Land of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, known in Japan as Mickey Mouse no Mahou no Crystal (ミッキーマウスの魔法のクリスタル), is a Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear platform game featuring Disney's Mickey Mouse. It is a sequel to the 8-bit version of Castle of Illusion, and can be seen as the 8-bit counterpart of World of Illusion. During development it was known as Mickey Mouse II.

Land of Illusion was followed by Legend of Illusion.

Story

Mickey falls asleep with a book of fairy tales in his lap, later he wakes up in a strange village. A girl (looking like Daisy Duck) comes up to him asking him for help. She says the village's magic crystal has been stolen by an evil Phantom. As a result, the beautiful happiness in her village has been replaced with sadness. Deciding to help the villagers, Mickey sets out to the North Mountains, to find the Princess who knows how to reach the Phantom's Castle in the Clouds.

Gameplay

Land of Illusion is platform game and plays similarly to its predecessor. Mickey can attack his enemies by picking up an item (such as a stone block) and throwing it at his enemies or by jumping on them. 1 picks up items, 2 jumps, and 2 again in the air performs the bounce attack. Some areas of the game can be accessed by bouncing off enemies. Mickey can slide down slopes if he lands on them while doing his bounce attack. 22222 swims underwater. Up enters doorways and climbs ladder and vines, Down crouches and descends ladders and vines.

Throughout the game, the player can pick up items that imbue Mickey with new abilities, such as a rope for climbing up walls or a shrinking potion that can make Mickey shrink in size. Furthermore, the player can then return to previous levels and utilize these items to gain access to previously inaccessible areas.

Mickey begins the game with two points on his Power Gauge, indicating how many hits he can take by enemies. Stars can be collected throughout the game that increase the Power Gauge and give Mickey more health, up to a maximum of 5. There is one star on every level making 14 in total. Each star collected after collecting 5 gives an extra try. Most of them are in inaccessible areas which require many of the special items collected throughout the game. Upon completion of the game, the number of stars the player collects is tallied. Collecting all 14 stars gives a special score bonus.
