Dark Beauty Castle[]

Mickey restores the broken-down machine in the observatory by painting the broken wires, is able to progress to Castle Entrance.
Mickey paints the spatters in the courtyard.

Mean Street South[]

Mickey can paint various thinned toon objects. This will turn the guardian pool into a paint state from Episode 2 onwards.
Mickey can buy a watch sketch from the Mean Street Emporium after enquiring with the Train Conductor. This will start the side quest, The Wasteland Limited. To fix the station, Mickey must stand on the block of suitcases in front of the train station, call Oswald, cast the watch sketch and quickly use the Co-op button to toss Oswald in the air. Oswald will then repair the clock. The repair to the train station is complete.
Mickey can restore the Mad Hatter's shop's power supply. It is just above the underground entrance. Mickey will need to paint the gears and have Oswald shock it. The fan in the next room starts working and the player gets a Gold Pin.

Mean Street Underground[]

If Mickey frees the Purple Gremlin trapped in the underground, the Gremlin builds balloons for the player to cross the large gap in the underground. Also, from then on, the purple gremlin is available to skip the underground and travel between the Mean Streets for 25 E-Tickets. The first ride is free.

If Mickey repairs the cinema's fuse box, the Usher gives some scrap metal. From Episode 2 onwards, the cinema can be used as a shortcut to travel to any destination with a projector. If the film reel is collected for a particular projector, Mickey does not need to pay. If not, the player will need to rent a film reel for 50 E-Tickets per each trip, going back to the cinema is free.
Once the player has enough scrap metal, it can be given to Gremlin Jamface to repair the windmill to the D.E.C (Dahl Engineering Corridor) entrance to OsTown. (Thinning out the support beams is the thinner path)

OsTown[]

The train station can be repaired using the fairy sketch and painting it in.
If Mickey recovers the three pumps for Goofy and ignores Prescott's suggestion, the thinner problem is almost solved. Goofy also gives the Pump It Up Pin, which is one of the collectible pins required for the first spirit.

Rainbow Falls[]

A Gremlin can be rescued inside a toon rock near the second water platform, leading to the indelible inkwell.

The Projector Substation[]

If Mickey repairs the substation using the paint path, Small Pete makes positive comments about the player and the projector to the angel side of Rainbow Caverns is unlocked.
- Mickey will need to first move the large pipe towards the pipe with blue fluid and connect the coupling. The gears on the opposite plate must be painted to give space to the pipe.
- Mickey should repair the thinner pipe by pulling the coupling.
- The player should use a watch sketch or paint the clock near the flying platform to slow down the fast-moving fan. This should give Mickey ample time to enter the room behind the fan. The lever of the pipe inside should be spun with a spin attack. The fan can be paused again by pulling the lever inside.

Angel Caverns[]

Painting the angel statue before taking a picture will lead to Gus making a positive comment about the photograph.

Disney Gulch[]

Mickey can paint the toon around the gulch and convert the main guardian pool into paint. Gus will make a positive comment about photographs taken from the picture spots.
If Mickey rescues the Green Gremlin in a small rock, above the large moving rock, the spatter pipes are stopped.

The Gulch Salon should be painted to open the door and retrieve the battery sphere for the train.
If Mickey retrieves all three battery spheres for the train, the Gulch bridge starts working with complete functionality and sprays paint onto the moving parts. This is the opposite of the inconvenience caused if only 1 battery sphere is taken, resulting in the moving parts being thinned out all the time. Mickey and Oswald will receive the When Elephants Fly pin for retrieving all three Battery Spheres.

Boss 1: Blotworx Dragon[]

There is a shortcut projector (The Old Mill V2) which can be unlocked by turning on the generator which is right of the rocker (car enemy). This will skip half the Blotworx Dragon's boss battle. A different animation will also play. Skip to line 4 if you took the shortcut projector.
If the main projector (The Old Mill V1) is taken, the fight starts with the Blotworx Dragon emerging. Mickey needs to paint the thinned parts, which reveal the first blotling. The blotling needs to be painted.
Next, the dragon's tail should be painted. This will reveal the second blotling. Painting the second blotling gives a path to reach the top of the Mad Doctor's Lab.
Painting the spatters on the top floor will prevent more from appearing and will allow the player to concentrate more on the dragon and the falling projectiles.
Painting the dragon's head and chest will reveal the final spatter. Painting the spatter that comes out of the dragon's chest will trigger the good ending for the boss.

After the cutscene, there is a thinnable wall to the immediate left of Mickey with a piece of the Tedworth's bear and a gremlin.
Painting all the Blotlings will help Mickey and Oswald please Ian. This also gets the Spatter Whisperer pin, required for awakening the Spirit of Compassion. Making sure Ian is fully pleased with your trip through Blot Alley is very difficult, if you make a mistake do not be afraid to exit and continue game before it saves.
- Taking EITHER the Paint or Thinner path in this visit to Blot Alley doesn't determine the final outcome of Ian's attitude towards Mickey and Oswald. He can change his mind if:
- Mickey paints all the spatters and Deloris in Fort Wasteland. (Good/Paint Path)
- Mickey thins all the spatters and Deloris in Fort Wasteland. (Bad/Thinner Path)
Tedworth's teddy bear pieces can be collected in Blot Alley. The Quests section of the pause menu displays how many pieces have been collected and those which haven't been collected yet. (Locations can be found on the quest page on the wiki, Horace's Assistant Assistance)

After this, the statues in the graveyard must be arranged. Woman on the heart, the bald man on the hat, the man with a hat on the bag and the man with the crazy hair on the ball. Gilbert's offer must be declined and the real gear must be given to Sparks. This will trigger the paint ending for this quest and Donald's boat will be made into a submarine.
A Friend in Deed: After talking to sparks who will be in front of the new house, he will give Mickey the deed to the house. The deed to the building should be given to Metarie.
