Mickey Mouse Series

Excerpt from Genesis Game Guide by The Scribe

NAME:             Mickey Mouse series (6 titles)
AUTHOR/VENDOR:    Disney Software
RELEASED:         various
TYPE:             Platform
LANGUAGE:         English

PREMISE:          A series of arcade games of various quality featuring
                  Disney's number one animated star, Mickey Mouse.

IMPRESSIONS:      I never was a really big fan, but most of these arcade
                  games do the franchise justice.  At worst they are run-
                  of-the-mill, at best they are as fantastic as only Disney
                  can produce.  Get 'em and judge for yourself.

VARIATIONS:       Castle of Illusion (1990 by Capcom, released in Japan
                    under the title Mickey and Minnie's Magical Adventure -
                    Mickey must save Minnie from the clutches of the evil
                    witch Mizrabel)
                  Mickey's Ultimate Challenge (1991 by Hi-Tech Expressions,
                    you can play as Mickey or Minnie as they get to take
                    part in a fairy tale themed adventure)
                  Fantasia (1991 by Infogrames, loosely derived from "The
                    Sorcerer's Apprentice" segment of the movie in which
                    Mickey must recover all the notes missing from his
                    master's music)
                  World of Illusion (1992 by Illusion Soft, released in

                    are practicing a magic act and are sucked into a world
                    of real magic by an evil magician)
                  The Great Circus Mystery (1994 by Capcom, released in
                    Japan under the title Mickey and Minnie's Magical
                    Adventure 2 - a retooled take on Castle of Illusion in
                    which you must rescue several missing circus animals
                    from a haunted house)

One of the greatest Disney games released! This, Quackshot, Toy Story and Aladdin were the best of a (rather poor, admittedly) sizable bunch. I still think that the level with all the cogs is way creepy though!

This game seems fun for the first few levels, but halfway through one of them I actually got to the stage of thinking "what's the pont?" and turned it off. Therefore I have to respect this game because it is the ONLY game ever to inspire nihilism in me whilst playing!

when you hear about a disney game you just want to turn a blind eye to them but this one is good VERY good, its addictive gameplay nice graphics and colours and save the damsel in distress plot make a good game.

9/10 well worth sitting down and playing i reccomend getting the disney double pack with quackshot.

World Of Illusion looks fabulous, is full of great ideas and everyone will have a great time playing it. The only thing missing is some kind of challenge for anyone used to playing games. Although it is superb, it is definitely one for the less experienced players out there!

While Castle of Illusion is a pretty but somewhat shallow platformer, World of Illusion is a very pretty but somewhat shallow platformer... uhuh.
The graphics in WOI are georgous, bright colouful and full of life, the animation of the main characters is great, clearly drawing from personalities of two of Disney's biggest stars.
The game is simple in the extreme, challenging only the youngest (or most inept) players.
The two player game is where it's at here, in which through good level design, co-operation between players is often needed to progress. The two player game also features different levels from the single player (as well as different levels for Mickey & Donald).

Just on a side note, I have to mention Mickey Mania, if only for its great concept (stages based on Mickeys main features/films) and fantatistic graphics & effects. The game aint half-bad either!

World of illusion is the first and best game I ever bought for the Genesis. Wonderful music, graphics and gameplay. A must for a collection.

I don't care if it's Mickey bloody Mouse, this game is just plain unfair. Those moving platforms have a life of their own, and I have no idea if I'm supposed to land on that thing.....oh, no I'm not. I've just died. Again. Harder than five hundred nails welded together and toughened with some fibrous, gelatenous goo. No fun to be had here, and the music is just dire! Avoid.

Castle of Illusion was challenging for the time and still isn't a complete pushover, and Fantasia remains challenging thanks to the unique way the foreground obscures a number of platforms, pits, etc. The only real easy Mickey Mouse game is World of Illusion, which is just too dumbed down aside from the rapids level with Donald Duck. WoI has probably the best Disney game end boss (second best would be the queen in CoI), but he's just so easy it cheapens the battle.

now this game is a different beast from castle of illusion a better beast infact, this game blew me away the graphics the gameplay the levels just everything about this game is great not to mention the the very involved co-op play.

10/10 a must own game, it was worthy of a re-release more so than mickey mania
