Nope, i'm not joining the bandwaggon of Ducktales and Castle of Illusion remakes, but I admit I'm kind of interested in the remake of the Sega classic. Since I haven't played this version for a very long time I decided I'll refresh my memories so I can properly review the new Castle of Illusion game when it comes out. The version for Game Gear and Master System was the first video game I ever owned and therefore holds some nostalgic value to me.
The story is the same to the SMS/GG versions: the witch Mizrabel is jealous of Minnie Mouse's beauty and mousenaps her. Mickey doesn't hesitate a second and sets off to rescue her from Mizrabel's Castle of Illusion. You jump 'n run through five very varied and beautifully drawn stages to finally confront the witch. This was one of the early titles in the library of Sega's 16-bit console which is even more impressive.
Mickey's main defense is his butt. He buttstomps enemies to defeat them. In addition to the SMS/GG versions he can also throw objects such as apples or marbles depending on the stage. you carry them like ammunition. in the 8-bit version you pick up rocks or barrels instead to throw at enemies instead. a slight difference, but I prefer to pick up rocks instead of having ammunition.
Castle of Illusion is a simple platformer. run from one side of the screen to the other and avoid obstacles and enemies. there are no power ups and the level design is straight forward. that's not a bad thing. it's an early 16-bit game and not every game needs to have unnecessarily complex game mechanics to be good.
the music is disney-like fun and catchy as well as not repetitive and as mentioned the graphics are fantastic. there is multi-layered parallax scrolling, the graphics and animations are detailed and the backgrounds are very varied. this comes at a price, though, as the stages are few and the game is short - mainly because the cartridge had very limited storage of only 4 MBit. it is also incredibly easy. the game has normal and hard difficulty, but the only difference is that you start out with three or two points of health, respectively. I found the challenge level of the 8-bit version better.
Castle of Illusion for the Genesis or Mega Drive set the bar very high and had a great influence on disney games that followed. It also spawned a series of disney games for Sega platforms with games like World of Illusion or Land of Illusion for SMS/GG. Personally, I appreciate what influence this version of Castle of Illusion had on future games of its kind. however, somehow I like the 8-bit version more. how so? i think it's the difficulty or lack thereof in the 16-bit version. it feels like a tech demo with almost no real obstacles whereas the SMS/GG game feels like a real game even though, of course, the graphics are terrible compared to the mega drive game and i also like that there is an additional stage with a boss on 8-bit consoles before mizrabel.

A timeless masterpiece. The remake does it justice too.
This was one of my favorite games growing up (and as an adult now). Great memories hearing the music. I love how charming this game is with a slight dark under tone to it. I always felt something was trying to kill Mickey, and they were. Lol

My childhood right here. The most memorable parts for me was if Mickey just stood in the forest his hips would sway back and forth in this cute little dance and when he'd get stuck in the jello xD Wish we still had our sega :(

Dillon Feitosa Morais I don't like to judge games before I play them but it looks like they stripped it of everything that made it fun in exchange for making it look good. I would rather play this game on steam remastered than a high definition version that just looks good. Edit: I just looked at a comparison and it looks like they put more work into it than I thought.

This is an old comment, but man, it's such a good remake. Probably the best remake of a 16-bit game I've played. So many parts playing it was like "wow, this is the exact same layout as the Mega Drive one", and yet it felt nice and fluid to play. What exactly about your original inspection made you think it wasn't fun, if you remember?

It's 2017! I got this game a few days ago for my Mega Drive and today I finished it for the first time. Still a great game nearly 30 years after its first release.

Hahahah! Congrats! This is entertaining indeed when you can dive back into your childhood! I gotta get my Megadrive out and give it a go, like the good old days!
Groundbreaking game,I remember going from Zx spectrum to this and it blew me away. Still epic now,especially the cake level
My birthday of 1990, a time I will never forget because of the Megadrive bundle I got with THIS game. This is when having a license for a company giant actually meant something, they were not messing about with this Disney endorsement at all. Probably my personal favourite 2D platformer ever.
I first played this when I was 3 in 1988. It was my very first video game. I love this game. I was mesmerized by it as a 3 yr old.
It was my first game in Mega Drive.
I'm 48...and i played it yesterday for the first times...i'm falling in love! Sorry for my english and let the good times roll!
the master piece of its time, i remembered play this game with my sister, cousin, and my neighboord after the school exam... damn mannn.. i miss that time...
This was the only Mega Drive game i ever completed as a child! Loved this one.
Castle of illusion is one of the best looking master system games. It doesn't look awful at all compared to this version.
The game of my Childhood !

This was my favorite game to play on the Sega! My kids had theirs and this was mine, the memories ❤❤❤
The boss fight music in this game takes me so far back. EPIC
Also: the text that read "YOU STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO BEFORE YOU CAN SAVE MINNIE!" was really demoralising, was it not?

the music at the third part of the first stage scared me so bad when i was a kid
Que nostalgia mano, a parte de musicas desse jogo é demais
I've just had this playing on my phone whilst at same time as playing gta online for some sad reason haha This brought back a lot of early gaming memories for me. The music from all the levels all being bright back. I also remember it was frustratingly difficult on some levels!
Happy memories for me this 😊
Brings back so much memories 😭
The sound broke on my game not long after I got it, so hearing the soundtrack and side effects really takes me back! I remember being a bit scared of this one

Just an advice : in the first level, when you are in the haunted forest, you just have to jump and shoot apples on the mushrooms which are on the ceiling

Plus, at the end, we understand that all of that adventure is a movie displayed in a cinema screen....
My grandma threw away my brothers and my copy of Mortal Kombat because it was "too violent." We were absolutely distraught because MK was the hottest thing around at that time! She made it up to us by buying us this shit to replace it- little did she realize that I would internalize anxiety from the frustration that this fucking game caused me.
Nostalgia pura
I always thought the music and sound effects were fucking epic in this game.
Yeah, this game was great!
i love thi game
I feel like a child again. And I feel this game is the precursor to Kingdom Hearts, I don't know why.
They should make a PvZ with the bosses with these
