![]() ![]() There isn’t a penalty for failing to get through them, as you will simply be returned to the main path. Players of the original will feel disoriented as the game changes from a 2D perspective to 3D in some areas, (particularly in the guardian battles) while some areas you remember from the original are now used as bonus areas inside each act. Each world consists of 3 acts, leading to a showdown with a gem guardian. Unlike the original, you can revisit any world once you beat it, but we will come back to that a bit later. Collecting silver diamonds scattered around the castle will open the first door and collecting more diamond as you make your way through the levels will help open more doors later on. While the original game is a straightforward action platformer, the remake puts you into a 3D castle with the rooms to the different worlds locked by magic. Reaching the world’s guardians and beating them is the only way Mickey can collect all 7 Gems and rescue Minnie before it’s too late. You will need all that you can find, since there is always something up ahead trying to hurt you. ![]() Mickey starts with only 3 hits, but you can collect up to 5 hits with the stars scattered around each world. The worlds he explores are filled with danger and traps that he must get through in order to reach one of Mizrabel’s guardians, and you have to jump on enemies, and even use throwing weapons like apples and baseballs. Once Mickey enters the castle, he enters the first room, only to find the rooms lead to different worlds. Once Mickey finds all the gems he can take on Mizrabel and free Minnie. Here, Mickey meets a wise old mouse who tells him the only way to save Minnie is to collect the 7 Rainbow Gems that are hidden away inside the castles rooms. Mickey springs into action, chasing Mizrabel right to the Castle of Illusion. Mizrabel’s plan is to curse Minnie Mouse and steal her beauty so that she would be young again. Mickey and Minnie Mouse are having a wonderful picnic when the evil witch Mizrabel appears and kidnaps Minnie. The story has not changed from the original Genesis game. Now, thanks to Sega finally starting to realize that classics need to make a comeback, Castle of Illusion returns with this fantastic, yet slightly changed, remake. This game featured awesome animation, fantastic sound, and gameplay that would challenge even the most skilled player (even today). Many players scoffed at it as it looked like it was to be aimed at small children (mostly because the main character was Mickey Mouse), but this was not the case. Many moons ago, there was a little known game for the Sega Genesis called Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. ![]()
