Slalom is the first location of Gremlin Village in Epic Mickey. It serves as a behind-the-scenes maintenance/travel station for the rides nearby.

Story[]

Past[]

Sometime after the Thinner Disaster, much of the machinery in Slalom began malfunctioning, with Gremlin Tiestow trying to repair everything.

Epic Mickey[]

Upon exiting the Projector Screen, Mickey and Gus are introduced to Gremlin Tiestow who explains that someone sabotaged the door leading out of the room and will take Paint to fix it. Gus asures that the door is Gremlin made and asks Mickey if he can paint in two gears connected to the door for Tiestow. After opening the door, a Spatter is seen running away from the other side, and is spotted by Gus. Tiestow will either praise Mickey or scold him depending on if he painted the toon gears or broke the middle one, then asks him to fix the many leaky pipes. Tiestow will then promise to meet Mickey farther down the line before teleporting away. While going through the corridor, Gus spots the Spatter again before it retreats again.

After entering the last section of Slalom, the door suddenly shuts behind Mickey. Gus explains that the door is only supposed to seal unless there's an emergency and suspects that this is a trap. Gus' suspicions are confirmed when a Spatter enters from a Spatter Tube. A second one then shows up after either the first one was either redeemed or destroyed. After Mickey redeems or defeats the second Spatter, Tiestow shows up and tinkers with a valve that opens the doorway to the Ticket Booth. Gus spots Oswald peaking from the other side and questions if he was the one who set the trap.

Area Layout[]

Slalom is a series of rooms and corridors sectioned off with Gremlin-made doors. The first room visited contains a wall of gears that Mickey can interact with by either painting in two of them or destroying the middle one, and two large doors on both ends. The door on the opposite side of the Projector leads to a long winding corridor lined with many pipes and large gears lining the walls and floor. At the end of this corridor is a large room with a pit of Thinner and a large rotor with multiple platforms attached to it. to the left of the room's entrance is a platform with another Gremlin door leading to another corridor with many large pipes and a large green door at the very end.

Gameplay[]

After talking with Tiestow, Mickey will need to either paint in the two gears or spin attack the middle gear to open the door.

After continuing through the door and going around the corner, Mickey must paint the toon floors to avoid falling into the large gears underneath. Mickey must either thin a large toon gear or paint in a leaking pipe to navigate onward. Mickey will then need to paint in more toon floor to avoid the large gears while steam runs out of a pipe to the left. At the end of the corridor Mickey will need to do a double jump onto a one of the rotating toon platforms to get to the other door. Once inside, the door will shut and Mickey will have to either paint or thin a single Spatter. Once the first Spatter is dealt with, another will spawn and Mickey will have to fight it as well. Once the last Spatter is either redeemed or destroyed, Mickey can leave Slalom through the now opened green door.

If Mickey failed to patch at least one of the leaky pipes, then Mickey will have to avoid the steam from one last pipe near the end.

Quests[]

Patch Steam Pipes

Tips[]

Thinning the large toon gear will reward Mickey a white E-Ticket.

Extra Content[]

"Tunnels" can be found behind metal bars inside a large pipe in the last section. If Mickey completed the "Patch Steam Pipes" quest, then Gremlin Tiestow will clear the path to it.

Trivia[]

The door next to the Mickey and the Beanstalk Projector seems to indicate that there are other parts of Slalom not explored.
This is the first area where Mickey encounters Spatters.
Slalom is likely based on the Utilidors in the Disney Parks, and quite possibly related or connected to the D.E.C., with both being based on the Utilidors, and both being operated by Gremlins.
A Slalom is often referring to a ski race with a winding course filled with obstacles.
