![]() However, wait for it to go on sale, as it's really not worth the $15 price tag.The first level is where you familiarise yourself with the controls which are simple and precise and you’ll also get to jump on a few heads of errant creatures and what look like possessed saplings as you get on your way to the first boss which is a giant tree which is pretty easy to beat. Both of these are fairly minor complaints, but it's what keeps this game from being the polished gem it deserves to be.ĭespite these complaints, I'd still suggest getting it if you enjoy short platformers or just love some classic Disney magic. The controls feel sluggish and inaccurate when you're navigating a 3D space, and this makes it really easy to miss your jumps. Another problem is that the 3D platforming isn't as well implemented as the 2D gameplay. I would have like there to be more levels and more places to explore. The first of these is that, due to it being a remastered version of an older game, it's fairly short compared to more modern games. Now, while this is a fun game in its own right, there are some problems with it. As he did back then, Mickey defends himself in this game by jumping on and bouncing off of enemies, or failing that, using an object from the level (like apples, marbles, or small candles) as a thrown weapon. One thing that is definitely from the older games is the combat mechanics. The SNES games did experiment with this sort of thing though, so it would make sense to me if they were homages to the original adventure. As mentioned earlier, since I didn't play the original, I don't know if there were faux-3D sequences in it that would translate into these 3D sections. ![]() Mickey will need to defeat each one in turn before facing the witch herself.įrom here, the game is a typical platformer, though there are occasionally some 3D platforming sections to make things interesting. However, this will not be easy, as the Rainbow Gems have been entrusted to Mizrabel's underlings, the Masters of Illusion. These will create a magical bridge allowing Mickey to reach the secluded tower and confront Mizrabel before she can enact her devious plans. To stop this from happening, Mickey needs to collect the seven Rainbow Gems. This would make the witch beautiful, but render Minnie old and fill her once pure heart with hate. She wants to cast a terrible spell that will steal Minnie's youth and vigor. When our hero finally reached the castle, an elderly mouse stepped out of the shadows to warn him about Mizrabel's evil plot. Carrying her prize in tow as she zoomed away on her broom, she flew into her enchanted castle, leaving Mickey behind. Of course, in order for there to be a story something must have gone terribly wrong with this plan, and indeed, no sooner had they made themselves comfortable did the evil witch Mizrabel fly over and trap Minnie in a magical bubble. The story begins on a bright sunny day, with Mickey and Minnie going out into the countryside for a picnic. At best, I can compare it to Disney's SNES title Mickey Mania, which had a similar feel to the gameplay. As I didn't have a SEGA Genesis, I can't tell you how accurate this remaster is to the original. It was originally released on the SEGA Genesis, and in 2013, it was remastered into the game you're reading about now. Disney's games, on the other gloved hand, are frequently listed as some of the most beloved games from the early console generations, and the Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse was one of the many examples. ![]() ![]() Back in the day, licensed games had a reputation for being subpar or even unplayable.
