The Piles is the second explorable level of Mickeyjunk Mountain.
In Epic Mickey[]
After leaving the Alpine Climbers Projector Screen, Mickey arrives at the bottom of a bobsled tube, part of a broken ride that used to be the main attraction of the mountain. Here the player receives the quest "Ascend the Mountain." Mickey faces three Hoppers before ascending the tube, and climbing up to a room with Spladooshes and a Pump in it.
If the player has skipped both the Ticket Booth and Open the Gate quests, then this will be their first experience with a Paint and Thinner Pump. If the pump is filled with Paint, a door will be opened to a conveyor belt originally designed to construct Beetleworx, but now is used for cleaning up Mickey Mouse merchandise. If Thinner is used on the Pump, a door will open to the outside, and the upper levels of the once Beetleworx factory.
Both routes through the factory lead to the same area, where Mickey must cross a large pool of Thinner to get to the Projector leading to the next part of the mountain. In this area, there are giant claws cleaning up Mickey merchandise, which Mickey must shut down so he can use them to get to the other side.
There are two ways to do this: The first option is to dial on the telephone a number found in a phone book in The Heaps, that being 5-1-2. The code will shut down the claws so they become stationary, and Mickey can parkour across them to the other side of the Thinner pool. The second option is, if the player used Thinner on the pump earlier, they will find an area with Gremlin Ronald in a cage that they can break him out of. Upon being freed, he will shut down the claws for Mickey. After reaching the other side of the large Thinner pool, Mickey can enter the Projector Screen to Mt. Osmore Slopes.
Hints[]
- After using Thinner on the Paint and Thinner Pump, Mickey must cross an array of gear-shaped pistons going up and down. The player must ride the second last piston all the way down to a snowy platform housing a Treasure Chest with a Pin.
- Before crossing the large Thinner pool, the player can hop across several blocks floating in it and reach the piece of Extra Content on the final one.
- Once Mickey reaches the other side, on the upper area there is a small room with a Pin.
- In Epic Mickey: Rebrushed, if Paint was used on the Paint and Thinner Pump, Mickey can still free Gremlin Ronald by using the nearby phone. By dialing 0-3-3 on the phone pad, Gremlin Ronald's cage will be lowered to the ground.

Trivia[]
- There is a glitch where, on the upper area of the Projector Screen side of the Thinner pool, Mickey can jump on top of the wall next to the claws, and climp up to an area above the Beetleworx factory. It may be difficult to jump onto the wall, but after a few tries, Mickey is sure to make it. This area was not designed for exploration, but for some reason, there is collision here. And it gives the player a good view of the Piles.
- This is the only level where two enemies are introducted, those being the Hoppers and Spladooshes.
