The Mean Street Underground is a level in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.
It might be based on the utilidors of the real world Disney Parks, and serves as a connection between Mean Street North and South after the quakes. The Underground's main entrance on Mean Street South is located next to Horace's Detective Agency, and the main entrance on Mean Street North is on the side of a cliff in a Gremlin hut.
After defeating the Blotworx Dragon, there will be some hovering platforms with Chests, each yielding Generic Pins.
Throughout the game, there are 6 secret entrances that need to be repaired with Scrap Metal or destroyed (this will close them). The scrap metal discount given by Jamface for the Operation Gremlin Drop quest applies to all of them. After the repairs, Mickey and Oswald can enter and fix up the machinery found inside, which will lead to special pins and restoration of areas on Mean Street.
All of them will be available for repair after visiting OsTown, except the trash compactor which will become unavailable after episode 1 and can only become available for repair after saving the gremlin in Blot Alley and beating Blot Alley.
The secret entrances are as follows:
The Robot Head[]
The Robot Head is in the center of Mean Street South, it costs 50 scrap metal to repair. Enter the robot head by jumping into the mouth. This will bring Mickey to a tunnel, to get past the pipes paint them in. Then shock the door outside to enter the underground. This will take Mickey and Oswald to the second Ventilation system, a giant fan. It can be repaired by flying around and painting in the 4 generators then shocking them. After repairing the other Ventilation system (accessed by the Fishead Hut) the handymouse pin can be retrieved at the chest fan (The chest will switch to a different pin if both fans are destroyed, if one is fixed and the other is destroyed it will give neither chest).
The Paint Tower[]
The Paint Tower is on top of the town hall in Mean Street South, it costs 40 scrap metal to repair. It will lead to a generator room, just pull the generator to one of the blue spots in the ground by painting in the valves. Then use a fairy Sketch to push the generator across the gap to the other blue spot, another way is thinning the fan and shocking it to go through the fan. This will give a chest with the Foreman pin at the exit.
The Trash Compactor[]
The Trash Compactor is above the Emporium it can be accessed from the dirt mound to the left of the emporium. It becomes available for repair after saving the gremlin in Blot Alley and beating Blot Alley. It costs 30 scrap metal to repair. Entering it will lead to the Oswald side of the pump, fill it with either paint or thinner then go to the other side (the ice cream shop gremlin hut side) and do the same thing. Shock the pump to reset it to switch out what its filled with. The door will open after filling the pump. If both pumps are filled with paint the chest fan will reward the player with the Fixer upper pin.
The Mean Street North Elevator[]
The Mean Street Elevator is in Mean Street North. It costs 50 scrap metal to repair. After it has been repaired just ride it to a door and shock the door to enter the underground. It will lead to another generator puzzle, pull it to the floating platform and shock it. Then pull the generator to the blue spot on the ground, this will open the exit, to get the pin wait for the gears to become flat and use thin it to stop it moving. Then use a fairy sketch to push the generator to the second blue spot. This will give a chest with the Urban Renewal pin at the exit.
The Ice Cream Shop Gremlin Hut[]
The Gremlin Hut is in Mean Street North on top of the Ice Cream Parlor. Unlike the other buildings it does not cost scrap metal to repair this building, instead spray paint into the funnel on the right side, then when the tank is full of paint shock it. After entering the hut, it will lead to the mickey side of the pump fill it with paint, shocking it will reset the pump allowing the player to put in either thinner or paint. If the other pump has already been filled the chest fan should stop and give a pin, the pin is dependent on whether the player has thinned or painted both pumps.
The Fishead Hut[]
The Fishead Hut is in Mean Street North, in the construction yard behind the windmill, it costs 50 scrap metal to repair. Entering it will take Mickey and Oswald to the first Ventilation system it can be repaired by painting and shocking the 4 generators. After repairing the other Ventilation system (accessed by the Robot Head) the handymouse pin can be retrieved at the chest fan (The chest will switch to a different pin if both fans are destroyed, if one is fixed and the other is destroyed it will give neither chest).

Trivia[]
- When the player looks at Mean Street North from Mean Street South, or vice versa, it is visible that the other half of Mean Street is very far away. However, the underground shows that it is merely separated by a river of thinner.
- The background music is the Thinner route version of OsTown from the first Epic Mickey.
- In early versions of the game there was going to be a turnstile from Mean Street South entrance that would take the player to the entrance of the main area of the underground, another turnstile was going take the player to Mean Street North entrance.
- In early versions of the game the player was supposed to enter the underground above the Hat Shop after they fix the shop's power.
