* OlderThanTheyLook: The game goes with the interpretation that all cartoon characters are as old as their first cartoon, and given that Mickey's first cartoon was made in 1928.

* AdaptationalNonSapience: The original Phantom Blot was an intelligent criminal mastermind. With the character being drastically redesigned into an inarticulate monster and force of nature, the character received a name change late into production.

Originally the "Phantom Blot" from the ComicBook/MickeyMouseComicUniverse, [[EldritchAbomination the Shadow Blot]] is the game's main antagonist, a creation of Paint and Thinner that threatens [[CrapsackWorld the Cartoon Wasteland]].

The main [[{{Mook}} enemies]] of the game, & act as the Shadow Blot's army. Like the Shadow Blot, they're creations of Paint and Thinner.

* DarkIsNotEvil: If you use enough Paint on them.

* IdiotBall:
* WellIntentionedExtremist

Mechanical monstrosities created by the Mad Doctor, at first to help out to shape wasteland, but now into being the only inhabitants thanks to the Blot's rule of it.

The many, ''many'' infant children of Oswald and Ortensia that run around the Wasteland causing trouble.

* ChildrenForcedToKill: Played with -- Oswald has over 400 kids, he literally has his own personal army to fight the Blot with and they ''really'' don't like the Blotlings in the first game -- they actually seek them out and fight them, and sometimes swallow them whole in-game.

* AntiHero: And in an old concept, it changes his appearance; [[GoodIsNotNice Type III]] as Wastelander, [[WhatTheHellHero Type IV]]-[[SociopathicHero V]] as Scrapper.

* BreakoutCharacter: Warren Spector intended to use the game as a way to bring Oswald back in the limelight after remaining in obscurity for most of his history (due to Disney having lost the rights). His attempt was massively successful, as the game and it's success would lead to Oswald getting a ton of love by Disney again, receiving a appearance at the parks and his own store dedicated to him in Disney California Adventure, comics and even an upcoming animated series on Creator/DisneyPlus. The likes of which probably wouldn't had happened without ''Epic Mickey'' having boosted his popularity.

* DeadpanSnarker: His years of being forgotten has left him bitter and cynical, on top of being incredibly snarky to boot.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Ohhh yes. Just take a look at all of the monuments in Wasteland with Oswald's likeness. A particularly amusing example is the "[=OsTown=]" sign... it's just the word "Toontown" with the first two letters smashed and the 'N' turned on its side. [JustifiedTrope Justified]], as he really is a ButtMonkey.

* IncessantMusicMadness: The Clock Tower is generally agreed be attacking Mickey because he's gotten so fed up with hearing the "It's A Small World" song.

!! WesternAnimation/Pete

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: [[spoiler:At the end of the game, he gives back Mickey's heart to him]].

* TheRival: Created before Mickey, Oswald was always jealous of his "half-brother" for stealing what he felt should have have been his life.

* SmallNameBigEgo: Ohhhhhhhhhhh yes. Just take a look at all of the monuments in Wasteland with Oswald's likeness. A particularly amusing example is the "[=OsTown=]" sign... it's just the word "Toontown" with the first two letters smashed and the 'N' turned on its side.

* NiceJobBreakingItHero: If he hadn't messed around with Yen Sid's stuff, the Shadow Blot wouldn't exist.

!! The Petes

[[MickeyMouse Mickey's]] first companion, Gus is one of [[LaResistance the Gremlins fighting against]] [[BigBad the Shadow Blot]], and providing commentary and exposition for [[MickeyMouse Mickey]].

[[MickeyMouse Mickey's]] classic comrades appear as animatronic recreations made by the Mad Doctor so Oswald could have his own close friends. They're located in various hubs around Wasteland, who have been attacked and disassembled by the Mad Doctor's Beetleworx army.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: In contrast to his default look and the other outfits, his ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]'' look in ''The Power of Two'' changes his appearance to be based on his modern Fred Moore redesign as opposed to his classic PieEyed design, which can make him look jarringly out of place when juxtaposed against the classic-styled residents of Wasteland.

* NiceHat: She wears a tiny hat with a flower.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: Being Mickey's metaphysical older brother, it's kind of inevitable. UpToEleven in the sequel, where he's the other player character.

* NonStandardCharacterDesign: In contrast to his default look and the other outfits, his ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]'' look in ''The Power of Two'' is based on his modern Fred Moore design as opposed to his classic PieEyed design, which can make him look jarringly out of place against the other classic-styled residents of Wasteland, such as Oswald.

* ArtEvolution: In contrast to his default look and the other outfits, his ''[[WesternAnimation/{{Fantasia}} The Sorcerer's Apprentice]]'' look in ''The Power of Two'' is based on his modern Fred Moore design as opposed to his classic PieEyed design.
