Now Wizzy must brave the many mystical worlds hidden within the castle to find his friend Jenny! All of which sounds fairly typical for a 2D platformer, especially one in the classical style.Then you realize that the game is made by Gameloft, notorious for their gaming Mockbusters. Except that, instead of copying one specific game, Castle of Magic seems to be copying all of them.In contrast to many of Gameloft's other works, Castle of Magic is more of an Affectionate Parody/Homage to the bright, colorful 2D platformers of the 90s than a riff on any one particular work. Although it contains many prominent notes from Super Mario Bros. and its family of games, it also has numerous Shout Outs and mechanical "borrowings" to and from other classic games, The resulting game plays like a mad mishmash of Super Mario Bros., Sonic the Hedgehog, Solomon's Key, and every other platformer under the sun. It's extremely Troperiffic overall.Contrast Eternal Legacy, another Gameloft title that pulls from a more wide-range of titles.This game contains examples of:
