The gameplay revolves around Mickey's magic brush, which can be used to paint scenery or take it away using thinner. You must choose your path wisely as changing the environment affects access to certain areas. Use the Wii Remote to aim and shoot, shake it to spin around and attack enemies, or tap the thinner or paint button for a quick burst spray. As you progress, you'll unlock the ability to draw actual objects into the world, called sketches, that can be used to distract enemies or slow them down.
