Quests that can be failed in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two[]
Due to how quests are reworked in this entry, quests are usually failed by doing a bad choice or by mixing the two paths. Unlike the first game, there is no pop-up stating when a quest is failed.
- Donald's Date - Mickey and Oswald left Bog Easy before completing the quest, sold the real gear to Gilbert or gave the fake gear to Gremlin Sparks.

- Horace's Assistant Assistance - Scurvy Pat is thinned to take Barnacle Jones' compass, instead of taking his photo.
- Clothes Make the Spatter - Ian is angered by thinning the Spatters in Fort Wasteland or Blot Alley (after Episode 2) by going around Blot Alley without painting the Spatters, before the quest is completed.
Expired Quests[]
| “ | There is no longer an opportunity to complete this quest. | ” |
–Quest Log, Epic Mickey: Rebrushed | ||
Similarly, some quests will be marked as "expired" if Mickey does not complete a quest by the time he progresses past the possible point in time in which he could complete them or does not turn in his quest to the quest giver before progressing a certain point in the story regardless whether or not he completed it. While they can still be seen in the Quest Log, unlike Failed Quests, expired quests cannot be selected to view a more detailed description of it's objective alongside their quest items.
Expired Quests do not have a pop-up at the bottom of the screen informing the player that the quest has expired, unlike failed quests.

Trivia[]
- Mickey will always have at least one failed quest in Epic Mickey, because of the two quests; "Recover Louis' Courage" & "Help Gilbert Scare Someone"; it is not possible to complete both in one playthrough, under developer-intended circumstances.
- This can be prevented by immediately thinning Louis' lamp after you get to Bog Easy.
- In Rebrushed, Mickey is guaranteed to have an unavoidable expired quest, "The Leaning Tower", if he enters the European Boat Ride via the shortcut Projector Screen provided by Gremlin Ditto in the World of Gremlins, as the quest will be marked as expired before Mickey even obtains it. This does not occur in the original game.
- In the original game, Confront Petetronic, will still give you a special pin if you failed it. Alongside Pipe Organ Madness and A Pirate's Love in Rebrushed.
- With the exceptions of Return Home and Collect Film Reels, any active quests remaining in the Quest Log by the time Mickey returns to Mickeyjunk Mountain to confront the Shadow Blot will be marked as "Expired" for the remainder of the playthrough.
