Players will be able to obtain a huge amount of pins in Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two. Over 150 different pins are included, and each will provide different buffs and boosts.
Aside from that, the game’s Director Warren Spector detailed other ways pins can utilized during a New York Comic Con roundtable.
Director Warren Spector discussed the pins feature at New York Comic Con 2012:
“You can go to the Pin Shop (on Mean Street) and show off your collection to your friends and all that. Unless you’re a crazy tester, you’re not going to get them all in one playthrough, but it is possible.”
Unfortunately, there won’t be any online connectivity involving the pins.
Spector explained why this isn’t an area the team decided to pursue:
“The reality is I’m kind of a kitchen sink designer. When you start a project, you just kind of get every idea from everybody. It’s almost like sculpting; you just cut the stuff that doesn’t fit. I hope in the future we can come back to some ideas we had for how to facilitate pin interactions. But that implies that there are plans and people are working, and that’s how I get in trouble. Which I guess I just did.”
Spector wrapped up by teasing the Observatory on Mean Street:
“If you find [the Observatory] on Mean Street and you look through it, you might find something about the world and the cartoon universe and all that stuff. It’s pretty cool.”
