Mickeyjunk Mountain early (found by Pokey) :http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/11858865
Run through Mickeyjunk Mountain (game time :56 minutes but has many deaths):http://www.ustream.tv/recorded/11900287
Since Christmas Pokey (holder of the SDA OOT record) and I have been trying to break Epic Mickey, which is a great game. I just beat it and I think we can get the time down under 2:45 easy, maybe sub 2:30 with some luck. I am hoping on doing a segmented run sometime relatively soon (I don't have anywhere close to the time to do a single segment run). We already have found quite a few tricks, I found a lot of text skips in the beginning of the game and made the route. And Pokey found the clip through the Ostown gate into Mickeyjunk Mountain (saves about 2 minutes). I have spent a lot of time on the route and its probably not perfect but here are some of my comments on specific glitches and my route.
15 power sparks: I spent a lot of time looking through my hardcover guide (which is a huge help) and I believe I found the fastest 15 power sparks possible to collect, although there might be some more power sparks just waiting to be collected that I don't know about since the guide does not tell you where these are (such as the one on top of mickeys house). When I do my test run I will see how much money can easily be gotten using the route which effects how many are bought, but it should be pretty easy to get money since if you spin a box/ticket Holder it will follow you after it appears.
Mickeyjunk Mountain early: This isn't a huge skip, but Pokey found it relatively easy and hopefully there are other areas like this in the game. We are not exactly sure how this works yet, although to do it I center the camera towards the crack and jump with mickey facing different directions, I can usually get it within a minute now, and this will be the start of a segment in the segmented run to insure getting it quickly.
Fighting the Blot skip: This trick I “found” while browsing the Gamefaqs forum (gamefaqs.com/xxx), and it is this biggest skip we have so far (although I have not performed it yet). To perform the glitch you need to ignore the pirate spawning machine before Hook (which a speedrun would do anyway), and then later in the game after beating the mad doctor in the haunted mansion area, you come back to mean street and get the quest to go talk to Oswald again at the top of Mickeyjunk Mountain. If at that point you go back into Ventureland/?Bog Easy? and complete some quests (testing will need to be done to know exactly what needs to be done to trigger it) when you go back to mean street the “Battle for Mean Street” quest will be active and the Bloticle will be in the center of town. After killing the Bloticle you can continue the game from that point (although if you try going to Ostown you will get stuck in “Thru the mirror” forever since the game crashes as you go to Ostown, and the game autosaved in the mirror stage). This probably saves about 5-10 minutes (going through a couple 2d levels and Ostown/talking to Oswald, the battle in Ostown quest, and most importantly fighting the blot which is a long/boring/tedious/ and annoying fight).
2d levels: Under all the 2d levels in my route i put “best time:” This is because I’ll be timing myself during practice to see how fast I can beat them for my reference. I will also put the best time overall next to mine if somebody has a faster time than me (and that persons name). However all the levels should be timed like this for consistency. Start the timer when Mickey is gone after jumping into the entry screen, and stop time when he jumps into the exit screen.
Let me know if you have any suggestions for my route or any help finding glitches. I am also open to racing Epic Mickey on #speedrunslive as it is good practice (although I am really busy right now, so we will probably need to set up a date). Also I know the game autosaves all the time which will make segmenting difficult, but what I can do is after each segment is copy the save to an SD card and then before every attempt replace the save. It’s a bit tedious but it should work.
