For the follow-up, Power of Two takes on the themes of redemption and friendship, but instead of finding a new niche (or expanding into a latter-day Kingdom Hearts), The Power of Two attempts to occupy the same space as the original, and comes up short on all accounts. The original Epic Mickey told the tale of discovery and exploration, and in the process incorporated a massive amount of little-known Disney lore. It doesn't help that his songs simply aren’t very memorable, either, sounding more like the in-between sections of a musical than the actual score. It's here that the "musical" side of Power of Two begins and ends, and it's a shame that more characters don't also carry a tune, since it's a bit jarring when only the Doctor is rhyming. But larger than his shift to friend from foe is his new tone-this time, he sings his way through his dialogue, proving his "good guy" status by hitting high notes. Even stranger, the natural disaster is followed by the Mad Doctor's return, as well as his sudden (and unexpected) turn towards heroism. By request of Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Mickey Mouse returns to the Wasteland yet again, and finds the reformed world cracking under the sudden onset of powerful earthquakes.
