FreezingInfernos plays Mickey Mania for Super Nintendo - Part 6 of 7

We have one more level to go...and this is where the difficulty spikes up.

The Prince and the Pauper

1990

Section 1

If you go to the right, the stairs disappear.

Push the crate to the platform at the start of the stage. From there, leap up to the chandeliers. Walk back and forth on them to rock them, and make the jumps to the right easier.

Hit the switch to light up the library. The weasel knight will attack with either throwing daggers or crossbows, and the only way to defeat them is with marbles. It takes three marbles to take down one of the weasel soldiers, and you'll need to collect every marble you see if you want to survive.

In the library, you'll be using books either as trampolines or as magical teeter-totters that will get you around so you can continue the level.

When you reach Pauper Mickey, you'll find out Prince Mickey is still in the dungeon.

Section 2

Use the pitcher to jump up the platforms and hit the switch at the start. If you need to, move left into the wooden platform to push it to the left enough to make the jump to it and the jump after it. With this, you can continue to the right and enter the chute that lets you exit this section.

Also, coals will fly out of the fireplace to the right of the starting point.

Section 3

Jump on the pump three times so you can inflate the inner tube. Stand on it so you can float to the top of the chamber. You have until it floods to get up there, or else you're going to lose a life.

From there, keep heading right. At this point, you're going to start finding out that the weasels can attack off-screen. The more you play these levels, the better you'll get at figuring out where the weasels are and also attack them from off-screen.

The platform on the chains moves around when you stand on it. Jump over the spikes and make your way to the other end as soon as you're able. The spikes will move on the second platform, and if you can jump to the right from high enough with the second platform, you'll get a hidden star.

You'll then be jumping off platforms over fire pits, complete with coals that jump out and have the potential to damage you. That will be just the worst of your problems, as you'll see weasels hanging out on the edge on the other side.

Go down the next shaft before the walls crush you!

At the spikes blocking your path, move to the right as soon as the first spikes sinks back into the floor. Love the animation on them.

When you reach the dungeon, push the rock onto the switch. From there, you'll have to leap on the platform on the rope and use the platforms to the right to avoid the spikes on the wall and jump back onto the rope platform when it stops moving. The platforms to the right will break after you stand on them for about a second, and if you mess up, you'll have to off-screen the platforms in order to start over. When you make it to the top, you'll meet Prince Mickey.
