The Moonliner Rocket is a rocket ship and major plot point in Epic Mickey. It is located in Tomorrow City's Space Voyage area. It is modeled after the real-life Moonliner in Tomorrowland at the Disneyland.
In Epic Mickey[]
After you get to the top of Mickeyjunk Mountain and complete the three challenges for the Ace of Deckers, you meet Oswald. He doesn't want Mickey here and he comes up with a plan to help Mickey escape Wasteland to launch the Moonliner Rocket in Tomorrow City up in the sky as Mickey can escape due to having a heart.
After Mickey and Gus make their way across Tomorrow City and entered the Space Voyage Area, they will meet up with Oswald and he will tell Mickey that the Mad Doctor sabotaged the rocket parts. He says the first piece is in the hands of Petetronic and that the next two are in Tortooga and Lonesome Manor. He will tell Mickey and Gus to meet him on Mickeyjunk Mountain, after he has retrieved all of the pieces.
Collecting the Rocket Pieces[]
Collect All Rocket Parts
Visit the quest page for more information on getting all the rocket parts.
- The first piece, the disc, will be received after you battled Petetronic. Depending on whether Mickey used Paint or Thinner, he will either give it to Mickey happily or drop it after getting derezzed.
- The second piece, the joystick, will be in Tortooga. You will be allowed to retrieve another part after dealing with Captain Hook on the Jolly Roger. The rocket part will be in the treasure chest that is behind a locked door that opens afterwards.
- The final piece, the fuel tank, will be in Lonesome Manor after defeating the Mad Doctor, being used to power his Snow Globe. Gus steals it from the machine causing it to malfunction and send the Doc high in the sky. He then tells Mickey to get back to Mean Street - so they can prepare for liftoff.
However, after Mickey gets all the parts, he has to deal with the Shadow Blot, a chain of events will occur that leads to real Blot to released and wreck havoc on Wasteland. After the Mickey, Oswald, and Gus return to Mean Street to discuss how to deal with the Blot, Mickey suggests using it as a weapon to crash into the Blot. While Oswald leaves for Space Voyage to fix the rocket, Mickey and Gus deal with the Bloticles
After Mickey returns to Space Voyage, the trio blast off to hit the Blot, who catches what they were doing and begins to drain the paint that fuels the rocket. This causes the trio to crash land into the Mad Doctor's Lab, where it is seen wrecked and on top of the entrance to Utilidor III. It is unknown what happens to the rocket after the Blot was defeated and Wasteland was restored, but it was presumably removed from the castle and back to Tomorrow City to repair it.
Trivia[]
- Despite its fairly large role in the first game, the Rocket is only mentioned by cameo appearances in Epic Mickey 2. Including as a sign in Autotopia and Tomorrow City being seen in the distance at Autotopia and on Yen Sid's model of Wasteland. It also appears on a pin available at Becca's in a black bag trade.
- It is implied that Oswald planned to use the Rocket to steal Mickey's heart for himself and leave Wasteland.
- According to Oswald, the reason why the ship's haul was made out of paint was due to budgeting issues.
