![]() You’ll have some moments of challenge, but World of Illusion is not a difficult or long. It’s a big step up from the graphics in Castle of Illusion, presenting stages with brighter colors and characters that do a better job resembling their cartoon counterparts. Even with the simple 16-bit graphics, it’s amusing to see Mickey have to come to Donald’s rescue. ![]() If Donald gets stuck, the person playing as Mickey can grab him and pull him out. Playing the game with a friend is really the way to go. Mickey is able to squeeze through certain gaps that Donald’s large duck behind can’t pass through, making the characters go through different paths in the same level. When you’re playing solo, levels will accommodate your lack of partner with things like catapults that will help you reach those heights without the help of a friend.īut even if you’re playing alone, the experience changes based on who you play as. ![]() Then the character who reached the high spot can drop a rope for the other climb. When you’re playing with two people, you can jump off of each other’s shoulders to reach high places. You can play alone as Mickey or Donald, or two players can control both characters. World of Illusion actually has three different experiences. It’s less about fighting enemies and more about cooperative platforming.Īt least it is when you are playing it with two players. World of Illusion only gives Mickey and Donald magic capes to attack with. Castle of Illusion is mostly about jumping on and bouncing off of enemies. Its name suggests it would have a lot in common with Castle of Illusion, but it plays little like its predecessor. Actually, World of Illusion is kind of the third part of an official trilogy of Genesis Disney games all made by the same team, with Quackshot starring Donald Duck resting in the middle (sadly, that’s the only one of the three not included with the Genesis Mini). Released in 1992, World of Illusion is kind of a sequel to Castle of Illusion, which was another Genesis sidescroller that stars Mickey Mouse. You can download Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse after PlayStation Store updates tomorrow, 4/15.Now that I’m older and am getting a chance to play World of Illusion for the first time in years, I can appreciate just how clever and charming this sidescroller is. In addition to Castle of Illusion, Plus members can purchase a number of titles at a discount including LEGO Marvel Super Heroes and Ethan: Meteor Hunter, and as a nice bonus you can download the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles OOTS avatar pack for free. ![]() This bundle will only be available until 4/28 so be sure to download it before then! As an added bonus, if you download this during the first two weeks it’s available in PS Plus you’ll receive the Castle of Illusion Sega Genesis Bundle, which adds the original Sega Genesis version of Castle of Illusion (1990) and a Mizrabel (that’s the evil witch that kidnapped Minnie btw) dynamic theme for free. Although the graphics and gameplay are different, the storyline here is the same – dear old Minnie has been kidnapped by an evil witch and its up to you to save her. If you recognize the name Castle of Illusion from back in the day, you should know that this remake doesn’t just offer upgraded graphics, but also periodic restructuring of the classic 2D side-scrolling platforming gameplay into a 3D space.
