After I beat the game I went looking through the games cutscenes, and when I saw the cutscene where Oswald starts asking Mickey if he's done anything else wrong, one of the things he asks is "Brain-Swapping?"

Reference to 'Runaway Brain'?

most of those references I've noticed, but there's a few that interest me!

The only one I didn't know of on that list was the Old Mill, and I suspected that one. Wonder if there is any signifigance to the Gremlin atop its name?

There are two instances of Gremlins with notable names AFAIK: Hyperion (Found in Jungle Cruise in Gremlin Village) and Mark, found in Tortooga. The former is a nod to Hyperion Avenue, where Walt Disney's original studio was, and the later likely to Marc Davis, the animator who designed Pirates of the Caribbean, amongst others.

When I saw that they got the rights to use the Mickey Mouse March in the credits, I thought I didn't hear it in the game. Turns out it is in the game, but in a very obscure part of Mickeyjunk Mountain.



Now what part of the map is labeled "Air Lock?"

[FigmentJedi]

Pretty sure that's referring to the caves you go through on your way up to the mountain.

Anyone want to clue me in as to where the basketball court is?

When I saw that they got the rights to use the Mickey Mouse March in the credits, I thought I didn't hear it in the game. Turns out it is in the game, but in a very obscure part of Mickeyjunk Mountain.

The March also appears in the regular Mickeyjunk Mountain music, about halfway in.



And it may be my imagination, but in the Painted version of Lonesome Manor's music (which is sadly not available online as of now) , part of the song sounds just like a section of Pink Elephants on Parade ('I am not the type to faint when things are odd or things are quaint but seeing things you know that ain't can certainly give you an awful fright') .

Also, compare:





(Skip to 1:20 on the Daisies one)



Lastly, the warped version of Small World that you hear in the World of Gremlins sounds like a merger of both Small World and One Little Spark







EDIT:


Okay, you know how the third Stretching portrait is a Jungle Cruise version of the Quicksand painting? Is it just me, or does the guy on the bottom bear a striking resemblance to a certain CM?

The basketball court is "to the left in the shadow." Just look for a Mickey Mouse birthday card.

Since we're on the topic of the games music, I noticed that the music for Tortooga/ Pirate Voyage has a bit of 'Yo ho, Yo ho'

I heard that there was Fantasyland artwork as extra content. Can anyone tell me what it had in the
picture?

EDIT: So far, I've gotten to Tomorrow City Lagoon, but I had to turn it off. Mickeyjunk Mountain was fun, but I couldn't find the Basketball court. Oh, and I accidentally killed Mickey's Phone. I wasn't trying to let that Gremlin disassemble the phone, but I accidentally pressed the yes button instead of the no button. Stupid me! Guess I'll save him the next time 'round.

It looks like the Alice garden but with the mushrooms from Fantasia in the foreground. It also has the Chesire Cat as the focal point, surrounded by inert versions of the Alice garden.

Just wanted to show everyone that the Captain Hook from the game does have differences from the Film.

Film (sorry for the big file size)


Game


First, the bottoms of the game hook's coat is lined with yellow stripe. Film hook's yellow line doesn't have a yellow strip around the bottom. The game Hook's hair is also shorter than the film hook's. There are probably others, but I can't tell if it's just that way because it's a robot or if there was a concept hook that looked that way.
