Tiki Sam is a character from the video-game Epic Mickey (2010). He is the game's counterpart to Trader Sam from the Jungle Cruise.
History[]
Background[]
Tiki Sam is a, "Toon" anthropomorphic dog created by some member of the Walt Disney Company before being scrapped or forgotten. Due to being forgotten, Sam found his way to the Wasteland, a twisted Disneyland where he was near identical to many of the forgotten inhabitants. Sam would live in the Adventureland analogue of, "Ventureland" where he ran the Tiki Hut shop under the pseudonym of, "Tiki Sam"; it is unknown if Sam was designed with this tiki-themed alias or developed it while in the Wasteland, if he was designed with it, he may have been some variant of the since-removed Jungle Cruise character, "Trader Sam".
Epic Mickey[]
After animatronic Captain Hook's crew destroyed the machine connecting Ventureland to Tortooga, Sam took one of the machine's pieces, a ship's wheel. When Mickey Mouse came to Ventureland needing the wheel, Sam agreed to give it over if Mickey collected three tiki masks for Sam. If Mickey collected all of them, Sam gave the mouse the wheel along with a discount on items in his store. However, if Mickey tried to cheat Sam by giving him the same mask twice, then Sam would still hand over the wheel out of frustration but not give a discount.
