Description

This is the first Mickey Mouse game for Sega consoles, in which the most famous Disney character has to face the dangers of weird fantasy lands (such as an enchanted forest or a toy world) rescue his girlfriend Minnie, who's been kidnapped by evil witch Mizrabel.

The gameplay follows the traditional 2D hop n'bop platform style in both 8 and 16-bit versions. But, apart from the story and the music, which is the same, all the rest (including controls, moves, stages and, obviously, graphics), are totally different.
