Mickey Cuts Up is a Classic Kingdom mini-game in Kingdom Hearts III. In this game, Sora needs to mow the lawn, following a specific path.

Game Help[edit]

Mow the lawn like a pro!

You can move a single square at a time, but cannot pass through rocks, animals, or squares where the grass has already been cut.

In later stages, you'll need to pass through the same square twice to completely mow it.

Stuck? Press Circle to rewind one square, or X to start the stage over from the beginning.

Mechanics[edit]

The objective of this mini-game is to find a path that crosses each grass square once (or twice in the case of long grass). The "CONTROLLER" buttons can be used to move Sora around one square at a time. The "BACK" button allows Sora to rewind one step, while the "RESET" button will restart the current stage. The game starts with a time limit of 3 minutes, and increases by 30 seconds for each stage cleared. Resetting a level does not rewind the time. The game ends when the time is up.

Sora can only move to squares with grass on them. After crossing a square with grass, it will be mowed and cannot be moved on again. Some squares have tall grass, which turn into regular grass after crossing it once. Each stage contains one or two animals, which move at the same time as Sora. Sora cannot move to a square with an animal on it, but if both Sora and the animal want to move to the same square, Sora takes priority.

Origin[edit]

Mickey Cuts Up is based on the Mickey Mouse short of the same name from 1931. In the short, Mickey mows his lawn, with Pluto pulling the mower. Next door, Minnie waters her plants, and Mickey wants to trick her, but gets attacked by a cat. Pluto chases the cat, making the mower cut up everything in his path.
