Story[edit]
Before Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
During one of their play dates with Boo, Sulley and Mike discoverSora,Donald, andGoofy entering the factory. Mike initially tries to make an excuse on why Boo is here, but Sora accuses them of scaring her. He denies the accusation, stating that they are done relying on scare power. After settling the misunderstanding, they introduce themselves to the trio just as theUnversed appear, frightening Boo. Mike and Sulley help the others fend off the Unversed. With the situation growing dangerous, Mike convinces Sulley to return Boo home, which he agrees. As they arrive at the Laugh Floor, they discover the Unversed are entering children's doors, collecting their scream energy.
After defeating the Unversed, Mike and the others go through theDoor Vault to chase after Boo's door. However, the group ends up getting lost in the Factory due toRandall's manipulation of factory equipment. When Randall hijacks the factory control system, Mike and Sulley protect Boo from harm while the others evade and shut down Randall's traps. The team arrives at the central control unit, where Sulley suggest making Boo laugh to short-circuit the device. Mike tries to make her laugh but his jokes fall short, as no one understands them. With Sora's help, they succeed in making Boo laugh, which opens the passage through the power plant.
When entering the power plant, they discover theHeartless and Unversed have started a fire throughout the station. With help from theCDA Agents, the fire is put out. As the group arrives at the Door Vault, the team is intercepted by Randall, who unleashes devices, which Mike dismisses after its previous failure. However, the device transforms into theLump of Horror, which forces the group to battle the Unversed. When the Unversed is defeated, Mike signals Sulley to subdue Randall, forcing him back to the human world. After Sora seals Randall's door, they prepare to send Boo home. To their surprise, they, along with the door, are pulled to theLaugh Floor.
When they arrive, they are confronted byVanitas, who Sulley and Mike realized was the one who brought Randall into command. Mike angrily states how the Unversed have been ruining their company, but is held back by Sulley. As Vanitas prepares to extractVentus from Sora'sheart, Sulley appears behind him, holding him in place. Mike prepares several doors, with Sulley throwing Vanitas into them before shredding the final door, preventing his return. Afterwards, Mike says goodbye to Boo before she returns home. Returning to the Lobby, Sulley and Mike bid farewell to Sora, Donald, and Goofy, wishing them well with Mike stating he still holds the best laughs.
Sometime afterXehanort's defeat, Mike tries to scare Sulley from behind, but stops when he sees that Sulley is holding a sleeping Boo, and smiles. He and Sulley take Boo back to her bedroom door and watch her sleeping before closing the door quietly.
Design[edit]
Mike is a short green monster with thin arms and legs. He has one giant turquoise eye and miniature horns.
Personality[edit]
Befitting the size of his mouth, Mike tends to be very vocal and loud. He tends to speak before thinking, often having to correct himself when he fumbles and says the opposite of what he means. Mike possesses a sense of humor that tends to go over the heads of children (which he doesn't seem to understand), as he tries making a joke about losing a contact to makeBoo laugh. Regardless, Mike is a quick thinker and one of the top laugh collectors at Monsters Incorporated. He thinks aboutSulley's image as the president of the company a lot, when his friend doesn't. As Sulley's former station operator, he is also well-versed with the technology of the factory, and gets annoyed and stressed when it is misused or tampered with.
Abilities[edit]
Kingdom Hearts III[edit]
Mike is aparty member that focuses on using skills and spells that benefits himself and his allies for a set duration. While executing hisabilities, he remains immobile and may be vulnerable to enemy attacks unless Sora intervenes. In contrast to Sulley's abilities that focus more on offensive attacks, roars and pounces, Mike buffs his allies endlessly until he runs out ofMP. Sora could also use a joint attack alongside the two monsters to throw Mike as a bowling ball towards an enemy to deal small damage that lasts for quite a while.
Mike's base stats are 30AP, 170HP, and 100MP. He has 2 armor slots, 2 accessory slots, and 4 item slots, two of which start equipped withPotions.
