# The Dev Team Thinks Of Everything: You remember that urban myth about the Matterhorn? You know, the one about there being a hidden basketball court inside the mountain? Yeah guess what, it's actually IN the game in a hidden room on Mickeyjunk Mountain.
* You can also unlock access to Walt Disney's firehouse apartment on Main Street.
* That's not an urban myth. The urban myth is Walt Disney's brain being in it, which is NOT true. The basketball court is real.
# Actually, this game may be the Most Triumphant Example here, as, according to the dev team, every single detail is a Shout Out to some obscure bit of Disney history. Mickey's sidekick, Gus? He's from an unmade WWII cartoon by Roald Dahl. The NPCs on Mean Street? Extras from Classic Disney Shorts. Individual barrels? You'd better believe they turned up in one Disney project or another before showing up here. Shown Their Work doesn't begin to cover it.
# Mickeyjunk Mountain, an area built out of old Mickey merchandise, contains cartridges of old Mickey games on the NES and SNES.
# Pirate: "It's dangerous to go alone. Take this!"
# Shown Their Work: Besides including some of the more obvious theme park icons, some sketches even feature early Disneyland icons like the Moonliner and Clock of the Future. Not to mention that the whole game is about obscure characters (such as Smee from Peter Pan) coming back to the spotlight.
* The Gremlins are from an unmade World War 2 film, though were still used in some military unit insignia and comics.
* In at least one interview, Warren Spector mentioned that even such seemingly insignificant elements as individual barrels were taken from Disney history. THAT'S showing your work.
geht's euch auch so, dass einige Tracks der 2D-Stages euch nun im Kopf hängen bleiben? Steamboat Willie ist doch ein eiskalter Kulthit.
