Mickey using thinner to destroy objects
Thinner is a substance of Epic Mickey that can be wielded by Mickey Mouse. Thinner destroys enemies and is able to melt the Wasteland characters. It can also thin the Beetleworx armors, but cannot destroy them. By using Thinner, Mickey will be tapping into his more "mischievous" side. Using more Thinner will cause Mickey to drip like the Blot. The habitants of the Wasteland will fear Mickey and will be in a sad mood the more Thinner he uses.
Synopsis
Thinner is green and can be used as a solvent to dissolve and destroy foes, buildings and obstacles Wasteland, whether they're good or bad. Thinner is the one of the tools Mickey can use on his quest to become an epic hero.
When using Thinner on other characters, they will get absorbed to the ground. That is, until Mickey uses paint on those characters again.
By using Thinner more often than paint, Mickey will be able to attract Turps. Thinner also replaces water in Wasteland and will hurt Mickey if he touches it. This Thinner replacing the water are called Thinner Seas or Pools of Thinner. At the end of the game, Thinner Pools turn back into clean-fresh water/Paint.
History
Thinner was one of the elements Mickey accidentally spilled when he was tampering with Yen Sid's desk. With the mix of both Thinner and Paint came the Shadow Blot who defeated Oswald the Lucky Rabbit and took over Wasteland, making it a miserable world for all of the residents after a wave of Thinner splashed down on the residents and lands of Wasteland. Gremlin Gus calls it the "Thinner Disaster ".
