The game is reported as 100% complete. Being a Disney game, it references the game's simultaneous release with The Lion King. Mentions that Mickey can use soap. The screenshot shows the typical cute Disney aesthetic.

Proviews are by Phil, who says it matches the Mickey games' standard, Chris, who says the game is excellent, and Mark H, who praises the graphics and says it makes for simple, playable fun.

Logo-pdf.svg 1995-01-15 Sega Magazine (UK), "February 1995" It discusses the high ratings Mickey media usually gets and this game's similarity to a previous Mickey game, Land of Illusion, with barely anything new to offer. Graphics and playablity are also said to be of the same high quality. Tom Guise comments that it's a great platformer that you shouldn't get if you already have one of the other Mickey games. Sam Hickman comments that, as is typical of Mickey games, the gameplay and graphics are top notch, but it isn't a very eventful game.

Says it is the 4th Mickey Mouse game on Game Gear, which is true if including Mickey's Ultimate Challenge, which did not release in Japan. Says that there 10 stages in total (there are actually 9), and that stages 5 and 6 can be played in either order. Some of Mickey's moves are explained. Screenshots show the visual after clearing a stage and Mickey on top of a barrel.

Written by Earth Angel, who discusses the Game Gear having fewer buttons than Mickey has moves and the graphics having that Disney quality despite smaller sprites. There is also a mention of the sound being standard for Game Gear. Challenge is said to be easy unless you are a beginner.
