The Storm serves as a nice middle ground as it is clear things are beginning to ramp up. Here you are accosted by toy soldiers and creepy clowns among some of the best platforming challenges in the game. The Enchanted Forest is the perfect introductory level with its simple mushroom enemies and bats and is followed by Toyland. The many rooms in Mizrabel’s castle whisk you away to a number of exotic locations. The only other items available increase your life bar, points, or grant extra lives. Depending on the level you collect apples/ marbles for ranged attacks but these aren’t in great supply and are weak. The butt bounce also serves as a spring to jump higher when hitting enemies. Mickey is armed with the platforming staple butt bounce as his main form of attack. Although it is short you will enjoy every single moment and for its low price I would still highly recommend it. It also helped that it’s a great game too. Castle of Illusion was one of many second generation titles that really showed off the power of 16-bit technology. Meanwhile the NES was hitting its absolute stride with classic after classic. There were plenty of solid titles in its early years but very few that you would categorize as truly great. It’s a platformer what more do you want?Ĭastle of Illusion’s release was an important milestone for the Genesis. As Mickey you are on a quest so save Minnie from the witch Mizrabel by finding seven magical gems scattered throughout her castle. It could easily be mistaken for a game based on an official Disney movie because of its creative environments. This is a truly great game and was a sign of things to come.Ĭastle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse was released worldwide in 1990. Their many Disney games were simply phenomenal with Castle of Illusion setting a high bar they would continue to exceed. Sega I feel deserves a lot of the same respect. At a time where LJN and Ocean basically treated any license they bought like garbage Capcom showed that if you treated it with respect those titles could stand shoulder to shoulder with the best on the market. Capcom usually gets the majority of the praise when the discussing Disney licensed titles.
