THE ENTRANCE
LEVEL OVERVIEW
You catch up with Oswald, Ortensia, and Gus in Dark Beauty Castle. After a brief hello, the problems assailing Wasteland speed up your discussion. The earthquakes plaguing the land are bringing down the very walls around you! Together, Mickey and Oswald must work their way through the castle to the train station and escape from the collapsing castle.

Oswald joins Mickey, and now both heroes can work together to save Wasteland. As you move down the entrance corridor, a big quake caves in the floor ahead. Use Mickey’s jumping skills and Oswald’s gliding skills to cross the divide. Before you do, though, Spin Attack the suits of armor lining the walls for extra resources.
Jump down to the platform on the left side of the collapsed corridor. Get a running start and leap up to the ledge on the other side, either with a double-jump for Mickey or a jump and Helicopter Glide for Oswald.
Ortensia leads you through the next chamber and pleads with you to hurry. Once you’re both across, follow her into the chamber and down the right corridor.
Alas, before you can reach Ortensia, the corridor falls apart and cuts you off. Ortensia will have to make her own way to the train station, while you both continue to follow Gus as he provides hints for each step of your journey.
Return to the spot under the first hanging wooden platform (the one closest to where you started). There’s a secret chest up on that platform that you want to raid before continuing. Have Oswald toss Mickey up in the air; Mickey needs to perform a double-jump to land on the wooden platform. Open the red chest for your reward: a costume piece, the Steamboat Willie Hat.
Costume Piece
STEAMBOAT WILLIE HAT
You can gain a second costume piece up on the wooden platform in the collapsing chamber where you’re forced to part ways with Ortensia. Perform a co-op toss so that Mickey or Oswald land on the wooden platform chained high up near the ceiling. Open the red chest for the Steamboat Willie Hat.
Gus explains that you need to get up on the broken balcony so that you can reach the landing above it. Have Mickey toss Oswald into the air and he’ll fly over and land on the balcony. As soon as he does, the whole thing falls apart and leaves a series of rubble steps behind.
Double-jump up the rubble to reach the top level and the exit door.
The door won’t open unless both gears are spun at the same time. Position Mickey and Oswald on opposite sides and perform simultaneous Spin Attacks. The door opens and grants access to the control room area beyond.
