+ | ''Castle of Illusion'' follows Mickey Mouse as he attempts to defeat the witch Mizrabel who has kidnapped Minnie. As he approaches the entrance of Mizrabel's castle, a mysterious old man appears and offers him assistance. Mickey must defeat Mizrabel's henchmen in each level and obtain a crystal which, if all of them obtained, will open up the route to witch's throne room. | ||

+ | In ''Castle of Illusion'', the player controls Mickey Mouse through six levels, known as the "worlds of illusion." Mickey moves with {{left}} or {{right}}. He ducks with {{down}} and jumps with {{2}}. While in the air, Mickey can perform a bounce attack by pressing {{1}} in the Master System version and {{2}} in the Game Gear version, allowing him to defeat foes that he lands on and bounce up to reach higher places. Mickey can slide down slopes if he lands on them while doing his bounce attack. Mickey can grab an item by holding the D-Pad in the direction of the item while standing next to it and pick up the item by pressing {{1}}. The item can be thrown with {{left}}+{{1}} or {{right}}+{{1}}; he sets the item down next to him with {{1}}. Items can be thrown at enemies to defeat them. Items can also be used as steps to reach higher places. Mickey can swim underwater with {{repeat|{{2}}}}. He enters doorways or climbs ladders with {{up}}; he descends ladders with {{down}}. | ||
− | + | Mickey begins the game with three stars on his Power Gauge, indicating how many hits he can take by enemies. If he is carrying an item, he drops it when he takes damage. He loses a try if he loses all of the stars in his Power Gauge. The game ends if Mickey runs out of tries, but it can be continued from the beginning of the current level as long as the player has continues remaining. There are two Power Stars hidden in the game that extend his Power Gauge by two stars. | |
