Donald Duck's Quackshot wasn't the only good Disney game for Sega.
Also, I made this blog series as the videos were uploaded in 2013, but somehow, this one also got unaccounted for until recently. So here it is.
The game starts with Mickey and Minnie Mouse in peaceful Vera City. Mizrabel the witch, who is jealous of Minnie's looks and popularity, kidnaps Minnie and takes her to the Castle of Illusion. Now Mickey must brave the challenges of the castle in order to get Minnie back.
When you start the game, you'll find out that Mizrabel is going to do some body switching in order to steal Minnie's looks and make the real Minnie evil and unattractive like her. You'll have to get the seven gems of the rainbow in order to defeat Mizrabel.
When you enter the castle, you'll enter the first room.
Level 1: The Enchanted Forest
Mickey's main attack is the butt stomp. To perform it, simply jump, then either press the jump button again or press Down on the Control Pad to perform it. You have to use the Butt Stomp or else you'll take damage from jumping on an enemy. If you hold the button for the Butt Stomp down after jumping on an enemy, you'll bounce higher than you usually would; otherwise, it is a very low bounce.
The enemies here are very generic. The small moving trees will jump at you, but that's about all they can do. The mushrooms go back and forth, and the flowers will spit seeds at you that can also be destroyed with the butt stomp.
Jump into a swinging rope or chain and you can swing on it. If you run into enemies while swinging, you'll go straight through them and defeat them.
The apples act as throwing items for this level. This is an alternate attack you can use if you can't reach an enemy normally. They don't do as much damage as the butt stomp, but they still come in handy. The maximum you can carry is 30, and if you pick up any more after that, you'll get 1000 points.
The stars will refill one unit of Mickey's health. If your health is full when you pick them up, you'll score 1000 points instead.
The exit door will take you to the next section of a level. Just walk up to it and you'll enter.
The second section starts as pleasantly as the first one. The leaf butterflies just fly forward in a zig-zag pattern. They're not that hard to deal with, as with much of the enemies early in the game.
The mouse ears icon give you an extra life (or try, as the game calls them).
Shortly after the beginning of the second section, you'll be dogged by giant, rolling apples that act as boulders.
The third section is a collection of spider webs and leaves. The leaves act as the platforms for this area. Some of them move when you land on them, so don't move off of them immediately when you land on one of them. You'll meet the spiders, but they just move up and down and get in the way. A butt stomp will take care of them.
In the fourth section, the forest gets dark. Butt stomp the ghosts to use them as platforms. You'll also meet the bats, which will fly at you if you're in the vicinity. You don't have to be that close to them in order for them to fly at you.
The small gems count as bonus points. You can get lives after collecting enough points (the first is at 40000 points, the rest are at every subsequent 50000 points) so they're worth getting.
The small brown bag gives you ten throwing items.
The boss is an enchanted tree. This boss is very simple. Just stay at the far left side of the screen, and jump over the face when it rolls towards you. When it smacks back into the tree and sends acorns down from the top of the screen, just stay at the far left. They'll never spawn there and they'll never reach you. Throw an apple at the face. They do less damage, but you're far more likely to beat the boss without taking any damage this way. The pattern will then repeat endlessly from here.
After you beat the boss, you'll get the Red Gem, the first of the seven rainbow gems. You'll also get a technical bonus based on how much health you have at the end, as well as a secret bonus for all the secret stuff you found.
