The Mad Doctor's Ride (or the Mad Doctor's New Attraction) is both, a location and a ride that appears in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two and acts as the multi-phased final boss of the game. The ride itself works as a doomsday machine for Wasteland as it can pull the Guardians out of Wasteland, leaving everything in an inert state as a result. Although it looks like a Roller Coaster with masks for decorations and a Thinner pool in the middle.
First phase[]
The icon for the achievement, "You Must Be This Tall to Ride"
The first phase of the Mad Doctor's Ride is a Mechanical Claw controlled by the Mad Doctor. It possesses three attacks: a powerful smash, electricity orbs launched in a quick succession and finally, he can grab Mickey and throw him into the thinner pool. The battle takes place on several platforms that move in a spinning motion. Sometimes, the boss's attacks will thin the platforms, but Mickey can make them reappear by using paint. The boss doesn't have a pattern. Thinning or painting the eye in the center of the claw is required to either befriend or defeat the claw.
Paint Path[]
To befriend the claw, Mickey will have to paint in the claw when possible. After the claw is befriended, it will volunteer to take Mickey and Oswald to the second boss battle.
Thinner Path[]
To destroy the claw, Mickey will have to thin out its eye when it is vulnerable. When the claw is defeated, it falls down onto the platform and knocks Mickey and Oswald into a thinner whirlpool for the second boss battle. Doing this also skips the first part of the Mad Doctor’s Spider fight.
Second phase[]
Mickey and Oswald fighting the Mad Doctor
Once Mickey and Oswald are knocked or carried into the thinner whirlpool by the Mechanical Claw, Mickey and Oswald face the second boss: a giant mechanical arachnid (the Spider). Mickey must either thin or paint the masks that are positioned on the top of machine. Once the masks start spinning, Oswald can zap all the masks to make them slow down. When there’s only half of the masks left, the thinner pool surrounding the area will start to rise. Leading Mickey and Oswald to jump on the platforms nearby, once they're safe, the second part of the boss fight will start. When all the masks are painted in/thinned out, the boss will fall down, and the Endgame Cutscene starts.
Mickey and Oswald can go back to the inside part of the ride in the Epilogue by taking the projector screen that went to Tomorrow City in the first game. Once the Mad Doctor's Ride has been defeated, Mickey and Oswald are free to explore and revisit other worlds to retrieve collectibles they haven't collected yet.

Trivia[]
- Strangely, in the Wii version of the game, the music track for this area is missing several instruments during the boss fight, making it sound almost completely different than it does when you revisit the area after completing the game. The exact reason for this is unknown.
- The ride can be seen being progressively build, behind the train station of Mean Street South.
