Shut Down the Valves is a quest in Tomorrow City Lagoon.
Summary[]
To open the path to the Great Big Tomorrow, Mickey must find a way to shut off the thinner fall and open the door. Mickey has two ways of doing this: finding and spinning four of the seven gears hidden or saving Gremlin Wilco.
Shutting it off manually[]
To shut off the thinner blocking the door and open the way to the Great Big Tomorrow, Mickey will have to spin four of the seven gears located around the entrance. However, spinning the gears will cause thinner to come from the pipes in different places
- The first gear is found right next to the thinner fall and can be seen from the start of the level. Spinning this gear will cause the leaking pipes to the left of this gear to start a thinner fall that goes across the platform.
- The second gear is to the left of the first, follow the wall and it can be seen above a toon box. Spinning this gear will cause a bunch of machinery to fall down and create a platform and allow Mickey to get to the second floor.
- The third gear is underneath the toon hiding one of the pipes. The toon patch can be seen going from one of the leaking pipes, across the left wall, and then onto the floor. Thin this toon to reveal the gear. Spinning this one will suspend a block of machinery in midair, allowing Mickey to reach a nearby cliff.
- The fourth gear is under a patch of toon on the second floor next to the thinner fall. Thin the toon and Mickey can spin this gear. This gear will cause thinner to be sprayed at a toon platform on the third floor, making it harder to get across.
- The fifth gear is on the other side of the thinner fall on the second floor, there is a toon wall that Mickey can thin to reveal the gear. Spinning it will cause more thinner to be sprayed at another toon platform on the third floor.
- The sixth gear is on the first floor to the right of the thinner fall, it can be seen next to the inert block on the floor. Spinning it will cause the inert block to float in midair, just be careful of the thinner spray.
- The seventh gear is on the far right wall in-between two toon metal brackets, but if Mickey thins all of the toon it will be harder to save Gremlin Wilco. It's best to jump at the gear and spin it instead of thinning the toon.
Once four of the gears are spun, the doors to the Great Big Tomorrow will open. Spin all seven and the thinner fall will be diverted to the left and right sides of the first floor.
If Gremlin Wilco is freed after the gears have already been spun, he will stop the flow of thinner on the first floor, but won't stop the thinner spray.
Saving Gremlin Wilco[]
Gremlin Wilco is located on the east wall of the lagoon. To reach him, Mickey will have to jump across the platforms on the third floor to reach the raised platforms. After saving Wilco, he will open the door to the Great Big Tomorrow and shut off the thinner fall. If you thin the toon brackets keeping the second platform upright, it will fall, making it seemingly impossible to reach and free Gremlin Wilco. However, if you dash at the very edge of the nearest platform to Wilco and space out your double jumps and spin attack mid-air you can still cross the gap and free Wilco.
