The Remote is a main story object in Epic Mickey and one of the two main weapons in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two.

It functions as Oswald's counterpart to Mickey's paintbrush, and can be used in a variety of ways. It fires electricity to power consoles and can also stun enemies and reprogram machines.


Oswald uses the remote in order to aid Mickey during his second trip in Wasteland: it can be used both for fighting and for interacting with electronic objects.


Gameplay/2D Cut-scenes

In-game, the remote is about the size of a calculator. It resembles a silver box with a green radio frequency, a round antenna, and a big red button in the center.

  • This remote is the same one used to ignite the fireworks to defeat The Blot at the end of the first Epic Mickey.
  • It is unclear how the remote can operate multiple functions using only one button.
