Story
Before Kingdom Hearts III
Kingdom Hearts III
During one of their play dates with Boo, Sulley and Mike discover Sora, Donald, and Goofy 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 the Unversed 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 the Door Vault to chase after Boo's door. However, the group ends up getting lost in the Factory due to Randall'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 the Heartless and Unversed have started a fire throughout the station. With help from the CDA, 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 the Lump of Horror, which forces the group 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 the Laugh Floor.
When they arrive, they are confronted by Vanitas, 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 extract Ventus from Sora's heart, 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 after Xehanort'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
Mike is a short green monster with thin arms and legs. He has one giant turquoise eye and miniature horns.
Personality
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 make Boo laugh. Regardless, Mike is a quick thinking and one of the top laugh collectors at Monster's Inc. He thinks about Sulley's image as the president of the company a lot, when his friend doesn't.
Abilities
Kingdom Hearts III
Mike is a party member that focuses on using skills and spells that benefits himself and his allies for a set duration. While executing his abilities, 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 of MP. 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.
Origin
Michael "Mike" Wazowski first appeared in the 2001 film Monsters, Inc., voiced by Billy Crystal. He is Sulley's station runner and coach on the scare floor at Monsters, Inc. One day, a girl sneaks into the facility. Mike discovers Sulley is keeping her a secret and wishes for Sulley to get rid of her. Mike is also seeking a love life with another monster named Celia Mae.
Mike later appeared in the film's 2013 prequel, Monsters University, which detailed how he and Sulley first met in college, a fact alluded to in his Kingdom Hearts III journal entry.
