Mickey and Minnie Mouse are strolling through the forest one day, when suddenly, the witch, Mizrabel, jealous of Minnie’s beauty, snatches her from Mickey. The remake adds in a narrator and several cutscenes to tell the story, but despite the narrator’s infectious energy and the striking still art of the cutscenes, the premise is still ultimately tissue-thin.


Even if you’ll breeze through it in just a couple of hours though, the game is difficult not to love, simply due to how polished and adorable it all is! The game is quite forgiving in keeping young kids and inexperienced players in mind, so retro gamers looking for a challenge might be disappointed that Castle of Illusion’s remake is rather on the easy side, and doesn’t have adjustable difficulty settings to boot.

The gameplay result however is a joyful and charming 2D/3D hybrid platformer that is full to burst with enchanting Disney magic, regardless of whether you’ve played the Genesis game or not. What a remake it is too! Rather than just taking the exact design of the original Genesis game, touching up the graphics and music, adding achievements/trophies, and calling it a day, Sega Studios Australia, responsible for developing the game, have redesigned the entire affair from the ground up! The level backdrops and boss identities are familiar, but everything has been re-tooled, expanded and polished with current console technology, to the point where the adventure will feel entirely new, even for die-hard fans of the original Genesis game! It looks mighty gorgeous too, being one of the most visually striking Disney games to date on any platform! The game was a frequent request for Nintendo’s Virtual Console catalogue amongst enduring Sega loyalists, though it seems that Disney has done this demand one better, commissioning an entire remake of the same name for current digital console game channels. Among these were Golden Axe, Altered Beast and a beloved little Disney game called Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse.Ĭastle of Illusion’s fan following has persisted to this day, not only leading to sequels on the Genesis, Sega Master System and Sega GameGear, but also a recent spiritual follow-up, Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion on 3DS.
