Genre: Action

















Release Date RRP Code

Fantasia, called Fantasia: Mickey Mouse Magic (ファンタジア ミッキーマウス・マジック) in Japan, is a 1991 game by Infogrames for the Sega Mega Drive made as part of the 50th Anniversary celebration of Disney's 1940 film Fantasia.

Gameplay

The game is a typical platformer where you play as Mickey Mouse the Apprentice Sorcerer as he tries to recover his master's stolen music notes. C jumps. Mickey attacks by performing spells. You can cast spells so long as you have enough magic hats — the number of magic hats is shown at the bottom left corner of the screen. A casts a little spell (costs one magic hat) and B casts a big spell (costs three). Collecting flying books recovers magic.

History

Development

Fantasia was rushed for release and poorly received at launch. Former Head of Product Development at Sega of America, Ken Balthaser has said on record that he regrets releasing it in its current "unplayable" state.
