Join Mickey and Donald as they attempt to return home after being sucked into the World of Illusion.

Overview

World of Illusion Starring Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse was developed by Sega of America for the Sega Genesis / Mega Drive and released in 1992. It can be considered as a semi-sequel to games previously produced by Sega which involved Walt Disney cartoon characters.

The World of Illusion features many elements which are lifted from Walt Disney cartoons, such as an underwater level similar to The Little Mermaid, and a giant garden similar to Alice in Wonderland.

Plot

While preparing for a magic show, Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are sucked into the World of Illusion after discovering a magical wardrobe and entering it. Their only way of returning back home is to survive all the different environments and trials they will face in the World of Illusion.

Gameplay

World of Illusion is your standard platform game; Mickey and Donald can run, jump and attack enemies using their capes (which turns them into harmless animals or objects, such as a dove or a playing card, though it varies by enemy). A new magic spell is learned by defeating the boss of each level, allowing the pair to advance to and progress through the next level.

One feature that was unique at the time was how levels changed slightly depending on if you chose a single-player game with Mickey or Donald, or if you chose the two-player game. For example, in the two-player mode, Mickey and Donald would have to support each other to get through the level by jumping on each other to reach high places, then using a rope to hoist up the person who one who was used as a stepping stone, or through Mickey pulling Donald through tight crawlspaces, as he couldnt fit through them, although this would cause structural damage to the area and end up changing part of the next stage. This also affects the single-player mode, as Mickey could fit through the crawlspaces with ease, however Donald would have to find another way around.

Magic Spells

Magic Carpet (Level 1): This allowed Mickey and Donald to fly on a magic carpet in level 2.
Underwater Bubble (Level 2): This allowed Mickey and Donald to breathe underwater.
Magic Box Transportation (Level 3): This allowed Mickey and Donald to transport to different places using magic boxes.
Card Control (Level 4): This allowed Mickey and Donald to manipulate playing cards so they could form bridges over wide gaps.
