The game also features full voice acting for Mickey, as well as narration by Richard McGonagle. The game features a remastered soundtrack arranged by Grant Kirkhope, as well as an option to listen to the original soundtrack composed by Shigenori Kamiya. The game was developed by Sega Studios Australia, their last game before the studio was shut down, under the supervision of the original game's director, Emiko Yamamoto. The Castle of Illusion remake was teased by Sega in April 2013 and was announced later that month. Obstacles include enchanted forests, rebellious toys and mazes of living books. Plot Īs in the 1990 original, the game casts players in the role of Mickey Mouse who must fight his way through the Castle of Illusion to rescue Minnie Mouse from the evil witch Mizrabel who wants to steal her youth and beauty. Throughout the game, players can find playing cards and chilli peppers that can be used to unlock various outfits for Mickey. The castle itself, which was merely a transition in the original game, can now be fully explored, with new areas opened up by collecting numerous gems littered around each level. Levels are re-envisioned versions of the original game's levels now separated into three acts, featuring new layouts, puzzles and enemies, as well as enhanced boss fights. He can also collect projectiles which he can throw at long distance enemies. Mickey's main offensive ability is his bounce attack, which he can use to bounce on enemies and reach higher areas. While it may not be so much of a challenge the second time round, Castle of illusion is still certainly pretty to look at.See also: Gameplay of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouseįollowing the same style of gameplay as the original Mega Drive/Genesis title, presented in high-definition 3D graphics, the game is largely played as a side-scrolling platformer like its predecessor, although some sections allow Mickey Mouse to move in multiple directions, such as puzzle segments. The replay factor, for its trailblazer status is great too. In conclusion this game reinvents the genre of 8 bit gaming and is a fine example, where the expensive Disney license was used, this time perfectly, to create affine game which is a creditable addition to any collection. Both effects as the melodies match the super cute comic book look and complete Castle of illusion. The sound quality is very atmospheric and fits in perfectly with the harmonious overall picture. The graphics represent the best you can get from the system all still retain great game play and feature great animations, bold colors and endless details, this truly shows us how games in the early nineties really had the ability to shine. Both playful and graphically the same both the master system and game gear and versions are similar, but I would recommend the Master System version because the game gear display we know is sometimes slightly muddy and cloudy. Besides additional lives, coins and more vitality there unfortunately no other extras in the game to find, this however, does not detract from this game and pleasure after finding secret chests. Speaking overall, the game level develops steadily and the player must constantly improve their skills, without ever really being unfairly handled by the game. Each level offers also offers several enemies that are, surprisingly, right to the environment and a large, scary final enemy on each to deal with. The themes all differ completely and this makes for great range in the game- ranging from the classic forest level with the concurrent trees to a confectionery world and a dark damp scary Dungeon, all are rendered in beautiful detail for the Master System. Overall you have to contend with six varied worlds before you face the witch. Granted, the story of this Mickey Mouse game for the master system (also ported naturally to the game gear) is extremely common, but the game just happens to also be extremely entertaining, even after 20 years! As mentioned, it is the job of you playing as Mickey Mouse to free his beloved Minnie from the clutches of the evil old witch in a typical jump ´ n ´ run platformer manner. On this iconic jump and run, the sweetheart of our hero Mickey Mouse is taken by an old an evil witch, following the kidnap the player must now head out to her help and save her, all exciting stuff you will agree.
