Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse is a platformer developed by Sega in 1990 for the Sega Genesis and Sega Master System.The game takes place within the eponymous Castle of Illusion. Mickey must take it upon himself to rescue Minnie Mouse from the clutches of Mizrabel the witch, who has kidnapped her in order to steal her youth and beauty. The player must battle through five stages and confront each stage's boss to collect the Seven Gems of the Rainbow. Only with these gems can he then build a rainbow bridge leading to the castle tower to face the evil witch in a final battle.Cue classic side-scrolling and all the glory of 16-bit graphics and sound. The 8-bit version, released for both the Sega Master System and Game Gear, keeps the fundamentals of its 16-bit big brother, while altering the level design and mechanics to fit better with the less powerful hardware.In 1992, it went and had two sequels: Land of Illusion and World of Illusion. A few years later, an additional sequel was released known as Legend of Illusion. 2012 saw a Nintendo 3DS companion game to Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two going under the name Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, officially billed as both a fourth, direct sequel and an Epic Mickey game, in which the Castle of Illusion has been transported to the Wasteland and Mizrabel seeks to escape from it by draining the essence of popular Disney characters. In 2022, Disney announced Disney Illusion Island, a 2D platformer starring Mickey and friends in the vein of previous Illusion titles. The game was released on the Nintendo Switch July 28, 2023.In the wake of this release, Sega made an HD remake of the original game and was released on the PlayStation 3 on September 3, 2013, while the Steam and Xbox 360 versions were released the following day. The game was delisted from these storefronts on September 2, 2016, due to Sega's contract expiring; it eventually resurfaced in April of 2017. The original version of the game and World of Illusion were both included as a part of the Sega Genesis Mini in 2019.

Abnormal Ammo: The Genesis game gives you apples, marbles, and candles to throw at your foes. The remake limits these to the Enchanted Forest, Toyland and the Castle respectively, while adding golden orbs and sweets to the Storm and Library levels.

Defeat Means Friendship
 Castle of Illusion (Video Game) / int_19769f50
comment
The remake has Mizrabel give Mickey and Minnie their own brooms to escape the falling castle, and it also adds a reason as to why Defeat Means Friendship: it turns out it's a case of Know When to Fold 'Em. Mizrabel, as the narrator explains, had the wisdom to know when she was defeated, and also to know the reason why that was so, and it's because she recognized that Mickey and Minnie had a magic even greater than her own: The Power of Love.

The Cameo: In the remake, Pluto, Huey, Dewey, Louie, Goofy, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Scrooge McDuck, Chip, Dale and Pete can be seen watching the events of the game as a movie alongside Mickey and Minnie, most likely intended as a nod to the post-credits scene of the Genesis version. Chip is even wearing his Rescue Rangers hat.

comment
Easy-Mode Mockery: The game ends at the 3rd level. However, this is a subversion, as the ending is somewhat more hopeful: Mizrabel has a change of heart and agrees to free Minnie in exchange for just three gems, then does so without any insults at all. The text telling you to try Normal mode is also more encouraging than insulting.

Adaptation Expansion
 Castle of Illusion (Video Game) / int_23473ae7
comment
Adaptation Expansion: Downplayed in the remake. It is largely very faithful to the original game's structure and there isn't much in the way of new content, but thanks to being a 2½D platformer, it has more elaborate setpieces and bosses compared to the original game (several of which are in full 3D, including the main hub) and the Excuse Plot is given some extra meat by having a narrator narrating through the game and give context to things that were left unexplained in the original game. There are also unlockable statues that expand on the bosses' personalities and/or why they hold one of the Rainbow Gems.

Mythology Gag: In the remake, Chip and Dale are dressed in their Rescue Rangers attire. In level 5 of the remake, the narrator brings up Mickey's past experience in cleaning clocks. The giant apple chase segment in the level 1 remake is a homage to the chase segments in Mickey Mania. A milk bottlecap in level 4 of the remake has Mickey in his 1930's design.

The Unfought: Shadow Mickey, who's exclusive to the remake. You spend the entire second act of level 4 chasing him to retrieve the green gem, but instead of actually fighting him, he's brained in the head by a giant spoon as you escape into a giant teacup. You then have to escape the teacup, but after you do that, Mickey simply retrieves the green gem from the dazed Shadow Mickey.

When Trees Attack

comment
When Trees Attack: The first stage boss in the Genesis version is a living log that jumps out of the tree it's resting in and rolls towards you. What? It Makes Sense in Context... sort of. The Master System version just has a tree as the first boss. The remake adds an explanation, sort of. The narrator refers to this boss as the "grumpy old oak"; so apparently it was attacking Mickey either just because it was a grouch, or because Mickey woke it up or something.

You Are Too Late: In both the Genesis and HD versions, just as Mickey finally arrives at the final room to save Minnie, Mizrabel completes the first part of the spell and makes herself look much younger. Fortunately, Mickey manages to beat Mizrabel before the last part of the spell (turning Minnie into an old crone) is complete, so Mickey is able to foil Mizrabel's plan anyway.

Backtracking: In one of the sections in the Toyland level in the Genesis version, the door to exit is at the beginning of the level, but you need to climb all the way to the top to find the key.

Quicksand Sucks: In the Cakeland portion of the Library level. Okay, it's more like Quick-Jelly, but it definitely Sucks.

Big Fancy Castle: The hub of this game takes place inside the titular Castle of Illusion. Each door Mickey enters leads to a new level, and in the Genesis version, the final battle against Mizrabel takes place in the castle's turret. In the Master System version, the final level takes place inside the heart of the castle, where Mickey must go through several platforming segments before facing off against a dragon and Mizrabel herself.

comment
Tactical Suicide Boss: You can't jump high enough to stomp the second stage boss. Don't worry, he'll start releasing helpful springs for no real other reason than chivalry. You can also cheese him by hiding in a corner. The remake justifies this by having him get hit by his own Extendo Boxing Glove, accidentally releasing the springs in the process. Though that doesn't explain why he keeps using the boxing clove attack.

Load-Bearing Boss: A strange example of this. Once the final boss is defeated, the castle begins to fall apart, likely as a result of the battle, considering she's still alive and in fact has to flee alongside the heroes.

comment
Expy: The evil witch's character model is based on Queen Grimhilde from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs (better known as simply "the Evil Queen")—both in her "hag" guise when she's old, and in her normal incarnation when she's becoming younger in the final battle. The remake takes it further by having her say she wants to be the fairest one of all. The Oaf, the boss of level 5, is a recolored version of Willie the Giant.

One-Winged Angel: During the final battle with Mizrabel in both the Genesis version and the HD remake, Mizrabel uses Minnie's youth and beauty to transform herself from an ugly old witch to a beautiful young woman. This is actually an inversion of Queen Grimhilde's "perfect disguise" in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, which makes sense since Mizrabel's character model is based on that of the Queen's.
