The game itself is not that difficult and you have unlimited continues but you will die a lot and need a few continues. The game is not a 100% linear since some stages offer 2 paths and sometimes you have to backtrack to other stages to get items like the shrinking potion that makes you shrink or the rope that enables you to climb walls and get to places you could not get to earlier which is fun. The suggested age range of this game is probably a little young but despite that the bosses need a little thinking to defeat, and the stages have some very clever puzzles that are hard enough to make you think for a few seconds, but not hard enough to stop the flow and fun of the game which is perfect when playing this game today, some 24 years later. Pretty basic platformerĮvery few stages you have to fight a boss that have some trick to them. The controls in Land of Illusion are tight and responsive and the jumping mechanics are solid as well as the physics of the game. That is in fact your main way of dealing with enemies and feels very similar to the cane jump attack in Duck Tales but Mickey can only bounce on enemies, not on the ground or on spikes like in Duck Tales. You jump between various pits and hazards, and fight enemies by picking up objects and throwing in addition to Mickey being able do drop down on enemies while jumping in a sitting position, butting them to death. Land of Illusion is your typical platforming game. Stage select screen with a total of 14 stages Donald Duck, Goofy and even Horace Horsecollar make a cameo appearance. In his adventure he even meets some fun characters. Mickey of course takes it upon himself to stop Phantom and needs to go through 14 stages(some much longer than others). There he meets Daisy who says that a guy called Phantom has stolen some magic crystal making evil magic spread all over the realm. He falls asleep but when he wakes up he is not at home, but a gloomy fairy tale land. Land Illusion starts with Mickey reading a book of fairy tales in his home. Castle of Illusion as you may know was also released on the Genesis as well as the Master System and while the two version are quite different i felt that Land of Illusion was more special to the Master System so it felt right to review that one even though Land of Illusion was also released on the Sega Game Gear later and was nearly identical to the Master System version as it was with many of the later Master System titles (like i explained in the Master of Darkness review). Land of Illusion is the second game in the Illusion series after Castle of Illusion. There were a lot of Disney games made for Sega consoles and the Illusion series was definitely a highlight among the bunch. This time i decided to give another platformer a go, Land of Illusion: Starring Mickey Mouse. The army consists of bizarre creatures, such as enchanted mushrooms, toy soldiers, ball-juggling, unicycle-riding clowns, spiders, and armored knights.Back to some Master System before i go back to Japan next week and get my PC Engine (Turbografx-16). Alongside the Masters of Illusion is Mizrabel's army. The majority of the seven gems are kept within various illusion-filled worlds (known in the game as levels) and are being guarded by Mizrabel's henchmen – which are known as the Masters of Illusion. Upon meeting and conversing with the castle's true owner and king, Mickey is told that in order to defeat Mizrabel he must find the Seven Gems of the Rainbow. The game follows Mickey Mouse on a quest to save Minnie Mouse from the evil witch Mizrabel, who wants to steal Minnie's youth and beauty. The game was also included on the Sega Genesis Mini in 2019. A remake of the game by Sega Studios Australia was released for PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade and Microsoft Windows in September 2013. It was re-released in 1998 in Japan as part of Sega Ages: Mickey Mouse & Donald Duck for the Sega Saturn, which features both Castle of Illusion and QuackShot. It is the first game in Sega's Illusion video game series starring Mickey.Ĭastle of Illusion was very well received by critics, especially the original 16-bit version. An 8-bit version of the game was later released for the Master System and Game Gear. Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, Mega Drive version is known in Japan as I Love Mickey Mouse: Fushigi no Oshiro Daibōken ( アイラブミッキーマウス ふしぎのお城大冒険, Ai Rabu Mikkī Mausu: Fushigi no Oshiro Daibōken ?, I Love Mickey Mouse: Mysterious Castle Great Adventure) is a 1990 platform game developed by Sega and released for the Mega Drive/Genesis.
