This explains the E-Ticket: it's a piece of evidence proving the existence of another world. It's possible that Guybrush is from this world but ended up in the "real Monkey Island" world as a child.
Monkey island 2 series#
This world is sort of like the actual real world but rather than Monkey Island being a series of computer games, Monkey Island is a set of attractions at an amusement park. I'm going to rework this one a bit: the Monkey Island world is "real" within its own narrative, but there is another world where the Monkey Island world is fictional.

It's a fair argument, but it doesn't explain all the facts, like Elaine waiting by the hole, Chuckie's eyes, or the simple fact that Ron Gilbert has said this one is wrong too. A lot of people argue that the ending of Monkey Island 2 reveals that the whole thing was just a daydream on the part of a young boy and the Monkey Island world isn't real.

Gilbert has implied that time travel is involved in Monkey Island at some point and this seems to be the most likely place. I don't think this one is right either, although Mr. LeChuck would obviously want to stop Guybrush finding these because it might allow him to escape into another place and time. My only theory based on this would be that the tunnels link Dinky Island to an amusement park where Guybrush became separated from his parents as a child, as well as to the back streets of Mêlée Island at a time when the street was literally "closed for construction": ie part of the town was being built. Someone once suggested a similar idea to Ron Gilbert and he said it was wrong, so I'm kind of doubtful about this one too.
