Skull Island is one the penn-ultimate area in Pirates of the Wasteland that Mickey Mouse visits in Epic Mickey. It is the location of the Pirate Conversion Machine and Pete Pan after Hook took the Sprite away.
As the name would imply, Skull Island is a large island with a skull-shaped rock formation. Several wrecked ships are layed around the edges alongside smaller islands and caves. The skull-like rock can be scaled up by jumping across the platforms, which gives Mickey a view of the entire area.
Gameplay[]
Mickey fighting Blotlings and Beetleworx on Skull Island
After traversing through Tortooga, Mickey travels to Skull Island to deal with a machine that's turning Animatronic Captain Hook's pirate crew into robots. Mickey has three choices: filling the tanks with Thinner which destroys the machine, filling them with Paint, reversing the process, or Mickey can downright ignore them or jam the machine entirely. If Mickey ignores or jam the machine, not only will the pirates stay in Ventureland but Smee wont give Mickey the last Animatronic Daisy part. However this will open up more choices and quests for Mickey in Ventureland. If Mickey goes down the Paint Path and turns them back into pirates, a Treasure Chest for Mickey to fill in with paint at the machine awaits. Not only that, this will also unlock a special cutscene of the three pirates shown earlier in Smee's flashback returning back to their non-robotic selves, who happily hug each other before comically playing it off. Alternatively, if Mickey used Thinner on the pumps and destroy the machine, the robots won’t be able to turn back to normal. However, Smee will still give Mickey the Daisy part.
At the very top of the skull-like rock is a powerless Pete Pan, alongside another Animatronic Daisy part.
Mickey must also find and thin out 3 anchors, which are hidden in cave islands near main island, in order to free Smee's ship. This allows Mickey to ride to the Jolly Roger and face Animatronic Captain Hook. To make his task easier, he should deal with the various Blotlings strung throughout the shores.

Trivia[]
- The island is based off of Skull Rock from Peter Pan, as well as possibly the now-defunct Skull Rock Restaurant in Disneyland.
- In concept art, Skull Rock was depicted with Oswald's head. This may have been the toon version of the skull before the thinner disaster swept away the paint, removing the "skin", as it were, and leaving behind the "bone".
- The musical cues that plays when the boat's flags are raised is heavily inspired by "He's A Pirate", one of the main themes of the Pirates of the Caribbean film series.
- At the peak of the island, Gus will comment on how beautiful the view once was before the Thinner Disaster.
