trapped in a snow globe in the Mad Doctor's Attic. Mickey and Oswald need to rescue him, though it is possible to leave him trapped. Here, he explains that he went looking for the missing Gremlins but became trapped when a Beetleworx grabbed him from behind and stuffed him in the snow globe. If Mickey and Oswald free him, he automatically opens the vault for them, positive the answer lies within it, as well as handing you the Ohana pin.

Jamface also gives the player the quest of freeing the captured gremlins throughout Wasteland including himself. If Mickey and Oswald doesn't save Gremlin Jamface he will refuse to talk with them for the rest of the game.

Graphic Novel[]

Jamface appears briefly in the Graphic Novel, he is called by Gus in order to know about the state of the Projector Screens, Jamface tells them that they need to go to OsTown and restore the projectors through the Rainbow Caverns. Unlike its game counterpart, he do not make mentions of the projectors being down before the quakes, suggesting he did not know about it in the Graphic Novel.

Jamface is later mentionned by Prescott where it is revealed that Prescott is slightly jealous of Jamface, for receiving the most of Gus' attention, and is the reason why he turned evil.
