Gremlin Village

Early artwork for Gremlin Village.

Gremlin Village (known as World of Gremlins as a whole) is a level of the Wasteland that is made up of the remains of the "It's a Small World" attraction and various elements of Fantasyland. There are a few theme park rides in the village like the Dumbo Flying Elephant ride and a spinning teacup ride. The Clock Tower also lives in Gremlin Village as a friendly resident. The village appears to be steam powered.

Mickey can gather missions or items from the Gremlins living here.

In Playthrough

Mickey starts in the Slalom area of Gremlin Village, where he must paint a gear to open a door and paint up to 4 steam pipes for Gremlin Tiestow. Next up is a theme park-like (despite the fact that Wasteland itself is made out of theme parks) place. In this area Mickey must help Gremlin Tim by defeating the enemies that have him trapped in the Tickey Booth and by repairing the teacup ride and elephant ride. Next up is the Jungle Boat Ride, this part of Gremlin Village is where Mickey must free up to 4 trapped gremlins not only to have a fight less with Sweepers but also to get a Silver Pin hidden in a chest. In the room that seperates the Jungle Boat Ride from the Asian Boat Ride you will meet Small Pete who will give you a quest where you have to find his log in the crashed boat at the main part of Gremlin Village (just following the Asian Boat Ride). In the Asian Boat Ride you can raise the fire bridge, restore the magic carpet ride, free three gremlins, and finally open the door leading to the main part of Gremlin Village. In the Village you have to paint Gus' House, restore the pipe system, get Small Pete's log from his crashed boat, free a trapped gremlin, restore the Village Clock, and open the door leading to the European Boat Ride. In the European Boat Ride, you have two options for to attractions: Use the gears in the Tower of Pisa to repair the thinner whirlpool or shake the pedestals near the Tower to knock it down to form a bridge. For the Eiffel Tower you can ride the clouds or go to the top of the tower and melt the toon supports for it to fall and form a bridge. The main objective is to reach the Colosseum to meet with Small Pete. After that you will face the Clock Tower and by defeating or redeming it you will get to Mean Street.

Notes

• There's a Bronze Pin hiding in Gus' House after painting it back in.
• The Dialouge of the Gremlins change if you use Paint or Thinner on the splatters in both areas.
• Using Paint on all the leaking pipes in Slalom warrants you the Extra Content of "Tunnels".
• In the Ticket Booth area, you are given the first Paint or Thinner pump. Using Paint gets the Teacup ride to work normally again and Tim will reward you by opening the door to the Treasure room under the pump room that has a Bronze Pin. Use Thinner and the umbrella above the Tea Cup ride will drop and the ride will never work again, but it allows access to the chest on top of it which carries a gold ticket.
• In the Jungle Boat Ride, there's a chest which seems impossible to get. If you fill in all the gears with paint instead of using them to get up to the upper floor, not only will the chest be lowered, but it'll start up an easier way to get up to the upper level.
• Freeing all the Gremlins in the Jungle Boat Ride gives you not only one less fight with Sweepers, but also a chest with a silver pin. Miss just one and you'll never get it.
• In the first room of the Jungle Boat Ride, you must either paint back the hippos or thin the pipes. If you paint back the hippos, it will open it's mouth, allowing you to get the White E-Ticket (10 E-tickets) inside the next room.
• Showing Small Pete's ship log to Bennet will make Small Pete friendly to you and he'll open a treasure room and the exit once you meet him again. Give the log to Shaky and you'll get the "Gremlin" Pin and a three stage fight with blotlings once you meet back up with Small Pete.

Trivia

• Gremlin Village was originally shown to be one of the largest (if not the largest) level in Wasteland, as it was the setting for almost all of the game's beta screenshots (with three exceptions from Dark Beauty Castle).
• Speaking of beta screenshots, in them, the World of Gremlins was mostly based off of Disneyland Tokyo (or the Japanese part of the It's a Small World ride in general), as much of the scenery (the picture above, for example) was strongly Japan-like. More variety and the actual ride were added later.
• Originally, Gremlin Village was shown and described as being in fairly good shape as opposed to the other locations in the game, however when the game came out, Gremlin Village was shown to be dark with many malfunctioning rides with the river the boats run on being made of Thinner.
• Out of all the worlds in the game, Gremlin Village comes the closest to the early steampunk based concept art that was leaked to the internet (however it's still not nearly as scary).
• Also, the Epic Mickey Game Informer November Issue claims that by entering the inner workings of the small world attraction, the small world theme would be playing in a disturbing backwards way. While you can go behind the scenes occasionally, the regular music for the area plays but if you ride the boats themselves then you will hear a version of the small world theme.

Here's another piece of early artwork for the World of Gremlins.

These next dozen or so pictures are beta screenshots. In this first one, Mickey's entering a new place.

Mickey's about to fight a Spatter, and the latter doesn't seem to like his chances.

Quite a few things are going on here. Mickey's painting a Spatter, activating a Watch Sketch, and being threatened by a Bunny Kid.

In this one, "Hero" Mickey is jumping to a platform to collect a green E-Ticket.

Mickey's jumping off a platform. I think that's Small Pete's blimp in the background.

Mickey's running away from a couple of Spatters.

Mickey's splashing paint down and about to fight two Spatters.

This next shot is of "Scrapper" Mickey. As for what he's doing, your guess is as good as mine. He's activated a Watch Sketch, as seen on the left.

Hero Mickey is shooting some Paint at the camera.

Seriously! Small Pete steers a steamboat reminiscent of Steamboat Willie, and he was supposed to attack Mickey in a giant zeppelin! That thing on the left (upside down for some reason) just has to be Small Pete's zeppelin!

Mickey's running from the scrapped Tanker.

Mickey and a Tanker are charging each other in this one. There's also some platforms in the upper right. One of them has a green E-Ticket.

Apparantly, Mickey's doing the Spin Attack on another Tanker. There are some platforms in the upper right.

If you've been wondering what the Hades/Car-type Tanker looks like thinned, here ya go!

Here, we have Scrapper Mickey jumping across some Thinner. Oh, look, he left a Gremlin in his cage. Typical Scrapper.

This last shot is Warren's favorite. He won't tell us what Mickey's looking at, but there are a lot of options here. Options concerning that Spatter, the hut in the center, the partly-erased platform, and the E-Ticket.

another shot of the final version of Gremlin Village. This should give you a better idea of what the world is like
