PrinceWatercress plays Land of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse - Part 6 of 6


...and now, the thrilling conclusion!



Island Stage


By moving into the boat, you'll head to the island.


You'll need to throw the bean to get a beanstalk. If you throw it to the ground and it sinks downwards, you've found the magic spot. From here, a beanstalk will grow on the world map.


From here, you'll need to climb up the beanstalk. If you have the cloud shoes, you'll be able to walk on the clouds. Bounce off snakes, birds and spiders to get to other places when necessary. You may have to use the tornadoes to get to other places, too.

The key and the door is at the top. If you go left at the top and drop down, you'll find a Power Star.

Phantom's Castle Stage


The door you pick chooses which area you get next.


The left door has you climbing on a wall on the left side of the screen with the Rope to avoid the spikes below and in the air. You will also have to throw blocks out of your way, too. Use the Shrink potion to get to the exit.

The middle door has you riding a moving platform over a yellow liquid. Be ready to avoid projectiles from the dragon heads as well as spikes that line a few of the walls, and be ready to throw some blocks out of your way near the end.

The right door has you riding on platforms while avoiding flames and spikes. You'll have to switch between the two platforms in order to get to the end. Believe it or not, this is the door you want to take, as the final Power Star of the game is at the end of this section. (Pretty cheeky, game.)


Regardless of which room you go through, you'll end up here. Pulling the switch at the beginning gets the wall out of your way, but watch out for the ball and chain that drops down in an attempt to squash you when you get close. Grab the key and take it to the keyhole wall, then grab the key near the door, hit the checkpoint, pull the button above, then leave the room to turn the yellow water into better blue water and enter an upside-down version of this room below.

From here, go left, jump into the switch on the ceiling and go through the door, then get the key and take it back to the upside-down area. Take the key to the keyhole to the right, then go left and hit the switch upwards if you haven't already, trigger the checkpoint after passing by the ball and chains and enter the door.


Here, get the door to follow you around, then butt stomp it and enter the door when it lands on the ground. Go up and pull the switch up, then go into the translucent door to go back to the previous room and butt bounce on the door immediately once you get close to it to make it alive again.


Here, you'll need to swim past the spikes - with some of them moving around - on the way to the bottom. If you can make it to the chest at the end, you'll be able to heal yourself. Hit the checkpoint near the door before going in.

At the bottom is the final boss: the Phantom, who is actually the Horned King from The Black Cauldron.

Butt bounce off the Phantom's head before he raises his arms. When he raises his arms, get right next to him and duck to avoid the fireballs. When he spins around the room, jump over him. If you butt bounce off him when he does this, you won't damage him, but you'll avoid taking damage yourself.

When the Phantom flies to the ceiling and starts spinning around there. When the Phantom stops and raises his arms, watch the ceiling and avoid the falling blocks. One block will stick around on the ground; grab it and throw it at the Phantom the next time he stops spinning. Repeat until you damage him twice.

He will then turn into a projectile that bounces around. Run right under him to avoid getting hit. When he is back in a more humanoid form, butt bounce off his head, then immediately get away to avoid being hit by the lightning bolts.

After three more hits, the Phantom will defeated and he will drop a crystal. Grab the crystal, and you'll beat the game.

Mickey will get a kiss from Princess Minnie. The cast of characters and credits roll, then you'll see how many power stars you got as well as your final score. Mickey wakes up on the couch with a book in his hands and lipstick prints on his cheek. You've just beaten Land of Illusion!
