Is this a remake or a remaster?

It is a full remake. Purple Lamp rebuilt the visuals and controls and added new movement skills, while keeping the original story and levels.

Do I need to have played the original?

No. The story stands alone, and the remake is aimed at newcomers as much as returning fans.

How does the paint and thinner system work?

Paint restores objects and scenery, thinner removes them. Both open different paths and affect how the story ends.

It is a family-friendly platformer with cartoon violence and no realistic content. Younger players may need help with some camera-heavy sections.

How does the Switch version compare with other consoles?

It has the same content, but runs at a lower resolution and frame rate than the PlayStation, Xbox and PC versions.

Does it include the original game?

No. It is the rebuilt version only, not a bundle with the 2010 release.

Our take on the Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed

A 3D platformer remake of the 2010 Wii game, with Mickey exploring Wasteland, a realm of forgotten Disney characters. The paint and thinner brush lets you restore or erase parts of the world, and your choices shift the story. Purple Lamp rebuilt the visuals and tightened the controls, adding dash, ground pound and sprint. It suits platformer fans and Disney nostalgia, though it stays a faithful remake rather than a full reinvention.

About the Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed

Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is a 3D platformer and a remake of the original game. Mickey Mouse travels through Wasteland, a realm of forgotten Disney characters. Levels are classic platforming stages inspired by animated films and shorts.

Mickey uses a magic brush with two tools. Paint restores the environment, and thinner alters it and uncovers hidden secrets. These choices influence Mickey's destiny and the outcome of the story. Along the way, players meet characters such as Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, collect virtual Disney pins, and take on creative challenges.

The game was originally envisioned by Warren Spector and reimagined by Purple Lamp. This version has updated visuals and improved controls. Mickey also gains new movement skills: dash, ground pound and sprinting.
