Thankfully, there is a way to increase how much of both items you can carry, so this guide will cover how to increase the amount of Paint/Thinner you can carry in Epic Mickey: Rebrushed.

How To Increase Paint/Thinner Capacity In Epic Mickey: Rebrushed

To increase Mickey's carrying capacity for Paint or Thinner in this classic Disney fan-favorite game, players will need to beat each boss they encounter as they progress through the story. While this is simple in theory, it is worth noting that you can only increase the capacity of one or the other - not both. What you increase is determined by which item you use to defeat the boss.

If you are looking to increase the amount of Paint you can use, then you will need use Paint to beat the boss, thus befriending them and ridding them of the corruption plaguing their minds. In contrast, should you wish to increase the amount of Thinner you can carry at any given time, then you'll need to destroy the boss with Thinner, which will essentially kill them and remove their presence from the Wasteland.

Should You Increase Paint Or Thinner?

Your decision on whether to use Paint or Thinner on the bosses you face ultimately depends on the type of playthrough you're in. If you're playing Mickey like a hero in Epic Mickey: Rebrushed and are restoring each of the settlements you find and their inhabitants, then it's best to increase your Paint storage. On the other hand, if you're more or less destroying everything with Thinner and uncovering whatever secrets you can find, then it's ideal to use Thinner on the bosses and increase your capacity there.

Epic Mickey: Rebrushed has multiple endings, depending on your actions in the game, so whether you opt for a Paint-heavy, Thinner-heavy, or more balanced playthrough, you'll see a different outcome according to the choices you make in the game. There's no real right answer, per se, it just depends on the type of experience you're aiming to get out of your run of the game.
