Dinky Island

From MIwiki

Dinky Island is the final island featured in the game Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge. It is the resting place of the legendary treasure of Big Whoop.

Dinky Island is a small island of uninhabited jungle - the only character Guybrush meets on the island is Herman Toothrot. There are hints that there may have been earlier occupants: in the interior Guybrush is able to find such items as dynamite, a phone box, and a dinosaur clipped out of a hedge.

Though the player is not given an overview of Dinky Island, some details about the geography are revealed elsewhere. When Guybrush finally finds all four pieces of the map to Big Whoop, he learns from Wally that Dinky Island is not too far from LeChuck's Fortress. Later Elaine, on Booty Island, is able to hear an explosion on Dinky. In Curse of Monkey Island it is revealed that Dinky is in fact a small atoll off the coast of Monkey Island. This led to some inconsistencies with earlier games.

Inconsistencies

In The Secret of Monkey Island the titular island is a fabled destination that requires a special map to reach. Whereas in Monkey Island 2 Dinky Island is a known and charted place, not too distant from islands such as Booty, and both Wally and Elaine are able to find it without any difficulty. In addition Dinky cannot be seen on the overhead maps of Monkey Island seen in the first game, although it could be argued it was just slightly further off shore.
