Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse for the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear, known as Mickey Mouse no Castle Illusion (ミッキーマウスのキャッスルイリュージョン) in Japan, is a platform game released in 1990 featuring the mascot of Disney, Mickey Mouse. This is an 8-bit counterpart to the Sega Mega Drive game of the same name, which although shares the same story and basic design concepts, has differing levels and gameplay mechanics.

Story

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.

Sequels and Re-releases

The 8-bit renditions of Castle of Illusion would be followed by two sequels, Land of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Legend of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. Mega Drive owners would see a sequel in World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.
