The Pipe Organ
The Pipe Organ is a character in Epic Mickey who appears in the Ballroom of Lonesome Manor.
The Lonesome Ghosts couldn't stand his playing, so they fled to Bog Easy. One of the ghosts (Gabriel) gives Mickey the "Pipe Organ Madness" Quest, asking him to calm the organ down.
When Mickey reaches the Organ, the song playing and raising the pipes prevents him from reaching the Projector Screen to the Attic. The Organ asks Mickey to help him by playing a minigame. If Mickey helps him play his song, he will calm the pipes and he can cross to the Attic and be rewarded with the Play a Tune Pin.
Another option is to destroy his keys with Thinner but doing so will make some of the Organ's pipes permanantly block access to the exit, plus he will have to fight two Tanker spawners. Mickey will have to use the possessed tables in the area to reach the exit. Later on, The Lonesome Ghosts will give Mickey Donald's Torso if he fixed the Pipe Organ.
Quotes
That's what you get if you help him.
Helping him play his tune
- "I'm glad to hear it. Help finish my song by jumping on the notes I provide."
- "Thank you, Mickey, you are a real hero. Take this pin and farewell."
That's what you get if you destroy his keys.
Destroying the keyboard
- "I don't like that."
- "I will be forced to defend myself if you don't stop."
- "Mortal! Those keys are my very soul!"
- "Break any more and you will know my wrath."
- "You broke my keyboard! Now how will I play my song?!"
- "That's it! Now I'm really steamed!"
- "You were warned. Beetleworx! Attack!!"
Trivia
- Even if his song has been played, it is still possible to destroy the keyboard. But this would mean that the work put into helping him will be gone.
- The Pipe Organ's mentioning of the keys of his keyboard being his soul could be a possible reference to lesser-known Disney villain Forté, except Forté's keyboard served as the source of his own musical dark magic in addition to keeping him alive.
- If you jump onto the broken pipes and slow down time with a Watch Sketch, you can climb the broken pipes to the Projector Screen, as time will be slowed down and the pipes won't snap.
- The Pipe Organ has at least some control over Beetleworx, as he is able to summon them if Mickey destroys his keyboard.
