INTO THE UNDERGROUND
LEVEL OVERVIEW
The second trip through the Underground follows the same path as your first visit. You have to cross the great chasm of Thinner, but there are some extra rewards to be found this time.

Clear out the first room and collect the random loot chests in the area. Team up with Oswald to glide into the Thinner chasm. Just as in your first trip here, the chasm has air currents that keep you floating in the air.
Unlike your first visit, your second visit reveals some floating platforms with red chests.
Silver Pin
Land on the right floating platform and open up the red chest to receive a Silver Pin.
Glide off the platform into one of the air currents. Stay still in the current and let it blow you straight up.
Silver Pin
Once you have enough altitude, head toward the floating platform on the left side of the chasm. Here you’ll find a red chest with another Silver Pin
After you have opened both chests on the floating platforms, glide over to the Mean Street North side of the Underground. Take care of any enemies and continue your journey in Mean Street North. The rest of the walkthrough for the Underground covers the side rooms that you access from repaired buildings across Mean Street.
In the Bridge Room, you need to activate the giant fan in the middle of the room. To achieve this, you must repair several machines around the room. Start off by having Oswald shock the console at the starting location.
This activates the fan, but it only has a small amount of power. The fan blades rise temporarily, allowing you to time a jump across to the next platform to the left.
At each platform, you have to paint a machine on the back wall. Make sure to paint the entire thing, including the gears near the floor.
After Mickey paints the machine, Oswald can shock the nearby console to send more power to the fan.
The next ledge is too far to jump to, so team up with Oswald to glide over to the ledge where the Transport Tubes are.
You can jump from the Transport Tubes to the next ledge and collect the golden Cloth.
Paint the last two machines and have Oswald use the consoles on the last two platforms. Once the final machine has been activated, the fan gets juiced up to full power and the blades fully extend.
Hop over to one of the restored fan blades and ride it back over to the ledge with the Transport Tubes. You can return to the surface from here. Use the entrance in Mean Street North to enter the other side of the Bridge Room. The other side of the Bridge Room can be repaired using the same method.
Handymouse Pin or Eradicator Pin
Once both sides have been restored, you gain access to the red chest in the center that randomly contains either the Handymouse Pin or Eradicator Pin.
Enter the first half of the Widget Room from the repaired building on top of the Fire Station in Mean Street South. Jump above the hole near the start to get the floating golden Cloth.
OPTIONAL QUEST
FINDING THE HIDDEN HEROES
Look for a hidden Mickey icon on the wall behind the steam pipes.
Drag the widget box to one of the blue squares in the room. The square behind the steam vents only opens the door, while the one behind the fan also rewards you with a red chest.
Have Oswald activate the console near the fan to shut it down.
Once the fan shuts down, thin out the blade. Grab the widget box and drag it through the opening in the fan.
Continue to drag the widget box to the blue square just inside the fan, and it will dock.
Foreman Pin
Once the widget is in place, the door opens and a red chest with the Foreman Pin waits next to the Transport Tubes.
Use the entrance from Mean Street North to reach the other side of the Widget Room. You must bring the widget box to one of the blue squares in the room.
A floating transport platform is docked near the starting area. Drag the widget over to the transport platform and have Oswald activate the console to shift across the room.
The blue square near the door rewards you with a red chest, so that is the target. Thin out the gear of the spinning platform nearest to the door to make it stop spinning. Try to get it in a relatively flat position, then drag the widget on to it.
Next, cast the Fairy Sketch on the widget and push it over to the last platform. Slide the widget into place on the blue square after it lands.
OPTIONAL QUESTS
FINDING THE HIDDEN HEROES
Look for a hidden Oswald icon on the switch.
One of the vault doors is a hidden Mickey icon, and the other is a hidden Oswald icon.
Urban Renewal Pin
The door now grants you access, and you can open the red chest for the Urban Renewal Pin. Use the Transport Tubes to exit once you’ve collected it.
The last side room in the Underground is the Vault Room, named for the huge vault in the middle.
The machine next to the vault has two tanks and a funnel. Spray either Paint or Thinner into the funnel to fill one of the tanks. When one of the tanks fills up, the vault opens and shows you two spinning chests. To gain access to one of the chests, you must enter the opposite side of the vault from the other Mean Street side and fill the tank on that side with the same liquid. You can only get one of the chests, so choose wisely.
Fixer Upper Pin
If you fill both machines with Paint, you will be rewarded with the Fixer Upper Pin.
Demolition Expert Pin
If you fill both machines with Thinner, you get the Demolition Expert Pin instead.
If you make a mistake, you can use Oswald to reset the machine.
Exit the Vault Room and collect the golden Cloth.
Now that you have completely explored the Underground, take the Transport Tubes up to Mean Street North.
